Furthermore, after an earthquake occurs, the user is requested to report safety information by e-mail or the like, and the location of the user is periodically acquired at regular time intervals (eg, every 1 to 5 minutes). The returned safety information is made into a database to respond to safety inquiries, etc., and those who seek rescue with safety information and those who do not return safety information and do not move their location within a certain period of time 300 is requested to rescue based on the location information.

  Next, the operation of the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart for operating the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention. Such a flowchart will be described assuming that it mainly operates on the safety information confirmation main system 121. Moreover, the flowchart demonstrated below is an example of the flowchart for implementing this invention, and is not the only thing. Each of the following flowcharts can be variously modified without departing from the gist of the present invention.

  In step S100, when the safety information confirmation system is activated, it is determined in step S101 whether or not there is a user newly registered and used in the safety information confirmation system. If the determination in step S101 is yes, the process proceeds to step S104 to perform a new user registration process. If the determination in step S101 is no, the process proceeds to step S102.

  In step S102, it is determined whether or not an emergency earthquake bulletin has been received from the emergency earthquake bulletin transmission center 200. If the determination in step S102 is no, the process returns to step S101. If the earthquake early warning is received from the emergency earthquake early warning transmission center 200 and the determination in step S102 is YES, the process proceeds to step S103, and the safety information confirmation system earthquake occurrence process is activated. In step S105, the process of the safety information confirmation system is terminated.

  Next, the safety information confirmation system database 126 used by the safety information confirmation main system 121 for user management will be described in relation to step S104. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a data configuration of a safety information confirmation system database managed by the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a user interface screen for new user registration in the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the safety information confirmation system database 126 includes “ID”, “user name”, “password”, “email address”, “registrant 1”, “registrant 2” of each user,. , “Registrant N”, “position information (X _n , Y _n )”, “position information (X _{n −1} , Y _{n −1} )”, “R flag”, “D flag”, “I flag”, The “S flag” data is stored. Here, “user” means a person who is directly registered in the safety information confirmation system itself, and “registrant” is registered in the safety information confirmation system so that the user can transmit his / her safety information. Refers to the person. “Position information (X _n , Y _n )” indicates the latest position information of the user, and “Position information (X _{n −1} , Y _{n −1} )” indicates position information immediately before the latest position information. ing. Each flag will be described later.

  In order to register in the safety information confirmation system, the user transmits a user name, a password, his / her e-mail address and safety e-mail through the interface screen as shown in FIG. 4, for example, using the mobile phone (or PHS phone) 101. Enter the email address of the registrant you want. The information registered in the safety information confirmation system in this way is stored in the format of the safety information confirmation system database 126 of FIG.

  Next, the above-described safety information confirmation system earthquake processing will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart for operating the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention. The flowchart of FIG. 5 is a more detailed routine of step S103. In FIG. 5, when the earthquake occurrence process of the safety information confirmation system in step S200 is started, a network resource selection process is performed in step S201.

Specifically, such selection processing involves transferring or stopping resources such as the service A resource 122 and the service B resource 123 that are not related to the safety information confirmation system to the safety information confirmation system. . Further, as other selection processing, the priority of the safety information confirmation system resource 124 is raised, the emergency internal network resource 125 is started, the communication path is secured by starting the emergency external network resource 128, For example, the priority of communication for the safety confirmation information system of the external network resource 129 for normal use is raised and the priority of unnecessary communication is lowered.
By selecting these network resources, the safety information confirmation system can prevent a trouble that the communication system is congested after an earthquake and the safety information cannot be confirmed.

  If it progresses to step S202 following step S201, the routine of earthquake occurrence pre-processing will be performed. In step S203, the process at the time of occurrence of an earthquake is terminated.

  Next, the pre-earthquake occurrence pretreatment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart for operating the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention. The flowchart of FIG. 6 is a more detailed routine of step S202.

  In FIG. 6, when the pre-earthquake process of the safety information confirmation system in step S300 is started, a pre-earthquake position information acquisition process routine is executed in step S301. This routine is for grasping the position information of each user before the earthquake occurs. The specific processing flow of this routine will be described later.

  Next, in step S302, it is determined whether an earthquake has actually occurred. Information from the earthquake early warning transmission center 200 can be used for such determination. If the determination in S302 is YES, the process proceeds to step S303, and an earthquake occurrence post-processing routine is executed. If the determination in S302 is NO, the process proceeds to step S304, and the pre-earthquake process is terminated.

  Next, the pre-earthquake position information acquisition processing routine in step S301 and the post-earthquake processing routine in step 303 will be described. 7 and 8 are diagrams showing an example of a flowchart for operating the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 7, when the pre-earthquake location information acquisition processing routine is started in step S400, the process proceeds to step S401, and 1 is set in the ID. Subsequently, the position information of the user whose ID is 1 is acquired, and the acquired position information is stored in the safety information confirmation system database 126. In step S403, it is determined whether or not acquisition of position information has been completed for all IDs.

  If the determination in step S403 is no, the process proceeds to step S404 and the ID is incremented by one. If the determination in step S403 is yes, the process proceeds to step S405, and the pre-earthquake location information acquisition routine is terminated.

  Next, the post-earthquake processing routine will be described with reference to FIG. When the post-earthquake processing routine is started in step S500, a safety confirmation mail transmission processing routine is executed in step S501. Next, the process proceeds to step S502, where a post-earthquake location information acquisition processing routine is executed in step S502. Next, the process proceeds to step S503, and a safety confirmation processing routine is executed in step S503. Proceeding to step S504, the post-earthquake processing routine is terminated.

  Next, safety confirmation mail transmission processing, post-earthquake location information acquisition processing, and safety confirmation processing routines that appear in the post-earthquake processing routine of FIG. 8 will be described.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart (safety confirmation mail transmission process) for operating the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 9, when the safety confirmation mail transmission process is started in step S600, a standard safety inquiry mail is created in step S601 according to the earthquake occurrence region or the like. FIG. 10 shows an example of such a regular safety inquiry mail. As shown in FIG. 10, this standard mail prompts the user to express his / her situation with a number (reply code) from 0 to 3 or to comment on his / her situation. It has become.

  Next, in step S601, 1 is set in the ID, and the standard mail created for the ID is transmitted in step S603. In step S604, it is determined whether email transmission has been completed for all IDs. If the determination result is NO, the process proceeds to step S605, 1 is added to ID, and the process returns to step S603. If the decision result in the step S604 is YES, the process advances to a step S606 to end the safety confirmation mail transmission process.

FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart (position information acquisition processing after earthquake occurrence) for operating the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention. When the post-earthquake location information acquisition processing routine is started in step S700, 1 is set in the ID in step S701. Subsequently, in step S702, position information after the occurrence of the earthquake is obtained from each user's mobile phone (or PHS phone) 101. Here, the acquired position information is registered and stored in the safety information confirmation system database 126 as position information (X ₁ , Y ₁ ) in step S703. In step S704, it is determined whether or not the position information acquisition processing has been completed for all IDs. If the determination result in step S704 is NO, the process proceeds to step S705, the ID is incremented by 1, and the process proceeds to step S702. If the determination result in step S704 is YES, the process proceeds to step S706, and the post-earthquake location information acquisition process is terminated.

  Next, a safety confirmation processing routine will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart (safety confirmation processing) for operating the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention. When the safety confirmation processing routine is started in step S800, first, in step S801, all the flags “R flag”, “D flag”, “I flag”, and “S flag” of all IDs are set to 0. . Here, these flags take a value of 0 or 1, and when a flag with a certain ID takes a value of 1, the safety information confirmation system has performed some kind of response to the user with the ID. Is shown. The meaning of each flag will be described later.

In step S802, ID is set to 1. Subsequently, in step S803, it is determined whether or not there is a reply mail from the user with the ID. If the decision result in the step S803 is YES, a reply mail receiving process subroutine of a step S807 is executed. If the determination result in step S803 is NO, the process proceeds to step S804. In step S804, it is determined whether there is a difference between (X ₁ , Y ₁ ) and (X ₀ , Y ₀ ).

  If the determination result of step S804 is YES, a difference detection processing subroutine of step S808 is executed. If the result of the determination in step S804 is NO, the process proceeds to step S805, and a safety reconfirmation processing routine is executed in step S805. In step S806, it is determined whether or not the processing has been completed for all the IDs. If the determination is NO, the process proceeds to step S809. After the ID is incremented by 1, the process proceeds to step S803. If the decision result in the step S806 is YES, the process proceeds to a step S810 to end the safety confirmation process.

  Next, the reply mail reception processing subroutine in step S807 will be described. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a flowchart (reply mail reception processing subroutine) for operating the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  When the reply mail reception processing subroutine is started in step S900, the process proceeds to step S901, and the flag of the ID currently handled is set to 1. This indicates that a user with an ID whose R flag is set to 1 has returned a safety inquiry mail transmitted from the safety information confirmation system.

  In the safety inquiry mail (FIG. 10), the user is prompted to indicate his / her state by a reply code. In the following steps S902 to S905, this reply code is determined. In step S902, it is determined whether or not the reply code is 0. If the determination in step S902 is NO, the process proceeds to step S903, and if YES, the process proceeds to step S906. In step S906, a safety information mail corresponding to the reply code 0 is automatically generated, and if there is a user comment, it is added to the mail. In step S907, the mail created in step S906 is transmitted to each registrant.

  In step S903, it is determined whether or not the reply code is 1. If the determination in step S903 is no, the process proceeds to step S904, and if yes, the process proceeds to step S908. In step S908, a safety information mail corresponding to the reply code 1 is automatically generated, and if there is a user comment, it is added to the mail. In step S909, the mail created in step S908 is transmitted to each registrant.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of a mail whose reply code is 1. In this way, the user replies by describing his / her disaster situation with a reply code and a simple comment. FIG. 15 shows an example of mail that is automatically generated when the safety information confirmation system receives a mail with a reply code of 1.

  In step S904, it is determined whether or not the reply code is 2. If the determination in step S904 is NO, the process proceeds to step S905, and if YES, the process proceeds to step S910. In step S910, a safety information mail corresponding to the reply code 2 is automatically generated, and if there is a user's comment, it is added to the mail. In step S911, the mail created in step S910 is transmitted to each registrant.

  In step S905, it is determined whether or not the reply code is 3. If the determination in step S905 is no, the process proceeds to step S915 and returns. If the determination in step S905 is yes, the process proceeds to step S912. In step S912, a safety information mail corresponding to the reply code 3 is automatically generated, and if there is a user comment, it is added to the mail. In step S913, the mail created in step S912 is transmitted to each registrant. Since the reply code 3 is a rescue code, in step S914, the safety information confirmation system makes a rescue request notification to the rescue organization 300 together with the location information of the user.

  Next, the difference detection processing subroutine in step S808 will be described. FIG. 16 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart (difference detection processing subroutine) for operating the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  When the difference detection processing subroutine is started in step S1000, 1 is set to the flag D in step 1001. The user of the ID whose D flag is set to 1 is a person who has detected a difference in position information at least before and after the earthquake. Such a user can move and is assumed to be safe after the disaster. In step S1002, the safety information confirmation system automatically generates an email when such a difference is detected. In step S1003, an email related to the safety information of the user created in step S1002 is transmitted to each registrant, and a return is made in step S1004.

  FIG. 17 shows an example of the safety information mail transmitted to the registrant in the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the drawing, the text is such that each registrant is notified of information that the user's safety is estimated based on the difference in the user's position information.

  Next, the safety reconfirmation process in step S805 will be described. FIG. 17 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart (safety reconfirmation process) for operating the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention. When the safety reconfirmation process is started in step S1100, it is subsequently determined in step S1101 whether a reply mail to the safety inquiry mail (FIG. 10) has been received. If the determination result is YES, the process proceeds to step S1109. In step S1109, a reply mail reception process subroutine is executed. If the determination result of step S1101 is NO, the process proceeds to step 1102. In step S1102, a position information acquisition processing subroutine is executed. This position information acquisition processing subroutine will be described later.

Subsequently, in step S1103, it is determined whether or not there is a difference between the latest position information (X _n , Y _n ) and the previous position information (X _{n −1} , Y _{n −1} ). If the determination result in step 1103 is YES, the difference detection processing subroutine already described is executed in step S1110. If the determination result in step S1103 is NO, the process proceeds to step S1104.

In step S1104, it is determined whether or not the latest position information (X _n , Y _n ) is a disaster area. The disaster area information is obtained, for example, by the emergency earthquake bulletin transmission center 200. When the determination result in step S1104 is NO, 1 is set to the flag I in step S1111. A user whose flag I is 1 indicates a user who is outside the disaster area and can be safely ignored by the safety information confirmation system for the time being. If the determination result in step S1104 is YES, the process proceeds to step S1105. In step S1105, it is determined whether the value n of the latest position information (X _n , Y _n ) is equal to a predetermined value m. For example, m = 10. That n = 10, which is equal to m = 10, indicates position information acquired for the tenth time after the occurrence of an earthquake. In step S1105, if n has not reached m, the determination result is NO and processing proceeds to step S1108. If the result of the determination in step S1105 is YES, for example, the position information acquired for the 10th time after the occurrence of an earthquake indicates that the position information is completely immobile, so the user is likely to be damaged in some way. Therefore, in step S1106, the rescue information 300 is notified together with the position information and the like. As described above, for the user who has already notified the rescue organization, in step S1107, the flag S is set to 1 and it is recorded that the safety information confirmation system has taken any measures.

  In step S1108, it is determined whether R = 1, D = 1, I = 1, or S = 1 for all IDs. If the result of the determination in step S1108 is NO, it means that there is a user ID that has not been dealt with yet, so the process returns to step S1101 again. If the determination result in step S1108 is YES, it means that some processing has been performed for all user IDs, so that the process proceeds to step S1112 and the safety reconfirmation process is terminated.

  Next, the position information acquisition processing subroutine in step S1101 will be described. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flowchart (position information acquisition processing subroutine) for operating the safety information confirmation system according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  When the position information acquisition processing subroutine is started in step S1200, it is determined in step S1201 whether or not a predetermined time T has elapsed. If the result of the determination is NO, the process proceeds to step S1207 and returns. When the result of the determination in step 1201 is YES, the process proceeds to step S1202 and 1 is set in the ID. Subsequently, in step S1203, it is determined whether or not R = 0 and D = 0 or I = 0 and S = 0 for the ID. One of the flags being 1 means that the safety information confirmation system has dealt with some processing for the user ID. In such a case, the result of this determination is NO, Then, it progresses to step S1206. In step S1206, the ID is incremented by 1 and the determination loop of step S1203 is passed again.

  If the determination in step S1203 is YES, the process proceeds to step S1204, and position information is acquired from the user's mobile phone (or PHS phone) 101. As shown in step S1205, the acquired latest position information is represented by the larger n sequentially. Then, it progresses to step S1207 and returns.

  As described above, according to the safety information confirmation system of the present invention, it is possible to prevent a trouble that the communication system is congested after the earthquake occurs and the safety information cannot be confirmed. In addition, for users whose safety information is unknown, the user's location information is periodically acquired and the settings are made so that the user can not send safety information under the collapsed building. There is an advantage that rescue can be done quickly.
