JP2002005667A - Communication system for dtmf signal specific position information - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the conventional problem brought about, when a position of the parties concerned cannot be surely transmitted, such that it takes a considerable time to confirm the position if a name of the position or the position is unknown, if an emergency call is made by a cellular phone or the like to a police station or a fire station, it causes much trouble, if the police station outside the jurisdiction for the present position of the parties concerned receives the call, or the like, or it takes time to specify the reporting position due to language problems or the like. SOLUTION: A Gpos number, displayed to a structure, is inputted with the use of a DTMF signal and transmitted to the other party. The DTMF signal specific position information communication system, when receiving the signal, analyzes the signal and displays a specific position of the transmitting party on a map. Since the correct position can be grasped instantaneously by this method, smooth processing in a short time is enabled. Similarly, since the position of the parties concerned can be reported and transmitted automatically in an emergency state, such as an accident or the like, early detection and early settlement can be attempted.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Mobile phones, PHS simplified mobile phones (hereafter called PHS), general subscriber phones (hereafter called subscriber phones), public phones, and wireless devices have beeper sound, that is, DTMF (Dual Tone Multiple Frequencies).
quency) signal (hereinafter referred to as DTMF). In addition, each point on the earth can be represented by latitude and longitude, and they are all represented by numerical values. Hereinafter, this numerical value is called (Gpos number) and is used.

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A mobile phone, a PHS subscriber phone, and the like, which use a communication device such as a wireless device to notify a partner of a specific location. Also, the position of the sending side is displayed on a map.

[Prior art]

[0002] Until now, in order to accurately notify a specific position to a partner, the position has to be checked by a map or by a GPS receiver and then transmitted by voice. The GPS receiver at this time is unusable in places where it is difficult to receive radio waves from satellites, such as underground, in a building, or in a place surrounded by buildings.

[0003] It is difficult for a person who cannot speak, a deaf-mute person or a person whose pronunciation is unclear to inform the other party of his / her current position or a position to be conveyed.

At present, there is a system such as PHS that can confirm that a transmitting side exists within a radius of about 300 meters using a large number of base stations. However, the accuracy depends on the characteristics of radio waves and the like. And the display is only represented within a wide circle, and the position is not detailed.

[0005] In addition, in spite of urgency of an emergency call using a mobile phone, it is difficult to specify the report place of the calling party due to the function of the exchange, although the emergency is required. In particular, when a call is made from a prefectural border or mountainous area using a mobile phone or PHS, the nature of the radio wave may cause a police station (communication control room) or fire department under the jurisdiction different from the place where the caller is located to receive power, and may be dispatched. Time is spent and processing is delayed.

[0006] As internationalization progresses, people from all over the world live in Japan. Even if you receive an emergency call from one of these foreigners, you will have to spend time trying to figure out where to call if you do not understand the language. This is particularly noticeable when an emergency call is received from a mobile phone or PHS that many foreigners own. At present, each prefectural police and others conduct training in foreign languages, but only training in some languages, such as English, is not complete.

[0007] There is a system for automatically notifying a person who has designated the position of a party when the party cannot move when an emergency occurs, but when the party cannot move, such as in a car accident. An emergency report system that automatically reports that an emergency has occurred and the location of the occurrence to the police or fire department and responds immediately has not yet been established.

Conventionally, it is necessary to check a specific position using a map or a GPS receiver. Therefore, when the current location is unknown or a person who cannot speak, especially a person who is deaf or who has an unclear pronunciation. When it is not possible to convey the current location verbally due to an accident, or when a person who cannot read the kanji of the place name at the current location, a dialect, a large-sized person, or a foreigner, an emergency call to the police or fire department is immediate. There is a problem that cannot be processed.

[0008] Mobile phones and PHS from prefectural borders and mountainous areas
When a call is made using a telephone, there is a problem that the police station (prefectural police) or fire station that has a different jurisdiction from the jurisdiction of the place where the caller resides may receive power, so it cannot be processed immediately.

[0009] Since the present position must be accurately communicated to the JAF and the like even when dispatched to the JAF Japan Automobile Federation or the like, there is a risk of a secondary disaster due to traffic congestion or the like until the JAF work vehicle arrives. Further, on a road in a mountainous area or the like, it is not easy to find out the place name or the like of the current position of the party, so that processing is delayed because time is spent.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

[0010]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A system that transmits (Gpos number) indicating a specific position (latitude / longitude) of a side to be notified by a DTMF signal and receives and receives the signal (car navigation, police, fire, etc.) DTMF of (Gpos number) sent by the party that notified the communication control room on the map)
The signal is analyzed by the DTMF signal specific position information communication system, and the position is displayed on a map. (FIG. 1) is an example of the main embodiment. (Fig. 2) shows DTMF
Signal-specific location information communication system is connected to a car navigation system, a mobile phone, and a car computer (airbag, impact sensor, etc.) to automatically notify an emergency in the event of an emergency. It is an example of a system for making an emergency call.

[0011]

[Embodiment] The signboard of the place name displayed at the bottom of the traffic light at each intersection, telephone poles, telephone poles, stations, shops, lot numbers, arbitrary places on mountain trails, the summits, observation decks, and beaches (Gpos number) is displayed on the building at each point, etc. Regarding the display and entry method of this (Gpos number), the person who enters the information checks the car navigation system or the map. (FIG. 3) (FIG. 4)
Is an example in which the position (Gpos number) is displayed on a building. The person who wants to notify sends the numerical value (Gpos number) displayed on the building by DTMF (push phone) of a mobile phone, PHS, public phone, or subscribed phone, and the other party (car navigation, police, To the fire department's communication control room).

In addition, a car navigation system, a mobile phone, and a car computer (such as an airbag and an impact sensor) are connected to the DTMF signal specific position information communication system.

[0013] In the event of an emergency in which the sensor detects an accident and the airbag is operating, or when the parties cannot move and cannot make an emergency call on their own, the current position is analyzed by car navigation. And report to the Police and Fire Service Communications Command Room. At this time, the fact that an emergency has occurred and the point of occurrence are reported by a mobile phone or the like. When the notification is received, the DTMF signal is analyzed by the DTMF signal specific location information communication system, and the specific location (emergency location) of the side reporting the occurrence of the emergency is displayed on a map. Any method of displaying the specific position on the map may be considered. (FIG. 5) is an example showing (Gpos number) at a specific place in Japan, and describes the position, latitude, longitude, (Gpos number), and entry method from the left. As can be understood from this description, the latitude and longitude are displayed up to seconds, and the latitude is a simple method (example of entry) in which # is entered for the longitude and * is entered before the numerical value. # And * are examples of a method for distinguishing between latitude and longitude, and any other suitable method may be used.

(Gpos number) is represented by (FIG. 3)
FIG. 7A shows an example in which longitude and latitude are directly represented as numerical values, and FIG. 3B shows a simplified display in which numerical values of latitude and longitude are registered as shown in FIG.

Simplified numerical values of longitude and latitude as shown in FIG. 3B (Gpos number) are registered points, and are main points such as main intersections, stations, sightseeing spots and famous buildings. In consideration of the convenience of the person who tries to notify the user.

The registration point of (Gpos number) may be left to a public organization. This is the same idea as when the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications assigned a specific postal code to schools and broadcasting stations when shifting to the seven-digit display of postal codes, and the sending side notified in a short time with a small number of digits. Consider the convenience of being able to do it.

The (Gpos number) number of the registration point may be assigned and determined by a public organization.

As for the method of displaying the (Gpos number) on the building, a method of applying a proper coating is optimal, but it is considered that a method of attaching with a seal or a sticker is inexpensive for widespread use.

For the spread, it is best to publicize widely and public organizations work to spread it. However, it is enough to ask each individual to check the latitude and longitude of the point to be displayed and to display it in the designated method. It is. As described in (Fig. 5), it is possible to easily check the latitude and longitude using a car navigation system or a map of Zenrin Co., Ltd.

According to the PHS, the position information of the other party can be confirmed using the base station, but the accuracy is easily influenced by the characteristics of radio waves, and the display is within a wide circle. The display is not detailed.
However, by utilizing this DTMF signal specific location information communication system, it is possible to inform the other party of accurate location information, so that a considerable increase in economic effects such as business is expected.

In addition, it is difficult to specify the location of the calling party due to the function of the exchange, although the emergency call to the police or fire department using a mobile phone is required, but the DTMF signal The location information communication system allows the location of the report to be instantaneously grasped, so that emergency dispatches can be made faster, and early resolution of the case can be expected.

Further, even if an emergency call is received from a foreigner to the police or fire department while internationalization is progressing, if the language is not understood, it takes time to specify the place of the call. This is particularly noticeable when an emergency call is received from a mobile phone or PHS that many foreigners own. Currently, at each prefectural police,
Although foreign language training is offered, training in only some languages, such as English, is not complete. However, this DTMF signal specific location information communication system allows the location of the emergency call to be transmitted not by words but by DTMF signals, so that the call location can be confirmed quickly without being affected by the language of each country. Therefore, immediate resolution of accident crime can be expected.

Conventionally, it is necessary to check a specific position using a map or a GPS receiver. Therefore, when the current position is unknown or a person who cannot speak, especially a deaf person or a person whose speech is indistinct, or an accident, etc. There is a problem that it is not possible to immediately process emergency calls from the police or fire department from people who cannot read the current location or who cannot read the kanji of the place name at the current location, people with large dialects or foreigners. However, since this method can be easily operated by persons with disabilities, it can be kind to people and contribute to welfare.

The dispatch request to the JAF Japan Automobile Federation and the like can be surely notified of the position of the site by using the DTMF signal specific position information communication system.
There are hopes for early elimination of traffic jams and prevention of secondary disasters.

If the party cannot move and report to the police or fire department in the event of an emergency, the current position is automatically determined by the DTMF signal specific location information communication system connecting the car navigation system and the mobile phone in the event of an emergency.
This system allows you to make an emergency call to the fire department so that you can get in touch faster. In particular, early detection processing can be performed even when there are no witnesses, such as in a mountain area or at midnight, and a disastrous result such as (not detected until morning) is not obtained.
