Disaster prediction system
First Claim
1. A disaster prediction system in which a disaster prediction apparatus collects abnormality detection signals relating to a natural disaster from a plurality of mobile communications apparatuses via a wireless communications network and provides information related to the natural disaster analyzed by the disaster prediction apparatus to the mobile communications apparatuses via the wireless communications network, the disaster prediction system comprising:
- said mobile communications apparatuses, each mobile communications apparatus comprising;
a location detection section that locates a present position;
an abnormal signal detection section that receives an electromagnetic signal coming from a natural world, detects an abnormal signal and outputs an abnormality detection signal;
a first communications section that transmits the present position to a location management apparatus via the wireless communications network, transmits the abnormality detection signal to the disaster prediction apparatus via the wireless communications network, and receives the information related to the natural disaster from the disaster prediction apparatus via the wireless communications network; and
an alerting section that alerts the information related to the natural disaster received by the first communications section;
the location management apparatus receives present positions from the plurality of mobile communications apparatuses via the wireless communications network and manages location information of each mobile communications apparatus; and
said disaster prediction apparatus, comprising;
a second communications section that receives abnormality detection signals from the plurality of mobile communications apparatuses via the wireless communications network, receives the location information of each mobile communications apparatus from the location management apparatus via the wireless communications network, and transmits the information related to the natural disaster to the plurality of mobile communications apparatuses via the wireless communications network;
a disaster prediction section that collects and analyzes the abnormality detection signals received from the plurality of mobile communications apparatuses per area based on the location information and predicts occurrence of the natural disaster per area; and
an information generating section that generates the information related to the natural disaster based on results of prediction by the disaster prediction section.

Abstract
A disaster prediction system that provides a plurality of mobile communications apparatuses with a function for detecting abnormal signals that are effective in natural disaster prediction, manages location information for the mobile communications apparatuses and appropriately sets areas of natural disaster prediction, collects a plurality of abnormality detection signals from the mobile communications apparatuses, analyzes these signals per area of prediction, improves the accuracy of natural disaster occurrence prediction, and transmits natural disaster-related information to a plurality of mobile communications apparatuses present in the areas of prediction. In this system, a mobile terminal 200 is equipped with functions for detecting an electromagnetic signal which correlates with earthquake occurrence and which comes from underground and detecting an abnormal electromagnetic signal and a function for locating its present position, a location management apparatus 300 manages location information for a plurality of mobile terminals 200, and an earthquake prediction apparatus 400 appropriately sets the areas of prediction of earthquake occurrence, according to the location management information, and collects a plurality of abnormality detection signals from the mobile terminals 200, generates earthquake-related alert information based on analysis per area of prediction, and transmits that information to the mobile terminals 200.
