The present invention relates to a disaster response unlocking system.

Dogs and other medium- to large-sized pets are responsible for their owners and must be tied together with ropes or chains or kept inside fences or cages.
However, if the owner is not at home and a disaster such as a major earthquake occurs, the pet will be left in a state of being enclosed in an enclosure or connected to a chain. .

  Even if the owner is at home, if the owner evacuates in the event of a disaster such as a major earthquake, the pet will remain confined in the enclosure or in a chained state. It will be left unattended.

If a house collapses or a fire occurs due to a disaster such as an earthquake, a pet that is trapped or tied in a chain cannot escape.
Even if the house does not collapse or fire does not occur, if the owner continues to return, the pet will remain confined or chained without water or food.

As a similar problem, a child or an elderly person may be confined due to a delay in escape.

As shown in FIG. 1, the disaster response unlock system according to the present embodiment includes the following components.
The network 100 is a network such as the Internet or various LANs. The disaster information center 101 is connected to the network 100, obtains observation results from observation points described later, and distributes emergency earthquake alerts and various disaster occurrence information to each unit via the network as necessary. The observation points 111 a to 111 n are observation points that are arranged in various places throughout the country, in areas where disasters such as earthquakes are predicted, and for observing various disasters such as earthquakes. It is sent to the disaster information center 101.

In this embodiment, an earthquake is used as a specific example of various disasters. For this reason, as a specific example of the disaster occurrence information, an explanation will be given by using an earthquake early warning.
The user home 400 is a place where animals (pets) and their owners (system users) described later live, and is a user home registered as using the earthquake early warning. A PC 210 is installed as an earthquake early warning receiving device that receives via the network 100.

  The PC 210 receives the earthquake early warning from the disaster information center 101 via the network 100. The emergency earthquake warning ordering device may be a dedicated receiver 211 that receives an emergency earthquake warning signal from the disaster information center 101 superimposed on the broadcast radio wave. The earthquake early warning ordering device may be a television receiver or a radio receiver having a function of receiving an emergency earthquake early warning signal from the disaster information center 101 superimposed on the broadcast radio wave.

  The evacuation control signal transmitter 220 transmits the evacuation control signal generated by the PC 210 according to the earthquake early warning received by the earthquake early warning receiver (PC 210 or the dedicated receiver 211) and the user's approval. As the evacuation control signal transmitter 220, it is desirable to use a specific low-power radio device or a weak radio device that does not require a radio station license.

  In the kennel 300, a pet 301 is connected to a chain 320 via a collar 310. The chain 320 is normally locked by the lock unit 340. However, when the evacuation control signal is received from the evacuation control signal transmitter 220, the lock unit 340 is unlocked.

Further, when the lock portion 340 is configured to be small and light, the lock portion 340 may be disposed not on the side where the chain 320 is fixed (ground) but on the side of the collar 310 (the connecting portion between the collar 310 and the chain 320).

  In addition, the gate (entrance / exit) 350 of the kennel 300 is normally locked by the lock unit 360, but when the evacuation control signal is received from the evacuation control signal transmitter 220, the lock unit 360 is unlocked. It has a mechanism that opens the door part of the gate.

  Further, at each doorway 410 in the room, an evacuation guide unit 420 that receives an evacuation control signal and displays an evacuation guidance or outputs an audio is arranged. Here, although only one indoor entrance / exit 410 is shown, it is assumed that it is arranged in each room.

  In addition, the entrance / exit 430 such as the entrance, back door, or emergency exit of the building receives an evacuation control signal and displays an evacuation guidance or outputs a sound (either display only, sound output only, or both display and sound). An evacuation guide part 440 is arranged.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the evacuation guidance unit 420 includes an evacuation guidance display unit 420a that displays evacuation guidance, an evacuation guidance audio output unit (speaker) 420b, and the like. It is desirable that it is arranged at a position about the height. Moreover, the evacuation guide portions as shown in FIG. 2 are arranged in each room, door of each passage, building entrance, back door, emergency exit, and the like.

  Further, as a display of evacuation guidance, it is desirable to instruct the pet in advance to escape from the entrance 410 when a specific color or blinking light is displayed. Similarly, as voice output for evacuation guidance, when a voice of a user who is an owner, a specific sound, an ultrasonic wave, or the like is output, the pet may be instructed beforehand to escape from the entrance / exit 410. desirable. Although not shown, various means such as odor and vibration can be used.

In addition, an automatic opening / closing device (not shown) is provided at each doorway, and the automatic opening / closing device at each doorway is opened according to the evacuation control signal generated by the PC 210 and transmitted from the evacuation control signal transmitter 220. In this case, it is sufficient that each doorway is opened to the extent that the animal is evacuated. In addition, it is desirable that the entrance / exit of a necessary location is opened only for a necessary time period and closed thereafter for fire prevention measures in accordance with an evacuation control signal generated by the PC 210.

  Although not shown, identification means such as an IC tag is embedded in the body of the pet 301 or the collar 310, and an identification means reading unit such as an IC tag reader is arranged in each place in the building or near each doorway.

In this embodiment, “Earthquake Early Warning” means to reduce (reduce) damage caused by the earthquake that the Japan Meteorological Agency started test operation / distribution in February 2004 and started operation in August 2006. New earthquake information for the purpose.

  Whereas conventional earthquake information was announced about 3-4 minutes after the earthquake, this emergency earthquake bulletin is for early tremors (P waves) observed at the seismic station near the epicenter immediately after the earthquake. The waveform is analyzed, and is announced from the disaster information center 101 in about 5 to 7 seconds. By receiving this earthquake early warning prior to the arrival of the seismic wave, it is possible to calculate and know the estimated seismic intensity and margin time before the strong earthquake shakes.

Further, even in systems other than those operated by the Japan Meteorological Agency, the same type of signal is handled as “emergency earthquake warning” in this embodiment.
In addition, in this embodiment, various information such as evacuation information and evacuation preparation information delivered from the same type of system when a disaster such as a tsunami, fire, typhoon, inundation, debris flow, avalanche, or volcanic eruption has occurred Treated as “occurrence information”. In addition, not only when an earthquake or various disasters actually occur, it is also possible to handle prediction information, warnings, warnings, etc. when predicted.

[2] Operation of the first embodiment:
The operation of the present embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3 and the explanatory diagram of FIG. Here, the description will be continued by taking as an example a case where an earthquake occurs as various disasters. Assume that a large earthquake has occurred in any of the regions (Fig. 4 (1)). In that case, the initial tremor (P wave) of the earthquake is detected and observed at the observation point 111i arranged near the epicenter (FIG. 4 (2)).

  The observation point 111i that has detected and observed in this way transmits the fact of earthquake detection and the observation result to the disaster information center 101 via the network 100 or various communication systems not shown.

  The disaster information center 101 that has received the earthquake detection and the observation result (vibration waveform, etc.) from the observation point 111i analyzes the vibration waveform, calculates the estimated seismic intensity, the earthquake arrival time at each location, etc., and includes the calculation result Then, the earthquake early warning is distributed to the user registered in advance in the area where the earthquake is predicted to arrive via the network 100 or various radio waves (FIG. 4 (3)).

In the PC 210 of the user's home 400 that has received the emergency earthquake bulletin distribution (FIG. 4 (4)) from the disaster information center 101 via the network 100 or the like (step S301 in FIG. 3), it is included in the received emergency earthquake bulletin. Various types of information are decoded, and it is determined whether the area is applicable or whether it is necessary to conduct evacuation guidance with unlocking according to the seismic intensity. When the magnitude of the earthquake is small, it is determined not to perform evacuation guidance such as unlocking described below (step S302 in FIG. 3).

  If it is determined that the evacuation guidance needs to be executed (Y in step S302 in FIG. 3), the PC 210 operates as a control means or a communication means, and about unlocking and evacuation guidance addressed to the user (owner) A procedure for requesting approval (e-mail or the like) is transmitted (step S303 in FIG. 3). In this case, the PC 210 sends a simple message about unlocking the collars and chains of the pets in the building, opening each doorway and letting them out of the building, and the contents for requesting a reply to the approval by e-mail or the like. To do.

  Then, either when there is a reply e-mail for approval of evacuation guidance from the user (Y in step S305 in FIG. 3) or when there is no response from the user for a certain period of time (N in step S305 in FIG. 3). The PC 210 starts the evacuation guidance process. That is, because of urgency, the evacuation guidance process is started except when the user sets “disapproved” (N in step S305 in FIG. 3). With the start of the evacuation guidance process, the PC 210 may send an e-mail indicating that the evacuation guidance has started to the user (owner) mail address.

  First, the PC 210 detects the current position in the building of the pet 301 by reading the IC tag embedded in the pet 301 with the identification means readers at various places (step S306 in FIG. 3). Then, while unlocking the gate or entrance / exit near the detected position and in the direction of evacuation guidance, the evacuation control signal is generated so that the gate or entrance / exit is opened, and the corresponding lock unit or automatic An evacuation control signal is transmitted from the evacuation control signal transmitter 220 to the switchgear (step S307 in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 (5)).

  Further, the PC 210 detects the current position in the building of the pet 301 by reading the IC tag embedded in the pet 301 by the identification means reading units at various places (step S306 in FIG. 3), and the detected position of the detected position. An evacuation control signal is sent from the evacuation control signal transmitter 220 so that the evacuation guidance display and voice output are performed by the evacuation guidance display unit 420a and the evacuation guidance voice output unit 420b at the gate and entrance / exit in the vicinity. Is transmitted (step S307 in FIG. 3).

  As the evacuation control signal transmitter 220, a specific low power wireless device is used so that a license for a radio station is not required, and the kennel 300 provided in the vicinity of the user's house 400 and each room are stable. Can send an evacuation control signal. In addition, this evacuation control signal is provided with an identification ID for each lock unit 340 and for each evacuation guidance unit, so that necessary lock release, door opening, evacuation guidance display, audio output, etc. are executed appropriately. It becomes possible to do.

  Here, the PC 210 analyzes the reading result of the IC tag from an IC tag reader (not shown), grasps the current position of the pet 301, and determines whether or not it has passed through the opened gate or doorway (step in FIG. 3). S308).

  If the passage has not been completed (N in step S308 in FIG. 3), the opened gate and doorway are left open, and the display of evacuation guidance and sound output are continued. Here, the evacuation guidance display and audio output may be either evacuation guidance display only, evacuation guidance audio output only, or both evacuation guidance display and audio output.

If the passage is completed (Y in step S308 in FIG. 3), in order to prevent a fire or the like from spreading and to prevent the pet 301 from returning without evacuating, An evacuation control signal is transmitted from the evacuation control signal transmitter 220 to the corresponding automatic opening / closing device so as to perform the process of closing the doorway (step S309 in FIG. 3).

  Here, the PC 210 analyzes the reading result of the IC tag from an IC tag reader (not shown), grasps the current position of the pet 301 (step S310 in FIG. 3), passes through the entrance door, the back door, and the emergency door. It is determined whether evacuation has been completed outside the building (step S311 in FIG. 3). When it is detected that the pet 301 is not out of the building and is in any position in the building (N in step S312 in FIG. 3), the above-described position detection and the gate and entrance / exit are opened / evacuated. Continue to display guidance and output sound.

  As described above, when the evacuation control signal is received from the evacuation control signal transmitter 220 (FIG. 4 (6)), before the earthquake reaches (FIG. 4 (8)), the lock release, the doorway opening, and the evacuation guidance are performed. Display is performed (FIG. 4 (7)), and appropriate unlocking and evacuation guidance are executed. .

  If it is detected that the pet 301 has left the building (Y in step S312 in FIG. 3), the PC 210 operates as a control unit or a communication unit, and the pet 301 is addressed to the user (owner). An evacuation completion notification is transmitted by e-mail or the like (step S312 in FIG. 3). Then, the above process ends.

  Even after the evacuation is completed, the PC 210 operates as a control means and a communication means, periodically grasps the current position of the pet 301 using various position tracking means such as GPS and IC tags, and is addressed to the user (owner). In addition, the current position tracking result of the pet 301 may be transmitted by e-mail or the like.

  In addition, if it is not detected that the pet 301 has evacuated outside the building even after a predetermined time has elapsed after receiving the disaster occurrence information such as the earthquake early warning and starting evacuation guidance, If it is detected that the evacuation is present, the PC 210 may operate as a control unit or a communication unit and transmit it to the user (owner) by e-mail or the like. In this case, the notification of incomplete evacuation does not end at once, but the position detection is continued periodically, and the notification of incomplete evacuation and the current location notification are periodically sent to the user by e-mail, etc. It is desirable to do.

  The above-mentioned disaster response lock release system has functions of unlocking and releasing gates and doors, as well as evacuation guidance display or audio output, and moves from the current position to the next according to the evacuation control signal from the PC 210. Since the automatic opening / closing device at the doorway to be opened is opened and an evacuation guidance is displayed and a sound is output, evacuation can be executed via an appropriate passage or doorway without the animal getting lost in another room.

  In addition, according to the evacuation control signal generated by the PC 210, the entrance / exit of a necessary location is opened only for a necessary time zone and then closed, which is suitable for fire prevention measures. It is possible to prevent the situation from returning to, and to make appropriate evacuation guidance.

  As a result, for large dogs and other medium-to-large pets that must be tied together with ropes or chains, or kept in fences, fences, etc., a large earthquake with no owner at home When a disaster such as the above occurs, chains, fences and fences are automatically released according to the earthquake early warning, the doorway is opened, and evacuation guidance is made, so there is no unnecessary confinement in the building Does not occur.

  Even if the pet is not a chain or a kennel, but is simply kept indoors, it can cause unnecessary confinement in the building by opening and evacuating the above doorways. Disappear.

  Further, prior registration, detection of disaster, transmission of a rescue signal, rescue execution based on reception of a rescue signal, and the like as in Patent Document 1 are not necessary. Moreover, since it is not a combination with a simple earthquake sensor, there is no worry that the chain or gate that restrains the animal is released due to malfunction and the animal escapes.

  In addition, as in Patent Document 2, not only all the doors are simply opened, but an evacuation guidance display or the like at the doorway to be moved as shown in FIG. 2B (the doorway on the right side in FIG. 2B) Since voice output is performed, even if an animal whose direction of exit is not understood is an object, reliable evacuation guidance can be performed.

  In addition, in the above explanation, an emergency earthquake warning in the event of an earthquake was taken as a specific example, but disasters delivered from the same kind of system when disasters such as tsunami, fire, typhoon, inundation, debris flow, avalanche, volcanic eruption occur It can also be applied to the case of occurrence information. In this case as well, when a disaster such as a tsunami, fire, typhoon, inundation, debris flow, avalanche, or volcanic eruption occurs, the chains, fences, and fences are automatically released according to the disaster information data, and each doorway is opened. Because it is guided to open and evacuate, pets are guided out of the building and unnecessary confinement does not occur. Moreover, since it is not a combination with a simple earthquake sensor, there is no worry that the chain or gate that restrains the animal is released due to malfunction and the animal escapes.

[3] Operation of the second embodiment:
The operation of the second embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The system used in the second embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. Further, the same operations as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same step numbers in the flowchart of FIG.

  In this disaster-response unlocking system, the PC 210 notifies the user of a contact list of acquaintances registered in advance and a list of current location information during a procedure for obtaining approval for unlocking and evacuation guidance from the user (see FIG. Step S303A).

  In the case of notification of this list of acquaintances, refer to the location information obtained from each acquaintance's mobile phone, etc. It is desirable to notify the list to the user.

  The user who has received the notification of the contact information can first make a pet protection request (step S303B in FIG. 5) to an acquaintance. The PC 210 may automatically send a pet protection request to an acquaintance by e-mail or the like.

  If this request is made to an acquaintance, the lock release and evacuation guidance are not approved (N in step S305 in FIG. 5), and if the request cannot be made to an acquaintance, the lock release may be approved (FIG. 5). 5 in step S305).

  In addition, when the pet can be requested to protect the pet 301, the lock may be released, but the automatic opening / closing of the entrance / exit may not be performed. Thereby, an acquaintance can reliably protect the pet 301. In addition, when this acquaintance is requested, whether to unlock or not, whether to open the door, whether to display evacuation guidance or whether or not to output sound may be selected or set in advance.

In addition, when the requested acquaintance visits to protect the pet 301, the PC 210 that has detected the acquaintance by various sensors indicates that the acquaintance has come, that the pet 301 has been protected by the acquaintance, and that the pet 301 and the acquaintance are evacuated. It is desirable to detect the completion of the notification and notify the user by e-mail or the like.

  Even after the evacuation is completed, the PC 210 operates as a control means and a communication means, periodically grasps the current position of the pet 301 using various position tracking means such as GPS and IC tags, and is addressed to the user (owner). In addition, the current position tracking result of the pet 301 may be transmitted by e-mail or the like.

[4] Operation of the third embodiment:
The operation of the third embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The system used in the third embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. Further, the same operations as those in the first embodiment and the second embodiment are denoted by the same step numbers in the flowchart of FIG.

  In this disaster-response unlocking system, if the PC 210 does not respond to the procedure for obtaining approval for unlocking and evacuation guidance from the user (N in step S304 in FIG. 6), the PC 210 is a registered acquaintance. Is requested for evacuation guidance approval (step S611 in FIG. 6). That is, if there is no response from the user within a certain period of time, the same content as the procedure (e.g., e-mail) for requesting evacuation guidance addressed to the user is used. If an acquaintance of the person wears a device that emits GPS information and there is a system that can confirm the GPS information, the information is transmitted to an acquaintance who is sure to be in the vicinity.

  Here, when the evacuation guidance approval is obtained (Y in step S613 in FIG. 6), the PC 210 executes the processes of unlocking and evacuation guidance (step S306 in FIG. 6). In addition, even when there is no response from an acquaintance (N in step S612 in FIG. 6), the PC 210 executes the process of unlocking and evacuation guidance (step S306 in FIG. 6). That is, in this case as well, there is urgency, and unlocking and evacuation guidance are executed unless the acquaintance makes “disapproved”. In this way, since unlocking and evacuation guidance are performed without approval or response from an acquaintance as well as the user, reliable evacuation can be executed, and unnecessary confinement and unnecessary release are less likely to occur. . Note that it is desirable to determine in advance whether only the user is approved or how many acquaintances are to be contacted when the user cannot be contacted.

[5] Operation of the fourth embodiment:
The operation of the fourth embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The system used in the fourth embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. Further, the same operations as those in the first embodiment and the second embodiment are denoted by the same step numbers in the flowchart of FIG.

  In this disaster response lock release system, after receiving the disaster occurrence information (step S301 in FIG. 7), the PC 210 first detects the current position of the user (step S302A in FIG. 7).

  In this case, identification means such as an IC tag is embedded in a wristwatch, glasses, or the body possessed by the user, and an identification means reading unit such as an IC tag reader is disposed in each place in the building or near each doorway. And Then, it is assumed that the reading results of the identification unit reading unit are collected in the PC 210 and the position of the user in the building is grasped by the PC 210. When the user is outside the building, the PC 210 uses the position information obtained from the mobile phone owned by the user or the position information obtained by the identification means reading unit such as an IC tag reader when the user is in the user's house. Detecting the current position of the user.

Then, the emergency earthquake bulletin distribution (FIG. 4 (4)) is received from the disaster information center 101 via the network 100 or the like (step S301 in FIG. 7). Various types of information included are decoded, and it is determined whether the area is applicable or whether evacuation guidance with unlocking or the like is necessary according to the seismic intensity or the like.

  Here, evacuation guidance is not required when the user is in the same room as the pet 301, depending on the earthquake early warning data and the user's position. Unnecessary / evacuation guidance required, approval required if the user is away from the pet 301 but in the country, evacuation guidance required, if the user is away from the pet 301 and is in a remote location (foreign country, domestic island, etc.) Determines that approval is unnecessary and evacuation guidance is required (step S302B in FIG. 7).

Note that the user can arbitrarily set the combination of the setting that does not require approval and the need for evacuation guidance on the PC 210.
For example, when the user is in a foreign country, the approval procedure is not required in view of the relationship between time differences and communication circumstances. In addition, when there are a user and a pet in the same room, it is up to the user's responsibility to eliminate the need for system unlocking or evacuation guidance. Moreover, if it is the state of those intermediate states, as demonstrated in 1st embodiment-3rd embodiment mentioned above, the lock release by a system and evacuation guidance are performed.

  Basically, this disaster response unlocking system is a measure against animals such as pets, but if the user and the pet 301 are in different rooms of the same building, evacuation guidance is executed in parallel with each other. Also good. In that case, it is also desirable to guide the evacuation so that it is possible to join in the middle if possible according to the position detection result.

  Note that the PC 210 operates as a control unit and a communication unit during evacuation and after completion of evacuation, and periodically grasps the current position of the pet 301 by using various position tracking units such as a GPS and an IC tag. The current position tracking result of the pet 301 may be transmitted to an e-mail or the like.

[6] Fifth embodiment:
The operation of the fifth embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The system used in the fifth embodiment is the same as that shown in FIG. Further, the same operations as those in the first embodiment to the fourth embodiment are denoted by the same step numbers in the flowchart of FIG.

  In each of the embodiments described above, the emergency earthquake bulletin distribution (FIG. 4 (4)) from the disaster information center 101 is received via the network 100 or the like (step S301 in FIG. 8). From the received data, the type, content, scale, expected arrival time, etc. of the disaster are displayed as a warning screen. At this time, even if there is a screen display of the application program being used, this display is performed on the forefront (step S303A in FIG. 8). In addition, it is also desirable to be accompanied by a color or flashing light that alerts the user, or an alarm sound.

  Then, the PC 210 operates as a control means or a communication means, and transmits a procedure (e-mail or the like) for requesting approval for unlocking and evacuation guidance to the user (owner) (step S303B in FIG. 8). In this case, the PC 210 sends a simple message about unlocking the collars and chains of the pets in the building, opening each doorway and letting them out of the building, and the contents for requesting a reply to the approval by e-mail or the like. To do.

Further, the PC 210 performs control to save open data and terminate other application programs in use. Note that the program for unlocking and evacuation guidance used in this embodiment also operates in a state in which the hard disk device is stopped after loading the necessary programs and data from the hard disk device onto the main memory (FIG. Step S303C) in Step 8 is desirable for protecting the computer.

  Also, the PC 210 stores the above-described situation of unlocking and evacuation guidance, and after a certain period of time has elapsed after displaying the above warning screen, the status of unlocking and evacuation guidance, the current position of the pet, etc. It is also desirable to display the presence / absence of merging with an acquaintance, the presence / absence of evacuation completion, the tracking result after evacuation, and the like (step S313 in FIG. 8). By doing so, it is useful for a user who has returned after a disaster to grasp the status of evacuation guidance or evacuation completion.

The fifth embodiment can be executed in combination with all of the first to fourth embodiments described above.
[7] Other embodiments:
In addition, even when the level of earthquake or disaster is low and the level for unlocking and evacuation guidance has not been reached, the PC 210 operates as a control means and communication means, and unlocking and evacuation guidance for the user (owner) are performed. It is also possible to send a procedure (e-mail etc.) to ask for a visit to execute. In this case, the user transmits, as a reply mail, an instruction to transmit an evacuation control signal in response to the unlocking / evacuation guidance request. Then, when there is a reply mail to the lock release / evacuation guidance request, the PC 210 transmits an evacuation control signal to the evacuation control signal transmitter 220.

  Even when various types of disaster occurrence information such as earthquake early warnings have not occurred, the PC 210 controls according to the detection results of various sensors (vibration sensors, temperature sensors, gas detection sensors) installed at the user's home. It is also possible to operate as a means or a communication means and send a procedure (e.g., mail) for requesting a visit to perform unlocking and evacuation guidance to the user (owner). In this case, the user transmits, as a reply mail, an instruction to transmit an evacuation control signal in response to the unlocking / evacuation guidance request. Then, when there is a reply mail to the lock release / evacuation guidance request, the PC 210 transmits an evacuation control signal to the evacuation control signal transmitter 220.

  In the above description, the evacuation control signal is generated according to the emergency earthquake warning or disaster occurrence information. However, if the emergency earthquake warning or disaster occurrence information cannot be received for some reason, the PC 210 displays the weather information. With reference to the above, the procedure for requesting the evacuation guidance approval or the procedure for requesting unlocking may be performed. In this case, the PC 210 performs the same procedure as described above with reference to the weather information obtained via the network.

  In the above description, the evacuation control signal is generated according to the emergency earthquake warning or disaster occurrence information. However, when the emergency earthquake warning or disaster occurrence information cannot be received due to network down or the like, the PC 210 May refer to weather information from a weather sensor installed at the user's house and perform the above-described procedure for requesting evacuation guidance or the procedure for unlocking. In this case, if it is clear that the user cannot be contacted because the network is down, the PC 210 may execute unlocking and evacuation guidance without obtaining user approval. Then, after the recovery of the network, the fact that the unlocking and the evacuation guidance are executed may be reported after the fact.

  In the above case, the communication and reply from the PC 210 to the user is not limited to e-mail, but the PC 210 operates as a kind of server and the user accesses and receives a message via the web screen of the mobile terminal. It may be in a format for inputting approval or instructions.

In addition, when the PC 210 and the user communicate as described above, an existing mobile phone may be used, or a dedicated mobile terminal may be facilitated.
Further, the PC 210 and the user may directly communicate with each other by e-mail or the like, or the PC 210 may be a server, or another server (not shown) for communication and approval is prepared. May be.

  In addition, the case where the pet is unlocked and the evacuation is guided has been described as a specific example, but the present invention can also be applied to the evacuation guidance for an elderly person or a child. In that case, the evacuation guidance display and audio output may be set to a suitable state for an elderly person or a child.
