Further, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-217958, all communication terminals are notified of matters with a high degree of importance in an emergency, and only the communication terminal of the applicant is notified of matters with a low importance. As described above, there is a system that changes a communication terminal to be notified according to the importance of an emergency (see Patent Document 3).
JP 2001-036645 A (paragraph 0016, FIG. 1 etc.) Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2001-216591 (paragraphs 0012 to 0014, FIG. 1, etc.) JP 2001-217958 A (paragraph 0042, FIG. 1 etc.)

  In Patent Documents 1 to 3, notifications of emergency situations such as accidents, earthquakes, and fires are made only to the communication terminals of the parties registered in advance. Therefore, the family members of the parties were not informed of the occurrence of an emergency, but had to be notified directly from the person. In general, when an emergency such as an incident, accident or fire occurs in the immediate vicinity, it has been desired to inform the family members, friends, etc. of the parties concerned.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an emergency information notification system capable of notifying the occurrence of an emergency to other communication terminals grouped in advance such as family members. There is to do.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an emergency center terminal that collects emergency information, a location information management server that manages the locations of a plurality of communication terminals that are grouped and registered in advance, and the emergency center terminal. Based on the emergency notification, a communication terminal located in the danger area where the emergency has occurred is extracted from the location information management server, and the communication terminal in the extracted danger area and the communication terminal of the group to which the communication terminal belongs are extracted. And a provider server device for notifying emergency information.

  The present invention also provides an emergency center terminal that collects emergency information, a location information management server that manages the locations of a plurality of communication terminals that have been registered in advance, and an emergency notification from the emergency center terminal. A communication terminal located in the danger area where the emergency occurred at present is extracted from the location information management server, and a part of the communication terminals in the extracted danger area and the group to which the communication terminal belongs are registered in advance. And an operator server device for notifying emergency information to all communication terminals belonging to the group.

  Furthermore, the present invention provides an emergency center terminal that collects emergency information, a location information management server that manages the locations of a plurality of communication terminals registered in advance as groups, and an emergency notification from the emergency center terminal A communication terminal located in the danger area where the emergency occurred at present is extracted from the location information management server based on the communication information in the danger area extracted according to the importance of the emergency, and the group to which the communication terminal belongs And a provider server device for notifying emergency information to some communication terminals registered in advance or all communication terminals belonging to the group.

  According to the present invention, the user who owns the communication terminal can immediately know the emergency that is happening in the immediate vicinity, so that not only can the safety of the user be secured, but also the user can automatically communicate his danger without calling. It is also possible to notify the communication terminal of a group registered by a family member. For example, if you register as a group with your family, you can know the family of the parent who is not at risk that the child is in danger, so even if the child can not contact, you can call the parent from the parent, Convenience can be improved.

  Next, the best mode for carrying out the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of an emergency information notification system according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 100 denotes a user terminal having a communication function such as a mobile phone owned by a service user, and 400 denotes a designated terminal having a communication function such as a mobile phone designated in advance by the service user. The designated terminal 400 is, for example, a terminal of a person designated in advance by the owner of the user terminal 100 such as a family member or a friend.

  The user terminal 100 and the designated terminal 400 are registered in advance with a service provider that manages and manages the emergency information notification system, and receive an emergency information notification service when an emergency occurs as will be described later. As a relationship between the user terminal 100 and the designated terminal 400, for example, a group registered as a discount service for a mobile phone by a family can be registered as a user terminal and a designated terminal.

  For example, there is a method in which a child in a family owns a user terminal and other mothers, fathers, etc. register as having designated terminals. Of course, user terminals and designated terminals may be registered in groups other than this, or a plurality of communication terminals may be grouped and registered as user terminals without distinguishing between user terminals and designated terminals. May be.

  Reference numeral 300 denotes an emergency center terminal that collects information on emergency situations, such as incidents, accidents, fires, and other disasters, as well as information on emergency situations related to traffic, weather, and the like, location / area (area), and the like. 250 is a location information management server device that manages location information of the user terminal 100, and 200 is a business that notifies the user terminal 100 or the designated terminal 400 of emergency information when receiving an emergency occurrence notification from the emergency center terminal 300. Server server device. The service provider server 200, the location information management server apparatus 250, and the like are operated by a service provider. A communication network 500 connects the user terminal 100, the designated terminal 400, the provider server device 200, the location information management server device 250, and the emergency center terminal device 300 to each other. In addition, although the provider server device 200 and the location information management server device 250 are separate server devices, the provider server device 200 may have the function of the location information management server device 250.

  Next, the operation of the emergency information notification system of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, the emergency center terminal 300 constantly collects emergency information such as emergency situations (incidents / accidents / disasters / traffic / weather) from the police station, fire station, transportation, or weather station via the communication network 500. Further, the location information management server device 250 manages the location of the user terminal 100 and the designated terminal 400 based on location information from those terminals. Or you may manage by the positional information provision from an operator.

  When the emergency center terminal 300 is delayed in an emergency situation, for example, an incident, an accident, a fire, a natural disaster, a traffic network failure, a train accident or the like, and receives the emergency contact, the operator server device via the communication network 500 200 is notified of the occurrence of an emergency (S100). This notification content includes specific information on the emergency situation, occurrence time, location information such as the location (address, area (area)) of the emergency occurrence, and the like.

Upon receipt of the emergency notification, the business entity server device 200 receives from the location information management server device 250 the user terminal 100 registered as a group and all the designated terminals 400 within an area such as the address of the occurrence location and the region. Is extracted (S101). That is, the location information management server 250 knows the current location (area) of the user terminal 100 and its designated terminal 400, and the user terminal 100 or designated terminal currently located in the address / area (area) where the emergency occurred. 400 is extracted.

  As a method of managing the current position of the user terminal 100 or the designated terminal 400, it is desirable to perform position management more accurately by mounting a GPS system on the terminal, for example. In addition, the area managed by the base station can be set as a unit of the terminal position. When managing the terminal position using the GPS system, the danger area is determined centering on the emergency occurrence position, for example, within a radius of 100 m, within 200 m, within 300 m, etc., centering on the emergency occurrence position. The user terminal 100 and the designated terminal 400 currently in the dangerous area are extracted.

  In addition, when managing the location of a terminal using an area under the jurisdiction of a mobile phone base station or the like, for example, an area including an emergency occurrence location or an area adjacent to the emergency occurrence location may be dangerous. The area is determined, and the user terminal 100 and the designated terminal 100 currently located in the danger area are extracted. Further, the danger area may be determined based on the municipality or ward where the emergency occurred.

  Next, the business entity server device 200 selects a notification level for notifying each of the user terminals 100 including the designated terminal 400 of the emergency according to the importance of the emergency (S102). In the present embodiment, the notification level is, for example, three levels of low level, medium level, and high level, and a terminal to be notified is selected according to the level.

  When the notification level is low, only the terminal currently in the dangerous area is notified of the contents of the emergency, and when the notification level is medium, the terminal in the current dangerous area and the terminals of the group to which the terminal belongs in advance. Notify registered terminals of emergency situation. When the notification level is high, the contents of the emergency are notified to the terminal currently in the dangerous area and all the terminals to which the terminal belongs.

  Here, the low notification level corresponds to a case where there is no danger of life, for example, an incident such as snatching or a traffic accident occurs, and the user currently in the danger area is cautioned.

  The notification level is a case where the daily life is seriously affected, for example, when a disaster such as a fire or a landslide occurs and a user currently located in the dangerous area is notified of an emergency. In this case, as described above, the emergency information is also notified to a previously registered terminal among the groups to which the terminal currently located in the dangerous area belongs.

  The high notification level corresponds to a case where there is a risk of life, for example, a serious incident such as a standing incident occurs, and the user currently in the danger area is notified of the danger. In this case, as described above, the occurrence of an emergency situation is also notified to all terminals of the group to which the terminal currently located in the dangerous area belongs.

  When the notification level is low, the emergency information is notified only to the user terminal 100 or the designated terminal 400 currently in the emergency occurrence area (S103). For example, if the user terminal 100 owned by the mother among the terminals registered as a group is in the danger area, the emergency information is notified only to the user terminal 100.

  Further, it is determined whether there is a notification request from the user terminal 100 to the designated terminal 400 for this emergency information notification (S104), and when there is a request for emergency information notification to the designated terminal 400, other designated terminals 400 notifies the emergency information and the fact that the user terminal 100 as the mother is currently located in the danger area (S105). For example, when an incident such as snatching or a traffic accident occurs, the user who is currently in the danger area is notified of the occurrence of the incident or accident, and urges attention.

  Next, when it is in the notification level, the emergency information is notified to the user terminal 100 or the designated terminal 400 in the emergency occurrence area and a part of the designated terminal 400 registered in advance (S106). For example, among the terminals registered as a group, when the user terminal 100 owned by a child is currently located in the danger area, the user terminal 100 and a designated terminal 400 registered in advance, for example, a mother The designated terminal 400 owned is notified of the emergency information and the fact that the child user terminal 100 is in the danger area.

  In addition, it is determined whether there is a notification request from the user terminal 100 or the designated terminal 400 in the danger area to all the remaining terminals of the group to which the terminal belongs in response to the emergency information notification (S107). If there is a request for emergency information notification to all terminals, the emergency information and the fact that the child user terminal 100 is currently located in the dangerous area are notified to all other designated terminals 400 (S108). .

  For example, if a child owns the user terminal 100 and a mother owns one of the designated terminals 400, the child of the user terminal 100 may experience a fire, landslide, etc. on a school road (included in the danger area) during school leaving. When a disaster occurs, the occurrence and location of the disaster are notified to the child of the user terminal 100 currently located in the danger area. In this case, the child of the user terminal 100 can go home avoiding the disaster site. In addition, by notifying the mother's designated terminal 400 of this fact, it is possible to contact the child and go back.

  Further, when the notification level is high, the emergency information is notified to all the user terminals 100 and the designated terminals 400 registered as a group (S109). Moreover, the reply information (confirmation information) from the user terminal 100 or the designated terminal 400 in the danger area is confirmed (S110), and the remaining user terminal 100 or the designated terminal 400 is notified of the presence or absence of the reply information (S111). . For example, it is assumed that a user terminal 100 owned by a child is in a danger area among terminals registered as a group, and if there is reply information from the user terminal 100, the remaining designated terminal 400 can be safely If there is no reply information, this is notified.

  For example, assuming that the user terminal 100 is owned by a child and the designated terminal 100 is owned by a father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, etc., of the child's family, the user terminal 100 stands at the place where the child went to play. When a forest case or the like occurs, the child of the user terminal 100 in the danger area is notified of the occurrence of the case. In this case, the emergency information is notified not only to the user terminal 100 but also to all other designated terminals 400. The child of the user terminal 100 that has received the emergency information can hurry away from the scene of the incident, and the child of the user terminal 100 returns a message to the operator server device 200 that the child terminal 100 is okay. By doing so, safety information is automatically notified from the provider server device 200 to the designated terminals 400 of all the others.

  In addition, when a child of the user terminal 100 enters the scene of the incident and encounters a criminal who is standing up, a notification sound for seeking help from the neighborhood can be generated by a simple method of terminal operation. Is possible. Furthermore, when the worst situation occurs and the child of the user terminal 100 is caught by the criminal, the operator server device 200 can be notified of the occurrence of an emergency by operating one button on the terminal, The information can be immediately notified from the provider server device 200 to another designated terminal 400.

  Here, after the occurrence of an emergency situation (incident, accident, disaster, traffic, weather, etc.), the business operator server device 200 monitors the danger area and uses the user based on information from the location information management server device 250. When the terminal 100 or the designated terminal 400 enters the danger area, the terminal 100 or the designated terminal 400 may be controlled to perform a specific operation. That is, when the user tries to enter the danger area, the user may be alerted by a specific operation of the terminal.

  Specifically, when it is better to ask for help in the vicinity with a loud notification sound, it is preferable to control the user terminal 100 or the designated terminal 400 to output the notification sound. In this case, the user terminal 100 and the designated terminal 400 perform such control by receiving a specific code from the business server apparatus 200. On the other hand, when it should be quietly notified of the occurrence of an incident, accident, etc., it is preferable to notify by displaying the terminal or emitting light. It is assumed that pressing any key during an emergency call from the business server apparatus 200 informs the user of his / her danger, and a notification is given to a grouped terminal such as a family through the business server apparatus 200.

  In the above embodiment, the notification level is set to three levels of low, medium, and high. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and more levels may be set and managed more finely. In addition, it was explained that the notification level changes according to the importance of incidents, accidents, etc., but if there is any one user registered as a group in the danger area, regardless of the importance, The emergency information may be notified to terminals of all users in the group to which the user belongs. In this case, it is better to inform the user currently in the danger area.

  In addition, the present invention is not limited to the importance of an incident or accident, and the notification level may be changed according to the distance from the occurrence site of the incident or accident to the current position of the user. More specifically, for example, when there is a user within a radius of 100m centering on the site where an incident or accident occurred, the notification level is high, and if the radius is within 300m, the notification level is medium and the radius is within 500m. If so, the notification level is determined to be a low level. The notification level is selected in S102 of FIG. 2, and thereafter, the user who notifies the emergency information is selected according to the selected notification level as described in FIG.

It is a block diagram which shows the structure of one Embodiment of the emergency information notification system of this invention. It is a flowchart explaining operation | movement of embodiment of FIG.
