  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a wireless communication system according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, a wireless terminal device 10 has a function capable of performing wireless communication, performs wireless communication with a wireless base station device 11, and connects to the Internet 13 via an ISP (Internet Service Provider) 12. As the radio base station apparatus 11, a femtocell base station can be used. The dedicated content server 14 is a server that can be accessed only from a specific radio base station apparatus 11, and provides limited content that can be browsed only at the installation location of the radio base station apparatus 11.

  The wireless terminal device 10 notifies the wireless base station device 11 of an authentication ID unique to the wireless base station device at the time of location registration, and the wireless base station device 11 checks the validity of the notified authentication ID. When the notified authentication ID is validated, the number of times of location registration of the wireless terminal device 10 is counted, and whether or not the wireless terminal device 10 can access the dedicated content server 14 is determined according to the number of location registrations. .

  As shown in FIG. 2, the radio base station apparatus 11 has a predetermined service area 16. When the user moves with the wireless terminal device 10, the wireless terminal device 10 counts the number of times of location registration every time the wireless terminal device 10 enters the service area 16 of the wireless base station device 11. When the number of times the user enters the service area 16 of the radio base station apparatus 11 with the radio terminal apparatus 10 becomes a predetermined value or more, the user's radio terminal apparatus 10 can access the dedicated content server 14. . Thereby, the user can obtain a privilege according to the number of times of visiting the same place.

  FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of the radio base station apparatus 11 showing the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 3, the receiving unit 22 receives a location registration signal from the wireless terminal device 10 via the antenna 21. The authentication ID determination unit 23 determines whether an authentication ID is added to the signal received by the reception unit 22 or whether the added authentication ID is a unique authentication ID of the radio base station apparatus 11 itself. When the authentication ID determination unit 23 recognizes the added authentication ID as a unique authentication ID of the radio base station device 11, the location registration number updating unit 24 stores the radio terminal device held in the storage unit 27. The position registration count of 10 is incremented. The location registration count determination unit 25 compares the incremented location registration count of the wireless terminal device with the threshold value of the location registration count stored in the radio base station device 11 in advance. The signal processing unit 26 processes the received signal, and when the position registration number determination unit 25 determines that the number of position registrations is equal to or greater than the threshold value, the access restriction to the dedicated content server 14 of the wireless terminal device 10 is released.

  On the other hand, if the authentication ID determination unit 23 does not add an authentication ID to the received signal, or if the added authentication ID does not match the unique authentication ID of the radio base station apparatus 11, authentication is performed. The ID determination unit 23 instructs the authentication ID setting unit 32 to set a unique authentication ID of the radio base station apparatus 11, and the authentication ID setting unit 32 sends the radio signal to the location registration response signal created by the signal processing unit 26. A unique authentication ID of the base station device 11 is set, and the transmission unit 31 transmits a location registration response signal to the wireless terminal device 10 via the antenna 21.

  FIG. 4 is a schematic block diagram of the wireless terminal device 10 showing the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 4, the reception unit 42 receives the location registration response signal from the radio base station apparatus 11 via the antenna 41, and the authentication ID notification determination unit 43 receives the signal of the radio base station apparatus 11 based on the signal received by the reception unit 42. It is determined whether a unique authentication ID is notified. When the authentication ID notification determination unit 43 has notified the authentication ID by the received signal, the notified authentication ID is stored in the storage unit 45 and the received signal is processed by the signal processing unit 44.

  Further, when transmitting the location registration signal, the authentication ID holding determination unit 53 determines whether the storage unit 45 holds the unique authentication ID of the radio base station apparatus 11, and if the authentication ID is held, the authentication ID The setting unit 52 is instructed to set an authentication ID for the location registration signal to be transmitted created by the signal processing unit 44, and the authentication ID setting unit 52 sets the authentication ID to the location registration signal to be transmitted. A location registration signal is transmitted to the radio base station apparatus 11 via the antenna 41.

  Although the configuration of the embodiment has been described in detail above, the signal processing unit 26 in FIG. 3 and the signal processing unit 44 in FIG. 4 are well known to those skilled in the art and are not directly related to the present invention. A detailed configuration is omitted.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing processing on the radio base station apparatus 11 side in radio terminal authentication. In FIG. 5, the radio base station apparatus 11 checks whether the authentication ID is notified from the radio terminal apparatus 10 at the time of location registration from the radio terminal apparatus 10 (step S11). When the authentication ID is notified (step S11: authentication ID is notified), the wireless base station device 11 determines whether the notified authentication ID is a unique authentication ID of the wireless base station device 11 itself (step S11). S12). When the notified authentication ID matches the unique authentication ID of the wireless base station device 11 itself (step S12: self-authentication ID), the wireless base station device 11 indicates that the location registration count of the wireless terminal device 10 is internal. It is determined whether it is held in the storage unit 27 (step S13). If it is held (step S13: with hold), the radio base station apparatus 11 increments the number of times of location registration of the radio terminal apparatus 10 (step S14). If not held (Step S13: No hold), the radio base station apparatus 11 sets “2” as the number of times of location registration of the radio terminal apparatus 10 and stores it in the internal storage unit 27 (Step S13). S15).

  Here, the reason why the location registration count is set to “2” in step S15 is that the wireless terminal device 10 for initial location registration has not transmitted the correct authentication ID of the radio base station device 11 (step S22). This is because it is determined in step S11 that there is no authentication ID notification or in step S12 that the ID is other than the self-authentication ID, and the location registration count is not stored in the internal storage unit 27. Therefore, the location registration count is stored for the second and subsequent times.

  Thereafter, the number of times of location registration of the wireless terminal device 10 is compared with a preset threshold value of the number of location registrations (step S16). If the number of location registrations is greater than or equal to the threshold value (step S16: greater than or equal to the threshold value) The restriction on access to the dedicated content server of the device 10 is released, and browsing of the dedicated content is enabled (step S17).

  On the other hand, when the authentication ID is not notified from the wireless terminal device 10 (step S11: no authentication ID notification), and when the notified authentication ID does not match the unique authentication ID of the wireless base station device 11 (step S11). In S12: other than the self-authentication ID, the radio base station apparatus 11 notifies the radio terminal apparatus 10 of a unique authentication ID of the radio base station apparatus 11 itself (step S18).

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing authentication ID notification processing on the wireless terminal side in wireless terminal authentication. In FIG. 6, at the time of location registration, the wireless terminal device 10 checks whether or not the authentication ID of the wireless base station device 11 held therein is present (step S21), and holds the authentication ID of the wireless base station device 11 inside. If there is an ID (step S21: Internally held authentication ID), the authentication ID is notified to the radio base station apparatus 11 (step S22).

  FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the process of receiving the authentication ID on the wireless terminal device 10 side in the specific wireless terminal authentication. The wireless terminal device 10 checks whether or not the authentication ID is notified from the wireless base station device 11 (step S31), and when the unique authentication ID of the wireless base station device 11 is notified (step S31: with notification). The unique authentication ID of the radio base station apparatus 11 is acquired and stored inside (step S32).

  As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the wireless base station apparatus 11 checks the presence / absence of the notification of the authentication ID from the wireless terminal apparatus 10 and the consistency, thereby performing the initial location registration from the wireless terminal apparatus 10. It is possible to judge whether or not. Then, the wireless base station device 11 counts the number of times of location registration of the wireless terminal device 10, whereby the access to the dedicated content server can be controlled according to the number of times of location registration of the wireless terminal device 10.

  Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the location registration count of the wireless terminal device 10 of the initial location registration is not stored in the storage unit 27, and the location registration count is calculated only when the location registration is performed for the second and subsequent times. By saving in the storage unit 27, the usage amount of the storage unit 27 can be reduced.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications and applications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
