Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of earthquake information acquisition, and in particular to a method for automatically generating global strong earthquake information reports. Background Technology

[0002] In order to obtain timely information on the destructive impact of earthquakes abroad and assist relevant organizations in developing response strategies, such as providing timely international assistance, further developing friendly relations between countries, and strengthening international cooperation, it is necessary to obtain earthquake-related information within two hours after an earthquake occurs globally.

[0003] For earthquakes abroad, official measurement results are typically received approximately 0.5 hours after the earthquake occurs. Within 2.0 hours, it is difficult to obtain information on the destructive power of the earthquake and precise on-site data. Therefore, obtaining information such as population data and historical earthquake records in the affected area within a short period is crucial. Compiling special reports solely through manual searching and editing of earthquake background information is a time-consuming and laborious process, and is prone to errors.

[0004] The disadvantages of existing technologies include: Currently, there are no relevant technologies or products that can fully display post-earthquake related information, thus failing to provide a basis for decision-making. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention is proposed to provide an automatic generation method for global strong earthquake information reports that overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, an automatic method for generating global strong earthquake information reports is provided, the automatic generation method comprising: Step S1: Regularly monitor for the latest earthquake information, including the CENC earthquake catalog and the USGS earthquake catalog; Step S2: New earthquake information exists; update the relevant earthquake catalog according to the magnitude. Step S3: Obtain earthquake information from the earthquake broadcasting robot and update the relevant product catalog; Step S4: Determine if the earthquake broadcasting robot has generated local time. If not, calculate the local time based on latitude and longitude and update the relevant catalog. Step S5: Determine the location of the earthquake; Step S6: Obtain the Pager earthquake casualty assessment map based on the USGS earthquake catalog ID; Step S7: Obtain USGS population information based on the epicenter's latitude and longitude; Step S8: Obtain GDACS population information using the threshold method; Step S9: Update the list of magnitude 5 earthquakes based on the location of the earthquake epicenter; Step S10: Based on the obtained epicenter elevation, determine whether the earthquake occurred on land or at sea; Step S11: Determine whether the criteria for continued reporting are met by combining information on magnitude, land or sea area, and distance to the border; Step S12: Repeat step S1. If a new earthquake exists, proceed with steps S2-S11.

[0007] Optionally, step S1: periodically monitoring for the latest earthquake information specifically includes: based on the timeliness of information, periodically monitoring for the latest earthquake information, and periodically updating the CENC-related earthquake catalog and USGS earthquake catalog published by the China Earthquake Networks Center in the past month.

[0008] Optionally, step S2: updating the relevant earthquake catalog based on magnitude when new earthquake information exists specifically includes: Determine if the earthquake magnitude is greater than 7; If so, insert earthquake information into the earthquake, magnitude 5, magnitude 7, and related product catalogs; If not, then determine whether the earthquake is greater than magnitude 5; If so, insert earthquake information into the updated earthquake, magnitude 5, and related product catalogs; If not, insert earthquake information into the updated earthquake and related product catalog.

[0009] Optionally, the relevant product catalog specifically includes: population information, historical earthquake information, epicenter information, and surrounding cities.

[0010] Optionally, the earthquake information specifically includes: earthquake-related population, historical earthquakes, altitude, distance from my country's border, and local time information.

[0012] Optionally, step S11: determining whether the criteria for continued reporting are met based on information including magnitude, land or sea area, and border distance specifically includes: Step S11.1: If yes: then issue an earthquake special report, the special report information includes basic information, population information and probability of casualties, tsunami information, historical earthquake information, and disaster information; Step S11.2: If not: then an earthquake report is not required.

[0013] Optionally, the automatic generation method further includes: setting the interval for monitoring the latest earthquake to 5 seconds and the interval for updating the earthquake catalog of the past month to 24 hours.

[0014] This invention provides an automatic generation method for global strong earthquake information reports. The automatic generation method includes: Step S1: periodically monitoring for the availability of new earthquake information, including the CENC earthquake catalog and the USGS earthquake catalog; Step S2: updating the relevant earthquake catalog based on the magnitude of new earthquake information; Step S3: acquiring earthquake information from the earthquake broadcasting robot and updating the relevant product catalog; Step S4: determining whether the earthquake broadcasting robot has generated local time; if not, calculating the local time based on latitude and longitude and updating the relevant catalog; Step S5: determining the earthquake location; S6: Obtain the Pager earthquake casualty assessment map based on the USGS earthquake catalog ID; S7: Obtain USGS population information based on the epicenter latitude and longitude; S8: Obtain GDACS population information using the threshold method; S9: Update the magnitude 5 earthquake catalog based on the epicenter location; S10: Determine whether the earthquake occurred over land or sea based on the obtained epicenter elevation; S11: Determine whether the earthquake meets the criteria for continued reporting based on the combined information of magnitude, land or sea location, and border distance; S12: Repeat step S1.

[0020] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a technique and method for automatically exporting global strong earthquake reports includes: Step 1: Based on the timeliness of information, regularly monitor for the latest earthquake information and regularly update the CENC earthquake catalog and USGS earthquake catalog published by the China Earthquake Networks Center in the past month.

[0022] Step 2: When new earthquake information is available, update the relevant earthquake catalog based on the magnitude and determine whether the earthquake magnitude is greater than 7. If so, insert the earthquake information into the earthquake, magnitude 5, magnitude 7, and related product (population information, historical earthquake information, epicenter introduction, surrounding cities) catalogs; If not, then determine whether the earthquake is greater than magnitude 5; If so, insert earthquake information into the updated earthquake, magnitude 5, and related product catalogs; If not, insert earthquake information into the updated earthquake and related product catalog. Step 3: Obtain information related to this earthquake, such as the population, historical earthquakes, altitude, distance from my country's border, and local time, for the earthquake broadcasting robot, and update the relevant product catalog; Step 4: Determine if the earthquake broadcasting robot has generated the local time. If not, calculate the local time based on latitude and longitude and update the relevant catalog. Step 5: Determine the location of the earthquake; Step 5.1: If so, automatically generate product files such as region of interest, surrounding airports, and seismic fortification parameters, obtain relevant data such as population and historical earthquakes for the earthquake broadcasting robot, and update the relevant catalog. Step 5.2: If not, match the USGS earthquake catalog according to the threshold method, obtain the USGS catalog ID, and update the relevant data of the magnitude 5 earthquake catalog; Step 6: Obtain the Pager earthquake casualty assessment map based on the USGS catalog ID; Step 7: Obtain USGS population information based on the epicenter's latitude and longitude. Step 8: Obtain GDACS population information using the threshold method; Step 9: Update the list of magnitude 5 earthquakes based on the location of the earthquake epicenter; Step 10: Based on the obtained epicenter elevation, determine whether the earthquake occurred on land or at sea; Step 11: Determine whether the earthquake meets the criteria for continued reporting based on comprehensive information such as magnitude, land or sea area, and distance from my country's borders; Step 11.1: If yes: then issue an earthquake special report. The report information includes basic information, population information and probability of casualties, tsunami information, historical earthquake information, and disaster information.

[0023] Step 11.2: If not: then an earthquake report is not required; Step 12: Repeat Step 1. If a new earthquake exists, proceed to Steps 2-11.

[0026] It can update earthquake information in real time, acquire relevant data, generate relevant maps, and export earthquake reports.

[0027] Beneficial effects: By using a database approach to link various earthquake catalogs, the integrity of the earthquake catalogs is ensured, facilitating information retrieval later. By regularly monitoring earthquake information, the earthquake catalog can be updated in near real-time. At the same time, by organizing information from different channels, the foundation for special reports can be laid. Thresholding method is used to match the USGS earthquake catalog and GDACS earthquake list to enrich the information content structure; By processing parameters such as magnitude, epicenter location, land or sea area, and distance from my country's border, the system determines whether a special report is required, thus eliminating the possibility of errors caused by manual judgment and liberating productivity.
