Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

<B> Disaster / Disaster Prevention Information Providing System The disaster / disaster prevention information providing system 1 notifies a disaster prevention information notification destination of disaster / disaster prevention information at a disaster prevention judgment point when a disaster occurs. As shown in FIG. 1, for example, a disaster / disaster prevention information providing system 1 includes a large number of information boxes 11 for storing disaster prevention determination point information and disaster prevention information notification destination information, and a communication device that communicates with a communication device 4 of the disaster prevention information notification destination. 13, a device necessary for operating the disaster / disaster prevention information providing system 1 and a storage device 12 for storing a database and a program.

FIG. 2 shows a disaster / disaster prevention information providing system 1
As shown in FIG. 1, a content bank 14 is provided for storing information on disasters and disaster prevention as necessary, as well as contents. The content bank 14 is stored in the storage device 12 and has items such as location information, genre, store name, contact information, business contents, comments, URL, management number, and the like, and mainly from news and town information to supermarket sale information. , Local detailed information necessary for daily life, business, business trips, etc. For example, local residents need information such as news in the prefecture, living information such as shopping and eating and drinking, weather information, parking lot availability information, real-time information such as traffic information, special events and events performed by companies and shops, or administrative information. It has information necessary for local residents such as information and public information such as emergency hospitals. Information on disasters and disaster prevention can be treated as one type of content.

[0008] Information providers of disaster and disaster prevention information, for example, disaster prevention centers of the national and local governments, collect and determine disaster information for disasters such as earthquakes and floods, and make evacuation recommendations, disaster situations, and evacuation guidance. Create disaster / disaster prevention information including disaster / disaster prevention information and transmit it to the disaster / disaster prevention information providing system.

The disaster / disaster prevention information providing system provides disaster / disaster prevention information in an emergency, but functions as an information providing system for providing general information to communication devices connected to the system in normal times. General information can include any information that can be transmitted and received via communication such as the Internet.

<B> Disaster Prevention Determination Point The disaster prevention determination point is a place where one wants to know disaster / disaster prevention information when a disaster occurs, such as a home or a workplace. The disaster prevention determination point information is information indicating the position of the disaster prevention determination point, and for example, latitude and longitude information (GPS code) can be used. In addition, the disaster prevention determination point information includes information attached to the position such as the name, address, contact information, and emergency contact information of a home or a workplace as needed.

<C> Disaster Prevention Information Notification Destination The disaster prevention information notification destination is to notify disaster / disaster prevention information at a disaster prevention determination point when a disaster occurs. For example, the communication device 4 arranged at the disaster prevention determination point There are a communication device 4 placed at a registered contact, a mobile communication device 4 such as a mobile phone, and the like. The disaster prevention information notification destination information is information that enables the disaster prevention information providing system to notify the disaster prevention information notification destination of disaster / disaster prevention information. The disaster prevention information notification destination information includes communication device address information (identification ID), device type, and communication network type. is there.

<D> Communication Network The communication network 3 is an information transmitting means that is set up from the disaster / disaster prevention information providing system 1 to the disaster prevention information notification destination, and includes, for example, a wired telephone line network, a mobile telephone network, and a packet. Switching network, satellite communication network, data broadcasting network, cable television (CA
TV) networks, wireless networks, and power line networks of power companies. The disaster / disaster prevention information providing system 1 uses these communication networks 3 to notify the communication device of the disaster prevention information notification destination of the disaster / disaster prevention information.

It is to be noted that the line between the disaster / disaster prevention information providing system 1 and the communication device 4 is set to have, for example, half the transmission amount in normal times in an emergency. For example, in the case of circuit switching, while one line is normally used for 1000 circuit switching,
In an emergency, two circuits are switched for 500 lines so that normal communication and emergency communication are shared.

<E> Communication Device The communication device 4 has a communication function corresponding to the disaster prevention information notification destination and capable of communicating with the disaster / disaster prevention information providing system 1 via the communication network 3. For example, a personal computer or a mobile phone including the alarm device 41, the display device 42, and the storage device 43 can be used. The communication device 4 may include a battery in preparation for a power outage, or may operate with power supplied from the communication network 3. The communication device 4 is set to be connected to a specific communication network depending on its type. When the communication device 4 is connected to a telephone line network or a mobile phone network, a fixed telephone or a mobile phone having a communication function can be used. In the case of a cable television network or a data broadcasting network, a television receiver having a communication function can be used. In the case of a wireless network, a wireless device with a communication function can be used, in the case of a power line network, a power meter with a communication function can be used, and in the case of a satellite communication network, satellite radio waves with a communication function can be received. Machine can be used.

The communication device 4 can receive information from an information provider such as a store even in normal times. For example, the information providing system, at the request of the information provider, for example,
A customer's communication device can be searched for around a predetermined point, within several meters or within a few minutes on foot, and product information can be sent to the communication device. Also in this case, the search is performed using the disaster prevention determination point information of the communication device and the map information.

<F> Information Box The information box 11 is a storage area for storing information of users such as individuals and companies in the information providing system. For example, the information box 11 is collectively provided in a database, or is provided for each user. It can be provided individually or both. The information box stores disaster prevention determination point information and disaster prevention information notification destination information, and has an area for storing disaster / disaster prevention information and an area for storing general information such as comments. As shown in FIG. 3, for example, each information box 11 has latitude and longitude information (GPS code) indicating a position as disaster prevention determination point information.
And, if necessary, store home and work information such as name, address, contact information, and emergency contact information. In addition, address information (identification ID) of the communication device as the disaster prevention information notification destination information,
The model, the type of communication network, and the like are stored. Also, disaster / disaster prevention information and general information to be sent to the disaster prevention information notification destination are stored. In each information box, a plurality of disaster prevention determination points such as addresses of individuals and companies, and addresses of desired points can be registered as latitude and longitude information as needed. Thereby, disaster information at a plurality of locations can be stored.

In each information box, a plurality of communication devices 4 such as a communication device 4 placed at home and a work place and a mobile phone which is moving can be registered as disaster prevention information notification destinations. In the event of a disaster, the registered communication device 4 can be notified of disaster / disaster prevention information at the disaster prevention determination point. In addition, the information box 11 can be accessed from the communication device 4 registered as the disaster prevention notification destination via the communication network 3, and the stored information can be browsed and written. For example, when a disaster occurs near the home, the user can access his / her own information box 11 with the communication device 4 such as a mobile phone even from a place away from the home to know the disaster / disaster prevention information at home. There are various access methods, and for example, it can be identified by the URL of the information providing system and the number corresponding to the information box.

The information boxes 11 may be concentrated at one place or several places, or may be distributed nationwide. For example, a telephone station in an area corresponding to each disaster prevention information notification destination described in the information box 11 or an area having the same station number is arranged. When a plurality of disaster prevention information notification destinations are described in the information box and belong to different regions, they may be arranged in each region. However,
The contents described in the same information box 11 need to be consistent. With this arrangement, congestion of the line can be avoided even if the information box 11 is accessed all at once during a disaster.

The information box 11 can be used as an area for storing information necessary for a registrant not only in an emergency such as a disaster but also in a normal time. In this case, the disaster / disaster prevention information providing system 1 is used as an information providing system that handles general information. When the registrant registers in advance in the information providing system such that desired registration information is collected in the information box 11, the information providing system collects the registration information and stores it in the registrant's information box 11. .

For example, when a registrant registers desired sale information within a predetermined point or address, within a few kilometers, or within a few tens of minutes, the information providing system places the discount information in the registrant's information box. Remember. For this purpose, an advertisement provider such as a store also becomes a registrant, and provides product information of the advertisement provider to the information providing system. The information providing system has an information providing storage area for each advertisement provider,
Each advertisement provider records the product information in its own information provision storage area using the communication device. Conversely, the advertisement provider can send the product information to the customer information box around a predetermined point, within several kilometers, or within several tens of minutes on foot.
Also in this case, it is possible to obtain an address that is within a few kilometers or within a few tens of minutes from the disaster prevention determination point information and the map information in the information box.

Further, the registrant of the information box can store necessary information in the information box by the communication device. For example, when a business trip to a local area or a city is made, necessary information such as a timetable of the business trip, a map of the visited place, and information of interest is collected in advance via the Internet or the like and stored in its own information box. The user can open the information box on a communication device at a business trip and easily browse necessary information. The information providing system is provided with a web page for information collection and a database of general information as necessary so that the registrant can easily collect information.

Hereinafter, a method of providing disaster / disaster prevention information by the disaster / disaster prevention information providing system will be described.

<A> Disaster Occurrence When a disaster occurs, a disaster prevention center such as a national government or a local public agency collects disaster information and prepares a disaster / disaster prevention measure.
Then, necessary information for citizens is disclosed as disaster / disaster prevention information. The disaster / disaster prevention information providing system receives the disaster / disaster prevention information or inputs the information using an input unit. The disaster / disaster prevention information includes, for each region, disaster information such as a disaster situation and disaster prevention information such as evacuation advice and evacuation guidance.

<B> Identification of Disaster / Disaster Prevention Information at the Disaster Prevention Determination Point When the disaster / disaster prevention information providing system receives the disaster / disaster prevention information, it searches the information box 11 as shown in FIG. The GPS code is used to determine where the determination point is located in the danger area, the standby area, or the safe area (S1). Next, disaster / disaster prevention information corresponding to the disaster prevention determination point is transmitted to the information box (S2). Next, disaster / disaster prevention information is notified to the disaster prevention information notification destination (S3).

For example, as shown in FIG. 1, fires occur in two places due to the earthquake, and areas are classified according to the degree of safety. For example, there is a danger area 51 surrounded by a dashed line where the fire occurrence point 5 is near and residents need to evacuate immediately, a standby area 52 surrounded by a dashed line and a dash-dot line where there is a danger of fire spread, and a danger area of fire danger. The non-existing area is divided into the safety area 53 outside the dashed line. These areas can be specified in a simple manner, for example, by specifying the area on the screen, that is, by automatically specifying the range by the system, or by tracing the range of the danger area or the standby area with the cursor. Is specified, and the latitude / longitude information included therein is specified. The specified latitude / longitude information is compared with whether or not the disaster prevention determination point (latitude / longitude information) of each information box 11 falls within the range, and it is checked which area is divided, and the disaster / disaster prevention information corresponding to the division is determined. Is stored in each information box 11. When a plurality of disaster prevention determination points are registered in the information box 11, disaster / disaster prevention information is recorded for each point. The disaster / disaster prevention information stored in the information box 11 may be a symbol corresponding to the disaster / disaster prevention information in order to save the storage area since the content may be specified.

In FIG. 2, for example, when the disaster / disaster prevention information is transmitted to the information box, the disaster prevention center sends the position information and the information with “disaster / disaster prevention information” to the content bank. The comment is distributed to the information box of the corresponding location information. If the communication device of the terminal is not turned on or communication is not possible, it is recorded in the storage area of the corresponding information box. Switch on the communication device while the terminal can communicate,
By pressing the button for viewing disaster prevention information, disaster prevention information can be viewed from the registered information box.

<C> Notification of Disaster / Disaster Prevention Information to Disaster Prevention Information Notification Destination In the event of a disaster, the disaster / disaster prevention information stored in the information box 11 is transmitted to the communication network 3 by the communication device 13 of the information providing system 1.
Is notified to the communication device 4 to which the disaster prevention information is to be notified.
When a plurality of communication devices 4 are registered, each communication device 4 is notified. This notification can be repeated. When the disaster / disaster prevention information is notified to the communication device 4, for example, the alarm device 43 of the communication device 4 arranged at home or workplace notifies the danger, and the display device 41 such as a CRT displays the disaster information, evacuation advisory information, and evacuation information. Information such as a map of the place and an evacuation guidance method is displayed. In addition, disaster / disaster prevention information is transmitted to the mobile phone of the communication device 4 by voice, image, text information such as a homepage or an e-mail. In addition, when there are a large number of communication devices to be communicated via the communication network 3 by the information providing system 1 and the line is congested and confused, communication can be performed according to the line congestion state such as shifting the time. Also,
At the time of notification of disaster / disaster prevention information, if the communication device 4 cannot be received in the off state, the communication device sends the information box 11
To access disaster and disaster prevention information.

As described above, the area is divided according to the danger state, the classification of the disaster prevention judgment point registered in the information box is specified by latitude and longitude information, and the disaster / disaster prevention information is stored in the corresponding information box. In addition, since the disaster prevention information can be provided to the communication device of the disaster prevention information notification destination, accurate information can be promptly notified to the residents, and confusion at the time of disaster can be prevented. Since information is unified in this manner, residents are not confused and unnecessary telephones and e-mails are not used, and confusion in the communication network due to excessive use of lines can be prevented. Further, the user can access his / her own information box from the communication device 4 and easily browse disaster / disaster prevention information. Also, by dividing the area where the information box is placed, and placing the information box in the area near the disaster prevention information notification destination,
Since the communication device 4 accesses the nearby information box 11, the use of the line can be reduced.
