Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an alarm system and an alarm system using real-time image information,

The present invention belongs to the field of mobile technology.

Services have been developed that allow mobile users to report when they are in an emergency by simple operation.

In response to this type of service, which has been serviced by mobile operators in the past, the mobile has identified its location and reported it to pre-registered acquaintances or state agencies in the form of voice / text messages containing it.

In addition, when a mobile user is in an emergency situation, a service has been developed so that the user can recognize the emergency situation by ringing a large alarm sound.

However, according to this conventional technique, misrepresentation by mischievous phone call or erroneous operation resulted in wasting administrative power of the state agency.

Therefore, the national agency changed the operation mode so that the rescue team and the police would be dispatched immediately if it had two or more reports in order to filter the false report.

For this reason, it may be necessary to notify the user of the smartphone as well as additional reports by witnesses so as to confirm whether it is actually an emergency situation or a mis-operation or prank.

Therefore, when a smartphone user is in a crisis, there is a need to allow a smartphone user registered in advance to check the current status of a smartphone user in real time.

However, there is a problem that privacy is infringed when the personal information of a smartphone user is disclosed to an acquaintance registered in advance.

In the past, a service that tracks the location of mobile users and notifies their caregivers has been developed. However, this privacy breach has caused the company to be banned from the market.
