  Embodiments of a notification navigation apparatus according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment of the report navigation apparatus described below, the report navigation function is configured as one function of an application (hereinafter referred to as a report navigation application) that is executed on a high-function mobile phone terminal called a smartphone. The function of the notification navigation application may be realized as one mode (report navigation mode) of the navigation application that performs route search and route guidance.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration example of a notification navigation apparatus 1 according to the embodiment. The notification navigation device 1 of this embodiment includes a configuration in which each unit described later is controlled by a control unit 10 including a computer, for example.

  The control unit 10 includes a notification message generation unit 11, a map data storage unit 12, a TTS (Text To Speech) processing unit 13, a mail transmission unit 14, a camera 15, a photographing information buffer 16, Voice recognition unit 17, report destination determination unit 18, mobile phone communication unit 19, display interface 20, operation input unit interface 21, current position detection unit 22, Wi-Fi (registered trademark) communication unit 23, The image recognition unit 24 and the reporter attribute information storage unit 25 are connected.

  In addition, although this embodiment demonstrates as what the notification navigation apparatus 1 is provided, actually the map data storage part 12 is provided in the cloud, and map data is acquired from the cloud.

  A display 26 made of, for example, an LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is connected to the display interface 20. In addition, in this example, an operation input unit 27 including a touch sensor disposed so as to overlap the display 26 is connected to the operation input unit interface 21.

The control unit 10 has a function of detecting a touch operation through a touch sensor that constitutes the operation input unit 27. In this embodiment, the control part 10 receives the setting of the situation parameter regarding the situation which should be notified from the user (notifier) of the notification navigation apparatus of this embodiment through the operation input part 27. In this example, the situation parameters set by the reporter are:
・ Reporting and reporting events such as fires, accidents, theft, sudden illness, fights, suspicious persons, illegal acts,
・ Relationship attribute of the reporter such as party, victim, witness, family, friend, acquaintance,
-There are reports such as fire department, police, station, etc.-whether it is anonymous or real name.

  The current position detection unit 22 detects the current position of the notification navigation device 1 using, for example, a gyro or a geomagnetic sensor in addition to a GPS (Global Positioning System) positioning function. Further, position detection is performed using position information acquired from a mobile phone base station via the mobile phone communication unit 19 or position information obtained from a Wi-Fi access point via the Wi-Fi (registered trademark) communication unit 23. Can improve the accuracy. At the time of reporting, the current position detection unit 22 detects position information of a place where a report notification event to be reported has occurred. When the GPS function of the current position detection unit 22 is not started when the notification navigation application is started, the control unit 10 automatically starts the GPS function.

  The map data storage unit 12 stores map data including attribute information such as addresses and building names. This map data is used to objectively explain the current location of the reporter to the report destination. That is, in this embodiment, the control unit 10 provides information for explaining the location where the notification target notification event has occurred based on the location information of the location where the notification target notification event has occurred. A part or the whole is acquired from the map data storage unit 12.

  The camera 15 is used for photographing a situation to be reported, and is also used for acquiring information for explaining a place where the report contact event has occurred. For example, in the notification navigation device 1 of this embodiment, when the notification navigation application is activated, the camera 15 automatically starts moving image shooting and still image shooting and accumulates image data in the shooting information buffer 16. As will be described later, the image data stored in the photographing information buffer 16 is used to be attached to an e-mail that is a part of the report and transmitted to the report destination. The image data stored in the photographing information buffer 16 is recognized by a building, a sign, a signboard, and the like by image recognition in the image recognition unit 24, and acquires character information such as a building name and an address display. It is also used to acquire information for explaining the place where the report communication event has occurred.

  In the case where the report communication event is a theft, a suspicious person, an illegal act (drug transaction site), or the like, the camera 15 is controlled by the control unit 10 so as to shoot a video. Since the movie is filmed silently, the other party will not notice it.

  In this example, the report message generator 11 generates a report message as text character information. The report message generation unit 11 includes at least text information (fire, accident, etc.) indicating a report contact event selected and set by the reporter, and text information for explaining a place where the report contact event has occurred. In addition, the reporter's relation attribute regarding the report communication event and the reporter (user) name, address, and contact information read from the reporter attribute information storage unit 25 when not anonymous are also included.

  For example, the report message generation unit 11 prepares a template for creating text information for each report communication event in advance, generates a natural conversation sentence by appropriately arranging the above information, and transmits it to the report destination. A notification message to be generated can be generated. For example, “It is a fire. The location is near the ○○ town ○○ apartment.” <Location from the ○○ elementary school to the northwest ○ meter>. I am the <witness> <○ Island ○ husband and the phone number is 080-XXX- XXXX>. <XX @ XXX> Image attached mail has been completed. " Here, the part enclosed in <> is the part inserted by using the status parameters set by the reporter and the information obtained as described above for explaining the location where the report contact event occurred It becomes.

  The TTS processing unit 13 is for converting the text character information generated by the report message generating unit into voice and performing voice report to the report destination.

  The mail transmission unit 14 is for making a report by electronic mail using the text character information generated by the report message generation unit. In this case, in this embodiment, the image data of the photographing information buffer 16 is automatically attached. Of course, the image data may be transferred to the cloud and stored, and a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) indicating the storage location of the image data may be described in the e-mail. An example of a notification message sent by e-mail is, for example, “Fire. Location is near XX town XX apartment.> <XX elementary school to northwest ○ meter>. I am <witness> < “Oshima is a husband and his phone number is 080-XXX-XXXX>.

  The voice recognition unit 17 recognizes the voice of the response from the report destination to the report by voice from the report navigation apparatus of this embodiment. In this embodiment, when the voice recognition unit 17 recognizes words such as “I can't hear” or “again” in the response voice from the report destination, it sends a request for retransmission of the report by voice to the control unit 10. To do. In response to this retransmission request, the control unit 10 retransmits the notification by voice.

  When the speech recognition unit 17 recognizes a word such as “more detailed contents” or “more detailed” in the response voice from the report destination, it directly sends a conversation request to the control unit 10. When the control unit 10 receives the direct conversation request, the control unit 10 emits a predetermined voice or incoming call notification sound indicating the direct conversation request from the speaker constituting the telephone function receiver, or receives a direct conversation request from the report destination. The notification is made to the reporter by notifying that there is a synthesized voice or not. At this time, if the report is made by voice, the report navigation device 1 and the report destination already have a call path, so the reporter simply uses the same method as a normal telephone conversation. Using a transmitter (microphone) and a receiver (speaker), it is possible to have a conversation with the report destination.

  When the report destination selection unit 18 is not set to select the report destination through the operation input unit 27, the report destination determination unit 18 selects and sets through the operation input unit 27 such as fire, accident, theft, sudden illness, fight, suspicious person, illegal act, etc. A report destination, for example, a police station or a fire department, is determined as a report destination in accordance with the reported notification event. When the report destination selection setting is made through the operation input unit 27, the report destination determination unit 18 uses the selection setting. Note that the report destination determination unit 18 can also determine a plurality of report destinations, for example, report to the police station and the fire department.

  In the report destination determination unit 18, 110 is stored as a telephone number corresponding to the police station, and an e-mail address is also stored. In addition, the report destination determination unit 18 stores 119 as a telephone number corresponding to the fire department, and also stores an e-mail address. When the notification navigation device 1 is a mobile phone terminal using an IP phone number that cannot make a call directly to the 110th and 119th, the notification destination determination unit 18 sends the nearest from the cloud via the Internet. A predetermined telephone number of a police station or a fire station is acquired, and the acquired telephone number is used as connection information to a voice report destination.

  In addition, the notification destination determination unit 18 determines that the notification navigation device is moving when the information on the current position detected by the current position detection unit 22 changes in time series. . In this case, when the reporter is on the train, the report destination determination unit 18 recognizes that the reporter is on the train by referring to the map data in the map data storage unit 12. it can. As described above, when the reporter recognizes that the trainee is on the train, the report destination determination unit 18 determines the nearest stop station in the traveling direction as the report destination. Then, the determined telephone number and e-mail address of the nearest station are acquired from the cloud.

  The mobile phone communication unit 19 performs communication through a base station of a mobile phone network, and can execute a normal phone communication function of a mobile phone terminal and a cloud access function through the Internet.

  The Wi-Fi (registered trademark) communication unit 23 is automatically started up by the control unit 10 when the notification navigation application is started up and is not started up. Used for communication for transmission.

[Example of flow of notification operation in the notification navigation device 1]
FIG.2 and FIG.3 is a figure which shows the flowchart for demonstrating the processing operation example by the report navigation application of the report navigation apparatus 1 of this embodiment.

  In the notification navigation apparatus 1 of the embodiment, when the notification navigation application is activated, the control unit 10 automatically starts detection of the current position and photographing by the camera 15 (step S101). As described above, since the current position is detected using the GPS positioning function of the mobile communication terminal, the position information from the mobile phone base station or the position information from the Wi-Fi access point is used. When the user has invalidated a part of the GPS positioning function, the mobile communication function, and the Wi-Fi (registered trademark) wireless communication function, all of them are validated and accurate position detection is performed.

  The method of shooting by the camera 15 may be moving image shooting or intermittent still image shooting. The image data acquired by shooting is stored in the shooting information buffer 16 as a record of the situation of the location, and is transmitted as an attachment to an e-mail, and also describes the location where the notification contact event has occurred as described above. It is used to acquire information for

  Next, the control unit 10 displays on the display 24 a screen requesting input of the situation parameters as described above from the reporter (step S102).

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the situation parameter input screen 31 of this example. This screen 31 is displayed on the display 24 of the mobile communication terminal when the reporter activates the report application.

  In the display area 32 in the upper area of the screen 31, a plurality of buttons (software buttons; the same applies hereinafter) 32a to 32h on which characters for selection of notification communication events are displayed are displayed. Below the display column 32, a plurality of buttons 33a to 33g on which characters of candidate attribute of the reporter for the report communication event are displayed.

  Various information is displayed in the display column 34 on the left side of the lower area of the screen 31. The display 34a of “current location positioning...” Indicates that the GPS positioning function and the Wi-Fi wireless communication function of the mobile communication terminal are automatically activated when the notification navigation application is activated. Even when the user disables the GPS positioning function or the Wi-Fi wireless communication function for the purpose of power saving, the current position can be quickly and accurately specified. The display column 34b is a display column for captured images, which is not shown in FIG. 4, but a captured image by the camera 15 is displayed in the display column 34b while the camera 15 is activated.

  The display 34c “waiting for outgoing call” also serves as an activation button of the call application, and by touching this, the call application can be activated to make a call. If the telephone number (for example, 110) of the report destination is known and there is no problem in verbally conveying the report contents, the report contents may be transmitted to the report destination by a normal call method.

  In the display area 35 in the lower area of the screen 31, buttons 35 a, 35 b, and 35 c of report destination selection candidates are displayed.

  Next, the control unit 10 determines whether or not the situation parameter selection input by the reporter has been completed (step S103). When the control unit 10 determines that the situation parameter selection input has been completed, a notification message (text information) ) Is generated (step S104). That is, as described above, the situation parameters selected and set by the reporter, text information indicating a report contact event (fire, accident, etc.), information acquired based on the current location as described above, Text information of the notification message is generated from information for explaining the location where the notification contact event has occurred and other information created based on the information acquired from the captured image information captured by the camera 15. As other information, the reporter's name, address, and contact information read from the reporter attribute information storage unit 25 when the reporter's relational attribute about the report communication event or the report is set to be non-anonymous Is also included in the notification message.

  After generating the notification message in step S104, the control unit 10 determines a notification destination and determines a telephone number and an e-mail address as a notification destination (step S105). As described above, when the report destination is selected and set by the reporter, it is determined as the report destination. Even when the report destination is not selected and set by the reporter, when the report destination is a police station or a fire department, they may be automatically determined as the report destination.

  Then, the determined telephone number and e-mail address of the report destination are acquired as described above. That is, when the telephone number or email address of the report destination is stored in the report destination determination unit 18, the stored telephone number or email address is used. In addition, as described above, when the notification navigation apparatus 1 of this embodiment can only use a call function via the IP telephone network having a telephone number starting with 050, a telephone such as the nearest police station or fire station is used. Get a number or email address and use it for reporting. In addition, when moving on a train, it is possible to select the nearest destination station to be moved to as a report destination.

  For example, when making a report on a traveling highway, the emergency road dial (# 9910) may be selected with priority over the nearest facility (service area or the like).

  Next, when the report destination includes an email address, the control unit 10 activates the email application of the mobile communication terminal, sets the report message generated as text information as the email body, and sets the image data as the attached file. An electronic mail is generated and transmitted to the mail address of the report destination (step S106).

  Next, the control unit 10 makes a voice call to the telephone number of the report destination and generates a communication path with the report destination (step S107). When the control unit 10 confirms that the communication with the report destination is possible, the control unit 10 converts the report message generated as text information into voice information using the TTS function, and notifies the report destination (step S108). When a notification is sent by e-mail in advance, a notification message such as “Image attached mail has already been sent to the address of XX @ XXX” is sent.

  Whether the control unit 10 has received a request for re-sending the notification message by recognizing the response contents from the report destination during a call, by recognizing words such as “cannot be heard” or “again” It is determined whether or not (step S109). If it is determined in step S109 that a retransmission request has been received, the control unit 10 returns to step S108 to retransmit the notification message.

  When it is determined in step S109 that the retransmission request has not been received, the control unit 10 determines whether or not a request for a direct conversation with the reporter has been received by recognizing the response content from the report destination during the call. If it is determined that a request for direct conversation has been received (step S111 in FIG. 3), the reporter is notified by voice that a request for direct conversation has been received from the report destination (step S112). At this time, since the communication path has already been generated, the reporter can receive this notification and immediately have a direct conversation with the report destination.

  Then, the control unit 10 waits for disconnection of the other party's speech path (step S113), and ends this processing routine. If it is determined in step S111 that a request for a direct conversation has not been received, the control unit 10 jumps to step S113, waits for the other party to disconnect the communication path, and ends this processing routine.

  It is also possible to output the response content from the report destination as voice via the speaker or earphone of the mobile communication terminal. If it is difficult to transmit the contents of the report, or if more detailed information is requested from the report destination, the voice call may be started as it is. Further, a voice call mode different from the automatic report mode may be provided, and the call with the report destination may be started after changing to the voice call mode.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a state in which various display contents are changed by performing a transmission operation to the report destination in FIG. 4. At this point, both the GPS positioning function and the Wi-Fi wireless communication function are enabled, and the storage of the captured image captured by the camera is started. Further, the reporter operates the button 32a in the report communication event display field 32 to select “fire” as the report communication event, and operates the button 33c in the display field 33 to set the relation attribute of “witness”. As a result of the selection, the background of each button 32a, 33c is inverted to black. In addition, the display column 34 indicates that the telephone call to the fire department that is the report destination corresponding to the selected report notification event “fire” has started.

  In FIG. 5, when a telephone is connected to a fire department as a report destination, the contents of the report are automatically transmitted by voice. After the report is completed, the report navigation application may be manually terminated, or it may be set so that the report navigation application is automatically terminated after a certain period of time has elapsed.
