Prototype Implementation of a Personalized Warning Notification System based on Geosocial Information

지오소셜 정보 기반 개인 맞춤형 경보 시스템 원형 구현

Nowadays a disaster event such as a building on fire, an earthquake or typhoon could occur any time, and any where. In such event, a warning notification system is a vital tool to send warning notifications to at-risk people in advance and provide them useful information to escape the dangerous area. Though some systems have been proposed such as emergency alert system using android, SMS or P2P overlay network, these works mainly focus on a reliable message distribution methods. In this work, we introduce a full prototype implementation of a personalized warning notification system based on geosocial information, which generates a personalized warning message for each user and delivers the messages through email or an android application. The system consists of four main modules: a web interface, database, a knowledge-based message generator, and message distributor. An android application is also created for user to receive warning messages on their smart phone. The prototype has been demonstrated successfully with a building-on-fire scenario.
