  First, an outline of an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  As described in the section of [Problems to be Solved by the Invention], in a general disaster information transmission system, the Internet and telephones between a large number of mobile phones, landline phones, personal computers and disaster information transmission devices. Communication via public networks such as lines will be concentrated. As a result, telephone line congestion, switch system down, network congestion, and the like are likely to occur. For this reason, in general disaster information transmission systems, there are many situations in which it is difficult to transmit and receive necessary information.

  Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, a multifunction machine including functions such as a copy function, a print function, a scan function, and a facsimile function is used. The reason is that, except for outdoor temporary shelters such as parks and hills, many shelters such as schools and public halls have multifunction machines installed. Then, by utilizing the fixed telephone line, network, printing function, and authentication function of the multifunction peripheral, communication through the public network such as the Internet or telephone line is reduced as much as possible. This makes it possible to construct an environment suitable for providing necessary information.

  In addition, when an analog fixed telephone line can be used for the fixed telephone line of the multifunction peripheral, it is possible to construct an environment that is more resistant to access in the event of a disaster.

  In this way, a disaster prevention management, disaster reporting and disaster information sharing system is realized.

  The above is the outline of the embodiment of the present invention.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 shows an entire disaster prevention management system 1000 using a multifunction machine according to this embodiment. FIG. 2 shows that each facility included in the disaster prevention management system 1000 is connected.

  Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the present embodiment includes a multifunction peripheral 100, a lighting facility 200, an air conditioning facility 300, a locking facility 400, and a PC 500. The multifunction device 100 includes a control unit 101, an operation panel 102, an audio output unit 103, an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader / writer 104, and a recording medium 105.

  Furthermore, each of the lighting equipment 200, the air conditioning equipment 300, the locking equipment 400, and the PC 500 is connected to the multifunction peripheral 100. When describing this connection, it is desirable that each of the lighting equipment 200, the air conditioning equipment 300, the locking equipment 400, and the PC 500 is connected to the MFP 100 by a method that does not use a public network such as a telephone line or an optical line. Specifically, it is preferably connected by a dedicated line, or connected by a short-range wireless communication such as a LAN (Local Area Network) constructed in the disaster prevention management system, or Bluetooth (registered trademark) or infrared communication. . This is because these short-range wireless communications do not use the public network for connections such as telephone lines and optical lines, and can be used regardless of the problem of concentrated access to the public network in the event of a disaster. Because it can. In the following description, communication realized without using such a public network is referred to as communication through a non-public network.

  Next, each component will be specifically described.

  The multifunction peripheral 100 is a communication and image forming apparatus including a copy function, a print function, a scan function, and a facsimile function. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that all of these functions are included, but some of these functions may not be included. In addition, other functions as a multifunction machine may be included.

  Note that the normal functions of the exemplified multifunction machine are not the gist of the present embodiment, but are well known to those skilled in the art, and the description thereof is omitted here. In addition, multifunction peripherals are currently in widespread use and are used in many places including schools and public halls. The multifunction device 100 corresponds to the “disaster management device” of the present invention.

  Further, the multifunction peripheral 100 executes each process described below under the control of the control unit 101. Here, the control unit 101 includes at least an arithmetic processing unit such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and a DSP (Digital Signal Processor). The arithmetic processing unit performs arithmetic processing based on a program specific to the present embodiment stored in the recording medium 105 or the like, thereby controlling each hardware included in the multifunction peripheral 100.

  Note that the control unit 101 has a main storage device used in arithmetic processing. In addition, a program specific to this embodiment may be stored in an auxiliary storage device included in the control unit 101. Furthermore, the control unit 101 may be realized by a single or a plurality of IC chips. Furthermore, the control unit 101 may implement only processing unique to the present embodiment, but may implement processing related to normal functions as a multifunction peripheral.

  The operation panel 102 is an operation panel unit including a control panel function for a user interface. The operation panel 102 includes a touch panel and a display unit, and includes a function of receiving an operation on the multifunction device and displaying a state of the multifunction device. The operation panel 102 may be realized by a combination of a display unit realized by an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) or the like and a hardware key, but may be realized by an LCD with a touch panel in addition to or instead of these. Also good. Also, an operation such as an operation by voice input may be accepted.

  The audio output unit 103 includes a function of transmitting system sounds from the multifunction peripheral to the user, and includes a speaker.

  The RFID reader / writer 104 is a device for performing authentication by bringing a predetermined IC card close to or in contact with the RFID reader / writer 104.

  The recording medium 105 is a recording medium that can be read and written by the multifunction peripheral 100 (particularly, the control unit 101), and can be realized by a recording medium such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or a Flash SSD (Solid State Drive). Further, part or all of the functions may be realized by an easily removable recording medium such as an SD memory card. The recording medium 105 can store data relating to a copy function, a print function, a scan function, and a facsimile function. In addition, information useful for disasters such as information on evacuation shelters near the place where the multifunction device 100 is installed, information on public telephones near the place where the multifunction device 100 is installed, and stockpile information is available. Saved. In an emergency where a disaster occurs, the information can be printed automatically or in accordance with a user instruction.

  Registration of the location where the multifunction device 100 is installed can be set when the multifunction device 100 is installed. Information useful in the event of a disaster, such as information on a refuge near the place where the multifunction device 100 is installed, information on public telephones in the vicinity and information on stored items, is also set when the multifunction device 100 is installed. Then, when such information is updated on the network, the information may be automatically updated. This makes it possible to always store the latest information. In addition to this, for example, the information may be updated by causing the multifunction peripheral 100 to read the recording medium 105 storing the latest information.

  The lighting facility 200 is various lighting devices installed on the ceiling of the room and is connected in a state where it can communicate with the multifunction peripheral 100. The lighting device can be turned on and off in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 101 of the multifunction peripheral 100.

  The air conditioner 300 can adjust the indoor temperature and humidity to set values by functions such as heating, cooling, and air blowing, and is connected to the multi-function device 100 in a communicable state through a non-public network. The room temperature and humidity can be adjusted to set values in accordance with instructions from the control unit 101 of the multifunction peripheral 100. Moreover, the air conditioning equipment 300 may include a function of ventilating the room together with functions such as heating, cooling, and air blowing, or instead of these functions.

  The locking facility 400 is a facility that locks and unlocks the entrance and exit by various authentication functions such as password input, IC card authentication, and biometric authentication. The locking facility 400 and the multifunction peripheral 100 are connected in a communicable state through a non-public network. Specifically, locking and unlocking can be performed in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 101 of the multifunction peripheral 100. The locking facility 400 is a locking facility that can be locked and unlocked by inserting a physical key into a cylinder and manually rotating the key, and can be locked and unlocked electrically. Also good.

  In addition, it is also possible to operate any of the lighting equipment 200, the air conditioning equipment 300, and the locking equipment 400 by using a switch or an operation panel dedicated to each equipment without going through the multifunction machine 100.

  The PC 500 is a personal computer and is connected so as to be communicable with the multifunction peripheral 100. This connection is also preferably a connection through a non-public network. The PC 500 can be used for any general purpose as a normal personal computer. For example, the print function of the multifunction device 100 can be used in response to an instruction from the PC 500.

  On the other hand, the PC 500 has a function unique to this embodiment. For example, predetermined information is displayed on a display connected to the PC 500 in response to an instruction from the control unit 101 of the multifunction peripheral 100.

  Next, referring to FIG. 3, the multifunction peripheral 100 is connected to an external network 600 and / or a fixed telephone line 700. The multi-function device 100 receives disaster-related information such as emergency earthquake information, tsunami information, and warning information from the external network 600 and / or the fixed telephone line 700. Also, when an earthquake occurs, information on disasters such as information on the occurrence of an earthquake is obtained from the external network 600 and / or the fixed telephone line 700.

  In addition, the multi-function device 100 can perform personal authentication at the time of disaster using each of the above-described functional blocks.

  As an example of the authentication method, an authentication method for performing card authentication using the RFID reader / writer 104 can be considered. An authentication method using a user ID and a password is conceivable. In addition, an authentication method may be adopted in which a prescribed format is printed on a paper medium and output, the name and address are handwritten along the format, and the handwritten paper medium is scanned.

  In this embodiment, it is assumed that authentication is performed using the RFID reader / writer 104 and a specific IC card. However, a functional block may be further added and replaced with another authentication method such as biometric authentication using a fingerprint or a voiceprint, or authentication using a password.

  Next, an operation performed on the multifunction peripheral 100 by the user will be described with reference to FIG. Each of these operations is performed by the user using the operation panel 102.

  In this embodiment, anyone may be able to change the settings of the MFP 100, but it is desirable that only the MFP administrator in the user can make settings, etc. if possible.

  For this purpose, first, the multifunction peripheral 100 needs to determine the multifunction peripheral administrator. Therefore, a method for authenticating the MFP administrator is selected in advance. Here, one example of an authentication method that can be selected is a setting method that performs authentication by operating the operation panel 102 to input an ID and password, and another example uses an RFID reader / writer 104. This is a setting method by card authentication. The MFP administrator selects which method is to be used for authentication in the future. Then, the selected authentication method is set.

  After the authentication method setting is completed, authentication is performed using the set authentication method, and it is determined whether or not the user who is currently operating is a multifunction machine administrator. When the authentication is successful, the disaster management system 1000 can be logged in. Note that there may be one MFP administrator, but there may also be a plurality of persons.

  The MFP administrator logs in to the disaster prevention management system 1000 and sets the MFP 100. The settings can be roughly classified into two settings: a normal operation setting (A20) and a disaster operation setting (A30). In addition, the multifunction machine administrator also performs an operation to end operation (A40) during a disaster.

  Therefore, administrator authentication (A10) is performed, and the MFP administrator who has logged in first executes from three types of normal operation setting (A20), operation setting during disaster (A30), and operation end during disaster (A40). Select a function.

  When the normal operation setting (A20) is selected, the administrator further operates the operation panel 102 to select either the warning transition condition setting (A21) or the warning means setting (A22).

  When the warning transition condition setting (A21) is selected, it is possible to set a condition for shifting to a process for giving a warning when a disaster occurs. More specifically, the operation panel 102 is further operated to set three types of combinations of area selection (A21-1), seismic intensity selection (A21-2), and presence / absence of tsunami warning (A21-3). it can.

  In region selection (A21-1), it is determined in which region a warning is to be generated for a disaster that has occurred. Usually, the area where the multifunction peripheral 100 is installed is selected. Of course, if a warning is to be issued even when a disaster occurs in another area (for example, another branch), the other area may be further selected.

  In seismic intensity selection (A21-2), it is determined whether or not an alarm is generated if the seismic intensity is more than one. For example, if the seismic intensity is 3 or more, an alarm is generated. Note that magnitude, which is an index other than seismic intensity, may be set as the index.

  In the presence / absence of tsunami warning (A21-3), an alarm is generated when the tsunami warning is included in the disaster information, or even if the tsunami warning is not included in the disaster information (for example, a predetermined seismic intensity) ) Is set to generate an alarm only if it is satisfied.

  The multi-function device 100 issues a warning only when disaster information satisfying the warning transition condition setting (A21) at the time of occurrence of a disaster set by the administrator is obtained.

  When the MFP administrator operates the operation panel 102 and selects the warning means setting (A22), the MFP administrator sets how to output disaster information such as emergency earthquake information, tsunami information, and warning information as a warning. To do.

  Information relating to disasters such as emergency earthquake information, tsunami information and warning information is obtained from the network 600 and / or the fixed telephone line 700. The administrator can select the output method of the acquired information from three types of methods: speaker broadcasting (A22-1), mail distribution (A22-2), and printing (A22-3).

  In the speaker broadcasting (A22-1), information can be developed by using the audio output unit 103 and broadcasting information on disasters such as emergency earthquake information, tsunami information, and warning information that have been obtained.

  In the mail delivery setting (A22-2), information relating to disasters such as emergency earthquake information, tsunami information, and alarm information obtained can be sent to a predetermined mail address by mail to expand the information. And, by delivering this mail through a non-public network using, for example, a LAN built in the disaster prevention management system, the delivery can be realized regardless of the problem of concentrated access to the public network in the event of a disaster. Can do.

  In printing (A22-3), the information on disasters such as emergency earthquake information, tsunami information, and warning information obtained in advance using the printer function of the multifunction machine is automatically printed on a paper medium. Then, the user can develop the information by distributing the printing paper.

  When the disaster operation setting (A30) is selected, it is possible to make a setting for “disaster operation” to which the multifunction peripheral 100 shifts when the information at the time of disaster occurrence is obtained.

  First, the administrator operates the operation panel 102 to select from two types of operation transition condition setting (A31) and disaster occurrence operation setting (A32).

  When the operation transition condition setting (A31) is selected, it is possible to set a condition for shifting to an operation when a disaster occurs. The condition can be further set by operating the operation panel 102 from three types of combinations: area selection (A31-1), seismic intensity selection (A31-2), and presence / absence of tsunami warning (A31-3).

  The specific contents of the area selection (A31-1) are the same as the area selection (A21-1), and the specific contents of the seismic intensity selection (A31-2) are seismic intensity selection (A21-2). ) And the specific contents of the presence / absence of the tsunami warning (A31-3) are the same as the presence / absence of the tsunami warning (A21-3), and thus the description thereof is omitted here.

  However, the specific contents are the same, but the settings themselves need not be the same. For example, seismic intensity selection (A21-2) may be set to seismic intensity 3, and seismic intensity selection (A31-2) may be set to seismic intensity 5.

  The multifunction device 100 issues a warning only when the disaster information satisfying the operation transition condition setting (A31) set by the administrator is obtained.

  When the multifunction machine administrator operates the operation panel 102 and selects the operation setting at the time of disaster occurrence (A32), the multifunction machine administrator sets the operation of the multifunction machine when shifting to the operation at the time of disaster occurrence. Items that can be set are lighting equipment setting (A32-1), air conditioning equipment setting (A32-2), locking equipment setting (A32-3), various printing settings (A32-4), and user identification mode during a disaster. There are five types of settings (A32-5).

  When the setting of lighting equipment (A32-1) is selected, the operation panel 102 can be further operated to set whether to turn on or off the lighting at the time of a disaster for each lighting.

  When the setting of the air conditioning equipment (A32-2) is selected, the operation panel 102 can be further operated to set for each air conditioning whether to forcibly stop the air conditioning at the time of disaster or to continue the operation. Further, when the operation is continued, it may be possible to set whether to perform cooling or heating, or to be able to set the set temperature. Thereby, it becomes possible to provide an appropriate environment for evacuees. Furthermore, the possibility of failure can be reduced by forcibly stopping the operation of an air-conditioning apparatus that may break down due to, for example, a large vibration caused by an earthquake during operation.

  When the setting of the locking facility (A32-3) is selected, by further operating the operation panel 102 to forcibly open the locking facility at the time of a disaster, the doorway that requires unlocking for the authentication of the locking facility It is possible to select whether or not to unlock. It should be noted that, in addition to forcibly opening the locking facility at the entrance / exit that is normally used, the locking facility at the entrance / exit that is not normally used (so-called emergency exit) may be opened.

  In the various print settings (A32-4), useful information in the event of a disaster, such as evacuation center information stored in the recording medium 105 of the multifunction peripheral 100, public telephone information in the vicinity, and stockpile information, is displayed when the disaster occurs. Whether or not to print automatically can be set.

  In the user identification mode setting (A32-5), it is possible to set whether to perform user identification and how to identify the user when performing disaster operation within the disaster operation setting. It is. The user identification mode setting (A32-5) relates to a modification of the present embodiment described later, and will be described in detail when the modification is described.

  When the end of operation at the time of disaster (A40) is selected, the operation of the multifunction peripheral 100 can be switched from the operation at the time of disaster occurrence to the normal operation.

  In the above description, it is assumed that the multifunction machine administrator operates using the operation panel 102. But you may enable it to operate from an external apparatus. For example, the operation may be performed by logging in as an administrator on the PC 500 connected to the multifunction peripheral 100.

  Moreover, A21-1 to A21-3 and A31-1 to A31-3 described above may be other standards. For example, disaster information such as heavy rain warning and flood warning may be used as warning transition conditions or operation transition conditions.

  Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. In the operation, it is assumed that the various settings described above have already been made.

  First, when the operation of the multifunction device 100 is started, a normal operation is performed (step S51). That is, the multifunction device 100 operates as a general multifunction device including a print function. As long as the multifunction peripheral 100 does not obtain disaster information from the external network 600 and / or the fixed telephone line 700 (No in step S52), the normal operation continues.

  On the other hand, when disaster information is obtained from the external network 600 and / or the fixed telephone line 700 (No in step S52), the process proceeds to step S53.

  In step S53, it is confirmed whether the disaster information obtained in step S52 satisfies the conditions set in the warning transition condition setting (step S53). If not satisfied (No in step S53), the process proceeds to step S55 without performing any particular process. On the other hand, if the condition is satisfied (Yes in step S53), a warning is performed. As a warning method, the method set in the warning means setting is used (step S54). Then, after the warning ends or while continuing the warning, the process proceeds to step S55.

  In step S55, it is confirmed whether the disaster information acquired in step S52 satisfies the conditions set in the operation transition condition setting (step S55). When not satisfy | filling (in step S55 No), a process is not performed but it returns to step S51, and normal driving | operation is restarted. On the other hand, when the condition is satisfied (Yes in step S55), the normal operation is shifted to the disaster operation. And the operation | movement according to the setting in operation setting at the time of disaster occurrence is performed (step S56).

  After that, when there is no operation to end the disaster operation by the multifunction machine administrator, the disaster operation is continued (No in step S57). On the other hand, when an operation to end the operation at the time of disaster by the multifunction machine administrator is accepted (Yes in step S57), the process returns to step S51, and normal operation is resumed.

  In the present embodiment described above, it is possible to realize a prompt warning or the like while utilizing the functions of the multifunction peripheral and reducing the use of the public network as much as possible.

  Then, the modification of this embodiment is demonstrated. In this modified example, when a disaster occurs, a predetermined input from each user is accepted to identify the input user. And the identification result and, for example, a database of neighboring residents (which holds the correspondence between the data entered by the user and the user's name, date of birth, address, etc. The name, date of birth, address, etc. obtained by searching for the identification results can be stored as necessary. Thus, the input data and / or the retrieved content can be browsed from other devices than the multi-function device 100 via the external network 600. Thereby, it becomes possible to confirm the safety of each user from the outside of the disaster prevention management system. This is because a user who has been able to execute a predetermined operation after a disaster has been evacuated at least near the MFP 100 and has been able to execute an operation for input. It is because it can be said that it is made. The data input method and the personal identification method by the individual can be selected from a plurality of methods as will be described later. In particular, if the method using the authentication function of the multifunction device 100 is selected, the authentication function is used. Can be used for personal identification as it is, and there is no need to add an extra function.

  The operation of this modification will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In FIG. 6, steps S61 to S63 are newly added between step S56 and step S57 of FIG. In FIG. 6, illustration of the steps overlapping those in FIG. 5 is omitted.

  First, when the disaster information obtained in step S52 satisfies the conditions set in the operation transition condition setting (Yes in step S55), the normal operation is shifted to the disaster operation. And the operation | movement according to the setting in operation setting at the time of disaster occurrence is performed (step S56).

  Subsequently, in the present modification, the user identification mode is further activated while continuing the disaster operation (step S61).

  While the user identification mode is activated, the operation panel 102 of the multifunction peripheral 100 can be operated to select a user identification method from three types: identification by card authentication, identification by password authentication, and identification by handwriting. Here, identification by card authentication and identification by password authentication can be realized by diverting an authentication function included in the multifunction peripheral 100. In addition, identification by handwriting can be realized by diverting a scan function included in the multifunction peripheral 100 or a function for digitizing scan content. In addition to this, the palm or finger may be scanned to authenticate it, or the barcode or QR code (registered trademark) held by the individual on a paper medium may be scanned to obtain personal information from there. The barcode or QR code (registered trademark) may be saved on the mobile terminal and displayed on the display screen so that it can be scanned, or by wireless or wired communication with the multifunction device. The multifunction device may be able to input. The personal information may be, for example, an e-mail address or electronic identification information if the database supports it.

  Here, the identification by card authentication is a method of identifying a user by user authentication for performing card authentication using the RFID reader / writer 104. In this case, registration information for user authentication needs to be registered in advance. That is, it is necessary to register in advance which IC card ID is assigned to which person.

  Identification by password authentication is a method of identifying a user by user authentication using a user ID and a password, and registration information for user authentication needs to be registered in advance. That is, it is necessary to register in advance which user ID and password are assigned to which person. In this modification, the purpose is to confirm safety, etc., and it is preferable to authenticate as many users as possible. Therefore, password input may be omitted.

  Further, in the identification by handwriting, a prescribed format is printed on a paper medium and output. Then, a name, an address, and the like are handwritten on the output paper medium according to a prescribed format. Further, the handwritten paper medium is scanned. The scanned content is digitized in a predetermined image format, and the user identification is completed. Prior registration is not required. Further, a paper medium on which a prescribed format is printed may be prepared in advance.

  The user identification completion result is stored in the recording medium 105 of the multifunction peripheral 100. Further, the user identification completion result can be shared with the external network 600. As a result, the user identification completion result can be viewed from another terminal connected to the external network 600. In addition, browsing from the PC 500 may be possible. Further, the recording medium 105 may be realized by a recording medium that is detachable from the multifunction peripheral 100, and after the user authentication result is stored in the recording medium 105, the recording medium 105 may be removed and taken outside.

  Note that, as described above, in the user identification mode setting (A32-5) in FIG. 4, in the disaster operation setting, whether or not to perform user identification at the time of disaster operation is set and implemented. It is possible to set the identification method.

  It is also possible to make a list of users who should be identified by the MFP 100 in advance, and to be able to browse the list in comparison with the user identification result. As a result, a user who has not yet been identified (ie, a user who has not been confirmed to be in a safe state) and a user who has already been identified (ie, is in a safe state) Can be easily grasped.

  For example, if the multi-function device 100 is installed in a certain evacuation site, a list of residents in that area may be stored in the database. If the multifunction device 100 is installed in the company, for example, the employees of the company may be listed and used as a database.

  In this modification described above, each user is authenticated by the multifunction device in a lump, and the safety of each user can be confirmed simply by communicating with the multifunction device. It is possible to reduce the use of the public network compared to

  As yet another modification, the multifunction device 100 can be incorporated into a part of the attendance / leaving system.

  As an operation, card authentication using the RFID reader / writer 104 of the multifunction peripheral 100 is performed. Information necessary for card authentication must be registered in advance. For example, it is necessary to register in advance which IC card ID is assigned to which employee.

  The card authentication result is shared with other devices via the external network 600 from the multifunction peripheral 100, and is collectively managed as attendance / leaving management information.

  In explaining the effect of this modification, for example, a case where a disaster occurs after going to work is considered. In this case, since the time card is pushed at the time of going to work (before the disaster occurs), it is possible to grasp which employee is in the company today.

  Then, by performing authentication in the above-described user identification mode after the disaster occurs, it is possible to know who has performed user authentication among the employees in the company today. The fact that the user was authenticated after the disaster occurred indicates that this employee is in a safe situation. On the other hand, you can see who is not authenticating users among the employees in the company today. Therefore, it can be seen that it is unclear whether this employee is in a safe situation. As a result, a more reliable safety check can be performed.

  Note that the above-described multifunction peripheral can be realized by hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Moreover, the disaster prevention management method performed by the above-described multifunction peripheral can also be realized by hardware, software, or a combination thereof. Here, “realized by software” means realized by a computer reading and executing a program.

  The program may be stored using various types of non-transitory computer readable media and supplied to the computer. Non-transitory computer readable media include various types of tangible storage media. Examples of non-transitory computer readable media include magnetic recording media (for example, flexible disks, magnetic tapes, hard disk drives), magneto-optical recording media (for example, magneto-optical disks), CD-ROMs (Read Only Memory), CD- R, CD-R / W, and semiconductor memory (for example, mask ROM, PROM (Programmable ROM), EPROM (Erasable PROM), flash ROM, RAM (random access memory)). The program may also be supplied to the computer by various types of transitory computer readable media. Examples of transitory computer readable media include electrical signals, optical signals, and electromagnetic waves. The temporary computer-readable medium can supply the program to the computer via a wired communication path such as an electric wire and an optical fiber, or a wireless communication path.

  The embodiment of the present invention described above has the following effects.

  The effect is that disaster prevention management, disaster reporting, and a disaster information sharing system can be realized.

  This is because the network of the multi-function peripheral and the printing function and authentication function are utilized.

  This effect is a problem that cannot be solved by the technology described in Patent Document 1, and is effective in quickly providing crime prevention / disaster prevention information that can be trusted by more citizens (residents) by utilizing e-mail and information display devices. Although it is characterized by providing a crime prevention / disaster prevention information system that can be transmitted accurately, access to information from multiple terminals has been increased by utilizing e-mails and information display devices, etc. Can be solved.

  Further, the use of a plurality of network interfaces, which is a problem that cannot be solved by the technique described in Patent Document 2, increases the amount of network information from a plurality of external and information distribution apparatuses, and causes a server system downtime. The problem that congestion is likely to be caused can be solved.
