Abstract:
A position information aggregation device includes a position information receiving unit receives position information related to the positions of a plurality of mobile communication terminals together with a user ID specifying a user of the terminal corresponding to each position information and an address code of the user, an acquisition rate calculating unit that calculates a position information acquisition rate of each address code of the plurality of terminals using population statistics data and position information of each narrow area in a predetermined broad area, and an aggregating unit that aggregates a population distribution in a certain area by extracting the position information corresponding to the certain area based on the position information received by the position information receiving unit and aggregating the position information in which the position information acquisition rate corresponding to the address code included in the position information is reflected.
Abstract:
A household member number distribution estimation apparatus of the present invention includes a subscriber information acquisition unit that acquires subscriber information that is information regarding subscribers of mobile terminals of a specific carrier in a region within a predetermined range and with which user IDs and main line numbers of the mobile terminals are associated, a household terminal number extraction unit that, by referring to the subscriber information, extracts the number of household terminals that is the number of the mobile terminals for each main line number, a household number extraction unit that extracts the number of households per number of terminals, and a household number estimation unit that, by using a terminal subscription rate in the region within the predetermined range to correct the number of households per number of terminals, estimates the number of households per number of household members that is the number of households for each of the number of household members constituting a household. Thus, the household member number distribution estimation apparatus enables to obtain the number of households for each of the number of household members with high accuracy on the basis of easily obtainable data.

Abstract:
To promptly provide useful person trip information, a location information analysis device (600) includes a selection module (601) that selects a starting point section and an end point section, a point data input module (602) that inputs the point data over a plurality of points of time about a plurality of users, a frequent appearance area extraction module (603) that extracts areas (frequent appearance areas) where the point data are densely congested in excess of a predetermined criterion on two-dimensional map data, a user trajectory extraction module (604) that finds trajectories between the frequent appearance areas for each of the users based on time-series transition of a relative location of the point data of each of the users in relation to the frequent appearance areas and extracts trajectories from the starting point section to the end point section among the trajectories between the frequent appearance areas of each of the users, and a user number calculation module (605) that calculates number of traveling users from the trajectories. The location information analysis device (600) may further include a total traveler number calculation module (606) that calculates total number of traveling people including people irrelevant to the point data, and an output module (607) that outputs the total number of traveling people.
Abstract:
A mobile device and a communication method that enable to collect location information without imposing a load on the mobile device and the network. In the mobile device, a communication module receives a notification signal including a cell ID from a base station and a determining module determines whether the cell ID included in the notification signal corresponds to a cell ID stored in a storage module. A positioning module performs measurements of the location and the communication module notifies the location information thus measured. Thereby, a management center is capable of collecting the location information of the mobile device located in a given area and it is possible to realize processing to efficiently collect the location information by reducing a load on the mobile device and the network.
Abstract:
Provided is a mesh data creation method allowing appropriate expression of population densities while making a balance between accuracy and granularity. In the mesh data creation method, when the number of samples in a region of reference mesh data with a predetermined size is not less than a threshold, divided mesh data is created by dividing the region of the reference mesh data. Namely, each portion with a high population density can be expressed by a fine region of mesh data and each portion with a low population density by a coarse region of mesh data. The above makes it feasible to prevent meshes from becoming too fine to ensure accuracy or, conversely, from becoming too coarse to maintain granularity, thereby resulting in failing to achieve a detailed grasp of population densities, and thus to achieve appropriate expression of population densities while making a balance between accuracy and granularity.
Abstract:
A mobile station, a communication system, and a communication method that are capable of efficiently collecting location information of any user. A communicating module receives a positioning request including attribute specifying information from a management center, a determining module determines whether measurements of the location are necessary or not based on the attribute specifying information in the received positioning request and the attribute information stored in advance. Then, when the determining module determines that measurements of the location are necessary, a positioning module performs measurements of the location and sends location information thus measured to the management center. Accordingly, it is possible to collect the location information of the mobile station that agrees with an attribute that the management center desires and therefore, it is possible to provide an attentive service and the like based on the location information.
