As shown in FIG. 1, the emergency call system 100 includes an event detection device 70, a disaster notification server 10, and a plurality of terminals 80.

  The event detection device 70 includes a seismometer, a rain gauge, and other sensors that detect events related to disasters. In the event detection device 70, when the detection result of a sensor or the like that detects an event exceeds a predetermined value (for example, a value that is highly likely to cause a disaster), the detection result is sent to the disaster notification server 10. To send. Although not shown, the event detection device 70 may receive information such as a weather warning announced by the Japan Meteorological Agency, an evacuation recommendation announced by the municipality, etc., and may be transmitted to the disaster notification server 10.

  The terminal 80 includes various terminals such as a mobile phone, a desktop PC (Personal Computer), a notebook PC, a tablet terminal, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a PHS (Personal Handy-phone System), and a fixed telephone. included. The terminal 80 is connected to the disaster notification server 10 via a network or the like, and notification information transmitted from the disaster notification server 10 (information notifying that a disaster has occurred or that a disaster may occur) ) Can be received. It is assumed that the terminal 80 has a function of returning some confirmation response (a response proving that the notification information has been received or confirmed) when the notification information is received.

  For example, when the terminal 80 is a mobile phone, the user can receive notification information by e-mail or the like. In this case, the mobile phone can receive a mail and return the mail to the disaster notification server 10 as a confirmation response when the user views the mail and presses the confirmation button. When the terminal 80 is a fixed telephone, the user can receive notification information by voice. In this case, when a user presses a predetermined push button after listening to all notification information, the information (tone) of the button is sent to the disaster notification server 10 as a confirmation response. Furthermore, when the terminal 80 is a PC or the like, the notification information can be confirmed on the browser. In this case, when the user of the PC presses a predetermined confirmation button on the browser, information on the button is returned to the disaster notification server 10 as a confirmation response.

  FIG. 2 shows a hardware configuration of the disaster notification server 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the disaster notification server 10 includes a CPU 90, a ROM 92, a RAM 94, a storage unit (HDD (Hard Disk Drive)) 96, an input / output unit 97, and the like. Each component of the disaster notification server 10 is connected to the bus 98. Further, a portable storage medium drive 99 is connected to the input / output unit 97, and a program (notification information transmission program) read from the portable storage medium 91 in the drive 99 or stored in the ROM 92 or the HDD 96. When the CPU 90 executes the program (notification information transmission program), the functions of the respective units in FIG. 3 are realized.

  FIG. 3 shows a functional block diagram of the disaster notification server 10. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the disaster notification server 10 functions as a transmission processing unit 50, a reception processing unit 60, and an unprocessed record processing unit 40. Note that FIG. 3 also shows tables stored in the HDD 96 (the time zone table 52 and the destination table 54 as a storage unit).

  Here, the time zone table 52 and the destination table 54 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 4 shows the data structure of the time zone table 52. As shown in FIG. 4, the time zone table 52 includes time zone names (time zone 1, time zone 2,...), Time zone start timing (day and time), and time zone end timing (day of the week). And time) are stored.

  FIG. 5 shows the data structure of the destination table 54. The destination table 54 stores the response times for the past two times for each destination and the average value thereof for each destination. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the destination table 54 includes items of destination, attribute, transmission date and time, transmission flag, and response time (seconds). The destination stores a telephone number, a mail address, an IP address, and the like registered by a user who wants to receive the service of the disaster notification server 10. The title stores the title. The date and time when the notification information is transmitted to the destination is stored in the transmission date and time. Either 1 or 0 is stored in the transmitting flag. When the flag is 1, it means that the notification information has been transmitted to the destination terminal but the reception response has not yet been returned. On the other hand, when the flag is 0, it means that the notification information has never been transmitted to the destination, or the reception response has already been returned after the notification information is transmitted. The response time (seconds) includes items of the previous and previous response times in each time zone and an average of these (average response time). In the following, data for each destination in the destination table 54 is referred to as a “record”.

  Returning to FIG. 3, the transmission processing unit 50 includes an event reception unit 12, a time zone determination unit 14, a destination acquisition unit 16, a notification transmission unit 18, and a transmission date update unit 20. A transmission unit is realized including the destination acquisition unit 16 and the notification transmission unit 18.

  The event receiver 12 receives an event (information such as an earthquake or heavy rain) from the event detection device 70. The time zone determination unit 14 determines the time zone (any one of the time zones 1, 2,...) Based on the time when the event is received (current) and the time zone table 52 (FIG. 4). To do.

  The destination acquisition unit 16 acquires all registered destinations from the destination table 54 (see FIG. 5). In this case, the destination acquisition unit 16 sorts the destinations (replaces the order) based on the time zone determined by the time zone determination unit 14 and the response time (average) in the time zone, and sets all destinations. To get.

  The notification transmission unit 18 transmits notification information to the terminal 80 registered in the destination table 54. In this case, the notification transmission unit 18 transmits the notification information in the order of destinations acquired by the destination acquisition unit 16. In other words, the destination acquisition unit 16 and the notification transmission unit 18 determine the transmission order of the notification information from the average of the response times associated with (associated with) each terminal in the destination table 54, and perform notification according to the order. It can be said that information is being transmitted.

  The transmission date and time update unit 20 updates the transmission date and time in the destination table 54 with the time (current time) when the notification transmission unit 18 transmits the notification information, and sets a transmission flag (flag = 1).

  The reception processing unit 60 includes a confirmation response reception unit 32 as a reception unit, a response time calculation unit 34, a time zone determination unit 36 as a time zone acquisition unit, and a response time / average value update unit 38. An association unit is realized including the response time calculation unit 34 and the response time / average value update unit 38.

  The confirmation response receiving unit 32 receives the confirmation response transmitted from the terminal 80 that has received the notification information. The response time calculator 34 calculates the time (response time) required from when the notification transmitter 18 transmits the notification information until the confirmation response receiver 32 receives the confirmation response. Based on the time zone table 52, the time zone determination unit 36 determines the time zone of the time when the notification transmission unit 18 transmits the notification information.

  The response time / average value update unit 38 updates the response time data of the time zone determined by the time zone determination unit 36 with the response time calculated by the response time calculation unit 34. The response time / average value updating unit 38 calculates the average of the current response time (“previous time” in FIG. 5) and the previous response time (“previous time” in FIG. 5), The destination table 54 is updated.

  Next, details of processing executed by the disaster notification server 10 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 6 to 8 are performed simultaneously in parallel.

(Processing of transmission processing unit 50)
First, the processing of the transmission processing unit 50 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating processing executed by the transmission processing unit 50. In the process of FIG. 6, in step S <b> 10, the event receiving unit 12 waits until receiving an event to be notified. Here, when the event receiving unit 12 receives an event to be notified (information such as an earthquake or heavy rain) transmitted from the event detection device 70, the process proceeds to step S12.

  In step S12, the time zone determination unit 14 determines a time zone including the current date and time. That is, the time zone determination unit 14 acquires a time zone including the current date and time from the time zone table 52 and sets it as the target time zone. For example, when the current date and time is 11:00 on Monday, the time zone determination unit 14 refers to the time zone table 52 of FIG. 4 and sets the time zone 1 as the target time zone.

  Next, in step S <b> 14, the destination acquisition unit 16 specifies all sort destinations in the order in which the average response time in the target time period is short, and acquires all destinations from the destination table 54 at a time. That is, for example, when the target time zone is time zone 1, the destination acquisition unit 16 rearranges the destination table 54 of FIG. 5 so that the values in the “average” row of time zone 1 are in ascending order. , Get all destinations.

  Next, in step S <b> 16, the notification transmission unit 18 determines whether notification information (information regarding a notification target event) has been transmitted to all the acquired destinations. Here, when the transmission of the notification information to all the destinations is completed and the determination in step S16 is affirmed, all the processes in FIG. 6 are terminated. On the other hand, if the notification information has not been transmitted to all destinations, the determination in step S16 is denied and the process proceeds to step S18.

  When the process proceeds to step S <b> 18, the notification transmission unit 18 transmits the notification information to the destinations that have not been transmitted and have the earliest acquisition order among the acquired destinations. That is, the notification information is transmitted to a destination having the shortest average response time among unsent destinations.

  Next, in step S20, the transmission date and time update unit 20 updates the transmission date and time of the destination (destination record) currently transmitted in the destination table 54 with the current date and time, and sets a transmission flag (flag = 1). . After the process of step S20 is complete | finished, it returns to step S16. Then, when the determination in step S16 is affirmed, the entire process of FIG. 6 ends. Note that the process of FIG. 6 is repeatedly performed thereafter.

(Processing of the reception processing unit 60)
Next, the processing of the reception processing unit 60 will be described based on FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing processing executed by the reception processing unit 60.

  In the process of FIG. 7, first, in step S <b> 30, the confirmation response receiving unit 32 waits until receiving the confirmation response transmitted from the terminal 80. When receiving the confirmation response, the confirmation response receiving unit 32 proceeds to step S32.

  In step S32, the response time calculation unit 34 sets the current date and time as the confirmation date and time. Next, in step S34, the response time calculation unit 34 acquires the transmission date and time of the destination that received the confirmation response from the destination table.

  Next, in step S <b> 36, the time zone determination unit 36 determines a time zone including the transmission date and time based on the time zone table 52. That is, the time zone determination unit 36 refers to the time zone table 52 and acquires a time zone including the transmission date and time. Then, the time zone determination unit 36 sets the acquired time zone as the target time zone. Next, in step S38, the response time calculation unit 34 obtains the difference between the transmission date and time and the confirmation date and time as the response time. The response time calculation unit 34 transmits the calculated response time to the response time / average value update unit 38.

  Next, in step S40, the response time / average value updating unit 38 sets the response time calculated in step S38 as the previous response time in the target time zone of the destination that received the confirmation response in the destination table. It should be noted that the time set as the previous response time in the destination table 54 before performing step S40 is newly set as the response time before the time of step S40.

  Next, in step S42, the response time / average value update unit 38 calculates the average value of the previous response time and the previous response time in the target time zone of the destination that received the confirmation response, and “ Update "Average".

  Next, in step S44, the response time / average value updating unit 38 resets the currently transmitted destination flag in the destination table 54 (flag = 0). When the processing up to step S44 is completed, the entire processing in FIG. 7 is completed. Note that the processing of FIG. 7 is repeatedly performed thereafter.

(Processing of the unprocessed record processing unit 40)
Next, the process of the unprocessed record processing unit 40 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing processing executed by the unprocessed record processing unit 40.

  In the process of FIG. 8, in step S50, the unprocessed record processing unit 40 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed. This step S50 is a step necessary for performing the processing after step S52 every predetermined time.

  When the predetermined time has elapsed and the process proceeds to step S <b> 52, the unprocessed record processing unit 40 acquires from the destination table 54 a record for which a transmission flag is set (a record whose flag is 1). Next, in step S54, the unprocessed record processing unit 40 determines whether or not all of the acquired records have been processed. If the determination in step S54 is affirmative, the entire process in FIG. 8 is terminated. On the other hand, if the determination in step S54 is negative, the process proceeds to step S56.

  In step S56, the unprocessed record processing unit 40 focuses on one of the acquired records (for example, the uppermost record). Next, in step S58, the unprocessed record processing unit 40 determines whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed since the transmission date and time of the record of interest. If the determination here is affirmed, the process proceeds to step S60.

  In step S60, the unprocessed record processing unit 40 acquires the time zone to which the transmission date / time of the record of interest belongs from the time zone table 52 and sets it as the target time zone. Next, in step S62, the unprocessed record processing unit 40 sets a predetermined response time (for example, about half a day) in the destination table 54 as the previous response time of the target time zone of the record of interest. Next, in step S64, the unprocessed record processing unit 40 calculates the average value of the previous response time and the previous response time in the target time zone of the focused record, and updates the destination table 54. In step S66, the unprocessed record processing unit 40 resets the transmission flag of the record of interest in the destination table 54 (flag = 0). In addition, when it takes a long time until the confirmation response is issued from the terminal 80 after the information is transmitted from the disaster notification server 10, the response time is updated for a long time as described above. Otherwise, the subsequent processing may be affected.

  Thereafter, the process returns to step S54, and the unprocessed record processing unit 40 determines whether or not the processing of all the records acquired in step S34 has been completed. If the determination here is negative, the process proceeds to step S56, and among the acquired records, attention is focused on records that have not been focused on so far. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S58.

  If the determination in step S58 is negative, the process returns to step S54 without performing any processing for the record of interest.

  Then, when the determination in step S54 is affirmed, the entire process of FIG. Note that the process of FIG. 8 is repeatedly executed thereafter.

  As described above in detail, according to the present embodiment, the notification transmission unit 18 transmits notification information to the plurality of terminals 80 registered in the destination table 54, and the confirmation response reception unit 32 performs notification. A reception response transmitted from the terminal 80 that has received the information is received. Further, the response time calculation unit 34 calculates the response time from when the notification transmission unit 18 transmits the notification information until the confirmation response reception unit 32 receives the reception response, and the response time / average value update unit 38 The destination table 54 is updated with the average value of the response time and the previous response time. Then, the notification transmission unit 18 determines the transmission order of the terminals that transmit the notification information based on the average value of the response time in the destination table 54, that is, the terminal having a faster response time in the past than the other terminals. Send notification information with priority. Here, the shorter the response time of the terminal when the notification information is transmitted in the past, the higher the possibility that the user of the terminal is a person who needs the notification information. Therefore, in this embodiment, the notification information is preferentially transmitted to the user terminal that needs the notification information by considering the response time of the terminal when the notification information has been transmitted in the past. Is possible. As a result, for example, a person in charge of disaster countermeasures in a local government is considered to have a faster response time to notification information than other people. Will be able to. For this reason, it is possible to shorten the initial action time for disaster countermeasures.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the time zone determination unit 36 acquires a time zone including the time when the notification transmission unit 18 transmits the notification information, and the response time / average value update unit 38 acquires the acquired time zone. Each time, the response time is registered in the destination table 54. Then, the destination acquisition unit 16 determines the transmission order of the notification information to the terminal 80 based on the response time in the time zone including the time when the notification information is transmitted. Thereby, even if it is a case where the necessity of notification information changes for every day of the week or a time slot | zone, notification information can be transmitted with respect to a terminal in an appropriate transmission order.

  In the above embodiment, the case where the time zone of the time zone table 52 is defined by day of the week and time as shown in FIG. 4 is described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be defined as daytime on weekdays and other time zones. Or it is good also as defining only with time. In the above embodiment, the case where the transmission order of the notification information is determined in consideration of the time zone has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the time zone may not be considered. In this case, the portion related to the time zone in the above embodiment (such as response time management for each time zone of the time zone determination units 14 and 36, the time zone table 52, and the destination table 54) can be omitted.

  In the above embodiment, in the destination table 54, the average response time is the average of the previous response time and the previous response time. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, an average of all response times after the operation of the disaster notification server 10 may be used. A weighted average value may be used as the average value. In this case, for example, the weight can be increased as the response time is closer to the present time. Furthermore, it is possible to register only the previous response time in the destination table 54 without obtaining the average, and to determine the order of the terminals that transmit the notification information based on the previous response time.

  The above processing functions can be realized by a computer. In that case, a program describing the processing contents of the functions that the processing apparatus should have is provided. By executing the program on a computer, the above processing functions are realized on the computer. The program describing the processing contents can be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium.

  When the program is distributed, for example, it is sold in the form of a portable recording medium such as a DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) or a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory) on which the program is recorded. It is also possible to store the program in a storage device of a server computer and transfer the program from the server computer to another computer via a network.

  The computer that executes the program stores, for example, the program recorded on the portable recording medium or the program transferred from the server computer in its own storage device. Then, the computer reads the program from its own storage device and executes processing according to the program. The computer can also read the program directly from the portable recording medium and execute processing according to the program. Further, each time the program is transferred from the server computer, the computer can sequentially execute processing according to the received program.

  The above-described embodiment is an example of a preferred embodiment of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
