Claim Text:
1. An information processing device that manages a user equipment in a communication system providing a femtocell, the information processing device comprising: a storage unit that stores restriction or addition of a function of the user equipment in association with at least a cell ID for identifying the femtocell; a reception unit that receives a change in camping of the user equipment on the femtocell from a femto base station having detected the change in camping, the change in camping being notified to a notification destination, the notification destination representing the information processing device and being preliminarily set in the femto base station; a management unit that restricts or adds the function of the user equipment stored in the storage unit, upon receiving a change in the user equipment moving from an outside of coverage of the femtocell to an inside of the coverage, and that cancels the restriction or addition of the function of the user equipment, upon receiving a change in the user equipment moving from the inside of the coverage to the outside of the coverage; and a unit that receives, from the femto base station, an instruction to change, add, or delete the restriction or addition of the function of the user equipment stored in the storage unit, wherein the management unit uses an OMA-DM (Open Mobile Alliance-Device Management) protocol for the restriction or addition, and the cancellation, wherein the restriction or addition includes at least one of: wherein the restriction or addition of the function of the user equipment is stored in association further with IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) for identifying a subscriber that owns the user equipment and/or CSG ID (Closed Subscriber Group ID) for identifying a group to which the subscriber belongs, wherein the restriction or addition of the function of the user equipment with respect to the femtocell controlled by the femto base station is changed, added, or deleted in the storage unit based on the received instruction, wherein the notification destination is included in transmission data to be transmitted to the femto base station, the transmission data being compliant with a standard protocol in the communication system that provides the femtocell, wherein the notification destination is included in one of a parameter set by a maintenance management server that manages the femto base station, a parameter set by a gateway connected to a core network, and a parameter set by a packet core via a network, wherein the reception unit receives the change in camping from the femto base station, when the femto base station detects the change in camping of the user equipment and when monitoring information indicates that the user equipment needs to be monitored by the femto base station, the monitoring information being received by the femto base station and indicating whether or not the user equipment needs to be monitored by the femto base station, wherein the monitoring information is included in the transmission data, and wherein the monitoring information is included in one of the parameter set by the maintenance management server, the parameter set by the gateway, and the parameter set by the packet core.
