  Hereinafter, in the safety confirmation system of the present embodiment, the flow of group registration and member registration for actual operation and the operation status in an emergency will be described below with reference to FIGS.

  First, when newly registering a group, the administrator accesses the login page for the administrator who has been notified in advance to the administrator of each client from his / her personal computer 7 or his / her mobile phone. In this description, the administrator is a group leader, and the group leader also creates a group. Therefore, an example in which the group leader accesses from his / her mobile phone is shown in FIG. Show.

  In this access, a client login page shown in FIG. 6A is distributed and displayed from the server computer 1 on the administrator's mobile phone, so that the administrator can provide the service provider company to the company in advance. After inputting the client ID and password registered in the client database notified by the user, “Login” is selected and input.

  In this way, based on the client ID and password entered on the client login page, the CPU 22 of the server computer 1 changes the entered client ID and password to the client ID entered in the client database. It is determined whether the password matches the corresponding stored password, and an authentication process is performed. If the password matches, the login is permitted and the new group registration page shown in FIG. 6B is distributed.

  Then, in the distributed new group registration page, the administrator creates a group name to be newly created and an e-mail address of the group leader (in this embodiment, the administrator himself becomes the group leader, so his own e-mail address) After entering, select and enter “Send”.

  In this way, the CPU 22 of the server computer 1 that has received the newly created group name and the group leader's e-mail address on the new group registration page uses the group ID of the received group as the client ID of the client. And the serial number of the group created in the client. Specifically, when the client ID is “ak0001” and the first group created in the client and the serial number is “0001”, “ak00010001” is generated as the group ID.

  Then, the group ID assigned in this way is stored in the group database, the group name received in the new group registration page is stored in association with the group ID, and the main registration dedicated to the group is stored. The URL of the receiving page is generated, and the generated URL is registered (stored) in the corresponding dedicated page URL item. (Note that the URL of the item of the dedicated page URL is updated from the URL of the main registration acceptance page to the URL of the safety input page after the main registration described later) Further, the member ID of the group leader of the group is set to the above The member ID of the group is generated by adding the member number of the group to the assigned group ID, and the generated member ID of the group leader is registered in the G reader ID corresponding to the group ID.

  The member ID registered in the G reader ID item and the group leader's e-mail address received in the new group registration page are stored in association with the member information database, and the corresponding temporary registration data is temporarily stored. “1” indicating registration is stored.

  Based on the completion of registration in the group information database and member information database, the CPU 22 of the server computer 1 includes the URL of the main registration acceptance page and the group name stored in the group information table in FIG. In addition to sending the e-mail shown in d), it is necessary to distribute the acceptance completion page of the new group shown in FIG. 6C and access the page notified in the e-mail sent to the group leader to perform the main registration.

The registration acceptance page shown in FIG. 6 (e) including the URL and the reader ID of the group is distributed. To notify the URL of the reader ID and the safety input page become a member ID of the group leader.

  Then, upon receiving the distribution of the main registration acceptance page, the group leader stores the URL of the safety input page and the reader ID serving as its member ID in the mobile phone 5 and is provided on the safety input page. After the name and password are entered in the respective items of the reader name and password, “Send” is selected and input, thereby delivering the main registration completion page shown in FIG.

  In this way, the name and password of the group leader received on the main registration acceptance page are registered in the name and password in the member information database corresponding to the member ID of the group leader, and the corresponding temporary registration The data is updated from “1” indicating temporary registration to “0” indicating main registration. In this embodiment, the URL of the safety input page is generated by the server computer 1 and notified so as not to become an invalid URL. However, the URL of the notified safety input page is sent to the group leader. However, it may be possible to change the address to a cheaper address and notify the group leader of the validity or invalidity of the changed URL.

  At the stage where these registrations are completed, the CPU 22 of the server computer 1 distributes the main registration completion page shown in FIG. 6 (f) and is dedicated to the leader for the member registration shown in FIG. 7 (a). An e-mail including the page URL and the group ID of the group and an application program for storing the group ID in the mobile phone 5 is transmitted to the e-mail address of the group leader.

  The group leader that has received the e-mail activates an application program attached to the received mail, and the group ID of the group to which the group belongs in the received mail is provided in the mobile phone 5. By storing in the memory 16 (see FIG. 5) serving as the group identification information storage means, as shown in FIG. 7B, the fact that the group ID has been stored as the FM safety reception ID is displayed, The presence or absence of access to the URL of the reader-dedicated page included in the received mail is displayed so as to be selectable.

  In FIG. 7B, the group leader selects “Yes” to access the leader-dedicated page in order to register group members. Then, the leader-dedicated page shown in FIG. 7C is distributed, so that various menu contents provided in the reader-dedicated page can be processed. Select “3 Member Registration” to register each member belonging to the group of which he is the group leader.

  When this “3 member registration” is selected, as shown in FIG. 7D, a member registration page is distributed, and the e-mail address is input together with the name of each member. By inputting “Send” after inputting the member's name and e-mail address, the CPU 22 of the server computer 1 assigns a member ID to each member received on the member registration page, Are registered in G member ID2, G member ID3,... Corresponding to the group ID in the group information table, and the member ID, the member name of the member, and the e-mail address are associated with each other. Register (store) in the member information database and temporarily register the data of each registered member Shown to store a "1".

  Then, an e-mail for encouraging the main registration including the URL of the member information registration page shown in FIG. 8A is transmitted to the e-mail address of each member who has performed the temporary registration.

  When the member who has received the mail accesses the URL of the member information registration page notified by the mail, the member information registration page shown in FIG. 8B is distributed.

By storing the member ID and password, the stored member ID and password are automatically input in an emergency access described later.

  Next, when each member belonging to these groups conducts safety confirmation when an earthquake or the like occurs, two methods are possible. One is a method for receiving and confirming the safety information of the group to which the user belongs, transmitted by FM teletext, which is a feature of the present invention, and the other is dedicated to the group to which the user belongs. This is a method for accessing the safety input page and confirming the safety and message of other members other than yourself, but in the following explanation, the safety of the group to which you belong is transmitted by FM teletext. A case where information is received will be mainly described.

First, when a disaster occurs in this embodiment, the mobile phone 5 selects and receives only the safety information of the group to which the member carrying the mobile phone 5 belongs among the safety information transmitted by the FM teletext. The processing to be performed will be described based on the flowchart shown in FIG.
The mobile phone 5 monitors whether or not FM character broadcast is continuously received during activation, that is, whether or not the FM character broadcast can be received (S1), and when FM character broadcast is received. The process proceeds to S2 and receives the service ID and group ID (which may be plural) provided at the beginning of one transmission unit transmitted from the FM broadcast apparatus 2.

Then, it is determined whether or not the received service ID matches the service ID of the safety information (S3), and any one of the received group IDs (may be plural) is stored in the memory 16. It is determined whether or not it matches the existing group ID (S4).
If the determinations of both S3 and S4 match, the process proceeds to S5, and the safety information data transmitted following the matched service ID and group ID is received and updated and stored in the memory 16 together with the reception time. . At the time of this update storage, the safety information data with the matching group ID includes the safety information of the members of the linked link group in addition to the safety of the members of the group to which the member belongs. The same member ID of each member included in the data is updated and stored, and the safety information of other members whose member IDs do not match is updated and stored as it is, so that the same group and The latest safety information of each member of the ring group is updated and stored in the memory 16. When there is no storage of safety information data that matches the member ID included in the received safety information data, the received member ID and safety information are newly stored.

  In this way, the latest safety information of each member of the same group and ring group transmitted from the FM broadcasting device 2 via the transmission antenna 3 and updated and stored in the memory 16 at the time of the disaster is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, when the emergency key 8 is operated once in a short time, the safety information of each member is read out from the memory 16 and displayed on the display unit 17 of the mobile phone 5 serving as output means of the present invention. As a result, the safety of each member can be confirmed without accessing a special site or making a phone call.

  When it is desired to notify other members of his / her safety, as shown in FIG. 9 (b), data communication is possible by pressing and holding the emergency key 8 for a predetermined time or longer. Then, it is possible to access the safety input page dedicated to the group, and the member ID and password are automatically input.

  If the mobile phone 5 carried by the user is unusable, borrow another person's mobile phone 5 and attach the access adapter 4 carried to access the safety input page dedicated to the group. Alternatively, it may be accessed by inputting a URL from a personal computer connected to the Internet.

  Then, by selecting “ALIVE” or “dead” which is his / her safety information, the entered member ID and password are members belonging to the accessed group and entered in the member information database. Authentication is performed based on whether or not the password corresponding to the member ID matches, and when the password matches the password in the authentication, the safety information corresponding to the member ID is input to the safety information, for example, “ Updated to “ALIVE”. In this embodiment, “ALIVE” or “dead” is selected, but the fact that there is access is regarded as evidence that “ALIVE” is present, and if the information of “dead” is unnecessary, “ALIVE” may be registered in the corresponding safety information at the stage where the authentication by the member ID and the password is confirmed.

  When the safety information is newly updated, the CPU 22 of the server computer 1 is linked to the safety data (member ID and safety content) of each member of the group, the group ID of the group, and the group. By transmitting the safety information including the group ID of the existing link group to the FM broadcast apparatus 2, the transmitted safety information is transmitted from the transmission antenna 3 as FM teletext as described above.

  When the member wants to convey a message to other members or members of other linked groups, after inputting the message in the message accepting item on the page shown in FIG. By selecting and inputting “Send”, the content of the input message is added to the message file specified in the member information database from the member ID of the member, and the message file is updated.

  If the member wants to confirm the safety and message of another member or a member of another group to which the member is linked, in order to confirm the safety and message of the other member at the bottom of the page shown in FIG. By selecting this menu item, the safety of other members of the group to which the member currently belongs and the members of other linked groups are identified based on the registered contents of the group information database and member information database. As shown in FIG. 9 (d), if the member is in a state where the safety input page can be accessed (data communication is possible), the safety input page can be accessed arbitrarily. You can easily check the safety of members.

  Also, if you want to see messages from these other members, such as whereabouts and contact information, you can select and input the “browse” selection input section corresponding to the member, and the message file of the selected member The message content stored in the message is distributed, so that the message from each member is transmitted to the other members.

  In this embodiment, in addition to the other members of the group to which the member belongs, the safety of other group members linked to the member can be confirmed. However, as a group member who can confirm the safety of these members. As shown in FIG. 10, the safety of a member of a group directly linked to the group to which the member belongs can be confirmed, and the safety of a member of a group further linked to the linked group can be confirmed. Can not be confirmed.

  As described above, according to the safety confirmation system of the present embodiment, by using data communication via an open computer network such as the Internet network, access to the safety input page which is an access page uniquely assigned to each group is performed. , The input safety information is multiplied by the FM teletext signal, which is a simultaneous broadcast signal that can be simultaneously received by the mobile phone 5 as an information terminal carried by the user. It is possible to confirm that the safety information of other members other than yourself is transmitted after being adjusted to the radio waves of FM teletext. Compared with the case of checking safety information by accessing, a communication line or the like is not required, so that the time and effort required for safety confirmation can be greatly reduced. Further, even under a congestion situation when a disaster such as a large earthquake occurs, for example, the possibility of connection by data communication by packet communication that is data communication in the mobile phone 5 is more likely than by communication by telephone call. Since the possibility of being able to access and input his / her safety by accessing the access page is increased, the safety information of each member is transmitted from the FM broadcast apparatus 2 which is a broadcast radio wave transmission means. The use of a line for obtaining information can be further reduced, the occurrence of congestion can be further reduced, and a more reliable safety confirmation system can be constructed.

  Further, according to the safety confirmation system of the present embodiment, in the mobile phone 5, the safety information and link group of each member belonging to the group transmitted in association with the group ID which is the group identification information of the group to which the mobile phone 5 belongs. Safety information is selectively received and displayed (output, and other safety information that does not match the group ID is not received, so there is no need to check irrelevant safety information that does not match the group identification information. You can check the safety information of each member well.

  In addition, according to the safety confirmation system of the present embodiment, the member registration leader and each member are automatically sent an email including the URL of the safety input page and the group ID. Each member can save the trouble of notifying the URL or group ID of the safety input page each time, and can greatly reduce the inconvenience caused by the mistake of the URL or group ID of the safety input page. An e-mail including the address of the access page is not sent to a member registered by mistake, but an error mail is generated, so that it is possible to grasp in advance these e-mail addresses.

  In addition, according to the safety confirmation system of the present embodiment, the information indicating the temporary registration is changed from “1” to “0” by the member who has been authenticated based on the member ID as the authentication information notified by the e-mail. By being registered as a regular registration and being registered, it is possible to eliminate registrations using false or other people's e-mail addresses, etc., and members who have accessed are surely notified of the address of the access page Can be confirmed.

  Further, according to the safety confirmation system of the present embodiment, a member belonging to a group can notify his / her safety to other group members linked to the group to which the group belongs, and the other group linked to the group. Member safety information can also be confirmed.

  Further, according to the safety confirmation system of the present embodiment, the safety information of the group including the updated safety information is transmitted to the FM broadcast apparatus 2 based on the updated safety information. The updated safety information is promptly notified to each member (including members of the linked group).

  In addition, according to the safety confirmation system of the present embodiment, it is possible to easily access the access page only by operating the emergency key 8 which is an independent access operation means, and the state of movement at the time of disaster (non-sedation state) ) The possibility of being able to access the safety input page, which is an access page, can be greatly increased even for elderly people and women who are not good at machine operation.

  Further, according to the safety confirmation system of the present embodiment, the access adapter 4 serving as the storage medium is carried in preparation for an emergency, so that, for example, even if the cellular phone 5 carried by the user fails or runs out of battery. By attaching the access adapter 4 as a storage medium to another person's mobile phone 5 or a PDA terminal, etc., the user can access the safety input page as an access page and enter safety information or confirm by receiving safety information. become able to.
