Apparatus for acquiring content through wireless communication

1. A mobile wireless communication device that wirelessly communicates with one or more base stations that provide wireless communication service, the mobile wireless communication device comprising:

a location information storage unit configured to store a location information that indicates a location of content of the wireless communication service;

a content storage unit configured to store the content that is acquired from a location indicated in the location information;

a history storage unit configured to store history information including a predetermined order of history records, each including a cell identifier (ID) identifying one of the one or more base stations in association with a time period during which wireless communication is established with the one of the one or more base stations;

a determination unit configured to determine a possibility of transition of the mobile wireless communication device from a state that wireless communication with a current base station is established to a state that the mobile wireless communication device is in an outside zone of the wireless communication service, the determination unit being configured to determine the possibility of transition on the basis of a current cell ID received from the current base station and included in the predetermined order of history records included in the history information and on the basis of a previous amount of time of establishment of wireless communication of the mobile wireless communication device with the current base station when the current base station was a last base station with which the mobile wireless communication device had established wireless communication before a previous transition to the state that the mobile wireless communication device is in the outside zone of the wireless communication service; and

an updating unit configured to acquire a content from the location indicated in the location information that is stored in the location information storage unit, by using wireless communication service that is provided by the current base station, so as to update content of the content storage unit, when the determination unit determines that there is a possibility of transition to the state that the mobile wireless communication device is in the outside zone of the wireless communication service.

2. The mobile wireless communication device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a detector configured to detect whether the mobile wireless communication device is in a zone of the wireless communication service, based on the current cell ID received from the current base station;

a first outputting unit configured to output a content that is stored in the content storage unit in response to a request to acquire content based on the location information, in a case of the mobile wireless communication device being in the outside zone of the wireless communication service; and

a second outputting unit configured to acquire a content from a location that is indicated in the location information by using the wireless communication service in response to a request to acquire content based on the location information, so as to output the content that is acquired by wireless communication with the base station, in a case of the mobile wireless communication device being in an inside zone of the wireless communication service; wherein

in a case of the mobile wireless communication device being in the inside zone of the wireless communication service, the determination unit collates information of a current base station with which wireless communication is established with base station information that has been stored in the history storage unit before detecting the state of the mobile wireless communication device being in the outside zone of the wireless communication service, so as to determine a possibility of transition from the state that wireless communication with the current base station is established to the state that the mobile wireless communication device is in the outside zone of the wireless communication service.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process in a mobile wireless communication device that wirelessly communicates with one or more base stations that provide wireless communication service, the process comprising:

storing a location information that indicates a location of content of the wireless communication service;

storing the content that is acquired from a location indicated in the location information;

storing a history information including a predetermined order of history records, each including a cell identifier (ID) identifying one of the one or more base stations in association with a time period during which wireless communication is established with the one of the one or more base stations;

determining a possibility of transition of a mobile wireless communication device from a state that wireless communication with a current base station is established to a state that the mobile wireless communication device is in an outside zone of the wireless communication service, the possibility of transition being determined on the basis of a current cell ID received from the current base station and included in the predetermined order of history records included in the history information and on the basis of a previous amount of time of establishment of wireless communication of the mobile wireless communication device with the current base station when the current base station was a last base station with which the mobile wireless communication device had established wireless communication before a previous transition to the state that the mobile wireless communication device is in the outside zone of the wireless communication service;

acquiring a content from a location indicated in the location information by using wireless communication service that is provided by the current base station, when it is determined that there is a possibility of transition to the state that the mobile wireless communication device is in an outside zone of the wireless communication; and updating the content.
