  In response to this, the acquisition unit 25 of the information providing server 20 acquires contact information from the contact terminal (S102: YES). Then, the acquisition unit 25 stores the confirmation target number in the contact DB in association with the contact number of the contact information (S103).

  In this way, according to the contact information received from the confirmation target terminal 50 and the contact terminal, the confirmation target number and the contact number are associated with each other and stored in the contact DB, and the contact DB is created.

  FIG. 6 shows that when the alarm information is distributed from the alarm distribution server 10 to the base station 30 existing in the earthquake occurrence area, the safety information from the confirmation target terminal 50 that received the alarm information is notified. It is a flowchart which shows the process sequence provided to a contact address from the information provision server 20 according to destination DB. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an input screen for inputting input information in the confirmation target terminal 50.

  As shown in FIG. 6, in the confirmation target terminal 50, the alarm determination unit 64 receives alarm information from the alarm distribution server 10 (S 201: YES), and displays the alarm information on the liquid crystal display panel 59. Thereby, the person to be confirmed can see the alarm information and cope with it.

  Further, the alarm determination unit 64 extracts the seismic intensity of the earthquake from the alarm information, and compares the seismic intensity with a predetermined threshold (for example, seismic intensity 5). If the seismic intensity is greater than 5 as a result of the comparison, the alarm determination unit 64 determines that the importance is high (S202: YES).

  When the alarm determination unit 64 determines that the degree of importance is high, the generation unit 65 obtains a position signal indicating the current position of the confirmation target terminal 50 from the positioning unit 53 and obtains the latitude and longitude of the current position. And the production | generation part 65 adds a confirmation object number to this position information, and transmits to the information provision server 20 (S203).

  Next, the generation unit 65 reads predetermined input screen information from the memory 62 and causes the liquid crystal display panel 59 to display an input screen for selecting the state of the person to be confirmed as shown in the screen 1 in FIG. This prompts the person to be confirmed to perform an input operation for confirming safety. On the other hand, when the person to be confirmed operates the keyboard 51 to select the state 1 or the state 2, the generation unit 65 receives the key signal from the keyboard 51 and acquires the state information.

Subsequently, the generation unit 65 causes the liquid crystal display panel 59 to display a screen for inquiring about the presence / absence of a comment as shown in the screen 2 in FIG.

(S204). On the other hand, when “with comment” is selected on the screen 2 in FIG. 7, the generation unit 65 causes the liquid crystal display panel 59 to display the comment input screen shown in the screen 3 in FIG. 7. When the person to be confirmed operates the keyboard 51 and inputs a comment, the generation unit 65 acquires comment information by a key signal from the keyboard 51. Then, the generation unit 65 generates input information by combining the comment information and the previously acquired state information, adds a confirmation target number to the input information, and transmits the input information to the information providing server 20 (S204).

  In the information providing server 20, the acquisition unit 25 acquires position information and input information from the confirmation target terminal 50 and a confirmation target number associated therewith. Then, the acquisition unit 25 stores the position information and the input information in association with the confirmation target number in the acquisition information DB.

  When the acquisition unit 25 acquires the position information, the information determination unit 26 determines that there is position information (S205: YES), obtains the acquisition time of the position information from the time signal from the clock 21, and passes from the acquisition time. Measure time.

  Next, when the acquisition unit 25 acquires the input information corresponding to the confirmation target number of the position information, the information determination unit 26 determines that there is input information (S206: YES). Then, the information determination unit 26 reads predetermined message information from the memory 23, reads the name of the confirmation target terminal 50 from the contact DB based on the confirmation target number, and further, based on the confirmation target number, the location information of the confirmation target terminal 50 and Read input information from the acquisition information DB. Here, when the position information is longitude and latitude, the information determination unit 26 obtains an address corresponding to the longitude and latitude based on the map DB. Then, the information determination unit 26 combines these, for example, “name: Mr. A, telephone number: AN, location: XX city, state: safe, comment: do not worry.” Safety information including information is created (S207).

  On the other hand, when the information determination unit 26 determines that there is no input information acquisition notification from the acquisition unit 25 and there is no input information (S206: NO), the elapsed time from the acquisition time of the position information has passed a predetermined time. Determine whether or not. If the elapsed time has passed the predetermined time (S208: YES), the information determination unit 26 reads predetermined message information from the memory 23, and reads the name of the confirmation target terminal 50 from the contact DB based on the confirmation target number. Further, the position information of the confirmation target terminal 50 is read from the acquisition information DB based on the confirmation target number. Then, the information determination unit 26 combines these pieces of information, for example, “No name: B, phone number: BN, location: □□ town, no information input from Mr. B”. And safety information indicating that there is no input information is created (S209).

  When creating the safety information, the information determining unit 26 stores the created safety information in the memory 23 in association with the confirmation target number of the safety information, and stores the storage location of the safety information in the acquisition information DB.

  When the safety information of the person to be confirmed is created, the safety information transmitting unit 27 compares the confirmation object number with the contact DB and extracts the contact number corresponding to the confirmation object number (S210). Then, the safety information transmitting unit 27 reads the safety information from the storage destination of the memory 23 of the acquired information DB, and transmits the safety information to the contact terminal by e-mail with the contact number as the destination (S211).

  FIG. 8 is different from the contact DB registered in advance before the occurrence of the emergency situation, and in response to the inquiry from the inquiry source terminal for the safety information of the person to be confirmed individually after the occurrence of the emergency situation. It is a flowchart which shows the process sequence which provides safety information to an inquiry origin terminal.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the inquiry source wants to know the status of the family or friend after the occurrence of an emergency of high importance, the inquiry source terminal adds the telephone number of the inquiry source terminal ( Hereinafter, the inquiry source number is added), and an inquiry including these is transmitted to the information providing server 20 (S301).

  In response to this, the acquisition unit 25 of the information providing server 20 receives an inquiry from the inquiry source terminal (S302: YES).

  If there is an inquiry from the inquiry source terminal, the information determining unit 26 extracts the confirmation target number from the inquiry and refers to the acquired information DB. If the position information corresponding to the confirmation target number or the storage destination thereof is stored in the acquisition information DB, the information determination unit 26 determines that there is position information (S303: YES). In this case, since the safety information has already been created, the storage destination of the safety information corresponding to the confirmation target number is extracted from the acquisition information DB, and the safety information is read from the storage destination (S304).

  On the other hand, when the position information corresponding to the confirmation target number or the storage destination thereof is not stored in the acquired information DB, the information determination unit 26 determines that there is no position information (S303: NO). When there is no position information, the confirmation target terminal 50 does not generate the position information because the confirmation target terminal 50 is not in the high importance alarm information distribution area and has not received the high importance alarm information. It can be determined that it was not sent. Therefore, the information determining unit 26 reads out a predetermined message “outside the area where the emergency occurred” from the acquired information DB as safety information (S305). Note that the message “I am outside the area where the emergency occurred” is stored in the acquisition information DB in advance.

  Subsequently, the safety information transmission unit 27 transmits the safety information to the inquiry source terminal by e-mail with the inquiry source number as a destination (S306). Thereby, the inquiry source terminal receives the safety information (S307), and can know the situation of the person to be confirmed from the safety information.

  As described above, according to the safety information providing system 1 and the information providing server 20 of the present embodiment, in addition to the position information that is automatically transmitted in response to the alarm information, input and The returned input information is provided to the contact or inquiry source. For this reason, if there is input information, it will be understood that the person to be confirmed can operate the keyboard 51. Moreover, it can be seen from the contents whether the person being confirmed is safe or injured. In addition, when a person is injured or is seeking help even if it is safe, the person to be confirmed can be quickly searched for using the position information. On the other hand, even if there is no input information, it is informed that there is no response from the person to be confirmed even though it is in the high-priority emergency area due to the situation that the location information is acquired but the input information is not acquired Safety information can be provided. Further, safety information indicating that the person to be confirmed is outside the high-priority emergency occurrence area can be provided depending on the situation that the position information is not acquired. For this reason, highly accurate safety information can be provided to a contact address etc.

  Moreover, since the safety information of the person to be confirmed is provided to the contact and the inquiry source according to every case, such as no location information or input information, the contact etc. can get more clues to the person to be confirmed. it can.

  In addition, by registering contact information from the mobile terminal device 50 and the contact terminal in advance in the contact DB, the safety information to be confirmed can be acquired. In addition, after the fact, the safety information to be confirmed can be obtained by inquiring about the safety information of the person to be confirmed.

According to the mobile terminal device 50 of the present embodiment, not only is the position information transmitted in an emergency, but also the input screen is launched to prompt the person to be confirmed to perform a predetermined input operation. Input information based on the input operation is also transmitted. As a result, the information providing server 20 can generate highly accurate safety information.

  In addition, according to the mobile terminal device 50 of the present embodiment, position information is automatically generated and transmitted in an emergency, so that it is troublesome to acquire and transmit the position information even in a confused state in an emergency In addition, the position information of the person to be confirmed can be provided quickly and efficiently.

  Furthermore, according to the mobile terminal device 50 of the present embodiment, the input screen is automatically launched by the reception of the alarm information in the confirmation target terminal 50, and necessary information such as state information is presented in advance. For this reason, since the person to be confirmed only selects the information, the minimum input information is generated and automatically transmitted to the information providing terminal, so that the input information can be provided easily.

  According to the mobile terminal device 50 of the present embodiment, the safety information is provided only in the case of an emergency with high importance, so that the position information, input information, and safety information of a person in a less urgent place can be obtained. Not sent. For this reason, it is possible to prevent a sudden increase in the amount of communication in an emergency, so that congestion can be avoided and safety information of a person in a highly urgent place can be provided smoothly. In addition, every time alarm information that has little influence on the person to be confirmed is issued, the annoyance that the contact information or the like receives and confirms the safety information is reduced.

<Processing procedure of the second embodiment>
FIG. 10 shows that when the earthquake occurs and the alarm information is distributed from the alarm distribution server 10 to the base station 30 existing in the earthquake occurrence area, the safety information is received from the confirmation target terminal 70 that received the alarm information. It is a flowchart which shows the process sequence provided to a contact address according to DB. Steps S401 and S402 are the same as steps S201 and S202 in FIG.

When the alarm determination unit 73 determines that the alarm information is of high importance, the acquisition unit 74 obtains a position signal indicating the current position of the confirmation target terminal 70 from the positioning unit 53 and obtains the latitude and longitude of the current position. The position information is generated and stored in the memory 71. (S403)
Next, the acquisition unit 74 displays an input screen on the liquid crystal display panel 59. When the confirmation target person operates the keyboard 51 on the input screen, the key information is received and input information is generated and acquired and stored in the memory 71.

  When the position information is stored in the memory 71, the information determination unit 75 obtains the acquisition time of the position information from the time signal from the clock 77, and measures the elapsed time from the acquisition time.

  When the input information is acquired, the information determination unit 75 determines that the input information has been acquired (S404: YES), reads predetermined message information, position information, and input information from the memory 71, and combines these to determine safety. Information is created and stored in the memory 71 (S405).

  On the other hand, when the input information is not acquired, the information determination unit 75 determines that there is no input information (S404: NO), and determines whether or not the elapsed time has reached a predetermined time. If the elapsed time reaches the predetermined time (S406: YES), the information determination unit 75 reads predetermined message information and position information from the memory 71, creates safety information combining these pieces of information, and stores the safety information in the memory 71 ( S407). This safety information includes the fact that there is no information input by the person to be confirmed.

  When the safety information is created, the safety information transmission unit 76 extracts the contact number from the contact DB (S408), and transmits the safety information to the contact terminal by e-mail with the contact number as the destination (S409). .

  Since the processing procedure in the case where an inquiry for the safety information of the person to be confirmed is received from the inquiry source terminal after the occurrence of the emergency situation is the same as that in FIG.

However, in this case, since there is no acquired information DB, the information determining unit 75 determines the presence / absence of the position information and the input information depending on whether the position information and the input information are stored in the memory 71.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, there is no communication between the confirmation target terminal 70 and the information providing server 20 because the confirmation target terminal 70 manages the contact DB and creates and provides safety information. The amount of communication information in an emergency situation can be reduced, and safety information can be efficiently transmitted to the contact terminal or the inquiry source terminal. Moreover, since the information is not concentrated on one server, the load is distributed and the safety information can be provided smoothly.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, when the importance of the emergency situation is higher than seismic intensity 5 as a predetermined threshold value, safety information was produced | generated, but the user can also set the threshold value which produces | generates this safety information arbitrarily. For example, when the importance level of the emergency is greater than seismic intensity 6, the user sets the safety information to be generated, so that the safety information is transmitted in a low-priority emergency that is not intended by the user, and the communication cost is increased. Can be prevented.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, the importance level threshold is provided as the reference for transmitting the safety information. However, a reference that is not represented by a class such as a numerical value may be provided. For example, it is possible to set a criterion that an earthquake warning is high in importance and a weather warning is low in importance. In this case, if the alarm is related to an earthquake, the importance is determined to satisfy the standard, and if the alarm is related to the weather, the importance is determined not to satisfy the standard.

  Further, in the above embodiment, the input information is generated when the user selects one of the two predetermined states displayed on the predetermined input screen. On the other hand, the contents displayed on the input screen can be arbitrarily set in advance by the user. Alternatively, it is possible to set the input information to be predetermined by the user and to display a button represented as transmission on the input screen. In this case, the input information is transmitted when the user selects the transmission button. As a result, the input information is not transmitted separately from the user's intention, but the input information is transmitted while the user's intention to be selected by the transmission button is reflected and the user does not have to input the information in an emergency. can do.

  Further, according to the above embodiment, the safety information is transmitted to the contact if there is position information, and if there is no position information, the safety information is transmitted to the inquiry source when there is an inquiry about the safety information. On the other hand, even when there is no position information, the safety information without the position information and the input information can be transmitted to the contact address.

  Further, according to the above embodiment, when the information determination unit 26 determines that there is no position information, the safety information that the person to be confirmed is outside the high-priority emergency occurrence area, the safety that there is a failure. Information was provided. On the other hand, as long as it is safety information based on the determination that there is no position information by the information determination unit 26, it is possible to provide not only these but safety information indicating that there is no position information.

  Furthermore, according to the embodiment, when the information determination unit 26 determines that there is no position information regardless of the presence or absence of input information, a message indicating that there is a person to be confirmed outside the area where the emergency has occurred is displayed. Provided as information. On the other hand, even when there is no position information, the information determination unit 26 can determine whether there is input information. Thereby, the safety information including the input information is provided in the determination result by the information determination unit 26 that the input information is present even though there is no position information. In addition, in the determination result by the information determination unit 26 that there is no position information and input information, a message indicating that the user is out of the area or a message indicating that there is no information on both is provided as a message based on the determination result. For this reason, safety information corresponding to every case can be created and provided to a contact or an inquiry source.

  Further, according to the above embodiment, the mobile terminal device 50 is used as the confirmation target terminal. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a desktop PC or a notebook PC having a mail function can also be used.
