1335003 2010/3/11 九、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明係關於一種地震警報系統(earthquake warning system)及方法’並且特別地’本發明係關於一種結合多種 感測裝置之地震警報系統及方法。 【先前技術】 地震發生的原因多是由於不同性質的板塊不斷的擠 壓,累積變形能量’並且於超過岩石能夠忍受的程度後, 將累積的變形能量在瞬間釋放出來。台灣位在環太平洋地 震帶上’因為相鄰的歐亞板塊以及菲律賓海板塊不斷移 動’並且推擠磁撞’因此不斷地累積及釋放能量,造成地 震便周而復始不斷發生。 隨著人口成長以及經濟的發展,台灣的人口以及各種 建設多集中在西半部的都市區域,因此在地震發生時很容 易造成生命財產的巨大損失。此外,地震也容易形成海嘯 而侵襲各國沿海地區,例如2004年底因為地震引起的南亞 大海嘯侵襲了印尼、泰國、馬來西亞、馬爾地夫等國之沿 海地區以及島嶼上之人命以及財產難以估計的損失。 為了能偵測地震的發生,並且達到預警的功能,許多 相關的裝置以及系統被提出。舉例而言,NASA/JPL的「南 加州整合定位網路(Southern California Integrated GPS Network,SCIGN)」計畫,就是以長時間、多點的GPS觀測, 6 1335003 2010/3/11 來測知地殼的移動,以分析南加州地殼應力集中情形,期 望預估地震可能發生的前兆。然而,此計劃所偵測的資訊 只能當作是地震可能發生的前兆,還是沒有辦法應用來預 報地震,就算分析判定出可能有地震要發生,也無法準確 報出地震發生的位置、強度及時間。 雖然準確預報地震不大可行,可是「地震即時警報」, 就算預警警報只能提前一點時間,大家還是可以做出正確 判斷,提早準備逃生,減少生命財產的損失。所以警報系 統設計要能「爭取寶貴的每一秒」,將發生地震的訊息, 通知使用者。 因此地震感測器就非常靈敏’ α感測微小的可能地震 波結果部越易被雜訊干擾,而越有可能發纟「.假警報」, 此等雜訊干擾可包含許多可能,例如:電磁波造成感測電 路的雜5fl、人或疋動物奔跑通過、噴射飛機音爆、炮竹爆 炸、重型車輛經過、附近施工、趟風暴雨的洪水運動及強1335003 2010/3/11 IX. Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to an earthquake warning system and method 'and in particular' the present invention relates to an earthquake combining a plurality of sensing devices Alarm system and method. [Prior Art] The cause of the earthquake is mostly due to the continuous extrusion of plates of different nature, accumulating deformation energy' and releasing the accumulated deformation energy instantaneously after exceeding the extent that the rock can tolerate. Taiwan is located in the Pacific Rim Earthquake Belt. Because the adjacent Eurasian plate and the Philippine Sea plate are constantly moving and pushing the magnetic collision, the energy is continuously accumulated and released, causing the earthquake to occur repeatedly. With population growth and economic development, Taiwan's population and various constructions are concentrated in the western half of the urban area, so it is easy to cause huge loss of life and property in the event of an earthquake. In addition, earthquakes are also prone to tsunami and invade coastal areas. For example, the tsunami in South Asia caused by the earthquake at the end of 2004 invaded the coastal areas of Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Maldives and other countries and the unpredictable loss of property on the island. . In order to be able to detect the occurrence of an earthquake and achieve the function of early warning, many related devices and systems have been proposed. For example, NASA/JPL's "Southern California Integrated GPS Network (SCIGN)" program measures the crust with long-term, multi-point GPS observations, 6 1335003 2010/3/11. The movement to analyze the stress concentration of the crustal in Southern California is expected to predict the possible precursors of the earthquake. However, the information detected by this plan can only be regarded as a precursor to the earthquake, or there is no way to predict the earthquake. Even if the analysis determines that an earthquake may occur, it cannot accurately report the location and intensity of the earthquake. time. Although accurate prediction of earthquakes is not feasible, it is an "earthquake alarm". Even if the warning alert can only be advanced a little earlier, you can still make a correct judgment, prepare for escape early, and reduce the loss of life and property. Therefore, the alarm system should be designed to "get every precious second" and inform the user of the earthquake. Therefore, the seismic sensor is very sensitive. 'α Sensing the small possible seismic wave result is more susceptible to noise interference, and the more likely it is to issue a false alarm. These noise interferences can contain many possibilities, such as electromagnetic waves. The noise of the sensing circuit is 5fl, the human or scorpion animal runs through, the jet blast, the firecracker explosion, the heavy vehicle passing, the nearby construction, the flooding movement of the storm and the strong

Each of the first detecting devices is disposed at a predetermined distance to sense a seismic wave, and generates a first signal according to the seismic wave and the time information, respectively. The processing device is respectively communicatively coupled to the first detecting devices for receiving the first signals and generating an alert signal according to a criterion. The first communication device is communicatively coupled to the processing device for receiving the alert signal and transmitting the alert signal to a remote receiving station. The second communication device is also communicatively coupled to the processing device for receiving the alert signal and transmitting the alert signal to the remote receiving station. A seismic warning system according to another preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of first detecting devices, a second detecting device, a processing device, a land-based communication device, and a satellite communication device. Each of the first detecting devices is disposed at a predetermined distance to sense a seismic wave, and generates a first signal according to the seismic wave and the time information, respectively. The second detecting means is for measuring the amount of movement of a target and generating a second signal based on the amount of movement. 8 1335003 2010/3/11 The processing device is separately connected to the first detecting device and the second detecting device for receiving the first signal and the second signal, and generating a Warning signal. The land-based communication device is communicatively coupled to the processing device for receiving the warning signal and transmitting the warning signal to a remote receiving station via a radio wave transmission network. The satellite communication device is also communicatively coupled to the processing device for receiving the alert signal and transmitting the alert signal to the remote receiving station via a satellite.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method includes the following steps: first, sensing a seismic wave, and generating a plurality of first signals according to the seismic wave and a time information; subsequently, receiving the first signals, and according to A criterion generates a warning signal; and transmits the warning signal to a remote receiving station via a radio wave transmitting network and a satellite, respectively. The advantages and spirit of the present invention will be further understood from the following detailed description of the invention. [Embodiment] Please refer to Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a functional block diagram of an earthquake warning system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the earthquake warning system 1 according to the present invention includes three first detecting devices, a processing apparatus, and a first communication. A communicating apparatus 16 and a second communication device 18. 9 1335003 2010/3/11 The three first detecting devices 10 are arranged at a predetermined distance to sense a seismic wave, and generate a first signal according to the seismic wave and a time information, respectively. The processing device 14 is respectively connected to or electrically connected to the three first detecting devices 10 for receiving the first signals and generating an alert signal according to a criterion. The first communication device 16 is communicatively coupled to the processing device ι4 for receiving the alert signal and transmitting the alert signal to a remote receiving station 30. The second communication device 18 is also communicatively coupled to the processing device 14, and is also operative to receive the alert signal and transmit the alert signal to the remote receiving station 30. In the specific embodiment, the three first detecting devices 10 further include an accelerometer 104 and a processor (not shown). The acceleration gauge 104 can sense the surface inertial acceleration value caused by the seismic wave, and the processing n can process the acceleration value sensed by the acceleration & 1G4, and generate the first signal according to the acceleration value and the time information. Further, in the present embodiment, the first detecting device 10 of the present invention further includes a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver 102 to correct the electronic clock in the first detecting device 10. Using the GPS receiver 1〇2, in addition to the general application to provide location information, you can also output very accurate time information: Some of the first detection devices 1G', although far apart, have very precise electronic times at the same time. The error between the clocks is one second. ~ 幻丁in the actual application t run, firecracker explosion, 'to avoid the interference caused by the detection of the source of heavy vehicles, construction vibrations, etc. 'such as animals' caused by 10 1335003 2010/3/11 error warning, resulting in Panic, wait for the first time:: The distance must be long enough. In practical applications, the predetermined distance can be between I30 and 5 ft (depending on the convenience of the building, selecting the appropriate distance to cause the aforementioned noise interference to occur "at the same time" occurs in the second device, however, because The seismic wave velocity is much larger than the interference, so the first detecting device can feel the earthquake almost simultaneously. • Thereby, the processing device can “based on the first signal generated by the first measuring device 1〇 Judging whether an earthquake has occurred. For example, when the three first detecting devices are respectively disposed at a distance of 5 〇 meters, when: the earthquake occurs, the J _ first debt measuring devices should be able to The time information of the shock wave generates the first signal. Therefore, when only the first detecting device has to detect the seismic wave, the processing device 14 can determine that the seismic wave may be due to the animal or the heavy vehicle passing the first light. The earthquake alarm system of the present invention further includes a second detecting device electrically connected to each of the first detections. And the processing device. In particular, in the embodiment, the second detecting device includes a global positioning system that is disposed on a target, such as the first detecting device or the second detecting device itself. And the satellite coordinates the coordinates of the target. Therefore, when an earthquake occurs, the second detecting device can detect the coordinate change of the target to obtain the amount of movement. Further, in the specific embodiment, The time information can be provided by the second detecting device. 1335003 2010/3/11 Since the seismic wave generated by the earthquake is very fast (about 6 kilometers per second), the first detecting device 1G should be at the same time interval. The processing device 14 determines, based on the time information contained in the first signal generated by the first detecting device (7), whether the first detecting device 1 detects external vibration at the same time. For example, the error must be judged within eight thousandths of a second to determine the authenticity of the first signal, to achieve accurate judgment and reduce misjudgment. In practical applications, the aforementioned warning signal includes the position of the first detecting device. Information, the intensity information of the shock wave, and the time information. In practical applications, the first communication device of the present invention may include a radio wave transmitting device for transmitting the warning signal through a radio wave transmission network, such as an ultra high frequency. (Ultra High Frequency, UHF) radio wave transmission network, a Very High Frequency (VHF) radio wave transmission network, a mobile telephone communication network, and a fixed-line telephone network, etc., to the remote receiving station In a practical application, the second communication device of the present invention may comprise a satellite signal transmitting device for transmitting the warning signal to the remote receiving station via a satellite, such as a maritime satellite. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a seismic warning system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The earthquake warning system includes a plurality of 12 1335003 2010/3/11 first detecting devices 40, a processing device 44, a land-based communication device 46, and a satellite communicating apparatus 48. Each of the first detecting devices 40 is disposed at a predetermined distance to sense a seismic wave 52, and generates a first signal according to the seismic wave 52 and a time information, respectively, and transmits the first signal to the processing device 44. The processing device 44 is communicatively coupled to the first detecting devices 4 for receiving the first signals and generating an alert signal according to a criterion. The land-based communication device 46 is communicatively coupled to the processing device 44 for receiving the alert signal and transmitting the alert signal to a remote receiving station 6 (or relay station) via a radio wave transmission network 54. The satellite communication device 48 is also communicatively coupled to the processing device 44 for receiving the alert signal' and transmitting the alert signal to the remote receiving station 60 (or relay station) via a satellite 56, such as a maritime satellite. Further, the back-end receiving station 60 can transmit an alarm about the warning signal and earthquake information through a broadcast, television, webpage, or the like. Moreover, the remote receiving station 60 can also generate a suspension signal under security considerations, and transmit the suspension signal to an electronic device such as a computer, a gas control device, and an electromechanical system, such as a railway system, a rapid transit system, Used to interrupt the operation of such electronic devices or electromechanical systems. In particular, since the earthquake warning system of the present invention includes a satellite communication device 13 1335003 2010/3/11, when the radio wave transmission network is destroyed by an earthquake, causing the land-based communication device to fail to operate normally, the present invention The earthquake warning system can still alert via satellite. In practical applications, the first detecting devices may include an acceleration gauge. And 'in practical applications' the predetermined distance is between 3 and 50 meters.
