DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an emergency information notification system, an emergency information notification method, an emergency information notification program, and an emergency information service server for notifying a predetermined organization when a user of a mobile terminal falls into an emergency situation. It is about.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, global positioning systems (Globa)
l Positioning System: GPS)
And simplified mobile phone system (Personal Han)
Techniques for measuring the position of a mobile terminal using a Dyphone System (PHS) have been actively studied.
In addition, the provision of services utilizing the terminal location information by these methods has been started. Specifically, advanced emergency information utilizing terminal location information, such as emergency call services for preventing stalking, emergency call services for elderly people who are sick, and mobile tracking services for preventing accidents caused by wandering elderly people A service system is being considered.

One example of a conventional emergency information service system utilizing terminal location information is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-040195.
No., published in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. In this apparatus, when an emergency button is pressed on the PHS terminal, the security center device is notified to confirm the position information and record the surrounding voice.

However, the conventional system as described above has the following problems. That is, in the case of an emergency request, it is necessary to transmit an emergency signal and location information from the mobile terminal side, but since the current location cannot be acquired for some reason, the location information cannot be transmitted, and only the emergency signal is transmitted. There was a case. in this case,
Although it is possible to report that it is urgent, it is not possible to report where the user is. For example, in the case of using a positioning system such as GPS, since the positioning environment is more severe than the reception environment of a mobile phone, the user can perform wireless communication using a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, but cannot perform positioning. As a result, the location information may not be transmitted. More specifically, when an emergency call is to be made in a building, there has been a case in which location information could not be obtained by the positioning system even though wireless communication was possible using a mobile phone or the like.

[0005] On the other hand, even in a state where the position information can be transmitted, even if the user is actually in an emergency, there is a case where no alarm is issued because no emergency signal is issued. For example, there are cases where the user falls into a seizure state and cannot operate the mobile terminal, or when a wandering elderly person unintentionally gets into a transportation means such as a railway. In such a case, it is desired to be notified to the emergency response organization.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an emergency information notification system and an emergency information notification method capable of accurately grasping an emergency state of a user. An emergency information notification program and an emergency information service server.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An emergency information notification system, an emergency information notification method, an emergency information notification program, and an emergency information service server according to a first embodiment of the present invention are shown in FIGS.
Based on FIG. 4, the second embodiment is based on FIGS.
A third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7, and a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[First Embodiment] FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one configuration example of the emergency information notification system of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the emergency information notification system of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of history data stored in the position information storage unit.

In FIG. 1, the emergency information notification system comprises:
It comprises a mobile terminal A, a location information service server B, an emergency information service server C, and an emergency response agency server D. In this emergency information notification system, the emergency response agency server D can be alerted by an emergency signal from the mobile terminal A. The details will be described below.

The mobile terminal A is a portable information communication terminal, and a mobile phone is used in the present embodiment. When the mobile terminal A performs information communication with the location information service server B or the emergency information service server C, the mobile terminal A performs wireless communication to the mobile phone base station E, and the mobile terminal A transmits the location information service server B or the emergency information service server. Connections up to C are made via a public communication network N corresponding to a network. Also,
The emergency information service server C and the emergency response agency server D are also connected to each other by the public communication network N. The location information service server B and the emergency information service server C may be connected to each other via a public communication network N. However, both servers are often installed in the same place, and the public communication network N Is directly connected without passing through the public communication network N, since the exchange of information can be performed at a higher speed than through direct connection.

The mobile terminal A includes a position information transmitting unit 1 and an emergency signal transmitting unit 2. The position information transmitting unit 1 obtains position information of the current position of the mobile terminal A and transmits the position information as position information data S3. Specifically, the global positioning system (Global P)
It is configured with a receiving device of an Positioning System (GPS). The position information transmitting unit 1 obtains position information from the GPS in response to a request from a position information receiving unit 3 of a position information service server B described later, and uses the obtained position information as position information data S3. Send to Further, separately from the request from the position information receiving unit 3, the position information transmitting unit 1 periodically transmits the position information data S5, for example, every 10 minutes, to the position information service server B.
Is transmitted to the position information receiving unit 3. The transmission interval of the position information data S5 of the position information transmission unit 1 may be any interval, but is preferably an interval of 1 minute or more and 30 minutes or less. A more preferred interval is 10 minutes. In the present embodiment, the interval is 10 minutes. If the interval is shorter than 1 minute, the load on the mobile terminal A increases, which is not preferable. If the interval is longer than 30 minutes, even the latest position information data is older than 30 minutes, and is 30 minutes. It is not preferable because it indicates a position earlier. However,
The transmission interval differs depending on the mode of the emergency information service, and is not limited to the above value. In addition,
The time required for acquiring position information by GPS can be set within a few seconds when acquiring position information continuously, but every time when acquiring it occasionally at predetermined intervals such as every 10 minutes. Since it takes time to acquire a GPS satellite, this acquisition takes, for example, about one minute. Also, since a large number of mobile terminals A are connected to this system, each mobile terminal A has an individual identification number in order to identify each mobile terminal A. Then, the individual identification number is used by being embedded in the position information data transmitted to the position information service server B and the emergency signal S1 transmitted to the emergency information service server C.

The emergency signal transmitting section 2 transmits an emergency signal S1 when an emergency button (not shown) provided on the housing of the mobile terminal A is operated. Specifically, the emergency signal transmitting unit 2 transmits the emergency signal S1 to the emergency signal receiving unit 6 of the emergency information service server C described later. The emergency signal S1 is issued in an emergency such as when the user of the mobile terminal A is likely to be caught in a stalking action, or when his / her condition suddenly worsens while moving outdoors.

The location information service server B is a server device connected to the public communication network N as described above, and includes a location information receiving unit 3, a location information output unit 4, and a location information storage unit 5. Have been. The location information service server B
The information communication is performed with the mobile terminal A via the public communication network N, the position information data S3 and S5 are acquired, and the acquired information is output to the emergency information service server C. Note that the location information data acquired from the mobile terminal A and the location information data output to the emergency information service server C may have different data formats or may have the same data format.
If the two data formats are different, the location information service server B may change the data format as appropriate and output.
For example, the location information data S3 transmitted and received between the mobile terminal A and the location information service server B is raw data acquired from the GPS system, and the location information service server B transmits the raw data to the emergency information service server. The data may be converted into a data format that can be easily handled by C or the like.

In response to a request from the position information output unit 4, the position information reception unit 3 requests the position information transmission unit 1 of the mobile terminal A to transmit the position information data S3, and upon receiving the position information data S3, The data is input to the position information output unit 4. The position information receiving unit 3 requests the position information transmitting unit 1 of the mobile terminal A to transmit the position information data S3. However, if the position information data S3 cannot be received from the mobile terminal A, the position information receiving unit 3 stores the position information data S3. The history data S8 stored in the section 5 is input to the position information output section 4. Mobile terminal A
Is not able to receive the position information data S3 from
For example, this is a case where the position information transmitting unit 1 cannot acquire position information from the GPS.

The position information output section 4 obtains position information data S3 from the position information receiving section 3 in response to a request by a position information output request signal S2 from a position information request section 7 of the emergency information service server C described later. The position information data S3 or the history data S8 input from the information receiving unit 3 is output to the position information acquiring unit 8 of the emergency information service server C.

The position information storage section 5 stores and stores the position information data S5 received by the position information receiving section 3 as history data S8. The history data S8 is, specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, a mobile terminal A having a certain individual identification number.
Is a time series of latitudes and longitudes for.
In FIG. 3, regarding the mobile terminal A having the individual identification number “1”,
This indicates that the values of the latitude and longitude are accumulated every 10 minutes from 13:00.

The emergency information service server C is a server device connected to the public communication network N as described above, and includes an emergency signal receiving unit 6, a position information requesting unit 7, a position information obtaining unit 8,
It is configured to include the emergency information transmission unit 9 and is specifically configured by a computer and a program executed by the computer. The emergency information service server C receives the emergency signal S1 from the mobile terminal A, and sends to the emergency response organization server D the emergency information data S4 including the fact that the mobile terminal A is urgent and its current location information data. It is transmitted as.

The emergency signal receiving unit 6 receives the emergency signal S1 transmitted from the emergency signal transmitting unit 2 of the mobile terminal A, and sends the emergency signal S1 to the position information requesting unit 7 and the emergency information transmitting unit 9
And output to

When receiving the emergency signal S1 from the emergency signal receiving unit 6, the location information request unit 7 sends a location information output request signal S2 requesting the location information output unit 4 of the location information service server B to output location information data. Output.

When the position information acquisition unit 8 receives the position information data S3 or the history data S8 from the position information output unit 4 of the position information service server B, the position information acquisition unit 8 sends the position information data S3 or the history data S8 to the emergency information transmission unit 9. Output.

The emergency information transmitting unit 9 receives the emergency signal S1 from the emergency signal receiving unit 6, receives the position information data S3 from the position information acquiring unit 8, and receives the position information together with the individual identification number embedded in the emergency signal S1. Emergency information data S4 is generated by including the data S3 as current position information data, and the emergency information data S4 is transmitted to the emergency response agency server D via the public communication network N. The emergency information transmitting unit 9 receives the emergency signal S1 from the emergency signal receiving unit 6,
When the history data S8 is received from the position information acquisition unit 8, the latest position information data last received by the position information service server B in the history data S8 is included in the current position information together with the individual identification number embedded in the emergency signal S1. Emergency information data S4 is generated as data, and the emergency information data S4 is transmitted to the emergency response agency server D via the public communication network N.

The emergency information transmitting section 9 transmits the emergency information data S4 to the emergency response organization server D, and sends the emergency information data S4 to the report destination 16 corresponding to the mobile terminal user registered in the report destination database 15. Also, emergency information data S4 is transmitted. The report destination database 15 records a list of report destinations 16 corresponding to the individual identification number of the mobile terminal A. The report destination list includes the FAX number of the organization related to the user of the mobile terminal, Various communication means, such as a telephone number and a mail address of a person close to him, are described. The report destination list is registered in advance, for example, when a user subscribes to the service of the emergency information notification system. Then, the emergency information transmitting unit 9 transmits the emergency information data S4 by appropriately selecting a voice notification, a FAX notification, a character information notification by e-mail, or the like according to the data format of the report destination.

The emergency response agency server D is separate from the location information service server B and the emergency information service server C. The location information service server B and the emergency information service server C are installed in a service providing company or the like that provides an emergency information service, whereas the emergency response agency server D is a security company, a police agency, a hospital, or the like. And other emergency response agencies.

The emergency response agency server D has an emergency information receiving unit 10, which receives the emergency information data S 4 from the emergency information transmitting unit 9 of the emergency information service server C. It is to alert. Specifically, the emergency information receiving unit 10 transmits the emergency information data S4
Is received, the content is analyzed, the user of the mobile terminal A is specified from the individual identification number, and the location of the mobile terminal A is specified from the current position information data. Then, the emergency information receiving unit 1
Reference numeral 0 performs an alerting operation such as displaying the user's name and location on a monitor (not shown), outputting a voice from a speaker (not shown), or outputting a paper from a printing device (not shown).

Next, the operation of the emergency information notification system configured as described above from the time when the mobile terminal A transmits the emergency signal S1 to the time when the emergency response agency server issues an alarm will be described with reference to FIG. explain.

First, when the user falls into an emergency,
When the user operates an emergency button (not shown), the emergency signal transmitting unit 2 of the mobile terminal A transmits the emergency signal S1 to the emergency signal receiving unit 6 of the emergency information service server C via the wireless communication and the public communication network N. It transmits (step S101). The emergency signal receiving unit 6 outputs the emergency signal S1 to the position information requesting unit 7, and the position information requesting unit 7 receives this and outputs a position information output request signal S2 to the position information output unit 4 of the position information server 4. (Step S102). The position information output unit 4
When the position information data S3 can be received from the mobile terminal A via the position information receiving unit 3, the position information data S3 is output to the position information acquisition unit 8 (step S10).
3, S104). On the other hand, although the position information receiving unit 3 has requested the position information transmitting unit 1 of the mobile terminal A to transmit the position information data S3, since the mobile terminal A cannot acquire the position information, the position information receiving unit 3 cannot receive the position information data S3. If not,
The history data S8 stored in the position information storage unit 5 is input to the position information output unit 4. The position information output unit 4 outputs the history data S8 to the position information acquisition unit 8 (Step S
103, S105). Thereby, the position information acquiring unit 8 acquires the position information data S3 or the history data S8 and inputs the acquired position information data S3 or history data S8 to the emergency information transmitting unit 9. Then, the emergency information transmitting unit 9
When the position information data S3 is received, the emergency signal S
1 and the emergency information data S4 including the position information data S3 as the current position information data together with the individual identification number of the mobile terminal A embedded in step S10.
6), and sends it to the emergency response agency server D (step S)
107). On the other hand, upon receiving the history data S8 from the position information obtaining unit 8, the emergency information transmitting unit 9 receives the individual identification number embedded in the emergency signal S1 and the last position information service server B in the history data S8. Emergency information data S4 is generated by including the latest position information data as current position information data (step S108), and the emergency information data S4 is transmitted to the emergency response agency server D via the public communication network N (step S107). ).

When the emergency information receiving unit 10 of the emergency response agency server D receives the emergency information data S4 (step S109), it analyzes the contents and identifies the user of the mobile terminal A from the individual identification number. Then, the location of the mobile terminal A is specified from the position information data. Then, the emergency information receiving unit 1
0 performs an alerting operation such as displaying the user's name, location, and the like on a monitor (not shown), outputting sound from a speaker (not shown), or outputting paper from a printing device (not shown) (step S110). .

In the emergency information notification system configured as described above, the position information data S
Even if the transmission of the emergency signal S1 is not possible, the last received position information data is extracted from the history data S8 and the emergency information data is generated as the current position information data. When a request is made, an approximate guide position can be reported to the emergency information agency based on the latest position information data, thereby enabling prompt response.

In this system, only the emergency response agency server D can be installed as a separate server in the emergency response agency without installing other equipment in the emergency response agency. Therefore, the cost burden on the emergency response agency system can be reduced. This facilitates participation in the emergency information notification system during various emergency response periods, and can contribute to the spread of the emergency information notification system itself. In particular, the location information data S3 transmitted and received between the mobile terminal A and the location information service server B is raw data obtained from the GPS system, and the raw data is converted into a data format that can be easily handled by the location information service server B. In such a case, since the location information service server B becomes complicated, it is effective to further separate the emergency response agency server D only.

Although the network is the public communication network N, it goes without saying that the network may be a closed communication network connected by a dedicated line.

Although the description has been made assuming that the emergency information transmitting unit 9 in the emergency information service server C extracts the last received position information data from the history data, the extraction may be performed at any stage. For example, the information may be extracted when history data is transferred from the location information service server B to the emergency information service server C.

[Second Embodiment] FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing one configuration example of the emergency information notification system of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the operation of the emergency information notification system of the present invention. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of the current position information data when the current position is predicted from the history data shown in FIG. In FIGS. 4 and 5, the same reference numerals are given to the same parts as those of the emergency information notification system and the method thereof described in the first embodiment, so that the detailed description of the same parts is omitted. Description is omitted.

The emergency information notification system and its method of the present embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 are different from the emergency information notification system and its method described in the first embodiment, and are characteristic. Has the following configuration.

That is, the emergency information transmitting section 9a receives the emergency signal S1 from the emergency signal receiving section 6,
, The current position of the mobile terminal A that transmitted the emergency signal S1 is predicted from the history of the change in the position information data in the history data S8, and the predicted position is regarded as the current position information data. The configuration is such that it is included in the data S4 and transmitted to the emergency response agency server D.

More specifically, when the history data S8 as shown in FIG. 3 described in the first embodiment is input to the emergency information transmitting unit 9a, the emergency information transmitting unit 9a sets the position in the history data S8. The current position of the mobile terminal A is predicted by calculating the tendency from the change history of the information data. This prediction is performed, for example, by approximating an equation of a curve connecting past passing points and predicting that the next position is on the curve, or by applying a map of the corresponding area to the movement route of the mobile terminal A, and Although it is possible to predict the next position in the traveling direction along, it is not limited to this example, and various prediction methods can be applied. In the case of the history data S8 shown in FIG. 3, the mobile terminal A having the individual identification number "1" has a constant latitude of 35.500 degrees from 13:00 to 13:30 when the last position information data S5 was transmitted. And the longitude is 13
Since it increases from 5.7500 degrees in increments of 0.0010 degrees, the next 10 minutes later at 13:40, latitude 35.50
It is expected to be 00 degrees and longitude 135.7540 degrees. Therefore, assuming that the emergency signal 1 is transmitted at 13:40, the emergency information transmitting unit 9a predicts the latitude 35.5000 degrees and the longitude 13.5.7540 degrees as the current position at 13:40 as shown in FIG. Then, the position is included in the emergency information data S4 as the current position information data.

The operation of the emergency information notification system configured as described above from the time when the transmission of the mobile terminal A is interrupted until the alarm is issued is performed after the location information service server B outputs the history data S8 (step S105). The emergency information transmitting unit 9a of the emergency information service server C
8, the trend is calculated from the change history of the position information data in 8 to predict the current position of the mobile terminal A (step S111).

Therefore, in the emergency information notification system, the position of the mobile terminal predicted from the past action history can be known, and the dispatcher of the emergency response organization searches for a vicinity of the predicted position. As a result, even if the current position information cannot be obtained, the user of the mobile terminal can be quickly found and responded to.

[Third Embodiment] FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of the emergency information notification system of the present invention. In FIG. 7, the same parts as those of the emergency information notification system and the method thereof described in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the detailed description of the same parts is omitted. I do.

The emergency information notification system and its method of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 7 are different from the emergency information notification system and its method described in the first embodiment described above in that they have the following features. It is a structure of.

That is, the emergency response organization server D calculates the required time from the emergency response organization to the position based on the current position information data in the emergency information data S4, and obtains the required time data S9 as the emergency information service server C. The emergency information transmitting unit 9b.
Predicts the position of the mobile terminal A after the required time from the required time data S9 and the history data S8, and includes the post-required time position information data S10 in the emergency information data S4 and transmits it to the emergency response agency server D. The configuration is as follows.

More specifically, the emergency information transmitting unit 9b
Emergency information data S4 is transmitted to the emergency response organization server D including the position information data S3 received last from the history data S8 as current position information data. In the emergency response agency server D, the required time information transmission unit 11 adds the distance between the location of the mobile terminal A and the location of the emergency response agency based on the current location information data in the emergency information data S4, taking the travel route into account. In consideration of the moving speed of the dispatcher, the time required for the dispatcher to reach the location of the mobile terminal A is calculated. Then, the required time information transmitting unit 11
Transmits the required time to the emergency information transmitting unit 9b as required time data S9. Upon receiving the required time data S9, the emergency information transmitting unit 9b refers to the history data S8 of the mobile terminal A and predicts the position of the mobile terminal A after the required time. The position of the mobile terminal A can be predicted by, for example, the method described in the second embodiment. Then, the emergency information transmitting unit 9b compares the predicted position with the position information data S after the required time.
As 10, it is included in the emergency information data S 4 and transmitted to the emergency response agency server D.

In the emergency information notification system configured as described above, the position of the mobile terminal A is reported to the emergency response organization in consideration of the time required for the response by the emergency response organization. The dispatcher of the emergency response organization can find the user of the mobile terminal A more quickly. In particular, when it takes a certain amount of time for the emergency response organization to respond, there is a further advantage since it is assumed that the user of the mobile terminal A will move from the location reported.

[Fourth Embodiment] FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing one configuration example of the emergency information notification system of the present invention. 9 and 10 are explanatory diagrams illustrating an example of history data stored in the position information storage unit. In FIG. 8, the same parts as those in the emergency information notification system and the method thereof described in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the detailed description of the same parts is omitted. I do.

The emergency information notification system and its method of this embodiment shown in FIG. 8 are different from the emergency information notification system and its method described in the first embodiment described above in that they have the following features. It is a structure of.

That is, the mobile terminal monitoring unit 12 monitors the history data and outputs an emergency signal S1 when the mobile terminal A has not moved for a predetermined time or more, or when the mobile terminal A has moved at a certain speed or more. Is provided in the emergency information service server C, and the emergency information transmitting unit 9c is configured to transmit the emergency information data S4 for the mobile terminal A when the mobile terminal monitoring unit 12 outputs the emergency signal S1.

More specifically, the mobile terminal monitoring unit 12 monitors the history data S8 at regular intervals via the position information obtaining unit 8 and the position information output unit 4. The monitoring interval is substantially the same as the interval at which the mobile terminal A transmits the position information data S5. Then, the mobile terminal monitoring unit 12 outputs the emergency signal S1 to the emergency signal receiving unit 6 when the mobile terminal A has not moved for a certain time or more or when the mobile terminal A has moved at a certain speed or more. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the latitude is set to 0.01 every 10 minutes as the history data S8.
There are cases where it changes by 0 degrees and cases where the latitude does not change at all even after 30 minutes. Here, the mobile terminal monitoring unit 12
The purpose of monitoring "when the mobile terminal A has not moved for a certain period of time" is to detect a case where the user of the mobile terminal A cannot move due to a seizure or the like. Is monitored to detect a case where a wandering elderly person or the like accidentally gets on a high-speed moving means such as a railway.

In the emergency information notification system configured as described above, by utilizing the history data S8, even if there is no urgent request by the user of the mobile terminal A, the emergency state of the user can be changed. It can be issued to the public.

It is also conceivable that the user stops at the will of the user or uses a means of transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to notify the mobile terminal A once without notifying the emergency response organization immediately. It may be. In this case, it is not only possible to reduce the loss of the response of the emergency response organization due to false alarms, but also to confirm the safety of the user even if the user is actually in an emergency situation, which is preferable. is there. The communication means may be, for example, a text message by data communication or a voice call.
