Abstract

A transmission server includes an emergency information generator configured to generate emergency information indicating at least occurrence of emergency, an incoming operation identifier generator configured to generate an incoming operation identifier indicating at least an incoming operation for the broadcast message, and a communication unit configured to transmit the broadcast message including the emergency information and the incoming operation identifier. A mobile terminal includes a communication unit configured to receive the broadcast message, and a notification unit configured to execute the incoming operation for the broadcast message in accordance with the incoming operation indicated by the incoming operation identifier generator. The broadcast message in the radio network includes at least a message field and a specific type field. The emergency information is included in the message field, and the incoming operation identifier is included in the specific type field.

Claims

1. An emergency information delivery system which includes a transmission server and a mobile terminal, and in which a broadcast message is broadcasted to the mobile terminal by use of a radio network, wherein

the transmission server includes:

a first generator configured to generate an emergency information indicating at least occurrence of emergency;

a second generator configured to generate an incoming operation identifier indicating at least an incoming operation for the broadcast message; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the broadcast message including the emergency information and the incoming operation identifier,

the mobile terminal includes;

an incoming unit configured to receive the broadcast message including the emergency information and the incoming operation identifier; and

an incoming processor configured to execute the incoming operation for the broadcast message in accordance with the incoming operation indicated by the incoming operation identifier,

the broadcast message in the radio network has a format including at least a message field storing a content of the message and a specific type field storing a bit indicating a specific message type,

the emergency information is included in the message field, and

the incoming operation identifier is included in the specific type field.

2. The emergency information delivery system according to claim 1, wherein

the mobile terminal further includes:

a storage unit configured to store the incoming operation for the broadcast message; and

a determination unit configured to determine whether to comply with the incoming operation indicated by the incoming operation identifier, and

the incoming processor executes the incoming operation for the broadcast message in accordance with the incoming operation stored in the storage unit when it is determined not to comply with the incoming operation indicated by the incoming operation identifier.

3. An emergency information delivery method for broadcasting a broadcast message to a mobile terminal by use of a radio network in an emergency information delivery system including a transmission server and the mobile terminal, the emergency information delivery method comprising the steps of:

causing the transmission server to generate emergency information indicating at least occurrence of emergency;

causing the transmission server to generate an incoming operation identifier indicating at least an incoming operation for the broadcast message;

causing the transmission server to transmit the broadcast message including the emergency information and the incoming operation identifier; and

causing the mobile terminal to execute the incoming operation for the broadcast message in accordance with the incoming operation indicated by the incoming operation identifier, wherein the broadcast message in the radio network has a format including at least a message field storing a content of the message and a specific type field storing a bit indicating a specific message type,

the emergency information is included in the message field, and

the incoming operation identifier is included in the specific type field.

4. A transmission server transmitting a broadcast message in an emergency information delivery system in which the broadcast message is broadcasted to the mobile terminal by use of a radio network, the transmission server comprising:

a first generator configured to generate emergency information indicating at least occurrence of emergency;

a second generator configured to generate an incoming operation identifier indicating at least an incoming operation for the broadcast message; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the broadcast message including at least the emergency information and the incoming operation identifier, wherein

the broadcast message in the radio network has a format including at least a message field storing a content of the message and a specific type field storing a bit indicating a specific message type,

the emergency information is included in the message field, and

the incoming operation identifier, is included in the specific type field.

5. A mobile terminal that receives a broadcast message in an emergency information delivery system in which the broadcast message is broadcasted by use of a radio network, the mobile terminal comprising:

an incoming unit configured to receive the broadcast message including emergency information indicating at least occurrence of emergency and an incoming operation identifier indicating at least an incoming operation for the broadcast message; and

an incoming processor configured to execute the incoming operation for the broadcast message in accordance with the incoming operation indicated by the incoming operation identifier, wherein

the broadcast message in the radio network has a format including at least a message field storing a content of the message and a specific type field storing a bit indicating a specific message type,

the emergency information is included in the message field, and

the incoming operation identifier is included in the specific type field.
