Therefore, the protection of personal information can be guaranteed.

The agency server 300 receives an emergency occurrence alarm from the user terminal 200 . In this case, the institution server 300 may request the user terminal 200 to confirm the emergency situation. When the confirmation response to the emergency confirmation request is not received, the agency server 300 notifies the emergency dispatch so that rescue workers are dispatched. Here, the rescue personnel may include at least one of a police officer, a firefighter, and a medical team.

For example, the agency server 300 may be a server of a service provider operating the wearable emergency alarm system 10 . In this case, the institution server 300 may alert the emergency dispatch to a server of an institution capable of performing an emergency alarm action, such as a police station, a fire department, or a hospital. As another example, the agency server 300 may be a server of a police station, a fire station, or a hospital. In this case, the institution server 300 may alert the rescue personnel of the institution to the emergency dispatch.

When checking an emergency situation from the institution server 300 to the user terminal 200 , the user terminal 200 may use a double password. Here, the user terminal 200 may include a first password for releasing the emergency situation and a second password for deceiving the emergency situation release. That is, when an emergency alarm is transmitted due to a user's mistake, the user may transmit the first password through the user terminal 200 . In addition, in the case of inducing the other party not to notice and at the same time performing an actual alarm, the user may transmit the second password through the user terminal 200 .

Accordingly, in an emergency situation, it is possible to reliably alert the relevant organization of the emergency situation while deceiving the other party to turn their attention. Therefore, the user can calmly and stably respond to emergency situations without panicking.

For example, when the user pulls the main body 101 and separates it from the watch straps 104 and 105, or when the user does not move for a certain period of time, the watch 100 detects an abnormal state and generates an emergency alarm. can be transmitted

Next, the user terminal 200 transmits an emergency occurrence alarm to the institution server 300 (step S613). In this case, the user terminal 200 may acquire its own location information and include it in an emergency occurrence alarm and transmit it.

Optionally, the user terminal 200 may transmit the stored user information together with an emergency occurrence alarm. Here, the user information may include basic information of the watch 100 , health information of the user, body information, emergency contact information, and blood type.

Next, the agency server 300 requests the user terminal 200 to confirm the emergency situation (step S614). In this case, the institution server 300 may request a password for releasing the emergency situation from the user terminal 200 .

Next, the user terminal 200 transmits an acknowledgment to the institution server 300 (step S615). In this case, the user terminal 200 may transmit the password input by the user to the institution server 300 .

Next, the institution server 300 determines whether the emergency is released (step S616). In this case, the institution server 300 may determine whether to release the emergency situation according to whether a password is received from the user terminal 200 within a predetermined time and whether the received password is appropriate.

As a result of the determination in step S616, when the emergency situation is released, the agency server 300 determines whether the normal release is performed (step S617). In this case, the institution server 300 may determine whether the password transmitted from the user terminal 200 is a first password for releasing an emergency from among the pre-registered double passwords.

As a result of the determination in step S617, when the normal release is determined, the institution server 300 requests the watch 100 to stop the alarm via the user terminal 200 (step S618).

Next, the watch 100 releases the emergency alarm (step S618a). The watch 100 may cancel the alarm by determining that the emergency situation has been alarmed regardless of the user's intention.

As a result of the determination in step S616, if the emergency situation is not released, the agency server 300 notifies the emergency dispatch (step S619). For example, when the password is not received from the user terminal 200 within a predetermined time or the password transmitted from the user terminal 200 is incorrect, the agency server 300 may alert an emergency call.

As a result of the determination in step S617, if it is not abnormally released, the process proceeds to step S619 and the agency server 300 notifies the emergency dispatch. That is, when the second password for deception is transmitted from the user terminal 200 , the agency server 300 may alert the emergency dispatch. In this case, the institution server 300 may request to stop the alarm to the watch 100 via the user terminal 200 as in step S618.

Here, when the institution server 300 is a server of a service provider operating the wearable emergency alarm system 10 , the institution server 300 may notify an emergency dispatch to a server of an institution such as a police station, a fire department, or a hospital. In addition, when the agency server 300 is a server of a police station, a fire station, or a hospital, the agency server 300 may alert rescue personnel of the corresponding agency of emergency dispatch.

In this case, the institution server 300 may check the user information transmitted from the user terminal 200 together with an emergency occurrence alarm. That is, the agency server 300 may provide user information to the rescuer for quick action by the rescuer.
