Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and a system for more reliably transmitting various emergency alerts, notifications, and distributions by the administration to residents, performing dissemination information distribution suitable for residents during disasters and evacuations, ensuring the safety of residents, simplifying the dissemination information distribution operation, improving the efficiency of dissemination distribution, and preventing misdistribution.

Background Art

[0002] With the progress of an aging society, the trend towards nuclear families, and the increase in single-person households, the need to monitor and watch over individuals' daily lives and health conditions is increasing. In particular, in the event of disasters or emergencies, for the elderly and those with physical disabilities who require assistance (hereinafter also referred to as those in need of support), if disaster prevention dissemination and evacuation guidance are not carried out quickly and accurately, life-threatening situations may occur. Therefore, for local governments and the administration, how to quickly and accurately conduct dissemination during disasters and emergencies has become an issue.

[0003] For local governments and the administration, while it is necessary to monitor and provide life support to residents including those in need of support, and to make emergency contacts and evacuation notifications during emergencies and disasters, the current contacts and notifications mainly rely on disaster prevention administrative wireless speakers (dissemination speakers) installed in each region and individual visits in each regional community. However, for those in need of support such as the elderly and the disabled, it is difficult to hear with disaster prevention administrative wireless speakers, and there is a problem that emergency reports are difficult to convey. Also, even for healthy people, during disasters, they are often in environments such as earthquakes, fires, tsunamis, typhoons, etc., and broadcasts and announcements are extremely difficult to hear due to rain, wind, and snow, and are difficult to convey.

[0004] Therefore, many residents rely on emergency broadcasts on TV and radio for disasters such as large-scale disasters associated with earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, etc. However, public broadcasts such as TV and radio are not notifications limited to local administrations, and there is a need for dissemination distribution that conforms to the disaster situation by local administrations.

[0005] In order to address such problems, Patent Document 1 discloses a technology in which an intercom device constantly supplied with power incorporates a disaster prevention wireless reception circuit capable of setting a reception frequency, and uses the amplifier function of the intercom device to provide disaster information, public broadcasts, etc. for individual households. This system is a method of synchronizing with disaster prevention administrative radio broadcasts, but at the frequencies of administrative radio (260 MHz or 60 MHz), the reception conditions are affected by weather conditions such as rain and snow and the broadcast area, which is not satisfactory.

[0007] Also, Patent Document 2 proposes a device that unifies methods such as disaster prevention administrative radio, disaster FM broadcasts (community FM broadcasts), IP disaster prevention broadcasts, area emails, disaster prevention emails, and disaster prevention portals as means of transmitting information from the local government related to disaster prevention to residents, in order to ensure the transmission of administrative information. However, all of these methods have the problem that administrative communications, disaster and emergency warnings, etc. are not reliably transmitted. In particular, in recent years' disaster evacuation experiences, it has become necessary to quickly and more reliably convey warnings and announcements by disaster prevention administrative radio speakers to the elderly and disabled.

[0008] On the other hand, the public information distribution in each local government and administration covers a wide variety, even just the same information distribution called disaster prevention radio. When typhoons, floods, tsunamis, earthquakes, wildfires, tsunamis, high tides, etc. occur, it is necessary to conduct disaster prevention public information distribution notifications such as forecasts, warnings, and cautionary notices that are appropriate to the respective situations. Furthermore, as public information items related to daily life, there are photochemical smog cautionary notices, fire occurrence notifications, power outage information, heatstroke cautionary information, etc. As public information items related to crime prevention, it is required to transmit information such as notifications of loiterers and missing persons, cautionary notices for suspicious persons, cautionary information for arson and suspicious fires, and fraud cautionary information. Also, as public information items related to administrative operations, it includes notifying election guides, time information, traffic information, food poisoning cautionary information, infectious disease cautionary notices and countermeasures, etc. Thus, there are numerous types and contents of public information distribution, and in the event of disasters or emergencies, since the situation changes every moment, it is required to accurately and promptly deliver the public information content, distribution timing, evacuation, guidance methods, etc. to residents in a situation-appropriate manner.

(2) During disasters and evacuations, conduct public information distribution and evacuation guidance suitable for residents to ensure the safety of residents. (3) By simplifying the public information distribution operation, improve the efficiency of public information distribution and prevent misdistribution.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0011] In order to solve the above problems, an information distribution system according to this invention is an information distribution system that distributes administrative information to local residents from a public information distribution base, equipped with administrative public speakers arranged outdoors. The distribution-side terminal device of the public information distribution base and the resident-side terminal device arranged indoors of the local residents are connected to a cloud server via Internet line communication means. The cloud server stores an information table with an identification code for identifying the administrative information and a memory learning means. When the identification code is input by the distribution-side terminal device, the administrative information associated with the information table is compared with the conventional distribution information memorized and learned by the memory learning means, and is corrected and updated each time. The updated administrative information is transmitted as voice information to the resident-side terminal device simultaneously with the administrative public speaker.

[0012] In addition, in the information distribution system of the present invention, a part of the administrative information has options so as to conform to the information content to be distributed, and the identification code may be assigned for each predetermined option.

[0013] In addition, the information distribution system of the present invention can also be configured such that, in the event of a disaster, an evacuation site predetermined according to the type of disaster, the warning level, and the area of the residents is selected as the option.

[0014] In addition, the information distribution system of the present invention can also be configured such that the administrative information is automatically distributed by selecting a preset identification code so that the administrative information associated with the identification code is distributed.

[0015] In addition, the resident terminal device of the present invention is a resident terminal device that receives administrative information distributed from a publicity distribution base to local residents. The terminal device is connected to a cloud server via Internet line communication means. The cloud server stores an information table with an identification code for identifying the administrative information. When the identification code is input by the input terminal device of the publicity distribution base, the administrative information is transmitted to the resident terminal device as voice information based on the information table.

[0016] In addition, the resident terminal device of the present invention can also be configured such that the administrative information can be repeatedly played back using a recording device stored in the cloud server or the terminal device.

[0017] In addition, the resident terminal device of the present invention can also be configured such that the resident terminal device additionally includes any one or a combination of a temperature / humidity sensor, GPS, smart speaker, vital sensor, or WEB radio.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of a public information distribution device and system according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that all the explanatory diagrams and drawings described in the following examples are drawn as schematic or schematic diagrams for explaining the present invention, and the actual dimensions and shapes are not particularly limited. Also, the system configuration, dimensions, materials, shapes, their relative arrangements, and usage examples used in the examples are not intended to limit the technical scope of the invention only to those unless otherwise specified.

[0021] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the information dissemination device and system according to the present invention. Resident 1 has a terminal device 2 for receiving administrative information inside a building (indoors) such as a private house or a nursing facility where the resident lives. The terminal device (resident-side terminal device) 2 possessed by this resident includes a power supply means 3, a communication means 4, a voice processing means 5, etc., which will be described in detail later in FIG. 7, and is connected to an external network (Internet) line 6 by such a communication means 4.

[0022] Also, via this Internet line 6, the resident-side terminal device 2 is also connected to a regional disaster prevention administrative radio base station (administrative information dissemination base) 7, a monitoring center 8, or related parties 9 such as caregivers, family members, and attending medical institutions, constituting a network. At the administrative information dissemination base 7, disaster prevention warnings and information dissemination are routinely carried out from the information dissemination speakers 10 arranged for each district by disaster prevention radio broadcasts. At the information dissemination base 7, input operations are performed from a distribution-side terminal device 12 that inputs and monitors information dissemination information, and distribution is carried out.

[0023] Conventional administrative information dissemination mainly performs regional information dissemination by administrative information dissemination speakers (disaster prevention radio speakers) 10. However, the information dissemination according to the present invention performs network distribution via the Internet line 6 simultaneously with the information dissemination by these information dissemination speakers 10, so that information dissemination can be distributed from the terminal device 2 at the hand of the resident 1. The resident 1 registers a telephone number or an IP address for identifying the terminal in advance when installing the terminal device 2 to the administrative side, and sets the administrative information dissemination to be distributed to such a terminal device 2. Thereby, even when it is difficult to listen to the information dissemination speaker broadcast during a disaster such as a storm, it is possible to distribute it from the terminal device 2 to the indoor resident 1. Also, in each of the monitoring-side terminal device 13 possessed by the monitoring center 8 and the related-party-side terminal device 14 possessed by the related parties 9, it is configured to be able to view information dissemination information via the Internet line 6.

[0024] Furthermore, the Internet line 6 is connected to a cloud server (cloud) 11, and the cloud 11 stores a publicity distribution information table 15 containing publicity data related to publicity distribution. In this information table 15, message data necessary for publicity distribution is stored as a database, and it is configured to retrieve necessary publicity message data according to an instruction from the publicity distribution side terminal device 12. Also, the storage / learning means 16 in the cloud 11 is configured to store and learn the distribution status of administrative information communication and to be able to select an appropriate distribution message according to the distribution status and distribution conditions.

[0025] In the publicity distribution side terminal device 12, a publicity distribution message to be distributed is input as an identification code and sent to the cloud 11 via the communication line 6. In the cloud 11, the message corresponding to the identification code is retrieved from the publicity distribution information table 15 in which the message is stored, and the message data corresponding to the identification code is distributed to the resident side terminal device 2 via the communication line 6. The publicity distribution information table 15 stores messages to be distributed in a pre-patterned manner, and an identification code is assigned according to each message pattern and stored as a table. In the input terminal device 12 of the publicity distribution base 7, the message corresponding to the identification code is distributed as publicity just by inputting the identification code according to the distribution status and timing to be distributed. This identification code input can also be set to be performed by button selection arranged on the console (input panel) of the input terminal device 12 or the like.

[0026] Figure 2 is an example of a master table 20 for publicity distribution, which is divided into publicity distribution items 21: row A: disaster prevention, row B: life, row C: crime prevention, and row D: administrative operations. This master table 20 can be arranged on the console of the distribution-side terminal device 12 of the publicity distribution base 7 and can be either a button selection type or a text input type where characters are input by the terminal device 12. As the disaster prevention items 22 in row A, A1: typhoon, A2: flood, A3: tsunami, A4: earthquake, etc. are allocated. Here, for the convenience of explanation, the identification code for typhoon is A1, the identification code for flood is A2, the identification code for tsunami is A3, and the identification code for earthquake is A4. However, this identification code can be any code such as numbers or English letters as long as it can identify the disaster prevention items. Also, as disaster prevention items, items other than the above can be provided as additional items, or unnecessary items can be deleted.

[0027] Similar to the disaster prevention items 22, examples of the life-related publicity items 23 in row B include B1: photochemical smog, B2: notification of forest fire occurrence, B3: power outage information, B4: heat stroke caution information, etc. Examples of the crime prevention-related publicity items 24 in row C include C1: loitering notification, C2: suspicious person caution notification, C3: arson / suspicious fire caution information, C4: fraud caution information, etc. Further, examples of the administrative operations-related items 25 in row D include D1: election guide, D2: time report information, D3: traffic information, D4: food poisoning caution information, etc. The identification codes of these master tables are indicated by the combination of rows and columns of each table, but any combination of numbers or English letters can be used as long as each item can be identified. Also, the display on the keypad is an example, and the respective notification contents are shown in an abbreviated form.

[0028] Among the above-mentioned public relations distribution items 21, many of the items in row A other than the disaster prevention item 22, row B: life-related items 23, row C: crime prevention-related items 24, and row D: administrative business-related items 25 can be patterned as standard messages. Figure 3 is an example of a message pattern table 30 in which identification codes are assigned to the patterned public relations distribution information. Each local government has prepared a message pattern 31 for public relations distribution that caters to the situation of each local government for disaster prevention radio public relations, and an identification code 32 is assigned to and used for these messages. For example, in the public relations distribution of the "noon news bulletin", when "news bulletin" in D2 is selected in the master table 20 of Figure 2, several options are prepared. By selecting and inputting the identification code D2-01 "noon news bulletin" from the terminal device 12 at the public relations distribution base 7, the corresponding pattern message is selected from the public relations distribution table 15 according to the identification code D2-01, and the message "We inform you of noon. [Chime sound]" corresponding to the identification code D2-01 in Figure 3 is distributed to the resident-side terminal device 2 and each terminal device connected to the other network line 6 via the Internet line 6.

[0029] Message examples corresponding to each identification code example 33 to 38 of the identification code 32 are shown respectively. The identification code 32 can be input in text from the terminal device 12 at the public relations distribution base 7, or the identification code 32 can also be input by pressing a button. Of course, the message pattern 21 corresponding to the identification code 22 can be formulated as a unique message according to the local government and the situation, or the message can be standardized by adding "This is the ○○ local government office." as the sender at the beginning of the message 21 or adding a transmission chime.

[0030] The merit of the standardized public relations distribution in this way lies in that many of the public relations distribution messages can be automated. That is, if the identification code 32 corresponding to the public relations distribution message 31 in Figure 3 is set and registered so that it can be transmitted at a predetermined date and time, the message can be configured to be automatically transmitted for public relations at the set date and time, and any resident 1 can receive the public relations distribution message indoors by the receiving terminal device 2 via the Internet line 6.

[0031] Many regular public information distribution messages can be standardized and automatically or selectively distributed as shown in FIG. 3. However, unlike regular distribution, public information distribution during disasters such as typhoons, floods, tsunamis, and earthquakes needs to be carried out suddenly or considering many situation judgments. In such disaster prevention public information distribution accompanied by such changes in the situation, the content of the public information distribution must be sequentially changed to suit the situation. That is, in such disaster prevention public information distribution, a large number of basic patterns of disaster prevention public information distribution are prepared in advance, and the disaster occurrence situation, warning level, evacuation target, evacuation area, etc. are appropriately selected and distributed according to the public information distribution target and the situation at that time. FIG. 4 shows an example of a message table during a typhoon in disaster prevention public information distribution that makes the items to be changed or optimized in such a basic pattern selective.

[0032] When any of the disaster prevention items 22 is selected in the information master table 20 in FIG. 2, several basic pattern messages of disaster prevention public information distribution corresponding to the selected disaster prevention item are prepared and stored as a database in the public information distribution table. For example, when A1: "Typhoon" is selected in the master table 20, a message table for public information distribution during a typhoon as shown in FIG. 4 appears in the disaster prevention message table 40, and the elements of each message are selected by this message table to create a message suitable for disaster prevention public information distribution. Several such disaster prevention public information distribution messages may be prepared as basic patterns so that more appropriate ones can be selected.

[0033] In the example of the message table 40 for publicity distribution shown in FIG. 4, it is a message table for A1: "typhoon". Several selection items 43 are prepared corresponding to the elements of each message column 42 in the identification code column 41. By selecting or inputting the selection items, a message adapted to the situation can be completed. In code 11 of the identification code column 41, A1-11: the publicity entity (each local government, disaster countermeasure headquarters, police, fire department, etc.) is selected. In code 12, A1-12: the publicity reason (typhoon approaching, typhoon landing, typhoon occurrence, etc.) is selected. In code 13, A1-13: the time such as the time of issuing an alarm is indicated. In code 14, A1-14: the area to which the publicity should be distributed is selected for the distribution area. In code 15, A1-15: the content of the warning level is selected for the warning level. This warning level is selected with reference to the five-level warning level shown in the "Guidelines on Evacuation Advisories" issued by the Cabinet Office in March 2019 (hereinafter, "Evacuation Advisory Guidelines"). In code 16, A1-16: the evacuation target persons are selected, and in code 17, A1-17: the evacuation location is specified. A1-11 to 16 shown here are identification codes corresponding to the items to be selected and inserted into the respective constituent elements of the message. When all these identification codes are selected, the message 44 with the identification code [A1-101] is completed as a disaster prevention message during a typhoon.

[0034] In addition, depending on each local government, there is a need to add items for which specific warning and caution information according to regional characteristics should be transmitted as disaster prevention publicity. Such regional message table items include publicity distributions such as inland flooding, high tide damage, sluice monitoring and warning, and fishery industry damage warning, which can be considered as region-specific distribution information. FIG. 5 is an example of the disaster prevention regional message table 50. Similar to the above-mentioned disaster prevention message table 40, region-specific publicity messages 52 to be distributed are defined corresponding to each of the identification code columns 51, and the selection items 53 to be selected for the messages are selected to complete the regional message 54.

[0035] When the identification code is input into the distribution-side terminal device 12 of the public relations distribution base 7 in this way, a distribution message is configured by the public relations distribution information table 15 in the cloud 11 via the Internet line 6. The configured distribution message is transmitted as message data to the resident-side terminal device 2 and other related departments, enabling disaster prevention public relations distribution suitable for the disaster situation to the terminal device 2 owned by the resident 2.

[0036] Also, in disaster prevention public relations distribution, since it often involves the lives of residents, appropriate public relations distribution is required considering various related laws and regulations guidelines, weather information, hazard maps, disaster prevention timelines, etc. Therefore, the content of the disaster prevention public relations distribution message during a disaster takes into account various conditions and restrictions, and timely and rapid distribution is required. In order to perform more accurate distribution in a timely manner according to the situation, in the present invention, each limiting condition is applied to the distribution message, and consideration is given to correcting incorrect message content.

[0037] When conducting public relations distribution such as evacuation advisories, it is first necessary to create a public relations distribution message in the form that conforms to the aforementioned "Guidelines on Evacuation Advisories". In this guideline, the warning level is divided into five levels, and for each level, "actions that residents should take" and "information that should be urged to residents, etc." are shown. At warning level 1, as "enhancing preparedness for disasters", a public relations message stating that it is "a warning-level possibility (early warning information)" is issued. At warning level 2, as "confirming one's own evacuation actions", a "cautionary message" is issued. At warning level 3, as "elderly people, etc. should evacuate and others should make evacuation preparations", a public relations message stating that "evacuation preparations and elderly people, etc. should evacuate" is issued. At warning level 4, as "taking evacuation actions", an "evacuation advisory, evacuation instruction (urgent)" is issued. At warning level 5, as "a disaster has already occurred, take the best actions to protect lives", a "disaster occurrence information" is transmitted. The guideline targets floods, landslides, high tides, and inland water flooding as disasters, but each administrative department conducts disaster prevention public relations distribution during various disasters after considering the local situation. Therefore, each administrative department creates a prototype (standard form) of the public relations distribution message along with each warning level according to the actual situation of the region.

[0038] In addition, in each administrative region, it is necessary to determine at which time point evacuation advisories or warnings should be issued for which areas. For floods, landslides, inundation by inland waters, overtopping, etc. associated with disasters, the determination of the affected areas along the hazard maps published by the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan, etc. based on measurements in each area and the volcanic hazard maps published by the Disaster Prevention Science and Technology Institute should be taken into consideration. Hazard maps predict damage caused by natural disasters and show the affected areas, degrees, etc. on maps. Since the origin, topography, shape, and characteristics of the land are actually measured and analyzed, and the assumed damage areas are clearly indicated, they are conditions that can be used as references for evacuation routes and guidance during disasters.

[0039] Furthermore, in disaster prevention public announcements, it is required to make appropriate distributions along the timeline and disaster prevention plan. In many local governments, assuming situations that may occur on the premise of disasters such as typhoons, they have formulated a disaster prevention plan that arranges in chronological order ▲1▼ when, ▲2▼ who, and ▲3▼ what disaster prevention actions should be taken, and defined it as a timeline. For example, in the case of a typhoon, taking the typhoon's landfall (or approach) as the zero hour (reference point), local government countermeasure preparations are made 5 days before, notifications are made through disaster prevention public announcements 4 days before, disaster prevention facilities such as floodgates are inspected 3 days before, disaster prevention notifications are issued, evacuation shelters are opened 2 days before, and notifications of the issuance of heavy rain warnings, etc. are made. On the day of the typhoon's approach, timely public announcements along the timeline plan, such as various warnings, cautionary messages, river flooding risk information, evacuation information, evacuation instructions, and notifications of the suspension of public transportation, are required. Also, after the typhoon passes, warnings about wind and rain, warnings and vigilance against landslides, warnings about river water level rises, and notifications of the damage situation (damage situation of roads, bridges, traffic during the period) occur.

[0040] For disaster notification distribution, as described above, (1) the disaster occurrence situation and evacuation guidance notification in accordance with the evacuation advisory guidelines (warning level), (2) the determination of the damage assumption area by a hazard map, etc., and the evacuation notification to the residents in the damage assumption area, (3) the determination of the disaster information transmission timing by a timeline, etc. need to be considered in advance as the distribution conditions (disaster notification conditions during disasters). Therefore, the notification distribution information table according to the present invention is configured to refer to the above disaster notification conditions during disasters. In addition, as the natural phenomenon changes, the disaster situation, evacuation situation, etc. change moment by moment, and accordingly, the administrative notification distribution is forced to appropriately respond and notify, so meteorological information (weather conditions) is considered as a disaster notification condition during disasters.

[0041] For disaster notification distribution during disasters, it is the case when disaster prevention related items in column A of the master table 20 in FIG. 2 occur, such as A1: "typhoon", A2: "flood", A3: "tsunami", A4: "earthquake", etc. In the disasters corresponding to this disaster prevention related item 22, since it is necessary to consider the above disaster notification conditions during disasters, conditional setting is performed to specify the notification distribution message content, transmission area, and transmission date and time by the disaster notification condition table 60 as shown in FIG. 6. For example, in the case of A1: "typhoon" in the disaster prevention item, first, when A1: "typhoon" is selected in the master table 20, the disaster notification condition table 60 is displayed, and the notification conditions of column a: weather condition 62, column b: warning level 63, column c: timeline 64, column d: hazard map 65, and column e: regional characteristics 66 are shown. For each notification condition, the items to be set in detail are tabulated and displayed. The detailed items of this disaster notification condition table 60 are for setting the conditions of what kind of notification distribution (notification content), at what time point (when), and to which area (target area) it is to be performed.

[0042] As meteorological conditions 62 based on meteorological information, selection items such as a1: "wind and rain", a2: "flooding", a3: "violent storm", a4: "temperature", etc. are exemplified. a1: "wind and rain" is the predicted wind speed and predicted rainfall due to a typhoon. Each local government sets predetermined values and reference values for the predicted wind speed and predicted rainfall for issuing wind and rain cautionary advisories and warnings, and the setting criteria for various warnings due to wind and rain are pre-entered. a2: "flooding" estimates where floor flooding and above-floor flooding will occur when the rainfall exceeds a certain amount, and refers to the conditions of the hazard map to prepare for issuing flooding cautionary advisories and warnings. a3: "violent storm" shows the predicted maximum wind speed of the violent storm for each region. When the wind speed is predicted to be above a certain value, it is a reference item for issuing cautionary advisories on public transportation, preparing for alerts on highways, etc., notifications, and instructions. Also, a4: "temperature" sets conditions such as the temperature and humidity at which a heatstroke warning should be issued, and in cold regions, the temperature at which a low-temperature cautionary advisory, freezing warning, snowstorm cautionary advisory, snowfall cautionary advisory, etc. should be issued. These items are the basic conditions for disaster prevention publicity, and are the criteria for determining other alert levels, timelines, hazard maps, and regional characteristics. Also, since meteorological conditions change every moment, it is conceivable that the operator inputs meteorological information from the Meteorological Agency, or some meteorological information is automatically imported from the digital data announced by the Meteorological Agency.

[0043] Next, as alert levels 63, selection items such as b1: "Level 1", b2: "Level 2", b3: "Level 3", b4: "Level", etc. are exemplified. Each level indicates the level of the "Evacuation Advisory Guidelines" shown by the Cabinet Office mentioned above. Each local government judges the disaster situation and determines which level it is according to the guidelines.

[0044] Next, as timelines 64, selection items such as c1: "2 days ago", c2: "the day before", c3: "morning of the day", c4: "afternoon of the day", etc. are exemplified. Each sets the conditions for what kind of publicity distribution to prepare and conduct for each timeline of the typhoon's approach formulated in the timeline-disaster prevention plan.

[0045] Next, as the hazard map 65, selection items such as d1: "flooding", d2: "overtopping", d3: "landslide", d4: "breach", etc. are exemplified. Each of them conditions the disaster area based on the hazard map. That is, according to the hazard map formulated based on the predicted rainfall amount, temperature, etc. based on the weather conditions, flood prediction areas, overtopping areas, landslide areas, breach areas, etc. are predicted, and public information dissemination is carried out to the residents of those predicted areas.

[0046] Next, as the regional characteristics 66, selection items such as e1: "inland water", e2: "high tide", e3: "floodgate", e4: "fisheries", etc. are exemplified. Each of them conditions the region-specific public information dissemination based on the regional characteristics of each local government. In this exemplification, detailed condition items are provided assuming that public information dissemination such as inland water flooding, high tide damage, floodgate monitoring and warning, fisheries damage warning, etc. is necessary as region-specific public information dissemination.

[0047] In such a configuration, as for the public information dissemination for typhoon disasters, when A1 "typhoon" is selected by the master table 20 in FIG. 2, the weather conditions 62 in the disaster-time public information condition table 60 in FIG. 6 are input based on the meteorological information of the Japan Meteorological Agency, and when the warning level 63 is selected, the content of the public information dissemination (information prompting actions: evacuation advice, instructions, preparations, start, disaster occurrence situation, etc.) is selected, and the timeline 64 selects what kind of preparations and public information dissemination are necessary with the time of typhoon approach as the reference time, and the area selected by the hazard map 65 is specified. As a result, the public information dissemination is conditioned and specified as to when (at which point in time), to whom, and what kind of content of the public information dissemination should be carried out.

[0048] That is, by providing the disaster-time public information dissemination conditions as the disaster prevention public information dissemination messages, the distribution messages suitable for those conditions are selected. Furthermore, if these messages have appropriate conditions, the optimal distribution message candidates are selected, or they can be distributed simply by selecting from the narrowed-down messages, and it becomes possible to set the distribution content, distribution target, and distribution area in a timely manner. Also, since these distribution messages are processed after being encoded with identification codes, the data volume is small and rapid process processing can be performed.

[0049] Also, in the disaster prevention public information distribution system of the present invention, a memory learning means 16 is provided in the cloud 11, and the message content, time, region, target person, disaster conditions, evacuation shelter information, and related matters such as the meteorological conditions of disasters, flooding situations, and evacuation routes in the public information are recorded and learned by the memory learning means 16. Particularly in the case of disaster prevention public information, as the scale of natural disasters expands year by year, unexpected events occur, so it is necessary to modify and change the public information distribution timing, evacuation guidance method, evacuation targets, evacuation areas, etc. each time. By feeding back the results of these public information distributions and comparing them with the memory learning based on past distributions, it is possible to always optimize the disaster prevention public information distribution.

[0050] Next, the configuration of such a public information distribution receiving terminal device 2 will be described. FIG. 7 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of the public information distribution message receiving terminal device 2. If the receiving device 2 is only for receiving messages, it is composed of a communication means 4, a power supply means 3, an audio processing means 5, a speaker 74, an MPU (Micro Processor Unit) processing means 76, and the like. The communication means 4 can be any communication means as long as it can be connected to the Internet line 6 and can directly access the terminal device by a telephone number, IP address, etc., such as a telephone line or a wireless LAN (Local Area Network). When the main purpose is to receive the identification data of the public information distribution, it only requires an extremely small data capacity, and some data processing, data storage / learning, and data tables are stored and processed on the cloud. Therefore, the processing in the receiving terminal device 2 can be configured to be extremely simple and small-sized.

[0051] The power supply means 3 is normally connected to an AC power supply, but is configured to be portable and taken outdoors even during disasters by battery drive and can be driven. Also, the power supply is always in the on state and operating, or even in the sleep state, when a public information distribution message is issued, the device is immediately activated to the on state. The communication means 4 receives public information distribution message data from the Internet line, demodulates the message data signal input by the voice processing means 5 into a voice message - analog signal, amplifies it, and delivers it as a voice message from the speaker 74. The communication means 4 and the voice processing means 5 exchange data via a common bus 75. These processings are performed by the MPU processing means 76 via the common bus 75.

[0052] This resident - side terminal device 2 needs to be configured to be always in the on state or the sleep state and be able to perform distribution when a public information distribution message is issued. Therefore, while the message is not being distributed, functions such as resident monitoring are provided to enable constant message reception. As an example of a resident monitoring device, a temperature - humidity sensor can be considered. A temperature - humidity sensor 77 can be provided in this terminal device 2 and configured to notify the temperature and humidity by voice. Also, it is possible to detect the heatstroke warning level from the temperature and humidity data, and when the heatstroke warning level is reached, issue a "heatstroke warning alert" signal to the resident's terminal by voice, transmit it to the terminal device 13 of the monitoring center 8 or the terminal device 14 of the relevant person 9, or control an air conditioner, etc. with this alert signal. Such a heatstroke warning alert is an essential function for supported persons such as the elderly and disabled whose death cases due to heatstroke have been increasing in recent years, and thus becomes a useful function in combination with the public information distribution reception function.

[0053] Also, the confirmation button 78 is connected to the Internet line via the common bus 75. This confirmation button 78 enables two-way communication when the button is pressed, and can be used for receiving confirmation of publicity messages, repeat playback, or as an emergency call in case of an emergency such as when something abnormal happens to the resident. This repeat playback can be used to confirm the receipt of publicity messages recorded in the storage and learning means 16 in the cloud 11 and simultaneously perform repeat playback by pressing the confirmation button 77 during a disaster or a disaster prevention emergency notification. If a two-way communication function is not provided, an emergency notification may be recorded in the storage means or buffer memory provided in the terminal device 2 to enable repeat playback by the confirmation button 78. Also, such button functions can be provided with multiple buttons for different purposes such as family contact and contact with the attending doctor, and can also function as an emergency call button to family members, caregivers, or attending doctors within the necessary range for monitoring.

[0054] Furthermore, in such a terminal device 2, various resident monitoring means can be configured by utilizing the fact that two-way communication is possible by connecting to the Internet line 6 through the communication means 4. Such monitoring means may include an AI (artificial intelligence) speaker (or smart speaker) 79 including a microphone 80 for voice input, a vital sensor 71, a GPS (Global Positioning System) 72, a web radio 73, and the like. By adding the AI speaker 79, an interactive search system by voice is constructed, enabling the resident to give instructions or commands by voice to the microphone 80 for emergency assistance response, contact with family members, confirmation of safety, etc., thereby enabling situation communication, assistance request, confirmation of safety, etc.

[0055] In addition, if a vital sensor 71 for measuring heartbeat and body movement by a remote sensor is added, it is expected to expand functions such as monitoring the vital data of residents and notifying relevant parties of an alert in case of an abnormality. When GPS 72 is added, taking this terminal outdoors during a disaster, etc., can help identify the location of the resident and provide voice guidance to an evacuation shelter. Also, by incorporating WEB radio 73, it can receive radio programs from the Internet line. In addition to collecting news and information during a disaster, etc., when administrative distribution messages are distributed while being utilized as a radio function in daily life, the distribution messages can be listened to and confirmed indoors.

[0056] As described above, in the present invention, in the distribution of disaster prevention messages that require urgency and involve many types and message contents, by patternizing and situation-selecting with an identification code, the publicity distribution messages by each local government can be distributed more simply and efficiently. The publicity distribution during a disaster or an emergency can be made accurate, and errors in the publicity distribution can be reduced. Furthermore, since the disaster prevention alerts and publicity distribution communicated by disaster prevention administration radio using a telephone line with constant connection or a network line such as a wireless LAN are directly delivered to each resident's terminal device, more reliable publicity distribution communication becomes possible.

Industrial Applicability

[0057] In the publicity distribution device and system according to the present invention, it is possible to configure an accurate and situation-suitable disaster prevention alert and publicity distribution message with a simple system, and to construct a system that can surely deliver them to residents. Therefore, it can be widely used for administrative, industrial, and personal life purposes, etc., and the industrial applicability is expanded.
