Earthquake predictions provided by specialized organizations!

SoftBank Technology Corp. (President and CEO: Ata Shinichi, headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter referred to as SBT) and Information Systems Corp. (Representative Director: Hirai Michio, headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter referred to as Information Systems) are pleased to announce that they will begin distributing earthquake predictions provided by the Earthquake Analysis Lab, a research institute operated by Information Systems, as an option for the Mobile Perfect® SP GPS-enabled safety confirmation and survey service.

"Mobile Perfect® SP" GPS-enabled safety confirmation and survey service is a BCP-compatible service for smartphones and smart tablets that can be used for free upfront and from a monthly fee of 100 yen (per ID). By being able to grasp the safety confirmation and survey response results that include the user's location information, it is possible to obtain more accurate information.
The earthquake prediction distribution option allows users to check the service, which distributes information on the epicenter and magnitude of earthquakes predicted from the signs of earthquakes analyzed by the Earthquake Analysis Lab, on the Mobile Perfect® SP management screen. This allows managers to make advance preparations based on earthquake prediction information, such as informing employees how to enter safety confirmation information and sending them a safety confirmation access URL, which was previously only possible after an earthquake occurred.
This option is sold with no initial cost and costs 10,000 yen per month per contract.
SBT plans to continue expanding the service features of "Mobile Perfect® SP" to meet customer needs.

• Important Notice
• (1) This optional service from SoftBank Technology Corp. (hereinafter referred to as "the Company") is earthquake prediction information (hereinafter referred to as "Earthquake Prediction Information") provided by Information Systems Corp. (hereinafter referred to as "Information Systems"), which predicts natural phenomena. Earthquake prediction includes elements that are unknown with current scientific technology, and the mechanisms behind the analysis of ionospheric disturbances (VLF/LF), electromagnetic radiation (ULF), and GPS satellite radio waves, which Information Systems uses as the basis for earthquake prediction, and the mechanisms behind earthquake precursors have not yet been fully elucidated scientifically.
• (2) Earthquake forecast information is provided by observing and analyzing ionospheric disturbances (VLF/LF), electromagnetic radiation (ULF), and GPS satellite signals to provide information on the approximate time, location, and scale of earthquakes. Depending on the analysis results, the earthquake forecast information provided may cover a range of time from a few days to a week, or may cover a wide area. In addition, earthquake forecast information once released may be revised due to factors such as subsequent changes in the situation.
• (3) Earthquake forecast information is a prediction of natural phenomena, so there may be discrepancies between the earthquake forecast information and the actual occurrence of an earthquake. There is no guarantee that the earthquake forecast information will be accurate with a high probability, so please use the earthquake forecast information provided by this optional service only as reference information.
• (4) Neither our company nor Information Systems shall bear any responsibility for any issues arising from the provision of earthquake prediction information, such as if the earthquake prediction information does not match the actual occurrence of an earthquake. Please note that even if the earthquake prediction information does not match the actual occurrence of an earthquake, we will not refund any contract fees, information provision fees, etc.
