Abstract

An information transmission system includes a message generation unit for creating a first message which contains specific information having information on a location and is to be transmitted to mobile phones and a database which is used for creating the first message and contains location information per mobile phone and safety information per user of the mobile phone. The first message has two or more hyperlinks to be used for sending a reply regarding safety of a user of a transmission-destination mobile phone. URL information associated with the hyperlink contains different parameters depending on a type of the reply regarding safety of the user of the mobile phone. The safety information in the database is updated based on the reply regarding safety using any one of the two or more hyperlinks.

Claims

1. An information transmission system comprising:

a message generation unit for creating a first message which contains specific information having information on a location and is to be transmitted to mobile phones; and

a database which is used for creating the first message and contains location information per mobile phone and safety information per user of the mobile phone;

wherein the first message has two or more hyperlinks to be used for sending a reply regarding safety of a user of a transmission-destination mobile phone,

wherein URL information associated with the hyperlink contains different parameters depending on a type of the reply regarding safety of the user of the mobile phone;

wherein the safety information in the database is updated based on the reply regarding safety using any one of the two or more hyperlinks; and

wherein when an address of the URL information associated with the hyperlink is accessed from the mobile phone, the mobile phone displays a Web page with the address containing location information of a different mobile phone from the mobile phone and safety information updated based on a reply regarding safety from the user of the different mobile phone.

2. The information transmission system according to claim 1, wherein the message generation unit makes at least either a determination as to whether to contain the two or more hyperlinks in the first message, or an adjustment of a timing to transmit the first message on the basis of location information of a mobile phone, information on the location contained in the specific information, and contents of the specific information.

3. The information transmission system according to claim 2, wherein the message generation unit makes at least either the determination or the adjustment in consideration of areas designated per mobile phone.

4. The information transmission system according to claim 1, wherein the message generation unit creates a second message which contains location information of a different mobile phone from the mobile phone and safety information of the user of the different mobile phone and is to be transmitted to the mobile phone after a lapse of certain time since it creates the first message.

5. The information transmission system according to claim 1, wherein a predetermined identification mark is provided in part of an address of the URL information associated with the hyperlink, and

the mobile phone is installed with software for, when recognizing the predetermined identification mark, repeatedly accessing the address until a Web page with the address is viewable.

6. The information transmission system according to claim 1, wherein when an access to an address of a destination link associated with the hyperlink is denied at a base transceiver station of the mobile phone, the base transceiver station transmits, to a server, information containing identification information of the mobile phone which has accessed, and the database is updated based on the identification information.

7. The information transmission system according to claim 1, wherein the first message is transmitted via a radio access network of a communication carrier of the mobile phone.

8. The information transmission system according to claim 7, wherein the first message is SMS or EMS transmitted via a message processing system of the communication carrier of the mobile phone.

9. The information transmission system according to claim 1, wherein the safety information in the database is determined based on information on a phone number or a user of the mobile phone contained in the parameters, and a predetermined identifier.

10. The information transmission system according to claim 1,

wherein the safety information in the database can be updated via a different device from the mobile phone, and

wherein information updated via the different device can be discriminated from information updated via the mobile phone.

11. An information transmission system comprising:

a message generation unit for creating a first message which contains specific information having information on a location and is to be transmitted to mobile phones; and

a database which is used for creating the first message and contains location information per mobile phone and safety information per user of the mobile phone,

wherein the first message has two or more hyperlinks to be used for sending a reply regarding safety of a user of a transmission-destination mobile phone;

wherein URL information associated with the hyperlink contains different parameters depending on a type of the reply regarding safety of the user of the mobile phone;

wherein the safety information in the database is updated based on the reply regarding safety using any one of the two or more hyperlinks;

wherein a predetermined identification mark is provided in part of an address of the URL information associated with the hyperlink; and

wherein the mobile phone is installed with software for, when recognizing the predetermined identification mark, repeatedly accessing the address until a Web page with the address is viewable.

12. An information transmission system comprising:

a message generation unit for creating a first message which contains specific information having information on a location and is to be transmitted to mobile phones; and

a database which is used for creating the first message and contains location information per mobile phone and safety information per user of the mobile phone,

wherein the first message has two or more hyperlinks to be used for sending a reply regarding safety of a user of a transmission-destination mobile phone;

wherein URL information associated with the hyperlink contains different parameters depending on a type of the reply regarding safety of the user of the mobile phone;

wherein the safety information in the database is updated based on the reply regarding safety using any one of the two or more hyperlinks; and

wherein when an access to an address of a destination link associated with the hyperlink is denied at a base transceiver station of the mobile phone, the base transceiver station transmits, to the server, information containing identification information of the mobile phone which has accessed, and the database is updated based on the identification information.
