  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the user search support service process in the center system 6 (CPU 701). First, the communication control unit 71 monitors communication access (step S11).

  Subsequently, when receiving communication access (step S11: Yes determination), the communication control unit 71 determines whether transmission data from the access source is wireless tag reception information (step S12). When there is no communication access (step S11: No determination), the communication access is continuously monitored.

  It is assumed that transmission data from the access source is wireless tag reception information (step S12: Yes determination). In that case, the wireless tag information processing unit 72 subsequently reads the manufacturing number (information) of the wireless tag 5 in the wireless tag reception information, and whether the read manufacturing number (information) is registered in the search request table T5. Is determined by inquiring the table operation unit 74 (step S13).

  Here, when a result of “not applicable” is returned from the table operation unit 74 (step S13: No determination), the wireless tag information processing unit 72 deletes the wireless tag reception information (step S14). After the processing in step S14, the CPU 701 performs the processing from step S11 in the same manner.

  On the other hand, it is assumed that the table operation unit 74 extracts a record corresponding to the manufacturing number (information) of the wireless tag 5 from the search request table T5 and returns a result of the corresponding presence (step S13: Yes determination). In that case, the wireless tag information processing unit 72 continues to read the user IDs of the requester and collaborator associated with the manufacturing number (information) of the wireless tag in the extracted record, and the wireless tag The user ID in the received information is compared (step S15).

  Here, it is assumed that the user ID does not correspond to any of the user IDs of the requester and the collaborator (step S15: Yes determination). In this case, the wireless tag information processing unit 72 determines that the access source is the volunteer terminal 3, and passes the processing to the search information processing unit 75 functioning as “first notification means”. Thereby, the search information processing part 75 operates the timer of the time measuring part 76 (step S16), and push-notifies the third notification event to the access source via the notification processing part 73 (step S17).

  On the other hand, it is assumed that the user ID corresponds to any one of the requester and the collaborator (step S15: No determination). In this case, the wireless tag information processing unit 72 determines that the access source is the requester terminal 1 or the collaborator terminal 2, functions as a “second notification unit”, and notifies that the search target person is in the vicinity. One notification event is pushed to the access source via the notification processing unit 73 (step S18).

  In addition, CPU701 performs similarly the process from step S11, after the process of step S17 and step S18 is complete | finished.

  Next, it is assumed that the communication control unit 71 receives communication access (step S11: Yes determination) and further determines that the transmission data of the access source is search information (step S12: No determination). In that case, the search information processing unit 75 subsequently determines whether or not the time keeping time (response time) of the time keeping unit 76 operated in step S16 is within a predetermined time (step S19). For example, the search information processing unit 75 acquires the time measured by the timer with the same ID that is operated at the time of notification based on the user ID of the search information transmission source.

  The search information processing unit 75 then searches the search information from the access source using the search information (path) d54 in the search request table T5 when the timed time is within a predetermined time such as 5 minutes (step S19: Yes determination). Store in the indicated storage location (step S20).

  The search information processing unit 75 functions as an “exclusion means” that excludes the search information from the target to be provided to the requester and the collaborator when the predetermined time has elapsed (step S19: No determination). The search information from the access source is discarded (step S21).

  CPU701 performs the process from step S11 similarly, after the process of step S20 and step S21 is complete | finished.

  Next, search information generation processing that is performed when the third notification event is received in the volunteer terminal 3 (CPU 101) will be described.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of search information generation processing. In the description of the flowchart, FIGS. 7, 11, and 12 are referred to as appropriate.

  First, the second communication control unit 14 monitors the incoming notification including the third notification event (step S31). If there is no incoming notification including the third notification event (step S31: No determination), monitoring continues until there is an incoming call. When a notification including a third notification event is received (step S31: Yes determination), the communication application is activated and the communication application function unit 15 is configured (step S32). Then, as an event process corresponding to the third notification event, the communication application function unit 15 sounds the third notification sound of the speaker 108 for a predetermined time and causes the display display 250 to display the search information generation screen G1 (see FIG. 7) ( Step S33).

  Subsequently, the communication application function unit 15 determines whether or not there is a text input instruction (step S34). Specifically, when the input reception unit 11 receives a touch operation of the comment posting key K1 on the search information generation screen G1, the communication application function unit 15 determines that a text input instruction has been given (step S34: Yes). Judgment).

  On the other hand, when the touch operation of the comment posting key K1 is not performed (step S34: No determination), the communication application function unit 15 subsequently determines whether or not there is an image input instruction (step S38). Specifically, the communication application function unit 15 determines that there has been an instruction to input an image when the input receiving unit 11 receives a touch operation of the image posting key K2 on the search information generation screen G1 (step S38: Yes). Judgment).

  On the other hand, when the touch operation of the image posting key K2 is not performed (step S38: No determination), the communication application function unit 15 determines whether or not there is a transmission instruction (step S43). Specifically, the communication application function unit 15 determines that there is a transmission instruction when the input reception unit 11 receives a touch operation of the transmission key K3 on the search information generation screen G1 (step S43: Yes). Judgment).

  On the other hand, when the touch operation of the transmission key K3 is not performed (step S43: No determination), the communication application function unit 15 returns to step S34 and performs the same processing.

  Assume that the input receiving unit 11 receives a touch operation of the comment posting key K1 on the search information generation screen G1 (step S34: Yes determination). In that case, the communication application function part 15 starts a text input function, and receives the text input from a user (volunteer) (step S35). Then, the communication application function unit 15 determines whether there is a confirmation instruction (step S36). Specifically, the communication application function unit 15 receives the touch operation of the confirmation key K4 (see FIG. 12) on the search information generation screen G1 (see FIG. 12) when the input reception unit 11 receives the communication application function unit 15. Determines that there is a confirmation instruction (step S36: Yes determination). If the communication application function unit 15 determines that there is no confirmation instruction (step S36: No determination), the communication application function unit 15 returns to step S35 and continues to accept text input.

  It is assumed that the input accepting unit 11 accepts a touch operation of the confirmation key K4 (step S36: Yes determination). In that case, the communication application function unit 15 stores the text H1 (see FIG. 12) received from the user in the RAM 102 as a post comment (step S37). Then, after storing the posted comment, the communication application function unit 15 returns to Step S34 and repeats the process.

  It is assumed that the touch operation of the image posting key K2 (see FIG. 7) is received in the input receiving unit 11 (step S38: Yes determination). In that case, the communication application function unit 15 activates the imaging function, drives the camera module 105 to read the captured image, and adjusts the display size of the image display area E3 on the search information generation screen G1 (see FIG. 11). The captured image is output to the display 250 (step S39).

  Subsequently, the communication application function unit 15 determines whether or not there is a shooting instruction (step S40). Specifically, the communication application function unit 15 has received a shooting instruction when the input receiving unit 11 receives a touch operation of the shooting key K6 (see FIG. 11) on the search information generation screen G1 (see FIG. 11). It determines with a thing (step S40: Yes determination).

  Assume that the input receiving unit 11 receives a touch operation of the photographing key K6 (step S40: Yes determination). In that case, the communication application function unit 15 stores the captured image when the touch operation of the shooting key K6 is performed in the RAM 102 as a posted image (step S41), returns to step S39, and repeats the process.

  On the other hand, when the touch operation of the photographing key K6 is not performed (step S40: No determination), the communication application function unit 15 determines whether there is an instruction to end the image posting (step S42). Specifically, the communication application function unit 15 instructs the end of shooting when the input receiving unit 11 receives a touch operation of the end key K5 (see FIG. 11) on the search information generation screen G1 (see FIG. 11). (Step S42: Yes determination). In this case, the communication application function unit 15 returns to step S34 and repeats the process. On the other hand, when the touch operation of the end key K5 is not performed (step S42: No determination), the communication application function unit 15 returns to step S39 and repeats the process.

  Assume that the input receiving unit 11 receives a touch operation on the transmission key K3 (step S43: Yes determination). In that case, the communication application function unit 15 generates search information data including a post comment and one or a plurality of post images stored in the RAM 102 (step S44), and transmits the search information data to the center system 6 for the second time. The communication control unit 14 is instructed (step S45).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a display example at the time of image input of the search information generation screen G1. The shaded portion shown in FIG. 11 indicates that a key operation has been performed.

  The search information generation screen G1 shown in FIG. 11 shows a state in which a through image H2 is displayed in the image display area E3 when the image posting key K2 is touched. In this example, a still image can be stored in the RAM 102 by touching the photographing key K6 shown in the image display area E3.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a display example when a comment is input to the search information generation screen G1. The search information generation screen G1 shown in FIG. 12 shows a state in which the text input in the comment input area E2 can be accepted by the touch operation of the comment posting key K1. In the comment input area E2, text H1 in which the user (volunteer) commented on the surrounding situation is shown. By touching the confirmation key K4 shown in FIG. 12, the text H1 is stored in the RAM 102 as a posted comment.

(Whole system operation)
Next, the operation of the entire system will be described. In the following description, the client terminal 1, the collaborator terminal 2, and the volunteer terminal 3 download the communication application from a predetermined website and install it on each terminal, and the user ID to the communication application. It is assumed that the setting of has been completed.

  FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating an example of the overall operation flow of the deaf person search support system X. First, the requester Q1 makes a search request to the center system 6 from the terminal (that is, the requester terminal 1) (step S101). Specifically, the client terminal 1 accesses the center system 6, and the user ID set by the client Q1 in the communication application, the user ID set in the communication application of the collaborator Q2 designated by the client Q1, The manufacturing number (information) of the wireless tag to be searched among the wireless tags with which the client Q1 has contracted is transmitted to the center system 6 as search request notification information.

  When the center system 6 receives the search request notification information, the center system 6 registers the search request information in the search request table T5 (step S102).

  Thereafter, when the transmission information from the search target wireless tag arrives, the client terminal 1 transmits the wireless tag reception information generated based on the transmission information to the center system 6 (step S103).

  When the received wireless tag reception information includes the manufacturing number (information) of the search target wireless tag, the center system 6 registers the position information and time information in the wireless tag reception information in the time series file of the search request table T5. . Then, the center system 6 compares the user IDs of the requester Q1 and the collaborator Q2 associated with the manufacturing number (information) in the search request table T5 with the user ID in the wireless tag reception information. Then, it is determined whether the user is a volunteer Q3 (step S104).

  In this case, since the user ID of the requester Q1 is included in the wireless tag reception information, it is determined that it is not the volunteer Q3 (step S104), and the center system 6 notifies the requester terminal 1 of the first notification event. (Step S105).

  Even when the transmission information from the search target wireless tag arrives at the collaborator terminal 2, the collaborator terminal 2 transmits the wireless tag reception information to the center system 6 (step S106). Then, the center system 6 performs the same process as step S104 (step S107). Specifically, in the determination process of the center system 6, since the user ID of the collaborator Q2 is included in the wireless tag reception information, it is determined that the collaborator Q3 is not a volunteer Q3 (step S107), and the first notification event is confirmed as a collaborator. The terminal 2 is notified (step S108).

  Even when the volunteer terminal 3 receives outgoing information from the search target wireless tag, the volunteer terminal 3 transmits the wireless tag reception information to the center system 6 (step S109). Then, the center system 6 performs the same process as step S104 (step S110). Specifically, in the determination process of the center system 6, since the wireless tag reception information does not include the user IDs of the requester Q1 and the collaborator Q2, the transmission source is determined to be the volunteer Q3 (step S110), A third notification event is notified to the volunteer terminal 3 (step S111).

  When the third notification event is notified, the volunteer terminal 3 generates search information (step S112). For example, the volunteer terminal 3 generates search information by photographing a surrounding image or inputting a comment about the surrounding state.

  Then, the volunteer terminal 3 posts the generated search information to the center system 6 (step S113).

  The center system 6 adds the search information posted from the volunteer terminal 3 to the corresponding search request information in the search request table T5 (step S114). For example, the search information is added as a material to the storage location specified in the search information (path) of the corresponding search request information (record).

  Then, the center system 6 notifies the client terminal 1 of the second notification event (step S115). At this time, in the center system 6, the search information processing unit 75 functions as a “third notification unit” and pushes the second notification event to the client terminal 1 via the notification processing unit 73. The center system 6 may be set to notify the cooperator terminal 2 of the second notification event.

  Upon receiving the second notification event at the client terminal 1, the client Q1 accesses the center system 6 and browses public information for the client Q1 (step S116). Specifically, the client terminal 1 requests the public information corresponding to the user ID of the client Q1 from the center system 6. Then, the public information generation unit 77 (see FIG. 6) uses the public information (search information) based on the time series file and the search information of the storage location specified in the record corresponding to the user ID in the search request table T5 (see FIG. 5). HTML file). The client terminal 1 acquires the HTML file, reads the captured image and comment information specified by the path in the HTML, and displays the public information in a predetermined layout on the screen.

  FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a display example when public information is displayed on the client terminal 1. The public information R shown in FIG. 14 includes wireless tag reception information (position information and time information) from the requester terminal 1, the collaborator terminal 2, the volunteer terminal 3, and the communication device 4 that have received the transmission information from the search target wireless tag. The center system 6 is obtained by superimposing plots r1, r2, r3, r4, r5,... Representing the position of each person on the time map on the area map including each position information. It is. Time information of each plot r1, r2,... Is represented by a balloon.

  The plot r5 of this indicates that search information has been posted from the volunteer terminal 3, and in this example, post information (post image H2 and post comment H1) is displayed in a balloon.

(Modification)
In 1st Embodiment, the time measuring part was provided in the center system, and the reception period of the search information posted from a volunteer terminal with respect to the notification of a 3rd alerting | reporting event was restrict | limited within predetermined time. However, the volunteer terminal may be modified to limit the generation period of the search information within a predetermined time.

  Specifically, a timekeeping unit is provided in the volunteer terminal by software or hardware. And if a 3rd alerting | reporting event arrives, a communication application function part will operate the time measuring part, and will measure elapsed time. The communication application function unit monitors the operation of the transmission key K3 on the search information generation screen G1 (see FIG. 11) for a predetermined time, and when the predetermined time elapses without the transmission key K3 being operated, the deaf person moves away from the vicinity of the volunteer. It is determined that the user has moved, and the process related to the search information generation screen G1 is forcibly terminated. This prevents posting of unnecessary information after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  In the present embodiment, the wireless tag of the BLE communication standard is described as an example of the wireless tag, but the present invention is not limited to this. As long as the wireless tag is a device that transmits identification information or the like, other communication means may be used. For example, non-contact radio (NFC) or RFID may be used.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when a notification is received from the center system, a volunteer inputs peripheral search information at the owning terminal without obtaining personal information of the search target person. Search information input by volunteers is managed in the center system, and the public information of the search target person including the search information and personal information is restricted to browsing by specific persons such as requesters and cooperators. This makes it possible for volunteers to participate in the search while ensuring the safety of the search target person.

  In the present embodiment, an example in which each unit is realized by cooperation of the above-described functional unit and hardware has been described. However, part or all of the above-described functional unit may be realized by hardware.

  The program executed in the present embodiment is provided by being incorporated in advance in a memory unit such as a ROM, but is not limited to this. The program executed in this embodiment may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium and provided as a computer program product. For example, a file in an installable format or an executable format may be provided by being recorded on a recording medium such as a flexible disk, a CD-R, a DVD (Digital Versatile Disk), a Blu-ray Disc (registered trademark), or a semiconductor memory. Good.

  In addition, the program executed in the present embodiment may be stored on a computer connected to a network such as the Internet and provided by being downloaded via the network. The program executed in this embodiment may be configured to be provided or distributed via a network such as the Internet.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this embodiment is shown as an example and can abbreviate | omit, replace, and change variously in the range which does not deviate from the summary of invention.
