For example, the behavior pattern information PI may include information about the illumination around the terminal 100 'according to the weather condition when the user of the happiness guardian terminal 100' normally goes to school or disembarks with respect to the illumination state information. It may include. Alternatively, the behavior pattern information PI may be an illuminance around the happiness guard terminal 100 'when the user of the happiness guard terminal 100' has an unusual behavior pattern (for example, when put in a bag or playful). It may include information about.

For example, the behavior pattern information (PI) is the happiness keeper according to the weather conditions when the user of the happy guardian terminal 100 'normally goes to school or dismissal in relation to the temperature / humidity state information. It may include information about. Or, the behavior pattern information (PI) is a happiness guard terminal when the user of the happiness guard terminal 100 'has a unique behavior pattern (for example, temporarily moving to a place having a different temperature / humidity condition at the time of dismissal). 100 ') may include information about ambient temperature and humidity.

For example, the behavior pattern information PI may include information about the happiness protector when the user of the terminal 100 'normally walks or stands in relation to the motion state information. have. Alternatively, the behavior pattern information PI indicates that the happy guard terminal 100 'itself when the user of the happy guard terminal 100' has an unusual behavior pattern (for example, when joking around with the terminal). It may include information about the three-dimensional motion of.

For example, the behavior pattern information PI may include information about words that may occur when the user of the happy guardian terminal 100 'normally goes to or from school in relation to the voice recognition information. Alternatively, the behavior pattern information PI may include information about words when the happiness guardian has an unusual behavior pattern (eg, a friend who frequently uses abusive language) of a user or neighbors of the terminal 100 '.

That is, the controller 110 ′ compares the behavior pattern information PI with the terminal state information (for example, 90% or more similar or 50% or less similar). Based on the comparison result, the risk (eg, relative value based on 100, DA) can be determined. For example, as a result of comparison, as the terminal state information does not match the behavior pattern information PI, the risk DA may be determined to be higher.

Accordingly, the controller 110 ′ may accurately determine whether the user is in danger by comparing the terminal state information with behavior pattern information PI, which is information on a normal or exceptionally safe situation.
