KR20010018493A - Emergency Call Sending Method in Terminal - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE: A method for originating urgent call in a terminal is provided to use a specific key set up as an abbreviated dial and to use an urgent call originating key, to perform a call connecting process when a user is in an emergency or needs help, so as to quickly notify a present situation of the user. CONSTITUTION: A user presses a specific key set up for an urgent call origination for seconds(S31). If a terminal senses the specific key inputting, the terminal originates a call to other base station corresponding to an urgent phone number prestored by the user(S32). The terminal decides whether the other base station senses the originated call(S33). If a call connection fails, the terminal automatically reattempts the call connection, by considering the time when a continuous call attempt is requested according to variable situations of the user(S34). If the call connection is successful, the user starts originating a prestored speech over one time, by using a voice or a message(S35). The speech is prestored for the time when the user is in the various situations. The terminal decides whether the originating is completed(S36). If so, the terminal decides whether an 'end' key is pressed in a key input circuit, to decide whether the call connection has to be completed or maintained(S37). If the user does not press the 'end' key, the terminal maintains the call connection(S38). If the 'end' key is pressed, the terminal completes the call connection and returns to a general call standby state(S39).

Description

Emergency Call Sending Method in Terminal

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a terminal, and more particularly, to a method for making an emergency call in a terminal so that a quick and simple call transmission can be made according to a user's variable situation.

In general, in the emergency call connection method using a conventional terminal, at least one or more emergency telephone numbers are first registered in the address list of the user terminal.

The phone number stored in the emergency phone number address list of such a terminal can be connected to a call with a counterpart, unlike a general phone number, even if the user has set the terminal to lock.

1 is a flow chart illustrating a general emergency call using method using a conventional terminal.

Referring to FIG. 1, first, a user searches for a phone number to call in a phone number list to make a call (S11).

Then, the user presses the one-touch input key in the key input unit to make a call to the retrieved telephone number (S12). At this time, the terminal quickly determines whether the lock function is set as the user presses the input key (S13).

If the lock function is not set, it is possible to make a call to the inputted phone number like a normal phone or an emergency phone (S16).

However, if the lock function is set, it is determined whether the telephone number entered by the user is an emergency telephone number (S14). If, in case of an emergency call, the call can be carried out regardless of the locking function (S16).

However, if it is not an emergency call, a message for inputting the user password is displayed on the LCD, and the user detects the input password and determines whether the user inputs the password correctly (S15). Accordingly, if the password is correctly entered, the normal call origination process is normally performed, and if the password is incorrect, a message indicating that the password is wrong is displayed on the LCD and the call is terminated (S17).

However, such a conventional emergency call method of the terminal, when the user is in an emergency situation, because the emergency call call method using the terminal performs a call connection process only after an unnecessary step, the current situation of the current user quickly It is difficult to convey.

In addition, even if the call connection is successful, if the other party does not receive the call, the call is terminated immediately, and therefore, the situation is urgent to the other party because it increases the trouble of performing the call connection again from the first step. If you need to be informed that there was a disadvantage that can not be quickly connected.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for making an emergency call in a terminal so that a user can make a quick and simple call transmission according to a variable situation of a user.

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, the step of sending an emergency call, if the calling call is connected, sending an emergency message, and after the completion of the emergency message transmission, the call termination key input of the user Waiting for a connection state is made.

Preferably, when the call originating connection fails, reconnection is automatically performed.

In addition, the emergency message is a voice message or text data previously stored by the user.

Figure 2 is a view for explaining the call origination when the specific key for emergency call transmission according to the present invention.

Figure 3 is a flow chart for explaining the emergency call announcement method according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The present invention has been improved so that the emergency call transmission method, which is one of additional service functions provided by the terminal, can be performed more quickly and faster than before.

Emergency phone call method using such a terminal uses a specific key set as a speed dial as in a landline telephone and uses a specific key for emergency call call when the user is in an emergency situation or needs other help. It can be used to quickly and easily communicate the current situation by performing a call connection process.

2 is a diagram illustrating a call origination when an emergency call origination specific key is input according to the present invention.

Figure 2 shows the operation of performing a quick call connection to the emergency station emergency room using the specific key for emergency call.

In other words, by pressing an input key set as a specific key for emergency phone call to the key input unit of the terminal using a terminal (cellular, PCS) commonly used by users, the call is quickly sent to the 119 paramedic emergency room.

The emergency call call specific key may selectively store a plurality or more of the corresponding phone numbers for the user to quickly contact in an emergency situation.

Therefore, when an emergency situation occurs, pressing a specific key such as one-touch quickly performs a call connection to the corresponding phone number.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a method for transmitting emergency call announcements according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, first, a user presses a specific key set for emergency call transmission from the key input unit for several seconds (S31).

The terminal detecting the specific key input for emergency call transmission of the user sends a call to the counterpart base station corresponding to the designated emergency telephone number previously stored by the user (S32).

The terminal determines whether the call is connected or not whether the originating call is detected by the counterpart base station (S33).

If the call connection fails, the call connection is not terminated and the call connection is automatically retried in consideration of the case where a continuous call connection attempt is required according to the user's variable situation (S34).

On the other hand, if the call is successful, the user starts to send the stored message at least once by using a voice or a message in case the user is in a variable situation (S35).

After the terminal determines whether the call is completed (S36), if the call is completed, the user presses an end key for terminating the call connection in the key input unit to determine whether to terminate or continue the call connection. It is determined whether or not (S37).

At this time, if the user has not pressed the call connection termination input key, the call connection is continued (S38).

If the user presses an input key for call termination, the call connection is terminated and returns to the normal call waiting state (S39).

According to the present invention as mentioned above, in general, the emergency call in the terminal until now has been applied only in the sense of the general call connection degree when the lock function is released, which does not ask for a password only when the lock function is set. When using a call origination method using a specific key for emergency call according to the present invention, the call connection can be attempted automatically by one-touch dial in any situation that is not in progress, as well as automatically reconnecting when a call fails. In this case, the user is in an emergency situation, so he can deliver a comment to the other party for help.

Accordingly, even in an emergency such as a robbery, one-touch dial can safely connect a call to a desired party and effectively notify the user of the emergency.
