Description

  The present invention relates to a power outage information distribution system that provides information to a consumer who is supplied with electric power from an electric power company.

Conventionally, a consumer who receives power supply from an electric power company uses a smartphone (using an internal battery) at the time of a power outage, and operates, for example, by operating a “power outage information” button included on a homepage established by the electric power company. Thus, it is possible to confirm general information such as the number of power outages as the contents of power outages for each prefecture name and city name.
However, if the corresponding consumer (during a power outage) simply checks the homepage, the customer's home is a general failure due to a complete power outage or a partial power outage indoors, or due to a problem with the power transmission facilities of the power company. I could not confirm the details of whether the accident was a power outage.

For this reason, the corresponding customer (during a power outage) can make an inquiry to the electric power company by telephone about the power outage status, but it takes time until the operator can actually respond.
Therefore, in Patent Document 1, for the purpose of promptly notifying the customer of the occurrence of a power outage along with detailed information, a distribution board equipped with a breaker having a power outage detection unit and a transmission unit, and a transmission unit via a fixed telephone line And a customer terminal connected to the server via the network. When the power failure detection unit detects a power failure, the transmission unit notifies the server to that effect. In response to this notification, a power failure information notification system is known in which a server sends an email describing detailed information such as an inquiry destination to a customer terminal registered in a database.
