Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problems such that an alarming destination can not be determined freely since the telephone number of a notification destination is predetermined and that only a predetermined telephone number can be contacted only by a single-time origination. SOLUTION: The portable telephone ID of a portable telephone present in the communication range of a station or repeater station in an inputted alarm area is obtained (steps 100 to 111) and alarm contents are sent to the portable telephone with the obtained portable telephone ID (steps 112 to 115). Consequently, if there are a plurality of telephones in the alarm area, the same alarm contents can be sent to the portable telephones at the same time through a single transmitting operation. The alarm contents are resent only once to a portable telephone having failed in reception.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of an embodiment of the radio communication system according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, an alarm system 10 includes an input unit 11 that receives an alarm content, an alarm target area information, and a retransmission count information 50 indicating an alarm to be transmitted to which area by an input method using a keyboard, voice, or the like. A storage unit 12 for storing input information from the unit 11, a receiving unit 13 for receiving the mobile phone ID in the target area, and a mobile phone ID storage unit in the target area for registering the mobile phone ID in the target area received by the receiving unit 13 14 and
It comprises a transmitting unit 15 for transmitting an alarm to the registered ID, and a control unit 17 for controlling a controlled unit 16 composed of these blocks 11 to 15.

The alarm system 10 includes a portable telephone 30
It is connected to a station / relay station 20 of the exchange which communicates with the network, and is connected to a station / relay station database 40 of the exchange via a network. The receiving unit 13 has a function of communicating with the station / relay station 20, a function of determining whether the received mobile phone ID is the target station or the relay station, and a function of receiving information transmitted from the receiving unit 13 to any mobile phone. Mobile phone ID that did not
From the station / relay station database 40. The transmitting unit 15 has a function of transmitting the ID in two parts when there are many IDs to be transmitted and communication must be performed more than traffic.

Next, the operation of the embodiment shown in FIG.
This will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. When the content of the alarm, the information on the area to be alerted, and the number of retransmissions (indicated by 50 in FIG. 1) are input to the input unit 11 (step 100), the content of the alarm, the area of the area to be alerted, and the number of retransmissions are stored in the input information storage unit. It is stored in the storage unit 12 (step 101).

The above-mentioned warning contents are, for example, disaster warning contents such as a danger of a tsunami, and the above-mentioned warning target area information is, for example, the names of prefectures, municipalities (for example, the entire area of Kashiwa-shi, etc.). As for the input method, any method such as a keyboard input or a voice input can be used as long as the above-described alarm content, alarm target area information, and retransmission count information 50 can be input. When an alarm is transmitted to the mobile phone 30, the input is voice input, but the input information is converted to voice at the time of transmission and transmitted.

Next, the station / relay station database 40 is inquired about the target station and the relay station information included in the target area using the storage target area information of the storage unit 12 as a key (step 102). The station / relay station database 40 is the station position information of the exchange. Further, the information to be obtained is a station name itself or a symbolized one in accordance with the system of the station / relay station database 40, and it is possible to determine the target station. With the above inquiry, the name of the target station included in the target area is obtained (step 103).

Subsequently, the receiving unit 13 starts acquiring the mobile phone ID (step 104), records the ID acquisition start time, and sets the ID acquisition limit time (step 105).
The method of obtaining the mobile phone ID is such that the mobile phone 30 is always
It communicates with the relay station 20 and utilizes the fact that the station / relay station 20 has a mobile phone ID number, which is a record of the communication. The above-mentioned ID acquisition limit time is a time from the ID acquisition start time to the acquisition end time. Therefore, for example, when the ID acquisition start time is 12:30 and the ID acquisition limit time is set to 30 seconds, the acquisition end time is 12:30:30, and this 12:30 to 12:30: Mobile phone IDs acquired up to 30 are registered.

When the receiving unit 13 obtains the mobile phone ID, which is the unique number of the mobile phone (step 106), the mobile phone ID is located within the communication range of the station / relay station (target station) installed in the target area. It is determined whether or not the mobile phone belongs to a mobile phone that is in service (step 107). If the mobile phone does not belong to the target station, the process returns to the mobile phone ID acquisition process. On the other hand, if the acquired mobile phone ID is that of the target station, it is determined whether all the IDs of the target station have been acquired (step 10).
8) If all IDs have not been obtained, mobile phone I
The acquired mobile phone ID is registered in the D storage unit 14 (step 109).

Subsequently, the receiving unit 13 determines whether the time is within the acquisition time limit (step 110). If the time is within the acquisition time limit, the process returns to the process of acquiring the next mobile phone ID. If the acquisition time limit has been exceeded, the receiving unit 13 ends the acquisition of the mobile phone ID (step 111). The receiving unit 13
If it is determined in step 108 that all mobile phone IDs of the target station have been acquired,
The acquisition of the mobile phone ID ends (step 111).

After the receiving unit 13 completes the acquisition of the mobile phone ID, the control unit 17 obtains the transmission destination from the mobile phone ID registered in the mobile phone ID storage unit 14 (step 112). After notifying and starting the transmission process (step 113), further reading out the alarm content from the storage unit 12 and changing it to voice data (step 114),
Notify the transmitting unit 15 and cause the transmitting unit 15 to transmit to the destination mobile phone via the station / relay station 20 (step 11).
5).

With this, if there are a plurality of destination mobile phones, voice data with the same alarm content is simultaneously transmitted to all of the plurality of destination mobile phones, as in the broadcast of e-mail. Becomes Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the retransmission setting number input in step 100 satisfies a retransmission condition of whether or not the actual number of transmissions is greater than or equal to (step 116), and (retransmission setting number) <(actual transmission). If the number is the number of times, it is determined to be retransmission (step 117), and the mobile phone ID already registered in the mobile phone ID storage unit 14 within the target area is used as a key to inquire the station / relay station database 40 of the incoming call status. (Step 118).

The target area mobile phone ID storage unit 14 stores
A retransmission check column is also provided in correspondence with the already registered mobile phone ID. The incoming call status is checked for the already registered mobile phone ID (step 119). result,
If an incoming call has been received, a flag is set in the retransmission check column corresponding to the mobile phone ID and the fact that the mobile phone has been received is stored, and then it is checked whether the next registered mobile phone ID has not been received. I do.

As a result of the inquiry in step 118, if the mobile phone indicated by the mobile phone ID has not been received, the flag in the retransmission check column corresponding to the mobile phone ID in the mobile phone ID storage unit 14 is cleared. After the fact that there is no incoming call is stored, it is checked whether or not the unanswered call has been determined for all the mobile phone IDs registered in the mobile phone ID storage unit 14 (step 121). If it has not ended, it is determined that a call has not been received (step 119). In this way, it is determined that all mobile phone IDs registered in the mobile phone ID storage unit 14 have not received a call, the flag is cleared in the corresponding retransmission check column of the registered mobile phone ID that has not received a call, and Registered mobile phone ID
The corresponding retransmission check column is flagged.

When it is determined that there is no incoming call for all the mobile phone IDs registered in the mobile phone ID storage unit 14, the process proceeds to steps 111, 112, and 113 described above.
, 114, and then transmission is performed at step 115. At this time, the transmission content held in the storage unit 12 is transmitted again only to the mobile phone of the mobile phone ID for which the flag in the retransmission check column of the mobile phone ID storage unit 14 is cleared. After the transmission is completed, it is determined again at step 116 whether the retransmission condition is satisfied.

In the same manner as described above, among the mobile phones with the mobile phone IDs registered in the mobile phone ID storage unit 14, the above-mentioned transmission contents are retransmitted to the unreceived mobile phones a set number of times. You. The transmission ends even if there are still unreceived mobile phones even if the mobile phone with the mobile phone ID registered in the mobile phone ID storage unit 14 is retransmitted the number of times set as described above (step 122). This is because it is conceivable that the mobile phone moves out of the alarm area.

Even if the number of retransmissions is less than the set number of retransmissions, if the number of retransmissions is less than the set number of retransmissions, the number of unreceived mobile phones disappears, and it is determined that all mobile phones have been received. If confirmed in 116, the transmission is immediately terminated without waiting for the retransmission set number of times (step 122).

As described above, according to the present embodiment,
The voice data of the desired alarm content input from the input unit 11 is simultaneously transmitted to the mobile phones located within the communication range of each station installed in the alarm area input to the input unit 11, respectively. To all of the portable telephones, the voice data of the desired information content can be simultaneously reported in one call operation. In addition, it is possible to eliminate unreceived mobile phones by retransmission.

Although the above embodiment has been described with reference to an example of an alarm system that warns of disaster information, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a system that reports emergency information such as an emergency or the like may be used. Of course, the present invention can be applied to various systems requiring information. The number of retransmissions may be only one.

[0030]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The voice data of the desired information input from the input unit is simultaneously transmitted to the mobile phones located within the communication range of each station installed in the notification area input by the input unit. Voice data of desired information contents can be simultaneously reported to all the mobile phones in the area by one call operation.

Further, according to the present invention, desired information is reported to a mobile phone located within the communication range of each station installed in the reporting area.
