Description

  The present invention relates to a mobile communication terminal device that receives emergency disaster information such as earthquake bulletin.

  In areas where there are many natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis, it is considered to prepare for disasters in advance and minimize damage by notifying many people of their occurrence as soon as possible. In addition, not only natural disasters but also artificial threats such as terrorism and crime can be considered in the same way.

  A system called ETWS (Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System) that distributes the occurrence of natural disasters as emergency disaster information has been developed so that it can be applied in Japan, where natural disasters are particularly frequent, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and even volcanic eruptions. ETWS is a system that quickly distributes emergency disaster information provided from a reliable organization such as a local government or the government to each user through a mobile communication system.

  ETWS places the highest priority on information delivery in the shortest time, and first delivers the most urgent information such as “Earthquake” as the first report, followed by the seismic intensity supplementing the first report, It is characterized by distributing information such as “seismic epicenter” as the second report.

  Here, an example of a procedure for distributing emergency disaster information by ETWS will be described with reference to FIG. In step (hereinafter abbreviated as “ST”) 11, when a disaster such as an earthquake occurs, a disaster detection server (CBC: Cell Broadcast Center) detects the disaster. In ST12, the disaster detection server transmits the disaster detection information to mobile communication. Notification is made to a mobile communication control server (RNC: Radio Network Controller) in the system.

  In ST13, the mobile communication control server notifies the mobile communication terminal (UE: User Equipment) of the first report of the disaster information via the mobile communication base station (BTS: Base Transceiver Station) through the paging channel. In ST14, the emergency response unit of the mobile communication terminal outputs the notified first report to the screen display unit. In ST15, the screen display unit of the mobile communication terminal displays the notified first report, and the user Notify

  In ST16, the mobile communication control server instructs the mobile communication terminal to open an emergency bulletin channel, that is, to prepare for high priority communication, via the mobile communication base station. In ST17, the mobile communication control server Using the breaking news channel, the mobile communication terminal is notified of the second report of disaster information such as the magnitude of the earthquake and tsunami warning.

  In ST18, the emergency response unit of the mobile communication terminal outputs the notified second report to the screen display unit. In ST19, the screen display unit of the mobile communication terminal displays the notified second report, and the user Notify

  Thus, according to ETWS, emergency disaster information can be quickly transmitted to the mobile communication terminal by delivering the first report with higher priority with the highest priority and delivering the second report supplementing the first report later. Can be notified.

  However, it is possible that the user who received the emergency disaster information may not know what action should be taken or may take a wrong action.

  Therefore, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses that an information notification server locally distributes evacuation site information to a terminal based on a terminal location database. According to this technique, it is understood that the user should go to the delivered evacuation site, and the user's action support can be achieved.

JP 2008-92395 A

  However, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 described above does not disclose an information display and action support method that reflects different needs for individual users. For example, action support information required in the event of a disaster (fire extinguishment of fire, securing of evacuation route, possession of passbook, etc.), contact information of family members and friends who need safety confirmation, devices to be operated (home appliances, breakers, gas, etc.) Etc.) differ from user to user. Furthermore, the information display and action support required for the user vary depending on the location where the user encounters a disaster.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a mobile communication terminal apparatus that performs information display and action support reflecting different needs for each user when receiving emergency disaster information.

  The mobile communication terminal device of the present invention is stored when a communication means for receiving emergency disaster information, a storage means for storing action support information for supporting a user's action at the time of an emergency disaster, and the emergency disaster information are received. And a display means for displaying the action support information.

  According to the present invention, when emergency disaster information is received, information display and action support reflecting different needs for each user can be performed.
