Original Abstract Submitted
An earthquake detection method is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a first signal and at least a second signal, wherein the first signal is triggered in response to a first vibration state of a main detection site, and the at least a second signal is triggered in response to at least a second vibration state of at least a backup detection site; determining whether a quantity of those being enabled among the at least a second signal satisfies a quantity ratio condition, and determining whether the first signal and the quantity of the at least a second signal are both enabled at a specific time point, wherein the first and the quantity of the at least a second signals respectively have a first and at least a second initial enabled time points; and determining there is a real earthquake event when an interval between the first and the at least a second signal satisfies a time relationship.
