Information providing system, server, information providing method, and computer program

A server capable of communicating with a mobile terminal, the server comprising:

• a dynamic information acquiring unit configured to sequentially acquire dynamic information including location information of the mobile terminal and weather information of an area where the mobile terminal is located;
• a static information acquiring unit configured to acquire static information including hazard map information indicating a predicted area where occurrence of a weather disaster in an assumed weather state is predicted, the assumed weather state being a weather state in which the occurrence of the weather disaster is predicted;
• a setting unit configured to set a dangerous area in the predicted area based on the dynamic information and the static information, the dangerous area being an area where an user of the mobile terminal is likely to be at risk;
• and
• a communication control unit configured to transmit information on the dangerous area to the mobile terminal, wherein
• the setting unit is configured to set the dangerous area before a weather state indicated by the sequentially acquired information becomes the assumed weather state.

An information providing method for providing information to a mobile terminal, the information providing method comprising:

• sequentially acquiring dynamic information including location information of the mobile terminal and weather information of an area where the mobile terminal is located;
• acquiring static information including hazard map information indicating a predicted area where occurrence of a weather disaster in an assumed weather state is predicted, the assumed weather state being a weather state in which the occurrence of the weather disaster is predicted;
• setting a dangerous area in the predicted area based on the dynamic information and the static information, the dangerous area being an area where an user of the mobile terminal is likely to be at risk;
• and
• transmitting information on the dangerous area to the mobile terminal, wherein
• in the setting, the dangerous area is set before a weather state indicated by the sequentially acquired information becomes the assumed weather state.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a computer program for causing a computer to execute a process for providing information to a mobile terminal, the computer program causing the computer to execute:

• sequentially acquiring dynamic information including location information of the mobile terminal and weather information of an area where the mobile terminal is located;
• acquiring static information including hazard map information indicating a predicted area where occurrence of a weather disaster in an assumed weather state is predicted, the assumed weather state being a weather state in which the occurrence of the weather disaster is predicted;
• setting a dangerous area in the predicted area based on the dynamic information and the static information, the dangerous area being an area where an user of the mobile terminal is likely to be at risk;
• and
• transmitting information on the dangerous area to the mobile terminal, wherein
• in the setting, the dangerous area is set before a weather state indicated by the sequentially acquired information becomes the assumed weather state.
