BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a mobile phone, and more particularly to a mobile phone having a crime prevention function.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, malicious crimes such as stalker, molester, snatching, and burglary have increased, and the deterioration of security has become a social problem. Under such circumstances, various products for anti-crime measures and anti-pervert measures are considered, and many anti-crime products are actually sold. For example, crime prevention products such as alarm bells and tear sprays have been sold.
[0003]
Such a conventional crime prevention product should be used when a user is actually involved in an incident, or when a considerably dangerous situation is approached. When used in such a situation, these products are very effective.
[0004]
Although the situation is not so dangerous, anxiety about personal danger may occur when a suspicious person approaches from behind at night or when a nearby person is suspicious. Also, walking alone at night is uneasy. In such cases, a mobile phone may be used as a simple crime prevention measure.
[0005]
In recent years, mobile phones have become widespread and widely used by many people. For example, when a woman goes home on an unpopular road late at night, she can be alerted to someone who is trying to commit a crime by walking while calling someone on the mobile phone.
[0006]
In addition, when a nearby person feels that he is trying to harm himself, he can intimidate the other party by calling someone with his mobile phone and talking naturally about his location. Unlike conventional crime prevention products such as alarm bells and tear sprays, this method can be used easily because there is no problem even if the other party is not willing to do harm.
[0007]
A mobile phone has a function of making a call to a desired destination with a single touch. This function may be used for security measures. For example, a user of a mobile phone can be prepared in advance to be able to call the police immediately when walking on an unpopular road. If the actual situation becomes dangerous, the user can call the police or the like by operating one button.
[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The user needs to carry it at all times so that it can be used immediately in case of an emergency when it is unknown. However, conventional security products such as alarm bells and tear sprays are not frequently used due to their nature. For this reason, it is difficult for the user to feel the necessity of carrying security products, and it is often not carried with time.
[0009]
Moreover, in the crime prevention measures by making a phone call with a mobile phone, in an already dangerous situation, the action to try to make a call may cause the other party to be turned upside down, which may worsen the situation. On the other hand, it may not be enough to report to the police or the like, and it is difficult to determine whether or not to report.
