NTT DoCoMo installs emergency earthquake bulletin function in the 905i series released in December

According to the report of Sankei Shimbun, according to the FOMA "905i series" scheduled to be released by NTT DoCoMo in December, the Meteorological Agency analyzed observational data captured by seismographs close to the epicenter immediately after the occurrence of the earthquake, We immediately estimate the magnitude (magnitude) of the earthquake, and based on this estimate the earthquake occurrence time and predicted seismic intensity of each place as quickly as possible "Earthquake Early WarningIt seems to correspond to.

It may be an encouraging function as it feels like there are many strong earthquakes in recent years.

Details are as follows.

According to this article, in order to make the 905i series correspond to the "Earthquake Early Warning", NTT Docomo has developed a technology called "Cell Broadcast System" that can identify delivery areas and deliver short messages all at once .

In the system using traditional mail etc., when delivering messages all at once, there was a possibility that a significant delay of incoming calls due to system concentration occurred and it was not possible to use it in an emergency breaking news report.

In the new function, it is supposed to be completed within 10 seconds from the provision of the preliminary report of the Meteorological Agency to the delivery of the message, and in the case where it is expected that an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 5 or more is generated, the shake of a seismic intensity of 4 or more is expected in the area The earthquake occurred at ○ ○ (place and area name) towards the terminal, letter information such as please prepare for strong shaking "is flowed. Use of service is free.

By the way, KDDI is supposed to be considering correspondence with a new terminal to be announced next spring or summer, and NTT DoCoMo's network system is different, but in order to avoid user confusion, the wording of the breaking news is the same I used it. Also, SOFTBANK expects to install functions during FY 2008, but it seems that details of providing methods etc. are under consideration.

I just said "If you have it, you will not feel sad", but it is necessary to think about what to do in case you receive a preliminary report on a daily basis.
