Summary
This paper shows two systems. One is a system which automatically extracts spatial information safely and securely from the information on the WWW. Another is a system for offering safe and secure information with augmented reality on a smartphone. In the first system, an automatic search of the WWW and the natural language processing realizes the acquisition extraction of safe and secure information, and plots the information on a map. In the second system, information of the dangerous area is registered in a smartphone, and when a user approaches the dangerous area, the smartphone signals with vibration, sound or augmented reality. By using these systems, a user can leave dangerous areas and a user's awareness of disaster prevention can be raised.
