Abstract

This invention provides an earthquake information provision program, an earthquake information provision device, and an earthquake information provision method that can effectively generate earthquake information by utilizing gas meters that constitute a gas supply network. [Solution] The earthquake information provision program 21h is communicated with a gas meter 10 equipped with a seismic sensor 12 via a telecommunications line NW and is executed by a computer that generates earthquake propagation information regarding earthquake propagation. The earthquake information provision program 21h causes the computer to function as an earthquake information acquisition means that acquires earthquake information including the time when the seismic sensor 12 installed on the gas meter 10 detected an earthquake, an installation location information acquisition means that acquires installation location information regarding the installation location of the gas meter 10, and an earthquake propagation information generation means that generates an earthquake propagation map 30 regarding earthquake propagation based on the earthquake detection time and the installation location information.

Claims

[Claim 1] A gas meter equipped with a seismic sensor is connected to a computer via a telecommunications line, which provides earthquake propagation information regarding earthquakes. Earthquake information acquisition means for acquiring earthquake information including the time when the gas meter shut off the gas supply due to the earthquake, Installation location information acquisition means for acquiring installation location information related to the installation location of the gas meter from gas meter information storage means which stores installation location information relating to the installation location of the gas meter, It functions as an earthquake propagation information generation means that generates and outputs earthquake propagation information based on the gas shutoff time and the installation location information. An earthquake information provision program characterized in that the earthquake information and earthquake propagation information do not include vibration intensity information relating to the intensity of vibrations. [Claim 2] The earthquake information provision program according to claim 1, characterized in that the earthquake propagation information generation means generates an earthquake propagation map by superimposing the earthquake propagation information onto a map image based on the installation location information. [Claim 3] Gas usage information acquisition means that acquires gas usage information including the time of gas use and the amount of gas used from the gas meter. The earthquake information provision program according to claim 1, characterized in that it functions as an activity estimation means for estimating the activities of gas users based on the aforementioned gas usage information. [Claim 4] An earthquake information providing device comprising a computer, which causes the computer to execute an earthquake information providing program according to any one of claims 1 to 3. [Claim 5] A method for providing earthquake information, which is carried out by a gas meter equipped with a seismic sensor and an earthquake information providing device that is connected to it via a telecommunications line, An earthquake information acquisition step involves acquiring earthquake information, including the time when the gas meter shut off the gas supply due to the earthquake, An installation location information acquisition step, which acquires installation location information relating to the installation location of the gas meter from a gas meter information storage means that stores installation location information relating to the installation location of the gas meter, The process includes a seismic propagation information generation step that generates and outputs seismic propagation information relating to the propagation of the earthquake based on the gas shutoff time and the installation location information, A method for providing earthquake information, characterized in that the earthquake information and earthquake propagation information do not include vibration intensity information relating to the intensity of vibrations.
