Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0005] The evacuee information management system of Patent Document 1 distributes list band identification information, QR codes (registered trademarks), etc. to facilitate the acceptance of evacuees into the evacuation shelter. However, in the evacuee information management system of Patent Document 1, since evacuees need to register their personal information in advance, it is impossible to smoothly accept evacuees who have not registered their personal information in advance into the evacuation shelter.
[0006] An example of the object of the present disclosure is to facilitate the admission procedures of evacuees to the evacuation shelter. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the evacuee management device in one aspect of this disclosure is: When a terminal device receives first evacuee information, which includes information sufficient to identify a first evacuee within the evacuation center who has not pre-registered before entering the evacuation center, a generation unit generates first evacuee identification information corresponding to the first evacuee based on the first evacuee information, A transmitting / receiving unit that transmits the generated first evacuee identification information to the terminal device, It is characterized by having the following features.
[0008] Furthermore, in order to achieve the above objectives, the method of managing evacuees in one aspect of this disclosure is: Information processing device When a terminal device receives first evacuee information that includes information sufficient to identify a first evacuee who has not pre-registered before entering the evacuation center, it generates first evacuee identification information corresponding to the first evacuee based on the first evacuee information. The generated first evacuee identification information is transmitted to the terminal device. It is characterized by the following:
[0009] Furthermore, in order to achieve the above objectives, the program in one aspect of this disclosure is On the computer, When a terminal device receives first evacuee information that includes information sufficient to identify a first evacuee who has not pre-registered before entering the evacuation center, it generates first evacuee identification information corresponding to the first evacuee based on the first evacuee information. The generated first evacuee identification information is transmitted to the terminal device using the communication unit. The characteristic feature is that it causes the process to be executed. [Effects of the Invention]
[0010] As described above, this disclosure makes it possible to facilitate the procedures for evacuees to enter evacuation shelters. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0011] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating the steps involved in entering an evacuation shelter. [Figure 2] Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of an evacuation management system. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a system with an evacuation management device. [Figure 4] Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a terminal device. [Figure 5] Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation of the evacuation management device (generation of images for evacuation center services). [Figure 6] Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation of the evacuation management device (presentation of shelter services). [Figure 7] Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation of a terminal device. [Figure 8] Figure 8 shows an example of a computer that implements an evacuation management system. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0012] First, to facilitate understanding of the embodiments described below, we will provide an overview. Figure 1 is a diagram illustrating the steps involved in entering an evacuation shelter. Figure 1A shows the steps involved in entering a conventional evacuation shelter. In the example of Figure 1A, after evacuees arrive at the evacuation shelter (e.g., shelter, evacuation site), dedicated staff at the reception desk set up at the shelter handle the admission procedures (reception counter processing).
[0013] However, when conducting the window processing as in the prior art, the admission procedures for evacuees who have not registered in advance (for example, evacuees who do not own a terminal device, evacuees who cannot operate the terminal device sufficiently, evacuees who cannot understand the admission procedures, etc.) become complicated, so it takes time to complete the admission. Specifically, the problems shown in the following (1), (2), and (3) occur.
[0014] (1) For evacuees who have not registered in advance, procedures such as inputting evacuee information (personal information that can be provided) are required, so the admission procedures cannot be carried out quickly and smoothly. Therefore, evacuees who have not registered in advance take time to enter the shelter. Furthermore, if there are evacuees who have not registered in advance and there are evacuees waiting for the admission procedures behind them who have not registered in advance, the admission of evacuees who have registered in advance will also be delayed.
[0015] (2) Even in a pre-designated shelter (designated shelter), it may not be possible to ensure a sufficient number of dedicated staff for the reception work. Therefore, for shelters that are temporarily opened (self-evacuation shelters), it is even more difficult to secure dedicated staff.
[0016] (3) In window processing, when using a center server (cloud server), if the communication line cannot be used due to congestion, interruption, etc., the admission procedures cannot be carried out, so it becomes difficult to admit evacuees to the shelter (register evacuees).
[0017] Through such a process, the inventor found the problems shown in the above (1), (2), and (3), and at the same time derived means to solve the related problems. As a result, it became possible to easily admit evacuees to the shelter. As a result, the management work in the shelter can be reduced.
[0018] In other words, to solve the problems of (1) and (2), as shown in Figure 1B, the admission procedures at the evacuation center were made easier even for evacuees who had not pre-registered (reception terminal processing). Furthermore, to solve the problem of (3), if communication lines were unavailable, the admission procedures could be continued using the evacuation center's internal network.
[0019] Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the drawings described below, elements having the same function or corresponding function will be denoted by the same reference numeral, and repeated descriptions of such elements may be omitted.
[0020] (Embodiment) The configuration of the evacuee management device in the embodiment will be explained using Figure 2. Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of an evacuee management device. [Device configuration] The evacuee management device shown in Figure 2 is a device that facilitates the entry procedures for evacuees who have not pre-registered into evacuation shelters. Also, as shown in Figure 2, the evacuee management device 10 has a generation unit 11 and a transmission / reception unit 12.
[0021] When the generation unit 11 receives evacuee information from the terminal device 20 via the evacuation center network 30 installed in the evacuation center, which includes information sufficient to identify evacuees who have not pre-registered before entering the evacuation center (primary evacuees) within the evacuation center, it generates evacuee identification information (primary evacuee identification information) corresponding to the evacuee based on the evacuee information. Here, the terminal device 20 does not necessarily have to be a terminal device owned by the evacuee.
[0022] The transmitting / receiving unit 12 transmits the generated evacuee identification information to the terminal device 20 via the evacuation center network 30.
[0023] Thus, in this embodiment, evacuees who have not pre-registered can register their evacuation identification information at the evacuation center, making the procedure for evacuees to enter the evacuation center easier. As a result, the administrative work at the evacuation center can be reduced.
[0024] [System Configuration] Next, the configuration of the evacuee management device 10 in the embodiment will be explained in more detail using Figure 3. Figure 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of a system having an evacuee management device. Note that the example in Figure 3 shows a case where communication between the terminal device 20 and the evacuee management device 10 and the information processing device 50 becomes difficult due to congestion, blockage (× in Figure 3), etc.
[0025] The system 100 shown in Figure 3 includes an evacuee management device 10, one or more terminal devices 20 (20a, 20b, 20c, etc.), an internal network 30 within the evacuation center, an external network 40, an information processing device 50, and an output device 60.
[0026] The evacuee management device 10 is an information processing device installed in the evacuation center, such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a programmable device such as an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), or a circuit, server computer, personal computer, or mobile terminal equipped with one or more of these.
[0027] The terminal device 20 is an information processing device such as a personal computer or mobile terminal equipped with a CPU, FPGA, or both. The terminal device 20 is also equipped with an imaging device (not shown).
[0028] In an evacuation center, the terminal device 20 accesses the evacuee management device 10 via the evacuation center network 30 to perform the procedure for entering the evacuation center. Furthermore, if the evacuee management device 10 is present and communication is difficult due to congestion, disruption, etc. (i.e., communication lines cannot be used), the terminal device 20 accesses the evacuee management device 10 via the evacuation center network 30 to perform the procedure for entering the evacuation center.
[0029] On the other hand, if there is no evacuee management device 10 and communication is stable (i.e., a communication line is available), the terminal device 20 may directly access the information processing device 50 (main server) via the external network 40 to perform the procedure for entering the evacuation center.
[0030] The shelter network 30 is a network established in the shelter that enables communication between the evacuee management device 10 and the terminal device 20. Specifically, the shelter network 30 is constructed using at least an access point 30a, a router 30b, etc. Specifically, the shelter network 30 may be constructed using Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) (registered trademark), Bluetooth (registered trademark), etc.
[0031] The external network 40 is a network that enables communication with the cloud side (for example, an information processing device 50 such as a data center). Specifically, the external network 40 is a general network constructed using communication lines such as the Internet, LAN (Local Area Network), dedicated lines, telephone lines, corporate networks, mobile communication networks, Bluetooth®, and Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity)®.
[0032] The information processing device 50 is located outside the evacuation center (on the cloud side (for example, a data center)) and includes, for example, a CPU, a programmable device such as an FPGA, a GPU, or a circuit equipped with one or more of these, or a server computer (main server).
[0033] Furthermore, if communication is stable (i.e., communication lines are available), the information processing device 50 may communicate directly with the terminal device 20 and execute the procedures for entering the evacuation center on the information processing device 50.
[0034] The output device 60 acquires a two-dimensional code (output information), which will be described later, and outputs the two-dimensional code. The output device 60 is, for example, an image display device using liquid crystal, organic EL (Electro Luminescence), or CRT (Cathode Ray Tube). Furthermore, the image display device may also be equipped with an audio output device such as a speaker. The output device 60 may also be a printing device such as a printer.
[0035] ●The terminal device will be explained in detail. Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a terminal device. The terminal device 20 includes an imaging unit 21, a control unit 22, a transmitting / receiving unit 23, and a storage unit 24.
[0036] The imaging unit 21 captures an image for initiating the admission procedure, which is used to start the admission procedure, and outputs the image for initiating the admission procedure to the control unit 22.
[0037] The image used to initiate the admission process includes, for example, text, barcodes, and QR codes containing admission information to start the admission process. This image is displayed, for example, at evacuation centers.
[0038] The admission procedure information is information that enables communication between the terminal device 20 and the evacuee management device 10 using the network 30 within the evacuation center. The admission procedure information may also include evacuation center identification information to identify the evacuation center, and evacuation center location information indicating the location of the evacuation center where the image for initiating the admission procedure is posted.
[0039] The control unit 22, the transmitting / receiving unit 23, and the storage unit 24 acquire the admission procedure information contained in the admission procedure commencement image, and then execute the following processes (a1) and (a2).
[0040] Processing of (a1) First, when the control unit 22 obtains admission procedure information, it starts the pre-installed admission procedure application software (hereinafter referred to as "app").
[0041] After the app is launched, evacuees who have not pre-registered use the app's input form to enter their evacuation information. Next, the control unit 22 retrieves the entered evacuation information.
[0042] Evacuee information is primary evacuee information that includes enough information to identify evacuees within the evacuation center. Evacuee information includes at least the evacuee's name, date of birth, etc. However, the name-related information should be such that it allows for the identification of the evacuee, such as the name written in katakana, hiragana, nickname, or pet name.
[0043] The reason for limiting the information to what can identify evacuees within the shelter is that using personal information as is could lead to misuse.
[0044] Next, the transmitting / receiving unit 23 transmits evacuee information to the evacuee management device 10. Subsequently, when the transmitting / receiving unit 23 receives evacuee identification information corresponding to the evacuee, which has been generated by the evacuee management device 10, the control unit 22 stores the evacuee identification information in the storage unit 24.
[0045] The app also has a function to generate images for shelter services (e.g., barcodes, QR codes, etc.) based on evacuee identification information.
[0046] Furthermore, the terminal device 20 does not have to be a terminal device owned by the evacuee. Specifically, since some evacuees who have not pre-registered may have difficulty operating the terminal device 20 (for example, people with disabilities, the elderly, foreigners, etc.), it may be possible to input not only the evacuee's own information (first evacuee information) but also the information of other evacuees, such as family members, relatives, neighbors, and even travelers (second evacuee information), using the terminal device 20.
[0047] However, when transmitting the evacuee information of a second evacuee (second evacuee information) from the terminal device 20, it is desirable to obtain the consent of the second evacuee before transmission. Therefore, it is conceivable to add consent information to the second evacuee information indicating that the consent of the second evacuee has been obtained. To confirm consent, for example, a registration consent button could be provided on the user interface for the user to press during registration. Alternatively, a registration consent check could be provided, fingerprint authentication could be used, or the user could be asked to sign.
[0048] Processing of (a2) First, if the control unit 22 has obtained admission procedure information and the application is not already installed, it displays an input form for the browser provided by the evacuee management device 10.
[0049] Evacuees who have not pre-registered use a browser input form to enter evacuee information, including any personal information they are willing to provide. Next, the control unit 22 retrieves the entered evacuee information.
[0050] Next, the transmitting / receiving unit 23 transmits evacuee information to the evacuee management device 10. Subsequently, when the transmitting / receiving unit 23 receives an image for shelter services (e.g., a string of characters, a barcode, a QR code, etc.) generated by the evacuee management device 10 based on the evacuee identification information corresponding to the evacuee, the control unit 22 stores the image for shelter services in the storage unit 24.
[0051] In addition, whether or not the terminal device 20 can connect to the external network 40, the terminal device 20 is normally connected to the evacuee management device 10 via the evacuation center network 30.
[0052] However, if there is no evacuee management device 10 and the terminal device 20 can connect to the external network 40, the control unit 22, the transmitting / receiving unit 23, and the storage unit 24 may, after acquiring the admission procedure information contained in the admission procedure commencement image, perform the following processes (a3) and (a4).
[0053] Processing of (a3) The control unit 22 first launches the application if it has obtained admission procedure information, is able to connect to the external network 40, and has the application pre-installed.
[0054] After the app is launched, evacuees who have not pre-registered use the app's input form to enter evacuee information, including any personal information they can provide. Next, the control unit 22 retrieves the entered evacuee information.
[0055] Next, the transmitting / receiving unit 23 transmits evacuee information to the information processing device 50. Subsequently, when the transmitting / receiving unit 23 receives evacuee identification information corresponding to the evacuee, which has been generated by the information processing device 50, the control unit 22 stores the evacuee identification information in the storage unit 24.
[0056] Processing of (a4) If the control unit 22 has first obtained admission procedure information, is able to connect to the external network 40, and no application is pre-installed, it displays an input form for the browser provided by the information processing device 50.
[0057] Evacuees who have not pre-registered use a browser input form to enter evacuee information, including any personal information they are willing to provide. Next, the control unit 22 retrieves the entered evacuee information.
[0058] Next, the transmitting / receiving unit 23 transmits evacuee information to the information processing device 50. Subsequently, when the transmitting / receiving unit 23 receives an image for shelter services (e.g., a string of characters, a barcode, a QR code, etc.) generated by the information processing device 50 based on the evacuee identification information corresponding to the evacuee, the control unit 22 stores the image for shelter services in the storage unit 24.
[0059] ● We will explain the evacuation management system in detail. The evacuee management device 10 in Figure 3 includes a generation unit 11, a transmission / reception unit 12, a registration unit 13, an image generation unit 14 for evacuation shelter services, an imaging unit 15, and a display unit 16.
[0060] When the evacuation shelter service image generation unit 14 receives a request to generate an image for evacuation shelter services (evacuation shelter service image generation request), it uses the evacuee identification information generated by the generation unit 11 to generate an image for evacuation shelter services (for example, a string of characters, a barcode, a QR code, etc.) for each evacuee.
[0061] Specifically, when registering an evacuationer's admission to the shelter, the shelter service image generation unit 14 generates an image for the shelter service using at least date and time information representing the date and time of admission registration, evacuee identification information (first evacuee identification information or the second evacuee identification information), evacuee management device identification information to identify the evacuee management device 10, and shelter identification information to identify the shelter.
[0062] The images (IDs) used for shelter services will be used, for example, to provide information about services at shelters and to check items during the distribution of supplies.
[0063] Next, if no input form request has been received, the transmission / reception unit 12 transmits the generated image for the shelter service to the terminal device 20 via the shelter network 30. The registration unit 13 also registers the evacuee identification information in the storage device.
[0064] (Presentation of evacuation shelter services) The imaging unit 15 captures the image for the evacuation shelter service displayed on the terminal device 20 in order to start the service at the evacuation shelter. In the example in Figure 3, the imaging unit 15 is located inside, but it may also be located outside.
[0065] The display unit 16, upon acquiring an image for evacuation shelter services, enables the display of evacuation shelter information. Furthermore, if the application is available on the terminal device 20, the display unit 16 generates information about evacuation shelter services that can be displayed in the application, using the evacuation shelter information requested by the evacuee. Subsequently, the transmission / reception unit 12 transmits the information about evacuation shelter services that can be displayed in the application to the terminal device 20 via the evacuation shelter network 30.
[0066] Shelter information describes the services available to evacuees at shelters. These services may include, for example, confirming the whereabouts of family members who have registered at the shelter, and providing information about daily life at the shelter (e.g., information on operational toilets, bathing days, waste disposal procedures, complaints, etc.).
[0067] Furthermore, the display unit 16 is configured to display shelter information when it acquires an image for shelter services. However, if the application is unavailable on the terminal device 20, it uses the shelter information to generate information about shelter services that can be displayed in the browser. Subsequently, the transmission / reception unit 12 transmits the information about shelter services that can be displayed in the browser to the terminal device 20 via the shelter network 30.
[0068] (others) The evacuee management device 10 can present the status of evacuees to evacuees and administrators by aggregating images (IDs) for evacuation shelter services. Furthermore, if the evacuee management device 10 can connect to an external network 40, it transmits the aggregated results to an information processing device 50 located outside the evacuation shelter (on the cloud side (e.g., a data center)) for storage.
[0069] ●The information processing device will be explained in detail. If there is no evacuee management device 10 and the terminal device 20 can connect to the external network 40, the information processing device 50 performs the same operations as the evacuee management device 10: generating images for evacuation shelter services and presenting information related to evacuation shelter services.
[0070] Furthermore, the information processing device 50 acquires aggregated results from multiple evacuee management devices 10 and stores the aggregated results.
[0071] [Device operation] ●The operation of the evacuation management system will be explained in detail. Next, the operation of the terminal device in the embodiment will be explained using Figure 5. Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation of the evacuee management device (generation of images for shelter services). Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation of the evacuee management device (presentation of shelter services). In the following explanation, refer to the figures as appropriate. In addition, in this embodiment, the evacuee management method is implemented by operating the evacuee management device. Therefore, the explanation of the evacuee management method in this embodiment will be replaced by the following explanation of the operation of the evacuee management device.
[0072] (Generating images for evacuation shelter services) As shown in Figure 5, when the transmitting / receiving unit 12 first receives a request for an input form from the terminal device 20 (Step A1: Yes), it transmits the input form to the terminal device 20 via the shelter network 30 (Step A2).
[0073] Furthermore, if the transmitting / receiving unit 12 does not receive a request for an input form from the terminal device 20 (step A1: No), the process proceeds to step A3.
[0074] Next, if the system receives evacuee information that includes personal information of evacuees who have not pre-registered (Step A3: Yes), and does not receive a request to generate an image for evacuation shelter services (request to generate an image for evacuation shelter services) (Step A4: No), the generation unit 11 generates evacuee identification information corresponding to the evacuee based on the evacuee information (Step A5).
[0075] Next, the transmitting / receiving unit 12 transmits the generated evacuee identification information to the terminal device 20 via the evacuation center network 30 (step A6). Next, the registration unit 13 stores the evacuee identification information in memory and registers the evacuee's admission (step A7).
[0076] If no evacuee information, including personal information of evacuees who have not pre-registered, has been received (Step A3: No), the process will proceed to Step A1.
[0077] Next, when the image generation unit 14 for shelter services receives a request for an input form (Step A4: Yes), it uses the evacuee identification information generated by the generation unit 11 to generate an image for shelter services (e.g., text, barcode, QR code, etc.) for each evacuee (Step A8).
[0078] Next, the transmitting / receiving unit 12 transmits the generated images for the evacuation shelter service to the terminal device 20 via the evacuation shelter network 30 (step A9). The registration unit 13 also registers the evacuee identification information (step A10).
[0079] (Presentation of evacuation shelter services) As shown in Figure 6, the imaging unit 15 first captures an image for the evacuation shelter service displayed on the terminal device 20 in order to start the service at the evacuation shelter.
[0080] Next, if the display unit 16 has acquired an image for shelter services (Step B1: Yes), it detects shelter information, and if the application is available on the terminal device 20 (Step B2: Yes), it generates information about shelter services that can be displayed in the application using the shelter information (Step B3). After that, the transmission / reception unit 12 transmits the information about shelter services that can be displayed in the application to the terminal device 20 via the shelter network 30 (Step B4). If an image for shelter services is not acquired (Step B1: No), the unit waits for the image to be acquired.
[0081] Furthermore, if the display unit 16 acquires an image for shelter services (Step B1: Yes), it detects shelter information, and if the application is unavailable on the terminal device 20 (Step B2: No), it uses the shelter information to generate information about shelter services that can be displayed in the browser (Step B5). Subsequently, the transmission / reception unit 12 transmits the information about shelter services that can be displayed in the browser to the terminal device 20 via the shelter network 30 (Step B6).
[0082] ●The operation of the terminal device will be explained in detail. Next, the operation of the terminal device in the embodiment will be described using Figure 7. Figure 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of the operation of the terminal device. In the following description, the diagram will be referred to as appropriate. In this embodiment, the processing method of the terminal device is performed by operating the terminal device. Therefore, the explanation of the processing method of the terminal device in this embodiment will be replaced by the following explanation of the operation of the terminal device.
[0083] As shown in Figure 7, the control unit 22, the transmitting / receiving unit 23, and the storage unit 24 acquire the admission procedure information contained in the admission procedure commencement image, and then perform the following processes (a1) and (a2).
[0084] Processing of (a1) If the control unit 22 first obtains admission procedure information (Step C1: Yes), it connects to the evacuation center network 30 (Step C2).
[0085] Next, if it is already installed (Step C3: Yes), the admission procedure app is launched. After the app is launched, evacuees who have not pre-registered use the app's input form to enter evacuee information, including any personal information they can provide. Next, the control unit 22 retrieves the entered evacuee information (Step C4).
[0086] Next, the transmitting / receiving unit 23 transmits evacuee information to the evacuee management device 10 (step C5). Subsequently, if the transmitting / receiving unit 23 receives evacuee identification information corresponding to the evacuee, which has been generated by the evacuee management device 10 (step C6: Yes), the control unit 22 stores the evacuee identification information in the storage unit 24 (step C7).
[0087] Processing of (a2) If the control unit 22 first obtains admission procedure information (Step C1: Yes), it connects to the evacuation center network 30 (Step C2).
[0088] Next, if the app is not already installed (Step C3: No), the evacuation management device 10 displays an input form provided by the browser. Evacuees who have not pre-registered use the browser's input form to enter evacuation information, including any personal information they can provide. Next, the control unit 22 retrieves the entered evacuee information (Step C8).
[0089] Next, the transmitting / receiving unit 23 transmits evacuee information to the evacuee management device 10 (step C9). Subsequently, if the transmitting / receiving unit 23 receives an image for shelter services generated by the evacuee management device 10 based on the evacuee identification information corresponding to the evacuee (step C10: Yes), the control unit 22 stores the image for shelter services in the storage unit 24 (step C11).
[0090] [Effects of the Embodiment] As described above, according to this embodiment, even evacuees who have not pre-registered can proceed with the admission procedure by reading the admission procedure commencement image posted at the evacuation center and connecting their terminal device to the evacuation center's network. In other words, evacuees who have not pre-registered can register their evacuee identification information at the evacuation center, making the admission procedure for evacuees to the evacuation center easier. Furthermore, even if an external network is unavailable, the admission procedure can be continued using the evacuation center's network without using a central server. As a result, the management work at the evacuation center can be reduced.
[0091] Furthermore, even if there are evacuees who do not own terminal devices, evacuees who are not proficient in operating terminal devices, or evacuees who do not understand the admission procedures, the time it takes to enter the shelter can be shortened, and the admission procedures to the shelter can be made more efficient (reducing the complexity of the admission procedures).
[0092] Furthermore, by using a small, portable evacuation management device, evacuation centers can be operated without relying on external networks until normal communication lines are restored.
[0093] Furthermore, once the admission procedures are completed, evacuee identification information will be registered and an image for shelter services will be distributed. Evacuees can then use their evacuation identification information or the shelter service image to receive services at the shelter.
[0094] During the distribution of supplies, evacuees can be checked using evacuee identification information or images used for shelter services, ensuring that supplies are distributed fairly to all evacuees.
[0095] Furthermore, the management of evacuees in shelters can be done with greater accuracy than before. For example, the number of evacuees can be counted with greater precision. As a result, supplies can be distributed to shelters in appropriate quantities. Moreover, because supplies can be distributed in appropriate quantities, the distribution of excess supplies can be reduced. As a result, the cost of disposing of surplus supplies can be reduced.
[0096] Furthermore, evacuees can operate the terminal devices in the same way, regardless of their location in the evacuation center. Administrators can also operate the evacuation management devices in the same way.
[0097] Furthermore, since no prior registration is required, information management in system operation is simplified. In addition, information other than that related to evacuees remains on the terminal device and is not stored in the evacuee management device, thus simplifying information management. Moreover, the leakage of information related to evacuees can be prevented.
