Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an evacuation system suitable for operating evacuation shelters in the event of a disaster. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, heavy rains, and volcanic eruptions have been increasing. When a natural disaster occurs, evacuation shelters are opened in each area as necessary to evacuate residents. An evacuation guidance system has been proposed that can suggest appropriate evacuation destinations to evacuees in consideration of the current status of evacuation shelters after evacuation shelters have been opened at the time of the disaster (see, for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-24530 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Various prior art techniques have been proposed, including Cited Document 1, for proposing appropriate evacuation shelters or managing evacuation shelters after they have been established. However, when a disaster occurs, it is necessary to first open evacuation shelters and begin operating them. The operation of these evacuation shelters is mainly carried out under the initiative of local governments and the like, following a predetermined evacuation shelter operation manual. In other words, it is important to create an evacuation shelter operation manual before a disaster occurs.

[0005] In addition, by conducting evacuation drills according to a pre-established evacuation shelter operations manual, local residents can gain experience in operating an evacuation shelter, and the evacuation drills can also be used to correct any deficiencies in the evacuation shelter operations manual and update it as necessary.

[0006] However, it is possible that some areas have not yet created evacuation shelter operation manuals. Even in areas where evacuation shelter operation manuals have been created, it is possible that the contents of these manuals have not been fully disseminated among residents other than those involved, including disaster prevention personnel who are entrusted with evacuation shelter management.

[0007] Furthermore, even if evacuation drills are conducted, the number of participants is limited, and many local residents are unaware of the contents of the evacuation shelter operation manual and are therefore unable to participate in evacuation drills.

[0008] Furthermore, even if an evacuation shelter operation manual has been created with great effort, if it is not properly reviewed after an evacuation drill or regular meeting, the information may become outdated. However, updating the manual or distributing it to the community is time-consuming and expensive.

[0009] Therefore, it is desirable to deepen the understanding of evacuation shelter operation manuals among local residents, and to make it easy and efficient to create, maintain, and manage evacuation shelter operation manuals.

[0010] The present disclosure has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and aims to obtain an evacuation system that can increase the effectiveness of evacuation shelter operation manuals. [Means for solving the problem]

[0011] The evacuation system of the present disclosure is an evacuation system in which an evacuation shelter operation manual for use in the event of a disaster is digitized, and which is equipped with a mobile terminal that can use application software to be used during actual evacuations and evacuation drills when a disaster occurs, and in which the mobile terminal executes the following functions: during an actual evacuation or an evacuation drill, the application software is launched or logged into, and the mobile terminal sequentially displays the actions that each person should take at the evacuation shelter in accordance with their assigned roles, and, on each of the sequentially displayed screens, when a correction is required for the displayed content, the correction can be added as a memo by inputting an operation from the mobile terminal. Effect of the Invention

[0012] According to the present disclosure, an evacuation system can be obtained that can increase the effectiveness of evacuation shelter operation manuals. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0014] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the evacuation system of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. The technical feature of the evacuation system disclosed herein is that by running application software related to an evacuation shelter operation manual on a mobile terminal, it is possible to sequentially display the actions that each person should take at the evacuation shelter according to their assigned roles, and to realize a function that allows corrections to be made to the displayed content on each screen that is displayed sequentially, and a function that creates a list of corrections that matches the display screen with the corrections.

[0015] The present application is based on the provision of an electronic shelter operation manual, localized for each shelter assigned to an evacuation area, as application software. Therefore, in the following, in the first embodiment, each function of the application software is described, in the second embodiment, a method for realizing a function of creating a list at the shelter by the application software is described, and in the third embodiment, a method for constructing this application software is described.

[0016] Embodiment 1 Fig. 1 is a diagram for explaining the concept of an evacuation system according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure. An area A1 in Fig. 1 is a simulated area for evacuation to an evacuation shelter 2 in the event of a disaster. As an example, the "school district of an elementary or junior high school" corresponds to this area A1.

[0017] In addition, the evacuation shelters 2 opened within area A1 correspond to evacuation shelters that are set up in advance for each evacuee 1 residing within area A1 in the event of a disaster, and examples of such shelters include public facilities such as elementary schools, junior high schools, and community centers.

[0018] The present disclosure aims to obtain an evacuation system that can improve the effectiveness of the evacuation shelter operation manual. To achieve this aim, when an evacuee 1 is actually evacuating due to a disaster or when an evacuation drill is being carried out, the evacuee 1 starts up application software on the mobile terminal 10 he or she owns and executes each function described below, thereby improving the effectiveness of the evacuation shelter operation manual.

[0019] Note that Figure 1 illustrates an example in which one evacuation shelter 2 is allocated 1:1 within one area A1, but the evacuation system disclosed herein can also be applied to cases in which multiple evacuation shelters are allocated within one area, or where one evacuation shelter is allocated commonly to multiple areas.

[0020] In other words, each evacuee 1 can achieve the objectives of the present disclosure by executing application software relating to an electronic shelter operation manual that is localized to correspond to the evacuation shelter 2 assigned to him / her on his / her own mobile terminal 10.

[0021] Fig. 2 is an overall configuration diagram of the evacuation system according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. In Fig. 2, the mobile terminals 10 carried by each evacuee 1 in the area A1 are illustrated as N mobile terminals 10(1) to 10(N).

[0022] Each evacuee 1 launches dedicated application software installed on the mobile terminal 10 in order to take the actions he or she needs to take at the evacuation shelter 2 in accordance with the evacuation shelter operation manual according to his or her assigned role.

[0023] Note that it is not essential to install an application on the mobile terminal 10, and the present invention can be implemented, for example, even if the application on the cloud is used on the mobile terminal 10 via the Internet (Web application). In other words, the mobile terminal 10 has a communication means capable of connecting to the Internet, and can use the application for shelter establishment support on the cloud via the Internet.

[0024] When using this application on the mobile terminal 10, the user first performs a user registration procedure as necessary, sets a user ID and password, and logs in to the application (launches the application). If such initial setting procedures are performed for all participants in an evacuation drill, for example, it becomes possible to use the application for supporting the opening of evacuation shelters promptly in the event of a disaster.

[0025] The application may be used in a form that combines a native application and a Web application, which is called a hybrid application. For convenience of explanation, the following description will be given of a native application format, that is, an application installed on the mobile terminal 10, as an example.

[0026] Each mobile terminal 10 is capable of executing various functions, which will be described later, by activating application software during an actual evacuation or an evacuation drill. As a result, even if each evacuee 1 carrying a mobile terminal 10 does not know the contents of the evacuation shelter operations manual, the evacuee 1 can take appropriate action by executing the application software, thereby making it possible to increase the effectiveness of the evacuation shelter operations manual.

[0027] Moreover, each of the mobile terminals 10(1) to 10(N) is connected to a server 30, which corresponds to a host computer, so as to be able to communicate with each other via a network 20 such as the Internet. Therefore, each evacuee 1 can use the mobile terminal 10 to receive necessary information from the server 30 or transmit necessary information to the server 30.

[0028] For example, if each evacuee 1 does not have dedicated application software installed on his / her mobile terminal 10, he / she can obtain the dedicated application software from the server 30 by sending a download request for the dedicated application software from the mobile terminal 10 to the server 30.

[0029] 3 is a functional block diagram of the mobile terminal 10 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure. The mobile terminal 10 is configured to include a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a display unit 13, and an input unit 14. Here, the input unit 14 corresponds to an input means for accepting an operational input by the evacuee 1 carrying the mobile terminal 10 with respect to the content displayed on the display unit 13 of the mobile terminal 10.

[0030] In the memory unit 12, dedicated application software related to a computerized shelter operation manual that is localized for each evacuee 1 in accordance with the shelter assigned to him / her is installed.

[0031] The control unit 11 corresponds to a CPU included in the mobile terminal 10, and starts application software based on the operational input performed by the evacuee 1 via the input unit 14. Furthermore, by starting the application software, the control unit 11 sequentially displays the required tasks on the screen of the display unit 13, and sequentially executes the tasks based on the operational input performed by the evacuee 1 via the input unit 14.

[0032] In reality, it is possible that the area A1 is not uniquely identified, and the evacuation shelter 2 assigned to each person cannot be uniquely identified. In such a case, for example, a QR code (registered trademark) attached to the evacuation shelter can be read using the mobile terminal 10 to identify dedicated application software suitable for that evacuation shelter.

[0033] In addition, this dedicated application software can also have the local government notify the user of the URL of the web app via email or social networking services such as LINE (registered trademark).

[0034] Alternatively, if the dedicated application software that has already been acquired and stored in the memory unit 12 contains processing contents corresponding to each of a plurality of evacuation shelters, when this application software is started on the mobile terminal 10, the location information of the mobile terminal 10 may be acquired and the evacuation shelter 2 corresponding to that location may be set.

[0035] Alternatively, when the application software is launched, the appropriate shelter 2 may be selected from a regional menu via the input unit 14, or the name of the shelter 2 may be directly input, and an appropriate shelter may be selected based on operational input.

[0036] The evacuation system of this embodiment 1 has a technical feature in that, during an actual evacuation or an evacuation drill, the control unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10 can execute the following three functions by starting dedicated application software and executing each task in sequence.

[0037] <First function> The control unit 11 can execute a first function of displaying, in sequence, on the display unit 13, the actions that each evacuee 1 carrying the mobile terminal 10 should take at the evacuation shelter 2 according to their assigned roles, based on operational input via the input unit 14.

[0038] <Second function> The control unit 11 can execute a second function of enabling the evacuee 1 carrying the mobile terminal 10, when the evacuee 1 notices an item to be corrected in the displayed content when the screens are displayed in sequence, to add the item to be corrected as a memo on the screen by operating the input unit 14. Here, "items to be corrected" refers to deficiencies or areas for improvement in the evacuation shelter operation manual.

[0039] <Third function> The control unit 11 can execute a third function of tallying up one or more notes with corrections written on them and pasted on the screen, creating a list of corrections that associates the display screen with the corrections, and transmitting the list to the server 30.

[0040] Next, specific screen display contents, the contents of each task executed by the evacuee 1, and the first to third functions will be described in detail with reference to Fig. 4 to Fig. 9. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a display example of the first to third screens in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a display example of the fourth to sixth screens in the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0041] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a display example of a seventh screen and an eighth screen in the first embodiment of the present disclosure, and Fig. 7 is a diagram showing a display example of a ninth screen to an eleventh screen in the first embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0042] Screens 1 to 11 are shown as an example of execution when a localized, digitized shelter operations manual for the shelter 2 assigned to area A1 shown in Figure 1 is supplied as application software.

[0043] By executing such application software and utilizing the first function, an evacuee 1 carrying a mobile terminal 10 can easily understand the actions he or she should take by following the screens that are displayed in sequence, even if he or she is not familiar with the contents of the evacuation shelter operation manual. Furthermore, by utilizing the second and third functions, the evacuee 1 can easily provide his or her own opinions on deficiencies and areas for improvement in the application software.

[0044] In other words, by executing application software corresponding to the localized evacuation shelter operation manual, evacuee 1 can easily understand what actions he or she should take by sequentially deciphering the instructions that are displayed in story format in response to screen transitions.

[0045] Furthermore, the evacuees 1 can easily communicate deficiencies and improvements in the application software as memos, and can support the updating of the application software. As a result, an evacuation system that can improve the effectiveness of the evacuation shelter operation manual can be realized.

[0046] Therefore, a specific example of a series of processes performed by the evacuation system of the present disclosure will be described in the order of the first to eleventh screens shown in Figs.

[0047] 4 is an initial screen that appears when the application software is started, and is a screen that introduces the target evacuation shelter 2. The name of the evacuation shelter, a photo of the exterior of the evacuation shelter 2, the creator, and the creation date are embedded in the first screen. When the control unit 11 receives, for example, a slide operation of a finger via the input unit 14 while the first screen is displayed on the display unit 13, it performs a screen transition so as to display the second screen on the display unit 13.

[0048] The second screen informs the evacuees 1 of precautions to take when setting up the evacuation shelter 2, and informs them that the setting up work will begin. When the control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the display portion of "START" via the input unit 14 while the second screen is displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 performs a screen transition to display the third screen on the display unit 13.

[0049] The third screen is a screen that notifies the evacuee 1 of a specific storage location map and the name of the equipment to be taken out in order to encourage the evacuee 1 to take out the equipment necessary for opening a shelter from the storage location. When the control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the "Next" display portion via the input unit 14 while the third screen is displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 performs a screen transition to display the fourth screen on the display unit 13.

[0050] On the other hand, when the control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the “Back” display area via the input unit 14 while the third screen is displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 transitions to the previous screen so as to display the second screen on the display unit 13.

[0051] 5 is a screen for allowing evacuee 1 to select whether to act as a leader or to help with other tasks as a role assignment in opening evacuation shelter 2. When control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the display portion of "Become a leader" via input unit 14 while displaying the fourth screen on display unit 13, control unit 11 performs a screen transition to display a fifth screen on display unit 13.

[0052] On the other hand, when the control unit 11 receives a touch operation via the input unit 14 on the display portion of “Help with everything else” while the fourth screen is being displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 performs a screen transition to display the ninth screen on the display unit 13.

[0053] If "Become a leader" is selected while the fourth screen is displayed, the control unit 11 will then display the fifth to eighth screens in sequence, and inform the user of the tasks to be performed as a leader.

[0054] On the other hand, if "Help with other tasks" is selected while the fourth screen is displayed, the control unit 11 will then display the ninth to eleventh screens in sequence, and inform the user of the tasks to be done other than the leader in sequence.

[0055] In this way, each evacuee 1 can select a role that suits him / herself. Also, if necessary, the leader can assign suitable people to each role at his / her discretion.

[0056] The fifth screen is a screen that prompts the leader to enter their name and gather collaborators to form a team. The leader enters their own name, organizes each team, appoints team leaders, and ticks the items that have been completed.

[0057] The control unit 11 causes the display unit 13 to display the fifth screen, and when the necessary information has been set and a touch operation is received on the “Next” display portion via the input unit 14, the control unit 11 performs a screen transition to cause the display unit 13 to display the sixth screen.

[0058] On the other hand, when the control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the “Back” display area via the input unit 14 while the fifth screen is displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 transitions to the previous screen so as to display the fourth screen on the display unit 13.

[0059] The sixth screen is a screen to prompt the leader about the tasks that should be performed in sequence after the team formation is completed. The person who becomes the leader can follow the content displayed on the sixth screen to understand the sequence of tasks that should be performed in sequence as the leader and perform them quickly.

[0060] Furthermore, the leader performs a series of operations to determine whether or not the shelter 2 can be used as a shelter. If the leader determines that the shelter 2 can be used, the leader can complete the series of operations related to the opening of the shelter 2 by performing a touch operation on the "usable" display portion.

[0061] In addition, if the leader determines that Evacuation Shelter 2 is unavailable, he or she can touch the area that says "Unavailable" and take appropriate action according to the content displayed after transitioning to the seventh screen.

[0062] In other words, when the control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the "Available" display portion via the input unit 14 while the sixth screen is displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 determines that the evacuation shelter 2 can be opened and transitions to another screen not shown.

[0063] On the other hand, when the control unit 11 receives a touch operation via the input unit 14 on the portion displaying "unavailable" while the sixth screen is displayed on the display unit 13, it makes the shelter 2 unusable and performs a screen transition to display the seventh screen on the display unit 13 so that action can be taken to guide the user to a new shelter.

[0064] The seventh screen is a screen for encouraging the leader to take action to let everyone know that the use of Evacuation Center 2 is prohibited. The leader can attach a prohibition sign to the entrance of Evacuation Center 2 according to the content displayed on the seventh screen, and can also touch "Next" to receive further instructions on what action to take.

[0065] That is, when the control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the “Next” display portion via the input unit 14 while the seventh screen is displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 performs a screen transition to display the eighth screen on the display unit 13.

[0066] On the other hand, when the control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the “Back” display area via the input unit 14 while the seventh screen is displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 transitions to the previous screen so as to display the sixth screen on the display unit 13.

[0067] The eighth screen is a screen that notifies information about a new shelter 2a to which evacuees 1 should be guided when it is determined that the original shelter 2 is unusable. The leader can obtain information about the name and location of the new shelter 2a according to the contents displayed on the eighth screen. In addition, evacuees 1 other than the leader can also obtain information about the name and location of the new shelter 2a by viewing this eighth screen, and can take appropriate evacuation actions.

[0068] In addition, the eighth screen shows an example in which two guide destinations are set as the new evacuation shelter 2a.

[0069] When the control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the "TOP" display portion via the input unit 14 while the eighth screen is displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 performs a screen transition so as to cause the display unit 13 to display the first screen, which is the initial screen.

[0070] On the other hand, when the control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the “Back” display area via the input unit 14 while the eighth screen is displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 transitions to the previous screen so as to display the seventh screen on the display unit 13.

[0071] Next, a series of processes after the transition from the 4th screen to the 8th screen will be explained using the 9th screen to the 11th screen shown in Fig. 7. Evacuees 1 who wish to be non-leaders and have selected "help others" on the 4th screen can take appropriate actions according to their roles according to the display contents from the 9th screen onwards.

[0072] The ninth screen is a screen for encouraging evacuees 1 who do not wish to be leaders to select the tasks they can help with in managing the evacuation shelter 2. Those who do not wish to be leaders can follow the display on the ninth screen and select "Start work" for the team that will fulfill the role that best suits them from among multiple teams.

[0073] That is, when the control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the “Start work” display portion via the input unit 14 while the 9th screen is displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 performs a screen transition so that the actions to be taken as a member of the corresponding team are displayed on the display unit 13.

[0074] For example, when the control unit 11 receives a touch operation for “start work” related to the safety confirmation team while the 9th screen is displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 performs a screen transition to display the 10th screen on the display unit 13, and informs the user of the action to be taken as a member of the safety confirmation team.

[0075] The 10th screen shows how to obtain a building key as a specific example of the actions to be taken as a member of the safety confirmation team. Evacuee 1, who wants to obtain a building key as a member of the safety confirmation team, should check the box to the right of "Obtaining the key from the key storage location" on the 10th screen, and then touch "Next."

[0076] The control unit 11 causes the display unit 13 to display the 10th screen, and when a check mark is entered in the box to the right of the words "When obtaining a key from the key storage location," and then receives a touch operation on the "Next" display portion via the input unit 14, the control unit 11 performs a screen transition to display the 11th screen on the display unit 13.

[0077] On the other hand, in this state, when the control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the “Back” display portion via the input unit 14, the control unit 11 transitions to the previous screen so as to display the 9th screen on the display unit 13, making it possible to select a different team.

[0078] The 11th screen shows a specific example of the actions to be taken when obtaining a key as a member of a security team. The locations of the key boxes where various keys are kept are displayed on a map as "storage locations," and the purpose of each key stored in the key box is displayed with a photo.

[0079] Note that the screens displayed after "Next" is touched while the 11th screen is displayed are omitted. Also, when the control unit 11 receives a touch operation on the display portion of "Back" via the input unit 14 while the 11th screen is displayed on the display unit 13, the control unit 11 transitions to the previous screen so as to display the 10th screen on the display unit 13.

[0080] The first function executed by the mobile terminal 10 in which dedicated application software suitable for evacuation shelters is installed has been described above with reference to Figures 4 to 7. Next, the second and third functions executed by the mobile terminal 10 will be described with reference to Figures 8 and 9.

[0081] Fig. 8 is an explanatory diagram relating to the second function executed by the mobile terminal 10 in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Fig. 8 specifically illustrates the second function when a series of processes relating to the first to eighth screens shown in Figs. 4 to 6 are executed.

[0082] In particular, Figure 8 illustrates an example in which Mr. A, Mr. B, and Mr. C, who are participating in an evacuation drill, sequentially view the display contents of the first to eighth screens, and then use the second function of their mobile terminals 10 to add notes on items to be corrected.

[0083] For example, the third screen shown in Figure 4 above shows specific equipment items and storage locations. Suppose that person A, who participated in an evacuation drill, notices that "flashlight" is not listed as an item of equipment when looking at the third screen. If person A is concerned that "doesn't a flashlight need to be listed as equipment?", he or she can use the second function to attach a note to the third screen saying "Add flashlight to equipment."

[0084] Also, for example, the fourth screen shown in Figure 5 above shows the choice between leader and other roles. Let's say that when B, who participated in the evacuation drill, looks at this fourth screen, he or she becomes concerned about the necessity of a "sub-leader" role, as the leader is too heavy a responsibility for one person. Worried about whether a sub-leader is necessary in addition to the leader, B can use the second function to attach a note to the fourth screen saying, "Why not create a sub-leader to support the leader?"

[0085] Also, for example, the 8th screen shown in Figure 6 above shows information about a new evacuation shelter, 2a, in the event that the originally planned evacuation shelter, 2, is deemed unusable. Suppose that C, who participated in the evacuation drill, noticed when looking at the 8th screen that the map for the new evacuation shelter was unclear and it was difficult to grasp its location. C, who was concerned that "the map may be difficult to read," can use the second function to attach a note to the 8th screen saying, "I would like the map to be easier to read."

[0086] As one method for realizing this second function, control unit 11 may perform control so that, when a specific position on the screen is touched for a specific period of time, a keypad for character input is displayed on the screen as input unit 14, enabling the entry of notes by operational input, and pasting the contents of the note on the screen.

[0087] Also, in FIG. 8, the second function is executed to illustrate an example in which person A, person B, and person C each attach one note to one screen, but each person can also attach multiple notes to any screen.

[0088] Then, for example, if all three memos shown in FIG. 8 are attached by person A, the mobile terminal 10 possessed by person A can execute a third function of tallying up these three memos.

[0089] Specifically, the control unit 11 can execute a third function of tallying up one or more notes on which corrections are written, associating the display screen with the corrections, and creating a list of corrections to be transmitted to the server 30. The third function of creating a list of corrections is individually performed in all mobile terminals 10 to which one or more corrections are attached as notes.

[0090] Fig. 9 is an explanatory diagram relating to a tallying function executed by the server 30 capable of communicating with each mobile terminal 10 in the first embodiment of the present disclosure. Specifically, Fig. 9 illustrates an example in which the server 30 tallies the three notes shown in Fig. 8 above, and outputs the tallying result in the form of minutes.

[0091] The server 30 can obtain the list of corrections generated by the mobile terminal 10 owned by Mr. A, thereby obtaining the correction item "Add a flashlight to equipment" that is memoized in association with the third screen.

[0092] In addition, the server 30 can obtain the list of corrections generated by the mobile terminal 10 owned by Mr. B, and thereby obtain the correction item, "Why not create a sub-leader to support the leader?", which is noted in correspondence with the fourth screen.

[0093] Furthermore, the server 30 can obtain the correction item, such as "I would like the map to be easier to read," that is noted in correspondence with the eighth screen by acquiring the list of correction items generated by the mobile terminal 10 possessed by Mr. C.

[0094] The server 30 can then obtain the list of corrections created by each of the multiple mobile terminals 10, and execute a function of tallying up the associations between the display screens and the corrections across all the mobile terminals 10, and outputting the tally results. For example, as shown in Fig. 9, the server 30 can generate and output minutes in which the tally results are listed as "meeting minutes" along with "meeting name," "date and time," "location," and "attendees" corresponding to the evacuation drill that was carried out.

[0095] As described above, according to embodiment 1, by using an evacuation system equipped with multiple mobile terminals having the first to third functions and a server having a counting function, the following effects can be achieved.

[0096] Effect 1: Effect obtained by the first to third functions of the mobile device During an actual evacuation when a disaster occurs, or during an evacuation drill, a mobile device on which application software of the present disclosure is installed can, by executing the first function of the application software, sequentially display the actions that each person should take at the evacuation shelter in accordance with their assigned roles, and guide them to take appropriate actions according to the content on the screen.

[0097] Therefore, even if evacuees are not familiar with the evacuation shelter operation manual, they can take appropriate actions according to their roles by following the contents displayed in the customized application software.

[0098] Furthermore, by executing the second and third functions of the application software, the mobile terminal can easily collect corrections to each screen of the application software during an actual evacuation in the event of a disaster or during an evacuation drill, and can create a list of corrections for each mobile terminal that matches the display screen with the corrections.

[0099] Therefore, evacuees can easily document their desired modifications to the customized application software and transmit the modifications as a list to the server.

[0100] Effect 2: Effect obtained by the server's aggregation function By compiling the list of corrections obtained from each mobile device that is capable of communicating with each other, the server can easily collect requests for improvements from users in each region for application software that will be executed during actual evacuations in the event of a disaster or during evacuation drills.

[0101] The relevant parties, including disaster prevention personnel in charge of evacuation shelter measures, can quickly and easily improve the application software to make it suitable for practical use, taking into account improvement requests from users. In other words, the real reactions of each user of the application software can be quickly collected and reflected in the review of the application software in a timely manner.

[0102] Therefore, it is possible to realize an evacuation system that can improve the effectiveness of the evacuation shelter operation manual. In particular, it is possible to easily improve the completeness of the customized application software by collecting all the issues to be improved every time the application software is executed and based on the collected results.

[0103] Embodiment 2 In the above embodiment 1, an evacuation system was described that is equipped with a mobile terminal 10 that realizes the first to third functions by starting application software localized for the evacuation shelter 2, sequentially displaying the required tasks on the screen, and sequentially executing the tasks based on operational input by the evacuee 1.

[0104] In contrast to this, in the second embodiment, a method for implementing a list creation function for managing evacuees using the evacuation shelter 2 after the evacuation shelter 2 has been opened using application software will be described in detail.

[0105] In conventional evacuation shelter operations, evacuees were managed according to the following procedures: Step 1: Fill out the "Evacuee Card" When evacuees use an evacuation shelter, they fill out the necessary information on an "evacuee card." Step 2: Create a list for management The shelter manager will create a "refugee list" based on the "refugee cards."

[0106] In such a conventional procedure, the evacuees and the administrator are mainly responsible for the manual work, and creating the evacuee list is a burden. Therefore, in the second embodiment, a list creation function is added to the application software described in the first embodiment above, thereby reducing the burden on the operation of the evacuation shelter.

[0107] Fig. 10 is an overall configuration diagram of an evacuation system according to embodiment 2 of the present disclosure. The configuration of the evacuation system according to embodiment 2 shown in Fig. 10 is different from the configuration of the evacuation system according to embodiment 1 shown in Fig. 2 in the following two points.

[0108] Difference 1: There is also a PC40 installed in the local government that manages Evacuation Center 2 and owned by the disaster prevention manager. Difference 2: Each mobile terminal 10 carried by each evacuee 1 has a code reader function for reading two-dimensional codes.

[0109] Here, a specific example of a two-dimensional code is a QR code, and in this case, a mobile terminal 10 having a function for reading the QR code is utilized.

[0110] In the evacuation system of the second embodiment using FIG. 10, each evacuee 1 using the evacuation shelter 2 executes the list creation function by performing a series of operations in the following procedure.

[0111] The list creation function, which can be executed by the following procedure, can be executed by a mobile terminal 10 having a code reader function for reading two-dimensional codes. Also, the list creation in the evacuation shelter 2 can be regarded as one item in the evacuation shelter operation manual and can be incorporated as an additional function of the application software described in the first embodiment above, thereby improving the effectiveness of the evacuation shelter operation manual.

[0112] Step 1: Reading the 2D code using the mobile terminal 10 A refugee 1 who visits a shelter 2 reads a two-dimensional code prepared at the shelter 2 using a code reader function of a mobile terminal 10. Here, the two-dimensional code incorporates shelter identification information for identifying the shelter 2, refuge information that specifies the items to be filled in for identifying the refugee, and address information for transmitting information to a server 30.

[0113] Step 2: Creating evacuee information using the mobile terminal 10 The evacuees 1 use the mobile terminal 10 to enter the necessary items related to the evacuee information, which specifies the items to be entered in order to identify the evacuees. Specifically, each evacuee 1 enters the necessary items into the items to be entered displayed on the display unit 13 of the mobile terminal 10 via the input unit 14. As a result, the mobile terminal 10 can generate list information including the filled-in evacuee information after the items to be entered have been set and the evacuation shelter identification information.

[0114] Step 3: Sending the name list information to the server 30 using the mobile terminal 10 The evacuee 1 performs a transmission process to transmit the completed evacuee information created in step 2 to the server 30. As an example, the evacuee 1 enters the necessary items in the evacuee information, and then touches the display portion of the "Send" button on the display unit 13. As a result, the control unit 11 of the mobile terminal 10 transmits the directory information generated in step 2 to the server 30 specified by the address information via the Internet communication network 20.

[0115] Meanwhile, the server 30 can create a list of evacuees that associates evacuation centers with evacuees by aggregating the list information received from each mobile terminal 10.

[0116] Furthermore, when the server 30 receives a request from a person with access rights to view the evacuee list created for each evacuation shelter 2, the server 30 can make the evacuee list available to the sender of the request.

[0117] For example, consider a case where a local government that manages evacuation shelter 2 has access authority and wishes to view a list of evacuees corresponding to evacuation shelter 2 in order to understand the situation at evacuation shelter 2. In this case, as an example, server 30 is installed in the local government, and upon receiving a request for viewing from PC 40 owned by a disaster prevention manager who has access authority, allows the disaster prevention manager to view the corresponding list of evacuees.

[0118] By utilizing the evacuation system of this embodiment 2 with such a configuration, the burden of creating a list of evacuee names can be reduced, and anyone with access rights can view the list of evacuee names created by server 30 as necessary.

[0119] In order to accurately manage the evacuees staying at the evacuation shelter 2, it is important for the server 30 to manage the evacuation period, which is specified by the start date and time and the end date and time during which the evacuees use the evacuation shelter 2.

[0120] Therefore, it is conceivable that the "evacuation period" can also be entered when filling in the necessary information for evacuee information using the mobile terminal 10, and that the evacuee can update this "evacuation period" as needed depending on the situation, and then send the updated evacuee information to the server 30, thereby allowing the server 30 to manage the latest status regarding the "evacuation period."

[0121] Specifically, the mobile terminal 10 and the server 30 work together to update the "evacuation period" using the following procedure, making it possible to accurately manage the evacuees staying in the evacuation shelter 2.

[0122] Step 1: Setting process of evacuation period by evacuee using mobile terminal 10 When an evacuee starts using the evacuation shelter 2, the evacuee sets the evacuation period included in the evacuee information via the input unit 14 of the mobile terminal 10. As a result, the mobile terminal 10 can generate filled-in evacuee information and transmit the list information including the generated filled-in evacuee information to the server 30.

[0123] Step 2: Setting process of evacuation period by evacuee using mobile terminal 10 When a change occurs in the evacuation period, the evacuee updates the evacuation period included in the filled-in evacuee information as needed via the input unit 14 of the mobile terminal 10. As a result, the mobile terminal 10 generates updated evacuee information after the update process of the evacuation period has been performed, and each time the mobile terminal 10 generates the updated roster information including the updated evacuee information, it can transmit the updated roster information to the server 30.

[0124] Step 3: Update process of the evacuee list by the server 30 When the server 30 receives updated list information from any one of the plurality of mobile terminals 10, the server 30 executes an update process for the evacuee list.

[0125] In this way, the server 30 can manage the latest information regarding who is evacuated to each evacuation shelter 2 based on the latest evacuation period, and further, anyone with access rights can view the latest evacuee list, which has been updated as appropriate, by requesting to view it from the server 30.

[0126] Embodiment 3 In this embodiment 3, we will provide additional explanation on a method of building application software that provides a localized and digitized shelter operation manual for each shelter 2 assigned to an evacuation area in a multiple screen configuration as shown in Figures 4 to 7 above.

[0127] The application software according to the present disclosure has the following features, as typified by the screens shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 in the first embodiment.

[0128] Feature 1: Screen design inspired by action cards The application software according to the present disclosure employs a screen design that can concisely display, for each screen displayed, who should take what action in what situation. Hereinafter, such a screen design will be referred to as an "action card-inspired screen design."

[0129] Feature 2: Adopts a design that allows you to insert photos, pictures, maps, etc. The application software according to the present disclosure employs a configuration in which, as necessary, photos, pictures, maps, etc. can be inserted into the screen designed based on the action card concept. For example, a photo is inserted into the first screen in Fig. 4 or the eleventh screen in Fig. 7, and a map is inserted into the third screen in Fig. 4, the eighth screen in Fig. 6, or the eleventh screen in Fig. 7.

[0130] Feature 3: Each screen has a design that allows input operations to be performed The system is structured so that each screen can accept a selection input according to the division of roles, and transition to the desired screen can be made. Also, as explained as the second function in the first embodiment, the system is structured so that when a correction is noticed, a memo can be added to the screen.

[0131] Furthermore, as explained above in the second embodiment as the list creation function, a configuration is adopted in which evacuee information can be set and updated based on active operational input by the evacuee 1 using the evacuation shelter 2.

[0132] Application software having such features 1 to 3 can be easily constructed by using application software that has already been created as a standard model as a starting point.

[0133] Function 1 can be customized by modifying and adding necessary screens and deleting unnecessary screens according to the evacuation shelter 2, and by editing each screen with appropriate text. For example, in the third screen shown in Figure 4 above, customization can be easily achieved by appropriately editing the content of "Equipment."

[0134] As for function 2, customization is possible by inserting a photograph taken by the mobile terminal 10 or a map or picture obtainable by the mobile terminal 10 into the standard model screen. For example, customization can be easily realized by appropriately editing the contents of the photograph or map on the 11th screen shown in FIG. 7 above.

[0135] Moreover, with regard to function 3, customization can be easily realized by utilizing the second function described in the first embodiment above and the name list creation function described in the second embodiment above.

[0136] In other words, regardless of whether an evacuation shelter operations manual already exists, application software that is appropriately customized for each evacuation shelter 2 and has features 1 to 3 can be easily constructed by using application software that has already been created as a standard model as a starting point.

[0137] The application software constructed in this way can be applied not only to actual disasters, but also to evacuation drills. In evacuation drills, an individual or group can easily obtain an experience suited to their own evacuation shelter at a time of their choice by executing the application software using the mobile terminal 10 at the desired timing, and evacuation drills with a high degree of freedom can be appropriately carried out.

[0138] In other words, the evacuation system according to the present disclosure can be easily customized and constructed for each evacuation shelter. Furthermore, the evacuation system according to the present disclosure can deepen the understanding of the evacuation shelter operation manual among local residents through highly flexible evacuation drills conducted using application software, and can easily and efficiently create, maintain, and manage the evacuation shelter operation manual.

[0139] In particular, the evacuation system disclosed herein, which has Features 1 to 3, contributes to the promotion of regional disaster prevention, allows anyone to easily understand the actions that should be taken at an evacuation shelter and easily grasp the evacuation shelter's acceptance situation, and further enables the application software to be quickly reviewed and improved to reflect the opinions of many people.

[0140] In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the application software for opening evacuation shelters in the event of a disaster is installed on a mobile device (native app), but it is also possible to use a format in which an application on the cloud is used on the mobile device via the Internet (web app) without installing the application on the mobile device, and also to use a format that combines a native app and a web app, known as a hybrid app. [Explanation of symbols]
