The present invention relates to a seismic / tsunami warning system and a method using a mobile communication network, in particular, provides a seismic / tsunami generation alarm service to the user of the mobile communication terminal through the wireless communication between the mobile communication system and the observation information server network of the meteorological station seismic station The present invention relates to an earthquake / tsunami warning system using a mobile communication network and a method thereof.

The interest in disaster prevention is increasing due to the improvement of economic level and culture level. As a result, the R & D of related technologies is being actively conducted, but the types of disasters and disasters are gradually diversified due to changes in global weather and social structure. In addition, as the damage scale increases, there is an urgent need for a faster and more effective disaster prevention system.

In the conventional disaster warning system using a mobile communication network, as shown in FIG. 1, mobile communication means including the mobile communication terminal 40 and disaster factors such as the water level station 13a, the rain gauge 13b, or the earthquake station 13c. GIS (11) and mobile communication network (31) for storing and processing terrain information, including operating station computer (10) for receiving observations, mobile communication cell (Cell) information, and the like, connected to the station (13). It consists of a short message service server 30 for transmitting a short message for the disaster alert to the mobile communication terminal 40 through the).

Referring to Figure 1, the operation process of the conventional disaster alarm system, when the disaster observation station 13 transmits the observation signal to the operator computer 10, the operator computer 10 receives the disaster to receive it Determine the risk.

The process of determining whether the operation computer 10 is a disaster risk may vary depending on the type of disaster. However, if the observation value exceeding the limit is received after the threshold value of the observation is largely set, the operation state is judged as a danger state. And, the collected observations can be classified into a method of predicting a risk state by simulating a disaster situation by inputting a pre-established analysis model. Detailed description is omitted since it is implemented in various forms such as an earthquake warning system through seismic observation.

If it is determined by the operating computer (10) that the dangerous state, through the geographic information system 11 to set the dangerous zone and extract the corresponding mobile communication cell (Cell).

The cell information extracted by the geographic information system 11 is transmitted to the SMS server 30 through the Internet 20 by the operating host computer 10 with an alarm message, and the SMS server 30 is a mobile communication network 31. Through), an alarm message is transmitted to all mobile communication terminals 40 in the danger zone or an alarm message is transmitted to a terminal 40 registered in advance.

However, in the conventional disaster warning system, when the earthquake and disaster related information of the Meteorological Agency and the operator computer interlock, and the real time link between the operator computer and the mobile communication network are not available, the timing mismatch and movement of each component is transmitted when the earthquake alarm is transmitted via SMS. Transmission of earthquake / tsunami observation information is delayed due to the transmission delay due to communication network overload delays the response to the earthquake / tsunami of the user of the mobile communication terminal, thereby increasing the risk of large disasters. For example, the Southwest Asia tsunami in December 2004 and the March 2005 earthquake in Japan during the earthquake, domestic SMS earthquake observation information carriers late SMS transmission compared to the earthquake occurrence time.
