The “Taiwan Earthquake Early Report” app has become very popular recently. It is surprising that it was created by Lin Ziyou, a high school student. The “Diniu Wake Up! Taiwan Earthquake Early Report” team released a clarifying statement this afternoon via the Facebook fan page “Diniu Wake Up”, stating that in the interview, classmate Lin Ziyou mentioned the Using the software community “Diniu Wake Up!” receiving data from the Meteorological Administration, they only found out after receiving a concerned call from the Meteorological Administration.

“Di Niu Wake Up” said that “Di Niu Wake Up!” officially signed a contract with the Meteorological Administration, but Lin never obtained permission for “Di Niu Wake Up!”. The software “Di Niu Wake Up!” » provides what is called the “binding function”. The initial goal is to hope that users can use this function to perform some automated controls after receiving seismic alarms, such as turning lights on and off and switching on. Turn equipment on and off, play sound effects, gas interruption, etc.

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

“Diniu Wake Up” said it has recently seen users developing a variety of applications through Diniu’s programs, “which makes us very happy.” This means that seismic alerts are no longer limited to warning people. the original idea was to hope that the link function would only be used by the user. It was not envisaged that a user would create the two data points above (estimated earthquake intensity and seconds). The application was made public, “Here it is.” This is indeed our mistake. In the future, we will supplement the User Agreement (EULA) to prohibit users from engaging in such behavior.

“At first, we also suffered from the inability to obtain earthquake early warning data due to our personal status and encountered many obstacles in development,” said Diniu Wake Up. Therefore, as a developer, I also strongly support Lin in developing this type of project. an application. “We don’t blame Mr. Lin for not getting permission, because there may be no solution.”

“Di Niu Wake Up” said that the issuance of earthquake warnings is currently the responsibility of the Meteorological Administration and must be made public by the Meteorological Administration itself or through contracted partners. “Therefore, it is recommended that Lin sign a contract with the Meteorological Administration as soon as possible.” Individual developers interested in developing such applications can also sign a contract with the Meteorological Administration to obtain early warning information in the event of an earthquake (there are now individual plans).
