1 is a view for explaining an accident reporting method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

According to FIG. 1, when a user witnesses an accident site, the user may report an accident through the mobile terminal 100. The mobile terminal 100 displays a map, and also displays a marker indicating the location of the reporter and the location of the accident on the map. If it is determined that the location of the marker is not correct, the user can operate the location of the marker to move on the map. When the operation is completed, the mobile terminal 100 specifies the location of the reporter and the location of the accident according to the location of the final marker, and then transmits the generated report message including the address information to the emergency report organization 200. The emergency reporting organization 200 refers to an organization that receives an accident report and takes corresponding measures. For example, it includes accident response organizations such as police station, district corps, police box, security center, fire station, 119 safety center, and 119 rescue team.

The report message may be transmitted to a representative number (112, 119, etc.) that receives and relays an emergency report. Currently, when a report is filed with the representative number of each agency, the agency automatically extracts the nearest agency based on the area where the accident occurred and receives the report. On the other hand, the report message may be transmitted to a direct number of an organization that is actually located nearby.

The report message may be created and transmitted in various forms such as SMS, MMS, SNS, chat message, and email. Contact information for the emergency reporting agency 200, that is, a phone number, a messenger ID, an IP address, an e-mail address, and the like may be previously stored in the mobile terminal 100. The mobile terminal 100 may update and store such information from time to time or periodically.
