1 is a configuration diagram of a communication network construction system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the communication network establishment system may include a network construction server 100, at least one victim terminal 110 (hereinafter referred to as a victim terminal), and at least one rescue terminal 120 (hereinafter rescue terminal). However, the communication network establishing system of FIG. 1 is only one embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to FIG. 1 and may be configured differently from FIG. 1 according to various embodiments of the present invention .

When a disaster occurs, the network construction server 100 may transmit a message to the at least one mobile terminal located in the disaster area to notify the occurrence of a disaster situation.

For example, when a disaster situation occurs, the network construction server 100 transmits a message informing the occurrence of a disaster situation to at least one victim terminal 110 or rescue terminal 120 connected to the base station in the disaster area It can inform the disaster situation by sending. Here, the disaster area refers to the type of disaster (eg typhoon, flood, tsunami, heavy snowfall, earthquake landslide, fire, collapse, explosion, wildfire, etc.) or personality (eg natural disaster or man-made disaster) Can be determined. For example, in the case of forest fires, up to a 1-kilometer radius based on the mountain may be in the disaster area. Also, in the case of a typhoon, a specific city or province may correspond to a disaster area.

The network construction server 100 may receive the identification information of the mobile terminal and the current location information from the at least one victim terminal 110 and the rescue terminal 120. [ Here, the identification information may include a telephone number of the victim terminal 110 and the rescuer terminal 120, and an identifier indicating a victim or a rescuer.

The network construction server 100 can generate a temporary contact based on the received identification information and the current location information.

Specifically, the network construction server 100 can group at least one terminal 110 and 120 into a victim group and a rescuer group based on an identifier indicating a victim or a rescuer. Also, the network construction server 100 may generate a temporary contact including the phone number and location information of at least one victim terminal 110 or the rescue terminal 120 that has grouped.

The network construction server 100 may transmit the created temporary contact to at least one victim terminal 110 and the rescue terminal 120. [

When the network construction server 100 receives the updated location information from the at least one victim terminal 110 and the rescuer terminal 120, the network construction server 100 updates the temporary contact information based on the updated location information, And the resterator terminal 120 as shown in FIG.

The network construction server 100 may provide a communication network between the at least one victim terminal 110 and the rescue terminal 120 based on the temporary contact. The network construction server 100 may provide at least one of the group call, the group chat, and the map service to the victim terminal 110 and the rescuer terminal 120 through the communication network.

The temporary contact sending unit 230 may periodically update the location information of the mobile terminal and retransmit the updated temporary contact information to the mobile terminals.

Communication network provider 240 may provide a communication network between at least one mobile terminal based on temporary contacts. For example, the communication network providing unit 240 may provide the mobile terminals with a map service indicating the location of the mobile terminals. In addition, the communication network providing unit 240 may provide a group call or a group chat room to mobile terminals via a communication network. In addition, the communication network provider 240 can provide information on disaster situations, evacuation routes, and the like through the communication network.

If a mobile terminal located in the disaster area is out of the disaster area, the message transmitter 200 may transmit a message informing the mobile terminal of the end of the disaster situation. In addition, when the disaster situation ends, the message transmission unit 200 can transmit a message informing the at least one mobile terminal of the end of the disaster situation.

The database unit 250 stores data to be input and output between each component in the network construction server 100 and inputs and outputs data between components outside the network construction server 100 and the network construction server 100. [ Quot; For example, the database unit 250 may store identification information and location information received from at least one mobile terminal. In addition, the database unit 250 may store the temporary contacts generated by the temporary contact generation unit 220. One example of such a database unit 250 includes a hard disk drive, a ROM (Read Only Memory), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a flash memory, a memory card, and the like existing in the network building server 100 or the like.

Those skilled in the art will understand that the message transmission unit 200, the reception unit 210, the temporary contact generation unit 220, the temporary contact transmission unit 230, the communication network provision unit 240 and the database unit 250 are separated It will be appreciated that one or more of these may be implemented or integrated.
