 通信端末40は、緊急警報を受信すると、無人航空機20の落下(無人航空機20が緊急状態であること)をユーザに通知する。例えば、通信端末40は、地震津波警報とは異なる警告音を出力することにより、無人航空機20の落下をユーザに通知する。当該警告音は、無人航空機20の故障レベルに応じたメロディ、音量、トーンまたは長さであってもよい。また、通信端末40は、受信した緊急警報を表示することにより、無人航空機20の落下をユーザに通知する。このとき、通信端末40は、緊急警報に含まれる無人航空機20の位置情報を地図上に表示してもよい。また、通信端末40は、ユーザを安全な場所に退避させるため、近隣の避難場所を地図上に表示してもよい。 When receiving the emergency alert, the communication terminal 40 notifies the user that the unmanned aircraft 20 has been dropped (the unmanned aircraft 20 is in an emergency state). For example, the communication terminal 40 notifies the user that the unmanned aircraft 20 has fallen by outputting a warning sound different from the earthquake tsunami warning. The warning sound may be a melody, a volume, a tone, or a length according to the failure level of the unmanned aircraft 20. Further, the communication terminal 40 notifies the user that the unmanned aircraft 20 has been dropped by displaying the received emergency alert. At this time, the communication terminal 40 may display the position information of the unmanned aircraft 20 included in the emergency alert on the map.
