Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present specification and drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

[0019] Also, in the present specification and drawings, a plurality of components having substantially the same functional configuration may be distinguished by attaching different alphabets after the same reference numeral. However, when it is not necessary to particularly distinguish each of a plurality of components having substantially the same functional configuration, only the same reference numeral is attached to each of the plurality of components.

[0020] <Configuration of Disaster Prevention Support System> One embodiment of the present invention relates to a disaster prevention support system for supporting disaster prevention. In recent years, hazard maps have been prepared for disaster prevention, and the creation of a my-time line has also been recommended. A hazard map is information indicating an assumed disaster-affected area, an evacuation route, an evacuation place, etc. of a natural disaster. A my-time line is information that defines an individual's disaster prevention actions against an expected disaster in chronological order. The disaster prevention support system according to one embodiment of the present invention supports a user in acquiring disaster prevention awareness or disaster prevention actions while also utilizing these hazard maps and my-time lines. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 1, the configuration of the disaster prevention support system according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0021] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of a disaster prevention support system according to one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the disaster prevention support system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of information terminals 10 and a disaster prevention management server 20. The plurality of information terminals 10 and the disaster prevention management server 20 are connected via a network 12. The network 12 is a wired or wireless transmission path for information transmitted from devices connected to the network 12. For example, the network 12 may include a public line network such as the Internet, a telephone line network, a satellite communication network, etc., and various LANs (Local Area Networks) including Ethernet (registered trademark), WANs (Wide Area Networks), etc. Further, the network 12 may include a dedicated line network such as an IP-VPN (Internet Protocol-Virtual Private Network).

[0022] (Information terminal 10) The information terminal 10 is a portable information processing device used by residents in the area targeted for support by the disaster prevention support system (hereinafter sometimes referred to as users). The information terminal 10 has a position estimation function for estimating the position of the information terminal 10, a communication function for communicating with the disaster prevention management server 20, a display function for displaying a display screen, an operation detection function for receiving operations by the user, and the like. The position estimation function can be realized by, for example, GPS (Global Positioning System). The communication function can be realized by a mobile communication function using a cellular network, a wireless LAN communication function, or the like. Note that the information terminal 10 may have a voice output function, and in this case, the information terminal 10 may output the support data described later by voice.

[0023] (Disaster prevention management server 20) The disaster prevention management server 20 is an example of a disaster prevention support device that provides disaster prevention-related support data to the information terminal 10 used by the user. For example, the disaster prevention management server 20 stores one or more rules including position-related conditions and support data, and when the user's position data satisfies the position-related conditions included in any of the rules, transmits the support data included in the rule to the information terminal 10 used by the user. Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of such a disaster prevention management server 20 will be sequentially described in detail.

[0024] <Configuration of disaster prevention management server> FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the configuration of the disaster prevention management server 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the disaster prevention management server 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention has a communication unit 220, a disaster prevention data acquisition unit 230, a storage unit 240, a support data providing unit 250, and an index calculation unit 260.

[0025] (Communication unit 220) The communication unit 220 functions as a receiving unit that receives data from the information terminal 10 and a transmitting unit that transmits data to the information terminal 10. For example, the communication unit 220 receives, from the information terminal 10, the position data of the information terminal 10, and response data or reaction data for the support data described later. Further, the communication unit 220 transmits the support data supplied from the support data providing unit 250 to the information terminal 10.

[0026] In addition, the communication unit 220 communicates with a server that manages a hazard map, a server that manages disaster information, a server that manages weather information, etc., and receives a hazard map, disaster information, weather information, etc. from each server. The disaster information is information on the prediction and actual situation of disasters announced by local governments, etc. The weather information is information on the prediction and actual situation of the weather announced by the Japan Meteorological Agency, etc.

[0027] (Disaster prevention data acquisition unit 230) The disaster prevention data acquisition unit 230 acquires disaster prevention data and stores the disaster prevention data in the storage unit 240. Examples of the disaster prevention data include the above-described hazard map, disaster information, and weather information, as well as disaster prevention knowledge and a my timeline for each user. The disaster prevention knowledge is educational information (knowledge) regarding disasters or disaster prevention. The my timeline for each user is information whose content is updated when the user operates the local government system. The disaster prevention data acquisition unit 230 acquires the my timeline for each user via the communication unit 220 by synchronizing it with the local government server, and stores the my timeline for each user in the storage unit 240.

[0028] (Storage unit 240) The storage unit 240 stores various data used for the operation of the disaster prevention management server 20. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 3, specific examples of the data stored in the storage unit 240 will be described.

[0029] FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing specific examples of the data stored in the storage unit 240. As shown in FIG. 3, the storage unit 240 stores disaster prevention data, regular rules for normal times, emergency rules, and an action change index for each user. The content of the disaster prevention data is as described above.

[0030] The normal rules are the rules applied during normal times and include several conditions, support data, and frequency information. The emergency rules are the rules applied during emergencies such as during a disaster or training, and include several conditions and support data. These normal rules and emergency rules are used to determine the support data provided to the user in the support data providing unit 250. The behavior variation index is an example of an index for the user and represents the degree of variation in the user's disaster prevention behavior. Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5, specific examples of the normal rules and the emergency rules will be described.

[0031] FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the normal rules. As shown in FIG. 4, the normal rules include conditions related to location, weather conditions, conditions related to the behavior variation index, normal support data, and frequency information. The support data may be a message showing a quiz-form question or a message in an information presentation form.

[0032] For example, Rule #1 in FIG. 4 includes, as a condition related to location, the condition "a place where the assumed inundation is 0.5 m or more", as a weather condition, the condition "rain", as support data, a message showing the question "What is the assumed inundation in this vicinity?", and as frequency information, "medium".

[0033] Another rule #2 includes the condition of "near home" as the location condition, the condition of "rain" as the weather condition, the condition of "high" as the behavior variation index condition, the message indicating the question of "If heavy rain continues in this area, where would be an appropriate evacuation place?" as the support data, and "low" as the frequency information. Also, rule #3 includes the condition of "near home" as the location condition, the condition of "low" as the behavior variation index condition, the message of "The evacuation places in this area are ○○" as the support data, and "high" as the frequency information. In this way, by preparing rules so that support data indicating basic disaster prevention concepts and behaviors is repeatedly provided when the behavior variation index is low, and support data indicating specific behaviors in individual cases is provided when the behavior variation index is high, appropriate behavior variation support according to the degree of behavior variation is possible.

[0034] Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram showing a specific example of the emergency rule. As shown in Figure 5, the emergency rule includes the condition related to location, the condition related to phase, the condition related to the behavior variation index, and the support data during disasters or training. The support data may be a guiding message that guides the user's behavior.

[0035] For example, rule #1 in Figure 5 includes the condition of "home" as the location condition, the condition of "when flood warning is issued" as the phase condition, and the guiding message of "Please start preparing for evacuation of your mother. Don't forget the emergency medicine" as the support data.

[0036] Another rule #2 includes the condition "outside the home" regarding location, the condition "when flood warning is issued" regarding phase, and the guiding message "Return home immediately and start preparing for evacuation for your mother" as support data. Rule #3 includes the condition "at home" regarding location, the condition "after the occurrence time shown in Fig. 2" regarding phase, the condition "low" regarding the action variation index, and the guiding message "Start preparing for evacuation for your mother. Don't forget to bring your daily medications" as support data. As in Rule #3, when the action variation index is low, the evacuation action is repeatedly provided clearly to prompt a reliable action.

[0037] Note that the content of each support data is set based on the information of the my time line.

[0038] (Support data providing unit 250) The support data providing unit 250 determines the support data to be provided to the user. The support data providing unit 250 acquires the position data of the information terminal 10 via the communication unit 220, refers to the weather information and disaster information stored in the storage unit 240, etc., and determines whether there is a rule whose conditions are satisfied among the normal-time rules and the emergency-time rules. Then, when there is a rule whose conditions are satisfied, the support data providing unit 250 determines to provide the support data included in the rule to the user, and supplies the support data to the communication unit 220.

[0039] For example, during normal times, when the user is present near the home, the weather is rainy, and the action variation index of the user is "high", the conditions of the normal-time rule #2 shown in Fig. 4 are satisfied. In this case, the support data providing unit 250 supplies the support data "If heavy rain persists in this area, where would be an appropriate evacuation location?" included in the rule #2 to the communication unit 220, and the communication unit 220 transmits the support data to the information terminal 10 used by the user. As a result, the support data "If heavy rain persists in this area, where would be an appropriate evacuation location?" is displayed on the information terminal 10 used by the user, and the user can check the support data.

[0040] (Index calculation unit 260) Based on the reaction of the user who has received the provision of support data, the index calculation unit 260 calculates or updates the behavior change index of the user. When support data in the form of a quiz is provided to the user during normal times, the response to the support data can be used as the reaction of the user. Specifically, the index calculation unit 260 may update the behavior change index of the user based on the correct answer rate of the user's previous answers. For example, the index calculation unit 260 expresses the behavior change index as an integer from 1 to 10, adds 1 to the behavior change index when the quiz correct answer rate is 80% or more, and subtracts 1 from the behavior change index when it is 30% or less. When the user starts using this system, the index calculation unit 260 sets the behavior change index to 1.

[0041] Also, when a guidance message is provided to the user as support data during an emergency, the behavior data, which is the position data of the user at each time, can be used as the reaction of the user. Specifically, the index calculation unit 260 may update the behavior change index of the user by evaluating the degree of match between the behavior data of the user and the behavior indicated by the guidance message. For example, the index calculation unit 260 updates the behavior change index of the user based on the current behavior change index and the behavior evaluation value for the past 24 hours. The behavior evaluation value is an index that expresses the degree of match between the content of the support data (position information at each time) indicated by the support data and the actual behavior data (position information at each time) on a scale of 0 to 10. Then, the index calculation unit 260 adds 1 to the behavior change index when the behavior evaluation value is 8 or more, and subtracts 1 from the behavior change index when it is 3 or less. For example, when support data such as "Immediately return home and start preparing for your mother's evacuation" in Rule #2 shown in FIG. 5 is provided, the index calculation unit 260 calculates the behavior evaluation value from the perspective of whether the position data in the actual behavior data indicates a movement towards home and whether the action is taken immediately.

[0042] <Operation of the disaster prevention management server> Above, the configuration of the disaster prevention management server 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention has been described. Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 6, the operation of the disaster prevention management server 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be organized.

[0043] Figure 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the disaster prevention management server 20 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 6, first, the disaster prevention data acquisition unit 230 acquires various disaster prevention data and stores the disaster prevention data in the storage unit 240 (S1).

[0044] Then, the support data providing unit 250 determines whether it is currently normal or in an emergency (during a disaster or a training) based on the disaster prevention data stored in the storage unit 240 (S2). When a local government or the like conducts a training, disaster information and weather information including an identifier indicating the training are provided. The support data providing unit 250 can make the above determination as to whether it is currently normal or in an emergency based on the presence or absence of the disaster information and the identifier indicating the training. If it is currently normal, the processes of S3 to S6 are performed, and if it is currently in an emergency, the processes of S7 to S10 are performed.

[0045] Specifically, in normal times, the support data providing unit 250 acquires the position data of the information terminal 10 from the information terminal 10 via the communication unit 220 and acquires weather information from the storage unit 240 (S3). Then, the support data providing unit 250 refers to the normal-time rules stored in the storage unit 240 and determines whether there is a normal-time rule whose conditions are satisfied (S4). More specifically, the support data providing unit 250 determines whether there is a normal-time rule in which the position data of the information terminal 10 satisfies the conditions related to the position data, the weather information satisfies the weather conditions, and the behavior change index of the user of the information terminal 10 satisfies the conditions related to the behavior change index.

[0046] If there is such a normal-time rule (S4 / Yes), the support data providing unit 250 provides the support data included in the normal-time rule to the information terminal 10 via the communication unit 220 (S5). On the other hand, if there is no such normal-time rule (S4 / No), the process from S1 is repeated.

[0047] After support data in the form of a quiz is provided to the information terminal 10 and an answer to the support data is received from the information terminal 10, the index calculation unit 260 updates the behavior change index of the user of the information terminal 10 based on, for example, the correct answer rate of the answers including the said answer so far (S6). Thereafter, the processing from S1 is repeated.

[0048] On the other hand, in the event of an emergency, the support data providing unit 250 acquires the position data of the information terminal 10 from the information terminal 10 via the communication unit 220, and acquires the disaster phase information from the disaster information stored in the storage unit 240 (S7). The phase information may be information indicating the announcement status such as an alarm or advice, or the passage of time since an alarm or advice was announced.

[0049] Then, the support data providing unit 250 refers to the emergency rules stored in the storage unit 240 and determines whether there is an emergency rule for which the conditions are satisfied (S8). If there is such an emergency rule (S8 / Yes), the support data providing unit 250 provides the support data included in the said emergency rule to the information terminal 10 via the communication unit 220 (S9). On the other hand, if there is no such emergency rule (S8 / No), the processing from S1 is repeated.

[0050] After a guidance message is provided to the user of the information terminal 10 as support data, the index calculation unit 260 updates the behavior change index of the user by evaluating the degree of match between the behavior data of the user and the behavior indicated by the guidance message (S10). Thereafter, the processing from S1 is repeated.

[0051] <Operational Effect> According to an embodiment of the present invention described above, various operational effects can be obtained. For example, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the disaster prevention management server 20 provides users with support data related to actions to be taken when an actual disaster occurs, such as when a user approaches an important disaster prevention location or encounters specific weather conditions during normal times. Therefore, it is easier for users to acquire disaster prevention awareness and actions, and furthermore, it becomes easier for their disaster prevention actions to change in case of an emergency.

[0052] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the disaster prevention management server 20 provides support data for guiding the actions of users according to the user's position data, phase, etc. during disasters and training. Therefore, it is possible to support users in steadily implementing emergency evacuation actions at appropriate times.

[0053] Moreover, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the disaster prevention management server 20 can provide different support data to users according to the user's action change index. Therefore, for example, it is possible to provide basic ideas and action information related to disaster prevention to users with low disaster prevention awareness, and provide information on specific coping actions for various cases during a disaster to users with high disaster prevention awareness, and thus provide appropriate support according to the proficiency of each user's disaster prevention actions.

[0054] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the disaster prevention management server 20 updates the above-mentioned action change index based on the user's answers to support data in the form of quizzes or the user's action data after providing the support data. Therefore, the disaster prevention management server 20 can obtain a valid action change index, and as a result, it becomes possible to appropriately provide support data.

[0055] <Modification Example> The above described one embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, some modifications of the above-described embodiment will be explained. Each of the modifications described below may be applied to the above-described embodiment alone, or may be applied to the above-described embodiment in combination. Further, each modification may be applied in place of the configuration of the above-described embodiment, or may be additionally applied to the configuration of the above-described embodiment.

[0056] For example, in the above, the hazard map, disaster prevention knowledge, my timeline, disaster information, weather information, etc. were described as the disaster prevention data acquired by the disaster prevention data acquisition unit 230, but the disaster prevention data is not limited to these. If there is other data including information suitable for promoting the variation of disaster prevention actions according to the position of the user, the data may be used as the disaster prevention data.

[0057] Also, in the above, an example in which support data in the form of a quiz is provided in normal times was described, but the form of the support data may be any form as long as it can confirm the user's reaction to the support data, and is not limited to the quiz form. For example, the support data may be an information message and a question asking about the degree of understanding of the information message. In this case, the index calculation unit 260 can update the user's behavior variation index based on the degree of understanding input by the user to the information terminal 10.

[0058] Also, the index calculation unit 260 may calculate the user's degree of understanding of the support data based on the time from when the support data is provided to the information terminal 10 until the user views the support data, or the time the user is viewing the support data, etc., and update the behavior variation index based on the degree of understanding. For example, the calculation of the degree of understanding may be performed under the interpretation that the shorter the time from when the support data is provided to the information terminal 10 until the user views the support data, the higher the degree of understanding, and the longer the time the user is viewing the support data, the higher the degree of understanding. Note that the information terminal 10 may calculate the degree of understanding and transmit information indicating the degree of understanding to the disaster prevention management server 20.

[0059] In the above description, an example where the disaster prevention data acquisition unit 230, the support data provision unit 250, the index calculation unit 260, etc. are implemented in the disaster prevention management server 20 has been described. However, a part of the disaster prevention data acquisition unit 230, the support data provision unit 250, and the index calculation unit 260 may be implemented in the information terminal 10. For example, the functions corresponding to the support data provision unit 250 and the index calculation unit 260 may be implemented in the information terminal 10.

[0060] <Hardware Configuration> As described above, each embodiment of the present invention has been described. The information processing such as the provision of the above-described support data and the calculation of the behavior modification index is realized by the cooperation of software and the hardware of the disaster prevention management server 20 described below.

[0062] The CPU 201 functions as an arithmetic processing unit and a control unit, and controls the overall operations within the disaster prevention management server 20 according to various programs. Also, the CPU 201 may be a microprocessor. The ROM 202 stores programs, arithmetic parameters, etc. used by the CPU 201. The RAM 203 temporarily stores programs used in the execution of the CPU 201 and parameters that change as appropriate during the execution. These are interconnected by a host bus 204 composed of a CPU bus or the like. Through the cooperation of these CPU 201, ROM 202, and RAM 203 with software, functions such as the above-described disaster prevention data acquisition unit 230, support data providing unit 250, and index calculation unit 260 can be realized.

[0063] The host bus 204 is connected to an external bus 206 such as a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect / Interface) bus via a bridge 205. Note that it is not necessarily required to separately configure the host bus 204, the bridge 205, and the external bus 206, and these functions may be implemented on one bus.

[0064] The input device 208 is composed of input means such as a mouse, keyboard, touch panel, button, microphone, sensor, switch, and lever for a user to input information, and an input control circuit that generates an input signal based on the input by the user and outputs it to the CPU 201. The user of the disaster prevention management server 20 can input various data to the disaster prevention management server 20 or instruct processing operations by operating the input device 208.
