Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an earthquake warning system and method, and in particular, to a seismic warning system and method incorporating a plurality of sensing devices. [First 4ίι技术] The cause of the earthquake is mostly due to the continuous squeezing of the plates of different natures to accumulate deformation energy, and after exceeding the extent that the rock can tolerate, the accumulated deformation energy is released instantaneously. Taiwan is located in the Pacific Rim, because the adjacent Eurasian plate and the Philippine sea plate are constantly moving and pushing collisions, so the energy is continuously accumulated and released, causing the earthquake to occur repeatedly. With population growth and economic development, Taiwan's population and various constructions are concentrated in the western half of the urban area, so it is easy to cause huge loss of life and property in the event of an earthquake. In addition, the earthquake is also prone to a tsunami and invade coastal areas. For example, the tsunami in South Asia caused by the earthquake at the end of 2004 hit the coastal areas of Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Maldives and other countries and the life of the island is difficult to estimate. loss. In order to be able to detect the occurrence of an earthquake and achieve the function of early warning, many related devices and systems have been proposed. For example, NAS A/JPL's "Southern Califrann Integrated GPS Network (SCIGN)" is based on long-term, multi-point GPS observations, 200847073 to detect the movement of the crust, to analyze Southern California crustal stress concentration, the main predictor of the morning can be a precursor to this. However, the information detected by this plan can only be regarded as a precursor to the possible earthquake, or there is no way to use it to predict the earthquake. Even if the analysis determines that an earthquake may occur, the location and intensity of the earthquake cannot be accurately reported. time. Although it is not feasible to accurately predict earthquakes, it is an "earthquake alert". Even if the warning alert can only be advanced a little earlier, you can still make a correct judgment 'prepare for early escape and reduce damage to life and property. Therefore, the alarm system should be designed to "get every precious second" and inform the user of the earthquake. Therefore, the seismic sensor is very sensitive to detect small possible seismic waves. The result is more likely to be interfered by noise, and the more likely it is to have a "false alarm", such noise interference can contain many possibilities, γ. J Moon, for example, electromagnetic waves cause noise in the sensing circuit, people or animals running through, jet aircraft sonic boom, gun and bamboo explosion, heavy vehicles passing, nearby guards The Republic of China Patent Announcement No. 3 Η ii ii Brigade, 1 Earthquake Discriminating Device and the application of the device's gas meter 肀 肀 了 了 了 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震 地震Determine if there is an I earthquake. However, since the amplitude and period of the vibration occurring on the ground ^, the location of the ground may be different at the time of the earthquake, it is easy to cause misjudgment by discriminating the earthquake by the vibration of the early position. (7) Push [Summary] 7 , 200847073 > Therefore, one of the challenges of the present invention is to provide a "reliable" earthquake warning system. "The earthquake warning system according to the present invention includes multiple detection garments. It can accurately judge the possibility of earthquake information reducing misjudgment. Moreover, the earthquake warning system of the present invention also includes multiple (five) communication devices for the purpose of quickly and safely issuing an earthquake alarm. A seismic warning system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of first detecting devices, a processing device, a first communication device, and a second communication device. Each of the first detecting devices is disposed with a predetermined distance apart to sense a seismic wave, and generates a first signal according to the seismic wave and the time information, respectively. The processing device is separately connected to the first detecting devices for receiving the first signals, and generates an alert signal according to a criterion. The first communication device is communicatively coupled to the processing device for receiving the alert message and transmitting the alert signal to a remote receiving station. The second communication device is also communicatively coupled to the processing device for receiving the alert signal and transmitting the alert signal to the remote receiving station. A seismic warning system according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of first detecting devices, a second detecting device, a processing device, a land-based communication device, and a satellite communication device. Each of the first detecting devices is disposed at a predetermined distance to sense a seismic wave, and generates a first signal according to the seismic wave and the time information, respectively. The processing device is respectively connected to the first detecting device and the 8.200847073 first detecting device for receiving the first signal and the second signal, and the data signal generates a warning signal. . The land-based communication device communication device 4 is configured to receive the warning signal and transmit the warning signal to a remote receiving station via a radio wave transmission network. The satellite communication package sample communication is connected to the processing device for receiving the warning message, and the warning signal is transmitted to the remote receiving station through a satellite. Another aspect of the present invention is to provide a seismic alert method. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the following steps: first, sensing a seismic wave, and generating a plurality of first signals according to the seismic wave and a time information; subsequently, receiving the first signals, and according to The criterion generates a warning signal; and transmits the warning signal to a remote receiving station through a radio wave transmitting network and a satellite respectively. The advantages and spirit of the present invention will be further understood from the following detailed description of the invention. [Embodiment] Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a functional block diagram of an earthquake warning system (earthquake warning) according to a specific embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, in the specific embodiment The earthquake alarm system i according to the present invention includes three first detecting devices (1), a processing device (i), a first communication device (16), and a second communication device. Device 18. The three first detecting devices 10 are arranged at a predetermined distance, and a seismic wave is sensed by using 9 200847073, and a first signal is generated according to the seismic wave and a time information, respectively. The processing device 14 is respectively connected to or electrically connected to the three first detecting devices 10 for receiving the first signals and generating an alert signal according to a criterion. The first communication device 16 is communicatively coupled to the processing device for receiving the alert signal and transmitting the alert signal to a remote receiving station 30. The second communication device 18 is also communicably connected to the processing device μ, and can also be used to receive the warning signal, and then transmit the warning signal to the remote receiving station 30. In the specific embodiment, the three first detecting devices 1 further include an accelerometer (1) and a processor (not shown). The force speed gauge 1 G4 can sense the surface inertial acceleration value caused by the s-shock wave, and the processor can process the acceleration value sensed by the acceleration I 104, and generate the first according to the acceleration value and the time A signal. In the specific embodiment, the first detecting device of the present invention further includes an electronic clock in the global positioning system _) receiver 1G2. Using the GPS receiver 1G2, in addition to providing location information, Luo 7 Α Λ one, can output very accurate time information, so loyal to some brothers ^ (贞 装 装 1 Λ Λ η η η 、 ^, Although far apart, there are very fine + Ik % of the same time, one minute before the thunder. The error between the sub-μ ' usually does not exceed the actual application of running, gun explosion, shock wave and error In order to avoid the detection of the source of interference, such as the passage of animal heavy vehicles, construction vibrations, etc., the warning caused 'caused panic', the predetermined distance between the first detecting devices 10 10 200847073 2 must be long enough. In practical applications The predetermined distance can be between 30 and 5G meters (depending on the convenience of the building, select the appropriate position ^). This distance makes the aforementioned noise interference not happen at the same time: The measuring device 'however, because the seismic wave velocity is much larger than the interference, the first detecting device can feel the earthquake almost simultaneously. - Thereby, the processing device 14 can be based on the first detecting device produce The first signal is used to determine whether an earthquake has occurred. For example, when the three first detecting devices are respectively disposed at a distance of 5 mm apart, when an earthquake occurs, the three first detecting devices should be able to The earthquake signal 2 and the time information of the measured seismic wave generate a first signal. Therefore, when only one of the first detecting devices detects the seismic wave, the processing device 14 can determine that the seismic wave may be due to an animal or a heavy vehicle. The earthquake detecting system of the present invention further includes a second detecting device electrically connected to each of the first detecting devices and the second detecting device is generated by the first detecting device. In particular, in the present embodiment, the second detecting device includes a global positioning system receiver disposed on a target, such as the first detecting device or the second detecting device itself. And coordinate with the satellite to locate the coordinates of the target. Therefore, when an earthquake occurs, the second detecting device can obtain the amount of movement according to the change of the coordinates of the target. In the embodiment, the time information can be provided by the second detecting device. 11 200847073 Since the seismic wave generated by the earthquake is very fast (about 6 kilometers per second), the first detecting device ίο should be able to be at the same time interval. The sensing device 14 can determine whether the first detecting device ι〇 finds external vibration at the same time according to the time information included in the first signal generated by the first detecting device iq, for example, The error must be within eight thousandths of a second to determine the authenticity of the first signal, to achieve accurate judgment and reduce misjudgment. In practical applications, the aforementioned warning signal includes the location information of the first detecting device, The intensity information of the seismic wave and the time information. In practical applications, the first communication device of the present invention may include a radio wave transmitting device 'for transmitting the warning signal to the radio wave transmission network, such as an ultra high frequency (Ultra) High Frequency, UHF) radio wave transmission network, a Very High FreqUency (VHF) radio wave transmission network, a mobile telephone communication network, and a solid Telephone network and the like, transmitted to the distal end station. In a practical application, the second communication device of the present invention may include a satellite signal transmitting device for transmitting the warning signal to a satellite, such as a maritime satellite, to the remote receiving station.
