  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.

  FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an outline of an embodiment of the present invention.

  In this embodiment, when a disaster occurs, a voice communication line is automatically secured with a communication apparatus of the other party registered in advance. In the example shown in the figure, it is assumed that the user who uses the communication device 1 of the present embodiment is in Tokyo, and the other party (for example, family) that the user wants to talk to in a disaster is in Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture. It is assumed that the telephone number of the partner communication device 2 used by the other party and the partner position information (Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture) of the partner communication device 2 are registered in advance in the communication device 1.

  At this time, it is assumed that an earthquake has occurred in Okayama Prefecture (S1). When the earthquake early warning system 3 such as the Japan Meteorological Agency detects the occurrence of an earthquake, the earthquake early warning system 3 delivers the earthquake early warning to the communication device 1 (S2). When the communication device 1 receives the earthquake early warning, when the information set in the earthquake early warning satisfies the conditions (seismic intensity and position) registered in the communication device 1, the communication device 1 automatically issues to the counterpart communication device 2 in Okayama City. Call (S3). As a result, the other communication device 2 receives the call, and even if the other party is shaken by a sudden earthquake, the other party's communication device 2 picks up the telephone receiver (being off-hook) before the ringing begins to ring before or during the shake. ) Only, a voice call can be made, and once the call line is connected, the communication line can be secured even if congestion occurs thereafter.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in the figure, when an earthquake occurs in an area where the counterpart communication device 2 is present, or when an earthquake occurs in an area where there is a user using the communication device 1 of the present embodiment, Is used as a trigger to make a call to the partner communication device 2 set in advance in the communication device 1, thereby securing a communication line with the partner communication device 2 before the telephone exchange is congested or malfunctions.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration of the communication device 1 according to the present embodiment.

  The communication device 1 of the present embodiment is a communication device having a voice call function (telephone function), and for example, a smartphone, a mobile phone, a dedicated phone, or the like can be used. The illustrated communication device 1 includes a condition setting unit 11, a condition storage unit 12, a location information update unit 13, a disaster information reception unit 14, a determination unit 15, a calling unit 16, and a call time limit unit 17. And an activation unit 18.

  The condition setting unit 11 accepts various information input by a user using the communication device 1 and stores it in the condition storage unit 12. The information stored in the condition storage unit 12 includes, as call conditions, a disaster level, personal information relating to the user who is the user, and counterpart information relating to the other party of the call. Examples of disaster levels include seismic intensity = 5 or more, magnitude = 6 or more. The self information includes position information of the communication device 1 (self). The partner information includes location information of the partner communication device 2 (partner), a telephone number, and the like. In the partner information, a plurality of partners can be registered. The disaster level may be stored as part of the personal information and the partner information.

  3 to 5 show examples of setting screens for the user to set various information. When receiving a setting request from the user, the condition setting unit 11 displays a screen (input interface) as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 on the display of the communication device 1 and presents it to the user.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of a personal information setting screen. The user inputs each item displayed on the screen using an input means such as a touch panel or an input key. In FIG. 3, as my information, my location information (for example, Minato-ku, Tokyo), whether to update location information as needed, and the disaster level (earthquake intensity) that is automatically called when I become a disaster area , Magnitude).

  Whether or not the location information is to be updated is determined by setting “automatic update” when the communication device 1 is a device capable of using GPS, so that the user's own location information input by the user is the actual communication device 1. It is updated from time to time according to the position of. When “not automatically update” is set, the user's own position information input by the user is not updated until the user changes his / her position information. In addition, as shown in the example of the setting screen shown in the figure, the telephone number of the communication device 1 (self) may be displayed as own information.

  FIG. 4 is an example of a partner information setting screen. The user inputs each item displayed on the screen using an input means such as a touch panel or an input key. In FIG. 4, as the other party information, the other party's location information (for example, Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture), whether to update the location information as needed, and the disaster level (seismic intensity) when the other party becomes a disaster area. , Magnitude) and the telephone number of the partner communication device 2.

  As to whether or not to update the position information, when the partner communication device 2 is a device that can use GPS, by setting “automatically update”, the partner position information input by the user becomes the partner communication device 2. It is updated from time to time according to the actual position of. In the example shown in the figure, since the other party terminal is a fixed telephone, the “no automatic update” is set, and the other party location information input by the user is not updated until the user changes. When registering a plurality of partner information, each item on the setting screen of FIG. 4 is set for each partner.

  FIG. 5 is an example of a setting screen displayed after the personal information of FIG. 3 and the partner information of FIG. 4 are set. The setting screen of FIG. 5 is a screen for allowing the user to set the calling order (priority order) of the other party to be automatically called and to set the automatic calling rules to the user.

  Regarding the calling order, in the example shown in the figure, three pieces of partner information are set, and the telephone number of each partner information is displayed. The user clicks (selects) the “Sort” button to change the calling order of these telephone numbers. Thereby, the telephone numbers are rearranged in a predetermined order. The user clicks the “Sort” button until the intended order is reached. Further, the user may set the calling order corresponding to each telephone number.

  As for the automatic calling rule, in the example shown in the figure, when the user is in a disaster area, a call is made until the call number reaches the first telephone number (the highest priority telephone number), or the call is made. In order from the telephone number with the number 1, the user is allowed to select whether to make a call at a predetermined time arbitrarily input by the user. If there are multiple parties in the disaster area, call until the telephone number of the disaster area is low (the highest priority telephone number), or the telephone number of the party in the disaster area is small. In order (in descending order of priority), the user selects whether to make a call at a predetermined time arbitrarily input.

  The condition setting unit 11 stores the calling condition input from the setting screen as shown in FIGS. 3 to 5 in the condition storage unit 12.

  The position information update unit 13 acquires the position information of itself or the other party, and updates the position information of itself or the other party stored in the condition storage unit 12. Specifically, when “automatically update location information whenever necessary” is set on the personal information setting screen as shown in FIG. 3, the location information update unit 13 includes a GPS function, a base installed in the communication device 1. The position information is acquired at a predetermined timing from a wireless LAN radio wave transmitted from the station, and the own position information in the condition storage unit 12 is updated with the acquired latest position information.

  In addition, when “automatically update location information whenever necessary” is set on the partner information setting screen as shown in FIG. 4, the location information update unit 13 sets the carrier (communication company) of the partner communication device 2 at a predetermined timing. The position information system is accessed to acquire the position information of the partner communication device 2, and the position information of the partner in the condition storage unit 12 is updated with the acquired position information. When the partner communication device 2 can acquire and distribute the position information of the own device, the partner communication device 2 pushes and distributes the acquired position information to the address of the communication device 1 via the network. May update the position information of the other party in the condition storage unit 12 using the position information distributed from the other party communication device 2.

  The disaster information receiving unit 14 receives disaster information (disaster bulletin information) distributed by a disaster bulletin system such as the Japan Meteorological Agency, Twitter, and net bulletin board RSS distribution. The disaster information includes a disaster level (such as seismic intensity and magnitude) and a disaster location (such as area, region, latitude / longitude). Further, the disaster information receiving unit 14 may receive not only disaster information in Japan distributed by the disaster bulletin system but also disaster information regarding disasters around the world. Further, the disaster information receiving unit 14 may acquire and receive real-time data of seismometers published by the country, municipalities, etc. on the Internet and use them as disaster information.

  The determination unit 15 compares the disaster information with the calling conditions stored in the condition storage unit 12 and sends a calling instruction to the calling unit 16 when the calling conditions are satisfied. The calling unit 16 receives an instruction from the determination unit 15 and automatically calls the telephone number of the partner communication device 2 stored in the condition storage unit 12. The call time restriction unit 17 disconnects the call line when a predetermined time elapses after the call line is established.

  The activation unit 18 activates a predetermined application program installed in the communication device 1 when the determination unit 15 determines that the earthquake information satisfies the calling condition of the condition storage unit 12. For example, the activation unit 18 of the present embodiment automatically activates a one-segment television or radio. Thereby, even in a panic situation such as an earthquake, the user can easily obtain accurate information quickly. Further, the activation unit 18 may automatically activate video recording. This makes it possible to easily shoot and record video data useful for later disaster prevention.

  The partner communication device 2 that receives a call from the communication device 1 may be a communication device (general fixed telephone, mobile phone, personal computer, smartphone) having a call function, and its line type (analog line, ISDN). Line, mobile phone line, IP phone line, etc.) are not limited. When the partner communication device 2 has contracted for a caller ID notification service, the telephone number (sender number) of the communication device 1 displayed on the partner communication device 2 can be confirmed, so that the phone can be called in peace in the event of a disaster. You can go out.

  In addition, when the partner communication device 2 uses an ISDN line or the like, when setting the other party's telephone number in the condition storage unit 12, the ISDN subchannel for performing automatic call is also specified. It is good also as setting including the instruction | indication which makes the other party communication apparatus respond automatically to a telephone number. Thereby, in response to a call from the communication apparatus 1, the other party communication apparatus 2 is automatically called without the other party off-hooking and enters a call state, and the possibility of securing a line can be further increased.

  As the communication device 1 described above, for example, a general-purpose computer system including a CPU, a memory, an external storage device such as an HDD, an input device, and an output device can be used. In this computer system, each function of the communication device 1 is realized by the CPU executing a program for the communication device 1 loaded on the memory. The program for the communication device 1 can be stored in a computer-readable recording medium such as a hard disk, a flexible disk, a CD-ROM, an MO, a DVD-ROM, or can be distributed via a network.

  As a program when the communication device 1 is a smartphone, for example, an Android application or the like is downloaded from a service provider such as a communication carrier as a program when the communication device 1 is a mobile phone. Thus, the communication device 1 of the present embodiment can be realized.

  Next, the operation at the time of disaster according to the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the communication device 1 during a disaster.

  The disaster information receiving unit 14 of the communication device 1 waits until disaster information such as an emergency earthquake warning is received (S11). When the disaster information is received (S12: YES), the received disaster information is transmitted to the determining unit 15. To do.

  The determination unit 15 compares the received disaster information with the calling conditions stored in the condition storage unit 12, and determines whether the disaster information satisfies the calling conditions (S13). Specifically, the determination unit 15 extracts the disaster level and the disaster position from the disaster information, compares them with the calling conditions stored in the condition storage unit 12, and determines whether the disaster information satisfies the calling conditions. Determine.

  For example, it is assumed that the disaster level and disaster area acquired from the disaster information and the calling conditions stored in the condition storage unit 12 are as follows.

[Earthquake information] Disaster level (Seismic intensity = 6, Magnitude = 8)
Disaster location (Okayama Prefecture)
[Calling conditions] Personal information: Disaster level (Seismic intensity = 5 or higher, Magnitude = 8 or higher)
My position (Minato-ku, Tokyo)
Opponent Information 1: Disaster Level (Seismic Intensity = 5 +, Magnitude = 8 +)
Opponent position (Okayama City, Okayama Prefecture)
Phone number (08669-X-XXXX)
Opponent information 2: Disaster level (Seismic intensity = 5 +, Magnitude = 8 +)
Opponent position (Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture)
Phone number (0798-YY-YYYY)
Opponent information 3: Disaster level (Seismic intensity = 5 or higher, Magnitude = 8 or higher)
Opponent position (Kibitsu, Okayama Prefecture)
Phone number (090-ZZZZ-ZZZZ)
In this case, the disaster level of the disaster information (seismic intensity = 6 strong, magnitude = 8) is greater than the self information and the partner information disaster level (seismic intensity = 5 strong or higher, magnitude = 8 or higher), which satisfies the condition. The disaster location of disaster information (whole Okayama prefecture) satisfies the conditions including Okayama city of Okayama prefecture of partner information 1 and Kibitsu of Okayama prefecture of partner information 3. Therefore, the determination unit 15 determines that the disaster information satisfies the calling conditions of the partner information 1 and the partner information 3.

  When it is determined that the disaster information satisfies the calling condition of either the own information or the partner information (S13: YES), the determination unit 15 determines whether the target automatic call destination is one or more (S14). ).

  When the other party information satisfies the calling condition (when the other party is a stricken area), the determination unit 15 determines that there is only one target automatic call destination when there is one other party information that satisfies the condition. Determine. Further, the determination unit 15 refers to the automatic call rules (FIG. 5) stored in the condition storage unit 12 even when there are a plurality of pieces of partner information that satisfy the call conditions, and the call order has the highest priority. In the case of a call until it is connected to high-level partner information, it is determined that there is one target automatic call destination. Further, the determination unit 15 determines that when there are a plurality of pieces of partner information that satisfy the calling condition and the automatic calling rule is a call according to the priority order, there are a plurality of target automatic call destinations. Determine.

  If the information that satisfies the calling condition is self-information (if the person is in a disaster area), the determination unit 15 refers to the automatic calling rule (FIG. 5) stored in the condition storage unit 12 and the calling order is In the case of a call until connected to the first partner information 1, it is determined that there is one target automatic call destination. On the other hand, the determination unit 15 determines that there are a plurality of target automatic call destinations when the automatic call rules are calls in order according to the call order (priority order).

  When there is one target automatic call destination (S14: YES), the determination unit 15 sends a call instruction specifying the telephone number of the target partner information to the call unit 16. Specifically, if the other party information satisfies the calling condition, the other party information satisfying the calling condition is called, and the telephone number of the other party information having the highest priority (the calling order is small) is called. Send to unit 16. If the self-information satisfies the calling condition, the telephone number of the partner information 1 is sent to the calling unit 16.

  The calling unit 16 calls the telephone number received from the determining unit 15 until the other party answers (off-hooks) (S15). Then, when the other party responds and the call line is connected and secured and it is detected that the call is ready, the calling unit 16 transmits a success notification to the call time limit unit 17.

  When there are a plurality of target automatic call destinations (S14: NO), the determination unit 15 sends a call command specifying the telephone number of the target partner information with the highest priority to the call unit 16. Send it out. Specifically, when the other party information satisfies the calling condition, the calling party 16 selects the telephone number of the other party information that satisfies the calling condition and has the highest priority (the calling order is small). To send. When the information satisfying the calling condition is own information, the telephone number of the partner information 1 is sent to the calling section 16.

  The calling unit 16 calls the telephone number received from the determination unit 15 (S16). The calling unit 16 notifies the failure when there is no response even if a call is made for a predetermined time set on the setting screen of FIG. 5 or when a voice call cannot be established because the line is disconnected (S16: no response). Is sent to the determination unit 15. On the other hand, when the other party responds (S16: There is a response), the calling unit 16 transmits a success notification to the call time limit unit 17.

  Upon receipt of the failure notification, the determination unit 15 returns to S16 if there is the next target partner information (S17: YES), and issues a call instruction specifying the telephone number of the next target partner information. It is sent to the call unit 16. Specifically, when the other party information satisfies the calling condition, it is the other party information that satisfies the calling condition and has the next highest priority information (the next party information with the next lowest calling order). The telephone number is sent to the calling unit 16. If the self-information satisfies the calling condition, the telephone number of the partner information 2 is sent to the calling unit 16. If there is no next target partner information (S17: NO), the process ends.

  When the call time limit unit 17 receives the notification of the success of the establishment of the voice call from the calling unit 16, the call time limit unit 17 starts a countdown of a call available time set in advance, and disconnects the call line when the call available time becomes 0 (S18). ). The available call time is set by a service provider (such as a communication provider) to prevent the user of the communication device 1 of the present embodiment from occupying a telephone line unnecessarily during a disaster. . For example, the call time limiter 17 outputs a warning sound at regular intervals such as “remaining time is 10 seconds” and forcibly disconnects the line when the available call time is exceeded and releases the line.

  For some reason, it may be necessary to continue the call beyond the specified callable time. Therefore, a mechanism for extending the callable time (for example, displaying an extension button on the display) may be implemented. If the extension button is pressed, it may be possible to prevent unnecessary extension of the available call time by setting a restriction that the reason must be submitted to a service provider (such as a telecommunications carrier) at a later date. .

  As for the extension button, the service provider decides whether or not the “extension button” can be used when distributing the application of the communication device 1 of the present embodiment, and “extends” only to the user's communication device that can be used. An application having a function capable of displaying the “button” may be distributed. In addition, the service provider may set the number of times that the service can be extended, the number of seconds that can be extended, etc. for the user who has applied for the use of the “extension button”, and the extension button can be pressed according to the number of times ( For example, in the ticket system, there may be a mechanism for reducing the ticket every time the button is pressed or according to the extended number of seconds. Further, the “extension button” from the service provider may be set through a communication line or the like at normal times. In addition, when the “extension button” is pressed, the communication apparatus 1 automatically notifies the service provider through the communication line or the like of the result of pressing the “extension button” after returning to the normal time (number of times, extended time, etc.). You may make it notify.

  In addition, when there are special circumstances, it may be possible to set the callable time to infinity. In this case, the call time limit unit 17 does not disconnect the call line, either until the call line is disconnected by manually hooking either the user or the other party, or due to a failure or a power failure of the communication equipment. Calls can be made until the call line is disconnected.

  Further, the call time restriction unit 17 may start counting down the callable time at the timing when the actual call is started, not at the timing when the success notification of the establishment of the call line is received. The call time limit unit 17 can detect whether a line is simply connected or a call is started by detecting continuous voice input.

  In S15 and S16, before the calling unit 16 actually makes an automatic call, the determination unit 15 displays the telephone number and calling button of the other party information to be called on the display, It may be inquired whether or not to make a call to the displayed telephone number. In this case, when the user presses the calling button, the telephone number is sent to the calling unit 16, and the calling unit 16 calls the telephone number received from the determination unit 15.

  Further, when it is determined that the earthquake information satisfies the calling condition of either the own information or the other party information (S13: YES), the determination unit 15 sends an activation notification to the activation unit 18. As a result, the activation unit 18 activates a predetermined application program installed in the communication device 1. For example, the activation unit 18 activates one-segment television, radio, video recording, videophone, and the like.

  In addition, even if you are in a disaster area or in the case of a disaster area, once you have successfully secured a call line and made a call with one of the other parties, Ends. This is to prevent a single user from occupying a telephone line for a long time at the time of a disaster, thereby hindering other telephone applicants who need more urgency from securing a telephone line. For example, there is a case where an earthquake occurs in the whole area of Okayama Prefecture, and it is desired to make a call with a partner of the partner information 3 (Kibitsu) after an automatic call is successfully completed to the partner of the partner information 1 (Okayama City). In consideration of such a case, the determination unit 15 of the communication device 1 displays the telephone number and call button of the other party information to which the call has not been made on the display, and the user presses the call button. Thus, the telephone number may be sent to the calling unit 16, and the calling unit 16 may call the telephone number received from the determination unit 15.

  In addition, when not only the user's communication device 1 but also the other party uses the communication device 1 of the present embodiment, in the following situation at the time of the disaster, both the own and the other party's communication terminals call each other. It is possible to do.

(A) Although the other party information satisfies the calling condition, the calling party also satisfies the calling condition.

(B) Although it is the self-information that satisfies the calling condition, the other party also satisfies the calling condition.

(C) Both you and the other party are located in the earthquake disaster area and meet the calling conditions.

  Therefore, in the above case, for example, the following setting and processing may be performed in order to avoid calling each other from both the communication terminal of the other party and the other party.

(1) When registering partner information, a predetermined partner is set to wait without making a call.

(2) When registering partner information, whether or not the partner communication device 2 is the communication device of the present embodiment (whether the application is installed) is automatically confirmed through the network, and the communication device of the present embodiment In the case where the user is registered as partner information, the user can select whether to be a calling party or a called party.

(3) The above (2) is periodically checked, and if applicable, it is possible to select whether to be the caller or the callee.

(4) When the calling condition is satisfied, the status of the partner communication terminal is automatically checked so that whether to call or wait can be selected.

Note that the settings and processes (1) to (4) may be automatically determined by the communication device (application) of the present embodiment.

  The communication apparatus according to the present embodiment described above automatically makes a call to a telephone number registered in advance using the reception of disaster information as a trigger, and secures a communication line with a partner who wants to be contacted by voice in the event of a disaster. As a result, in this embodiment, in preparation for a huge earthquake that occurs after a few seconds, during a defensive posture, in the middle of enduring a large tremor of an earthquake, or immediately after an unimaginable tremor has ended, nothing can be shaken Even if there is, the communication device automatically makes a call to the telephone number set in advance, so there is a high possibility that a telephone line can be secured before the switch becomes congested or before it breaks down due to a power failure. When the person returns to me, he / she can confirm safety, communicate and communicate information by voice call with the other party. Note that once a line is connected and placed in a call state, it is not subject to outgoing / incoming call restrictions imposed by the telecommunications carrier to avoid switch congestion, and the line will not be disconnected. .

  In addition, by automatically calling a preset phone number, even if there is a lot of shaking due to a large earthquake and the dialing operation is not successful, many people have begun to make safety confirmation calls all at once. A telephone line can be secured quickly before congestion occurs.

  In the present embodiment, a user (for example, himself / herself in Tokyo) who is using the communication device 1 of the present embodiment in a first area is a partner (for example, Okayama) who is in a preset second area. The other party's communication device 2 is automatically called, but the disaster information that triggers it is not only when the user of the communication device 1 becomes a disaster area, but also when the other party becomes a disaster area. Also automatically called. Thereby, even when the other party who wants to secure the telephone line in the event of a disaster is far away and the disaster area is the other party, the communication apparatus 1 of the present embodiment starts automatic calling and secures the line. , You can quickly know the crisis of the far-end partner, and at the same time can secure the telephone line.

  In the present embodiment, if one of the two parties (caller side) who wants to contact (call) at the time of a disaster uses the communication device 1 of the present embodiment, automatic calling is possible. That is, the called communication device 2 on the receiving side may be any communication device (general fixed telephone, mobile phone, personal computer, smartphone) having a call function, and its line type (analog line, ISDN line, mobile phone line, IP telephone lines, etc.) do not matter. Further, in order to receive an automatic call from the communication apparatus 1, the counterpart communication apparatus 2 does not require any special software installation, new equipment installation, or new line contract.

  For this reason, it is difficult for the elderly to use it on a regular basis, and it is difficult to use the phone. By using it as it is, it is possible to make a call at the time of disaster and to reduce anxiety at the time of disaster. In other words, even elderly people who are unfamiliar with the operation of IT equipment can make a call with confidence in a disaster.

  For example, in an extreme case, when a user who uses the communication device 1 of the present embodiment makes a business trip overseas, if a large earthquake occurs in Okayama Prefecture where his grandmother lives, the communication device 1 carried by the user is warned. An emergency call is notified by sound and vibrator, and an international call is automatically made to Okayama Prefecture in Japan. A grandmother in Okayama Prefecture can make a voice call with a user of the overseas communication device 1 just by taking a fixed telephone that starts to ring immediately before the earthquake occurs or during the shaking of the earthquake.
