Earthquake App, high school students use it to obtain data “Di Niu Wake Up” issued a clarification statement | Aftershocks in Hualien keep shaking | News

--

The “Taiwan Earthquake Early Report” app has become very popular recently. It is amazing that it was created by Lin Ziyou, a senior high school student. The “Diniu Wake Up! Taiwan Earthquake Early Report” team issued a clarification statement through the “Diniu Wake Up” Facebook fan page this afternoon, saying that in the interview, Lin Ziyou mentioned using the “Diniu Wake Up!” software interfaceMeteorological AdministrationRegarding the data, they only learned about it after receiving a concerned call from the Meteorological Administration.

“Di Niu Wake Up” stated that “Di Niu Wake Up!” has officially signed a contract with the Meteorological Administration, but Lin has never obtained the authorization of “Di Niu Wake Up!”. The “Di Niu Wake Up!” software provides the so-called “linkage function”. The original purpose is to hope that users can use this function to perform some automated controls after receiving earthquake alarms, such as turning on and off lights, turning on and off equipment power, and playing sound effects. , gas interruption, etc.

“Diniu Wake Up” means that this function will execute the user-specified program after “Diniu Wake Up!” receives an earthquake alarm. It is usually developed by the user and inputs the “location estimated earthquake intensity” and “seismic wave” “How long it will take to arrive in seconds” are two pieces of data for users to use later.

“Diniu Wake Up” said that it has recently seen users develop various applications through Diniu’s programs, “which makes us very happy”. This makes earthquake warnings no longer just to notify people, but It has been further developed and extended. However, the original idea was to hope that the linkage function would only be used by the users themselves, and it was not envisaged that users would make the above two data (estimated earthquake intensity and seconds) into an App. Released to the public, “This is indeed an error on our part. In the future, we will supplement the user agreement (EULA) to prohibit users from engaging in such behavior.”

“In the early days, we also suffered from the inability to obtain earthquake early warning data due to personal status, and encountered many obstacles in development,” said Diniu Wake Up. Therefore, as a developer, I also strongly support Lin in developing such an app. “We don’t blame Mr. Lin for not obtaining authorization, because there may be no solution.”

“Di Niu Wake Up” stated that the current issuance of earthquake warnings is the exclusive responsibility of the Meteorological Administration and needs to be released to the public by the Meteorological Administration itself or through contracted partners. “Therefore, it is recommended that Mr. Lin sign a contract with the Meteorological Administration as soon as possible.” Those who are interested Individual developers who develop such applications can also sign a contract with the Meteorological Administration to obtain earthquake early warning information (there is now an individual program).
