Description

The present invention relates to a power outage information distribution system that provides information to a consumer who is supplied with electric power from an electric power company.

Conventionally, consumers who receive electricity from an electric power company use a smartphone (using an internal battery) to access it by operating, for example, the "power outage information" button included in the homepage established by the electric power company in the event of a power outage. As a result, it is possible to confirm general information such as the number of power outages as the content of the power outage for each prefecture name and city name.
However, if the relevant consumer (during a power outage) simply checks the homepage, it may be due to a general failure caused by a power outage in the entire interior or a part of the interior of the customer's house, or due to a malfunction in the power transmission equipment of the electric power company. I couldn't confirm the details of the accidental power outage.

Therefore, the corresponding customer (during a power outage) can inquire the electric power company about the power outage status by telephone, but it takes time for the operator to actually respond.
Therefore, in Patent Document 1, for the purpose of promptly notifying the customer of the occurrence of a power failure together with detailed information, a power distribution board provided with a breaker having a power failure detection unit and a transmission unit, and a transmission unit via a fixed telephone line. It consists of a server that connects to the server and a customer terminal that connects to the server via a network. When the power failure detection unit detects a power failure, the transmission unit notifies the server to that effect. A power failure information notification system is known in which a server sends an e-mail containing detailed information such as contact information to a customer terminal registered in a database in response to this notification.
