Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a disaster prevention support device, a disaster prevention support system, a disaster prevention support method, and a recording medium, and more particularly to a disaster prevention support device, a disaster prevention support method, and a recording medium for supporting disaster prevention activities by local governments and the like. [Background technology]

[0002] When a natural or man-made disaster occurs, or when there is a risk of a disaster occurring, local governments and other organizations utilize their disaster prevention organizations to carry out disaster prevention activities to reduce damage caused by the disaster. Disaster prevention activities include confirming the safety of residents and guiding them to evacuate. Related technologies exist to support local governments and other organizations in confirming their safety.

[0003] The related technology described in Patent Document 1 acquires identification information and location information of a mobile terminal device from a mobile communications carrier, and acquires identification information of the mobile terminal device and information on the safety of the victim from the victim. Based on the identification information of the mobile terminal device acquired from both parties, the location information of the mobile terminal device and the information on the safety of the victim are linked to create disaster situation information.

[0004] The related technology described in Patent Document 2 uses an Earthquake Early Warning as a trigger to predict the seismic intensity of an earthquake at the current location of a communication terminal, and if the predicted seismic intensity is equal to or greater than a threshold, displays a safety input screen on the communication terminal. Then, after the user of the communication terminal inputs safety information into the safety input screen, the safety information input by the user is transmitted from the communication terminal to a server.

[0006] Local governments conduct safety checks on residents as part of their disaster prevention drills during peacetime. Since local governments cannot carry out effective rescue operations without a response from residents, they want to increase the number of residents who participate in disaster prevention drills. However, local governments only have indirect means of finding out whether residents are participating in disaster prevention drills, such as through questionnaire surveys.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a means for local governments and the like to grasp the status of responses to safety confirmation requests. [Means for solving the problem]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Some embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the drawings.

[0015] (Disaster Prevention Support System 1) An example of the configuration of a disaster prevention support system 1 including any one of disaster prevention support devices 10, 20, and 30 according to embodiments 1 to 3 will be described first with reference to Fig. 1. In Fig. 1, "disaster prevention support device 10 (20, 30)" refers to any one of the disaster prevention support devices 10, 20, and 30 according to embodiments 1 to 3.

[0016] 1, the disaster prevention support system 1 includes resident devices 100, a disaster prevention radio base station 200, a resident registration list 300, and a wireless receiver 400. Except for the resident registration list 300, each component of the disaster prevention support system 1 may be provided in plural.

[0017] The resident device 100 is owned or used by residents in a certain area under the jurisdiction of a local government. The resident device 100 includes a communication terminal 100A, a household receiver 100B, and a fixed telephone 100C. Note that the resident device 100 is not limited to these examples. The resident device 100 may also include IoT devices of public infrastructure used in homes, such as smart power meters and smart water meters.

[0018] The communication terminal 100A is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a smart device.

[0019] The individual receiver 100B receives radio waves for disaster prevention radio broadcasts transmitted from the disaster prevention radio base station 200. The individual receiver 100B is equipped with a speaker, converts the received radio waves into audio, and outputs the audio from the speaker. The individual receiver 100B may be a wall-mounted type, a portable type, or a built-in type. The individual receiver 100B may be capable of communicating with a nearby wireless receiver 400 via LPWA (Low Power, Wide Area) communication.

[0020] The fixed telephone set 100C is connected to a general home telephone line, and is connected to a telephone exchange and a telephone network via the home telephone line.

[0021] The disaster prevention radio base station 200, the resident registration list 300, and the disaster prevention support device 10 (20, 30) are connected to the intranet of a local government.

[0022] The disaster prevention radio base station 200 constitutes a broadcast, mobile, or telemetry disaster prevention radio (also called a wireless communication system). Broadcast radio broadcasts (60 MHz band) are received by radio receivers 400 installed in various locations within the area, as well as by individual receivers 100B installed in residents' homes. Broadcast radio broadcasts (60 MHz band) are also received by relay stations (not shown).

[0023] The resident registration list 300 stores basic information such as the name, family composition, address, and contact information of residents registered with the local government. The resident registration list 300 also stores identification information for identifying the resident devices 100 used by the residents.

[0024] The wireless receiver 400 is a slave station in a disaster prevention radio system. The wireless receiver 400, together with the disaster prevention radio base station 200, constitutes a disaster prevention radio system. The wireless receiver 400 is, for example, an outdoor loudspeaker slave station equipped with a loudspeaker. The wireless receiver 400 transmits disaster information such as weather warnings and earthquake early warnings by voice, mainly to residents who are outdoors.

[0025] The disaster prevention support devices 10, 20, and 30 will be described in the first to third embodiments below.

[0026] [Embodiment 1] The first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0027] (Disaster prevention support device 10) The configuration of the disaster prevention support device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the disaster prevention support device 10. As shown in Fig. 2, the disaster prevention support device 10 includes a confirmation unit 11, a receiving unit 12, an acquisition unit 13, a determination unit 14, and an output unit 15.

[0028] The confirmation unit 11 carries out a safety confirmation of all residents in a certain area. The confirmation unit 11 is an example of a confirmation means.

[0029] In one example, the confirmation unit 11 performs safety confirmation via disaster prevention radio. For example, the confirmation unit 11 transmits radio waves for disaster prevention radio from the disaster prevention radio base station 200 to the wireless receiver 400 and the individual household receiver 100B. The radio waves for disaster prevention radio broadcasting include audio data for safety confirmation. The wireless receiver 400 and the individual household receiver 100B each output the audio data for safety confirmation.

[0030] The method by which the confirmation unit 11 confirms the safety of the user is not limited to the above example. Some specific examples including the above example will be described in a third embodiment, which will be described later.

[0031] The confirmation unit 11 notifies the reception unit 12 that the safety confirmation has been completed.

[0032] The receiving unit 12 receives the response to the safety confirmation. The receiving unit 12 is an example of a receiving means.

[0033] In one example, the receiving unit 12 is notified by the confirmation unit 11 that the safety confirmation has been completed. After being notified that the safety confirmation has been completed, the receiving unit 12 receives a response to the safety confirmation. For example, if the confirmation unit 11 has confirmed the safety by telephone, the receiving unit 12 receives the response from the fixed telephone 100C of the resident equipment 100 via the Internet or a telephone line.

[0034] Alternatively, when the confirmation unit 11 confirms the safety of residents through disaster prevention radio broadcasting, the receiving unit 12 receives a response from the individual household receiver 100B of the resident-use equipment 100 via the Internet.

[0035] Alternatively, when the confirmation unit 11 carries out a safety confirmation by audio broadcast, the reception unit 12 receives a response from the communication terminal 100A of the resident-use equipment 100 via the Internet.

[0036] The receiving unit 12 receives, as a response to the safety confirmation, identification information for identifying the resident device 100. The identification information is unique to each resident device 100. In other words, the identification information can indirectly identify the resident who responded to the safety confirmation.

[0037] The receiving unit 12 further receives, as a response, information indicating the current location of the communication terminal 100A from the communication terminal 100A of the resident-use equipment 100. This is because the communication terminal 100A is portable and therefore may be located in a place other than the resident's address.

[0038] When a response to the safety confirmation is received from the resident device 100, the receiving unit 12 outputs identification information for identifying the resident device 100 to the acquiring unit 13.

[0039] The acquisition unit 13 acquires location information of residents who have responded to a safety confirmation request. The acquisition unit 13 is an example of an acquisition means.

[0040] In one example, the acquisition unit 13 receives identification information for identifying the resident device 100 from the reception unit 12. The acquisition unit 13 references basic information about the resident stored in the resident registration list 300. The acquisition unit 13 uses the identification information for identifying the resident device 100 to identify the resident who responded to the safety confirmation request. Then, the acquisition unit 13 references the resident registration list 300 to identify the address of the resident.

[0041] If a response is received from a terminal other than the communication terminal 100A of the resident-use equipment 100, the acquisition unit 13 outputs information indicating the address of the resident to the determination unit 14 as the location information of the resident who responded to the safety confirmation.

[0042] On the other hand, when there is a response from the communication terminal 100A of the resident-use equipment 100, the acquisition unit 13 outputs information indicating the current location of the communication terminal 100A to the determination unit 14 as location information of the resident who responded to the safety confirmation.

[0043] The determination unit 14 determines areas in the district where there are relatively few responses to safety confirmations, using the location information of residents. The determination unit 14 is an example of a determination means.

[0044] In one example, the determination unit 14 receives location information of residents who have responded to the safety check request from the acquisition unit 13. The determination unit 14 acquires map data of the area under the jurisdiction of the local government from a map database (not shown). The determination unit 14 plots the location information of residents who have responded to the safety check request on the map data of the area under the jurisdiction of the local government.

[0045] Thereafter, the determination unit 14 determines areas in the region where there are relatively few responses to the safety check, using map data that plots the location information of residents who responded to the safety check. For example, the determination unit 14 divides the region into towns and determines towns (an example of an area) where there are relatively few responses to the safety check.

[0046] The determination unit 14 may calculate a response rate indicating the proportion of residents who responded to all residents in the area, and determine areas with relatively few responses to safety confirmation based on the response rate.

[0047] The determination unit 14 outputs the determination result for an area in the area where there are relatively few responses to the safety confirmation to the output unit 15. In addition, the determination unit 14 may transmit the determination result to a terminal of a local government employee in charge of implementing the safety confirmation. Alternatively, the determination unit 14 may transmit the determination result to a disaster prevention system (not shown) managed by the local government that has jurisdiction over the area.

[0048] The output unit 15 outputs the determination result for the area where there are relatively few responses to the safety confirmation. The output unit 15 is an example of an output means.

[0049] In one example, the output unit 15 receives, from the determination unit 14, a determination result for an area where there are relatively few responses to the safety confirmation. The output unit 15 outputs information indicating the determination result received from the determination unit 14 (for example, the address or identification code of the area). For example, the output unit 15 outputs the determination result for an area where there are relatively few responses to the safety confirmation to an office computer (not shown) managed by a local government for employees in any format, such as voice, text, a map, or a record sheet. Note that a configuration including a display unit 25 (FIG. 4), which is another example of output means, instead of the output unit 15 will be described in a second embodiment described later.

[0050] (Operation of disaster prevention support device 10) The operation of the disaster prevention support device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed by each unit of the disaster prevention support device 10.

[0051] 3, the checking unit 11 carries out a safety check of all residents in a certain area (here, an area under the jurisdiction of the local government that will carry out the safety check) (S1).The checking unit 11 notifies the receiving unit 12 that the safety check has been completed.

[0052] Next, the receiving unit 12 receives a response to the safety confirmation (S2). When the response to the safety confirmation is received from the resident device 100, the receiving unit 12 outputs identification information for identifying the resident device 100 to the acquiring unit 13.

[0053] The acquisition unit 13 acquires location information of the resident who responded to the safety confirmation request (S3). In step S3, the acquisition unit 13 refers to the resident's address in the resident registration list 300 using the identification information for identifying the resident device 100. Alternatively, the acquisition unit 13 acquires the current location of the communication terminal 100A of the resident device 100 as a response to the safety confirmation request from the communication terminal 100A.

[0054] The acquisition unit 13 outputs to the determination unit 14 the location information of the resident who responded to the safety confirmation.

[0055] The determination unit 14 uses the location information of residents to determine areas in the district where there are relatively few responses to safety confirmation (S4).

[0056] The determination unit 14 outputs to the output unit 15 the determination result for an area in the zone where there are relatively few responses to the safety confirmation.

[0057] The output unit 15 outputs the determination result for the area where there are relatively few responses to the safety confirmation (S5).

[0058] This completes the operation of the disaster prevention support device 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0059] (Effects of this embodiment) According to the configuration of this embodiment, the confirmation unit 11 performs a safety check on all residents in a certain area. The reception unit 12 receives responses to the safety check. The acquisition unit 13 acquires location information of residents who responded to the safety check. The determination unit 14 uses the location information of the residents to determine areas in the area where there are relatively few responses to the safety check. The output unit 15 outputs the determination result for areas where there are relatively few responses to the safety check.

[0060] In areas under the jurisdiction of a local government, areas with relatively few responses to safety checks indicate that residents are reluctant to participate in disaster prevention activities (including disaster prevention drills) or that residents are preoccupied with some other circumstances. By identifying areas with relatively few responses to safety checks, local governments and other organizations can understand the status of responses to safety checks. Furthermore, local governments and other organizations can quickly confirm the situation in areas with relatively few responses to safety checks (for example, whether residents have a low awareness of disaster prevention or whether the damage is relatively great). In addition, in the event of a disaster, local governments and other organizations can prioritize visiting areas with relatively few responses to safety checks to speak to residents, or can prioritize deploying staff to check on the safety of residents in areas with relatively few responses to safety checks.

[0061] [Embodiment 2] A second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. In the second embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are used for components that execute the same processes as those described in the first embodiment, and descriptions of those components will be omitted.

[0062] In the second embodiment, a configuration will be described in which areas with a relatively low response rate are displayed on a map so that local governments and the like can accurately grasp areas with relatively few responses to safety confirmations.

[0063] (Disaster prevention support device 20) The configuration of the disaster prevention support device 20 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the disaster prevention support device 20. As shown in Fig. 4, the disaster prevention support device 20 includes a confirmation unit 11, a receiving unit 12, an acquisition unit 13, and a determination unit 14. The disaster prevention support device 20 further includes a display unit 25.

[0064] The display unit 25 displays areas with relatively low response rates on a map. The display unit 25 is an example of a display means. The display unit 25 is also an example of an output means.

[0065] In one example, the display unit 25 receives information indicating areas where there are relatively few responses to the safety confirmation from the determination unit 14. The display unit 25 generates map data based on the received information. The display unit 25 displays the areas where there are relatively few responses to the safety confirmation on the generated map data.

[0066] Furthermore, the display unit 25 may use the location information of the residents to plot on a map the locations of the residents who responded to the safety confirmation.

[0067] The display unit 25 outputs the generated map data to a display device (not shown). For example, the display unit 25 transmits the generated map data to a terminal of a local government employee in charge of safety confirmation. Alternatively, the display unit 25 may transmit the map data to a disaster prevention system (not shown) managed by the local government that has jurisdiction over the area.

[0068] By checking the map data displayed on the display device, the person conducting the safety check can ascertain areas where there are relatively few responses to the safety check. In addition, the person conducting the safety check can head to the area where there are relatively few responses to the safety check and investigate the reason for the low response rate.

[0069] (Operation of disaster prevention support device 20) The operation of the disaster prevention support device 20 according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing the flow of processing executed by each unit of the disaster prevention support device 20.

[0070] 5, the checking unit 11 carries out a safety check of all residents in a certain area (here, an area under the jurisdiction of a local government that carries out the safety check) (S201). The receiving unit 12 is notified that the safety check has been completed.

[0071] Next, the receiving unit 12 receives a response to the safety confirmation request (S202). When the response to the safety confirmation request is received from the resident device 100, the receiving unit 12 outputs identification information for identifying the resident device 100 to the acquiring unit 13.

[0072] The acquisition unit 13 acquires location information of the resident who responded to the safety confirmation request (S203). In step S203, the acquisition unit 13 refers to the address of the resident from the resident registration list 300 using the identification information for identifying the resident device 100. Alternatively, the acquisition unit 13 acquires the current location of the communication terminal 100A of the resident device 100 as a response to the safety confirmation request from the communication terminal 100A.

[0073] The acquisition unit 13 outputs to the determination unit 14 the location information of the resident who responded to the safety confirmation.

[0074] The determination unit 14 determines areas in the district where there are relatively few responses to the safety confirmation, using the location information of the residents (S204). The determination unit 14 outputs information indicating the areas where there are relatively few responses to the safety confirmation to the display unit 25.

[0075] The display unit 25 displays areas with relatively low response rates on a map (S205).

[0076] This completes the operation of the disaster prevention support device 20 according to the second embodiment.

[0077] (Effects of this embodiment) According to the configuration of this embodiment, the confirmation unit 11 performs a safety check on all residents in a certain area. The reception unit 12 receives responses to the safety check. The acquisition unit 13 acquires location information of residents who responded to the safety check. The determination unit 14 uses the location information of the residents to determine areas in the area where there are relatively few responses to the safety check.

[0078] In areas under the jurisdiction of a local government, areas with relatively few responses to safety checks indicate that residents are reluctant to participate in disaster prevention activities (including disaster prevention drills) or that residents are preoccupied with some other circumstances. By identifying areas with relatively few responses to safety checks, local governments and other organizations can grasp the status of responses to safety checks. Furthermore, local governments and other organizations can quickly confirm the situation in areas with relatively few responses to safety checks (for example, residents' awareness of disaster prevention is low or the damage is relatively great). In addition, in the event of a disaster, local governments and other organizations can prioritize visiting areas with relatively few responses to safety checks to speak to residents, or can prioritize deploying staff to check on the safety of residents in areas with relatively few responses to safety checks.

[0079] Furthermore, according to the configuration of this embodiment, the display unit 25 displays areas with relatively low response rates on a map. The display unit 25 outputs the generated map data to a display device (not shown). By checking the map data displayed on the display device, the person conducting the safety confirmation can ascertain areas with relatively few responses to the safety confirmation. Furthermore, the person conducting the safety confirmation can head to the areas with relatively few responses to the safety confirmation and investigate the reason for the low response rate.

[0080] [Embodiment 3] A third embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. In the third embodiment, components that execute the same processes as those described in the first or second embodiment are assigned the same reference numerals as those in the first or second embodiment, and descriptions of those components will be omitted.

[0081] In the third embodiment, several examples of configurations for carrying out safety confirmation will be described.

[0082] (Disaster prevention support device 30) The configuration of the disaster prevention support device 30 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the disaster prevention support device 30. As shown in Fig. 6, the disaster prevention support device 30 includes a confirmation unit 11', a receiving unit 12, an acquisition unit 13, a determination unit 14, and an output unit 15. The confirmation unit 11' of the disaster prevention support device 30 differs in part from the confirmation unit 11 of the disaster prevention support device 10 (Fig. 2) according to the first embodiment in the content of the execution process.

[0083] The confirmation unit 11' performs safety confirmation of all residents in a certain area. At this time, the confirmation unit 11' uses one of the following methods.

[0084] In a first example, the confirmation unit 11' obtains the resident registration list 300 (FIG. 1) of the local government that has jurisdiction over the area, and contacts all residents of the area to check on their safety using the resident registration list 300. For example, the confirmation unit 11' calls the telephone numbers of residents listed in the resident registration list 300 to check on their safety.

[0085] When a resident receives a call to confirm safety, the resident replies with a response to the safety confirmation. For example, when confirmation unit 11 calls fixed telephone set 100C (FIG. 1) to confirm safety, the resident makes a predetermined input (for example, inputs predetermined numbers in order) to reply to fixed telephone set 100C.

[0086] In a second example, the confirmation unit 11' performs safety confirmation via Internet communication. For example, the confirmation unit 11 transmits voice data for safety confirmation to the communication terminal 100A of the resident equipment 100 via the Internet.

[0087] When the communication terminal 100A receives the voice data for safety confirmation, the application software installed in the communication terminal 100A outputs the received voice data from the speaker of the communication terminal 100A. The resident makes a predetermined input (for example, input of safety information) to respond to the application software of the communication terminal 100A. Safety confirmation will be carried out via disaster prevention radio broadcasts.

[0088] Alternatively, the confirmation unit 11 may transmit voice data for safety confirmation to the fixed telephone 100C of the resident device 100 via an internet line or a telephone network. The fixed telephone 100C notifies the resident using the resident device 100 by a ringtone.

[0089] When the resident answers the call on the fixed telephone 100C, the confirmation unit 11 transmits voice data for safety confirmation to the fixed telephone 100C of the resident equipment 100 via the Internet line or telephone network. The received voice data is output from the speaker of the fixed telephone 100C. The resident makes a predetermined input (for example, input of a predetermined number) to the fixed telephone 100C to respond.

[0090] In a third example, the confirmation unit 11' performs safety confirmation by audio broadcasting using disaster prevention radio broadcasting. For example, the confirmation unit 11 transmits radio waves of the disaster prevention radio broadcasting from the disaster prevention radio base station 200 to the wireless receiver 400 (FIG. 1) and the individual receiver 100B (FIG. 1). The radio waves of the disaster prevention radio broadcasting include audio data for safety confirmation. The wireless receiver 400 and the individual receiver 100B each output the audio data for safety confirmation.

[0091] When a resident receives a call to confirm their safety, they reply with a response to the safety confirmation. For example, when voice data for confirming their safety is output from the individual household receiver 100B, the resident makes a predetermined input (for example, presses a predetermined button) to the individual household receiver 100B to respond.

[0092] The confirmation unit 11' notifies the receiving unit 12 that the safety confirmation has been completed.

[0093] (Operation of disaster prevention support device 30) The operation of the disaster prevention support device 30 according to the present embodiment 3 is the same as the operation (FIG. 3) of the disaster prevention support device 10 according to the above-described embodiment 1. In the present embodiment 3, the description of the above-described embodiment 1 will be cited, and the description of the operation of the disaster prevention support device 30 will be omitted.

[0094] (Effects of this embodiment) According to the configuration of this embodiment, the confirmation unit 11' performs a safety check on all residents in a certain area. The receiving unit 12 receives responses to the safety check. The acquiring unit 13 acquires location information of residents who responded to the safety check. The determining unit 14 uses the location information of the residents to determine areas in the area where there are relatively few responses to the safety check. The output unit 15 outputs the determination result for areas where there are relatively few responses to the safety check.

[0095] In areas under the jurisdiction of a local government, areas with relatively few responses to safety checks indicate that residents are reluctant to participate in disaster prevention activities (including disaster prevention drills) or that residents are preoccupied with some other circumstances. By identifying areas with relatively few responses to safety checks, local governments and other organizations can grasp the status of responses to safety checks. Furthermore, local governments and other organizations can quickly confirm the situation in areas with relatively few responses to safety checks (for example, residents' awareness of disaster prevention is low or the damage is relatively great).
