Smartphone earthquake warnings have become a hot topic in China as people swarm to embrace mobile technologies for more timely safety alerts, after a magnitude-5.5 earthquake hit Pingyuan county in Dezhou, Shandong province, on Sunday morning.
In Apple's iOS China app store, for instance, multiple earthquake warning apps now rank among the top three most downloaded free apps.
Meanwhile, Chinese smartphone brands using original or modified Android systems, such as Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo and Vivo, said the function of earthquake warnings is available on their smartphones, and users can directly turn them on, without the need to download an app.
The companies said the earthquake alert is a built-in function, and is a result of coordination with the Institute of Care-Life in Chengdu, Sichuan province, which has developed such a warning system for handsets.
Such a function first became available on Xiaomi's smartphones in June 2021 when the company partnered with the Institute of Care-Life to announce that China's first smartphone earthquake monitoring and warning network was available.
Wang Tun, head of the institute, said traditional earthquake warning networks install seismic monitoring devices, which are spaced about 15 kilometers apart, in earthquake-prone areas, providing warnings to the public several seconds to tens of seconds before potentially destructive seismic waves arrive.
The mobile earthquake monitoring and warning network uses built-in sensors on mobile phones to replace traditional monitoring instruments for detection and warning.
If the phone detects information that it believes may be an earthquake, it will send a message to the warning center server.
The warning center server automatically determines whether an earthquake has occurred based on the information from many phones, and calculates the earthquake warning magnitude, epicenter location and time of occurrence in seconds when it is determined to be a temblor.
The function of earthquake warning on smartphones is available on most smartphones in China, but users may have to manually turn them on, service workers of various phone brands said.
This function was activated for many people in North China on Sunday morning when a magnitude-5.5 earthquake hit Pingyuan county of Dezhou, Shandong province.
They were left surprised and baffled when they saw the news, and "mobile phone earthquake alerts" became a trending topic on various social media platforms.
The earthquake warning function works by taking advantage of the time gap between two types of seismic waves.
Users of iPhones, on the other hand, have to download an earthquake alert app in the app store to use the function, as the built-in function in iPhones isn't hooked with data providers.
