Claim One:
1. A method of determining earthquake parameters for an earthquake, said method comprising: inputting a seismogram of the earthquake at an interface for inputting the seismogram, the seismogram including earthquake waveforms; searching concurrently, with a search engine that includes a processor, in pre-established historical seismogram database and theoretical seismogram database by use of an approximate nearest neighbor search method with waveform matching, to find a set of seismograms similar to the input seismogram according to a preset similarity condition, wherein the historical seismogram database stores seismograms of real earthquakes, and the theoretical seismogram database stores seismograms theoretically calculated; and determining, by the processor, from the set of similar seismograms, one or more seismograms matched with the input seismogram, and determining, by the processor, the earthquake parameters from the matched seismograms.
