[0001] MOBILE TERMINAL EQUIPPED WITH URGENT CALL BUTTON [0002]

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal such as a smart phone and a tablet PC having an emergency call button, and more particularly, to a mobile terminal having an emergency call button, To a guardian terminal and an institution server set in advance.

Recently, due to the explosive increase in the number of mobile communication subscribers, the mobile communication terminal has been recognized as a necessity that can be seen around the home nowadays, so that the mobile communication terminal manufacturers are introducing a multi-functional mobile communication terminal with better performance, In other words, telecommunication service providers offer higher level communication services and various additional services.

As a technology for identifying the location of a user through tracking of a source of a mobile communication terminal has been developed in recent communication services, when an emergency occurs in a user, the mobile communication terminal automatically transmits A mobile communication terminal and a mobile communication service having a rescue request function for requesting a judicial authority such as an emergency agency or a police station are being released.

However, due to the disclosure of such technical contents to the public, in the actual situation, there is a problem that the rescue signal is no longer generated because the criminal takes away the user's terminal before or after sending out the emergency signal of the user, Even if the situation is actually recognized, accurate location tracking can not be achieved, and even if the actual location is tracked, there is a problem that it arrives at the site even after the situation is over.

Various research and development have been carried out in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and Korean Patent No. 10-0827709 (hereinafter referred to as 'precedent document') and other documents have been registered and disclosed.

As shown in FIG. 1, the prior document includes a resident requester terminal having an emergency rescue key for an emergency situation of a user; The urgent situation information is received from the rescue requester terminal and a call connection is established between the rescue requester terminal and the rescue terminal. When the emergency rescue information is transmitted from the rescue terminal to the security server, the rescue requester terminal is switched to the call between the rescue requester terminal and the security server, A communication company server for transmitting the resident requester telephone number and the short message information to the resister terminal; A resident terminal for receiving a rescue requester telephone number and short message information of a rescue requester terminal inputted through a communication company server and informing an emergency situation; And a security server connected to the rescue requester terminal through a communication company server and a secondary emergency contact (police, fire department) in a one-directional reception state to enable communication with the rescue requester terminal; .

However, when the mobile communication subscriber can not directly conduct a voice call, an emergency call processing method is performed in which emergency information is transmitted to the emergency contact only through button operation to inform the user of the situation. However, There are many problems that the emergency situation is misdirected in the unwanted situation without knowing oneself. In addition, if a mobile communication subscriber fails to recognize an emergency signal transmitted from a counterpart when an emergency occurs, there is a problem that the reliability of the service is lowered because the mobile communication subscriber can not provide any assistance to the user who wants the structure. In addition, when the user has to send a rescue request signal by decompressing a plurality of buttons, a large number of users are confused and can not normally operate the emergency button when an emergency occurs.
