Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the following description and the accompanying drawings, substantially the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description will be omitted. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

1 shows a configuration of an emergency call system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The emergency call system according to the present embodiment is provided with a plurality of emergency call devices 100_1, 2, ... installed in the vicinity of a traffic passage, a portable terminal 200_1 of the user 210_1, A control server 310, a beacon-position information database 320, and the like.

Fig. 2 shows the configuration of each of the emergency calling apparatuses 100_1, 2, ... in Fig. The emergency calling apparatus 100 includes a beacon 110 and a VoIP terminal 120 and the VoIP terminal 120 includes a microphone 121 and a speaker 122.

The emergency calling apparatus 100 periodically broadcasts a beacon signal including the corresponding beacon identification information via the beacon 110. [ Broadcasting of the beacon signal can use short-range wireless communication. As the short-range wireless communication method, for example, Bluetooth, Bluetooth low energy (BLE), Zigbee and the like can be used.

The mobile terminal 200_1 includes a mobile terminal having a mobile operating system that can be carried by the user 210_1, a terminal capable of being connected to the Internet and capable of installing various applications (application programs) Tablet PCs and the like.

The mobile terminal 200_1 is provided with an emergency calling application for providing an emergency calling service according to an embodiment of the present invention. Since the application installed in the mobile terminal 200_1 substantially controls the mobile terminal 200_1 by executing various functions provided by the mobile terminal 200_1, the operation of the mobile terminal 200_1, It can be understood as an operation of the application, and the operation of the emergency call application can be understood as the operation of the portable terminal 200_1.

Since the emergency calling apparatus 100 broadcasts the beacon signal using the short-range wireless communication, the emergency calling apparatus 100 has coverage that the portable terminal 200_1 can receive the beacon signal. For example, in the case of Bluetooth or low-power Bluetooth, the coverage is about 50 m from the emergency calling apparatus 100. This coverage can be increased or decreased in accordance with the transmission power of the beacon 110. Therefore, for example, as shown in the drawing, the portable terminal 200_1 within a radius of about 50 m from the emergency calling apparatus 100_1 can receive a beacon signal from the emergency calling apparatus 100_1.

When the beacon signal is received, the emergency calling application of the portable terminal 200_1 outputs a display indicating that the beacon signal is received through the screen. At this time, together with a display indicating that the beacon signal is received, a button for inputting the emergency call command from the user 210_1 can be output together.

FIG. 3A shows an example of a display 220 on which a beacon signal is received and a button 230 for inputting an emergency call command on the screen of the mobile terminal 200_1. The display 220 and the button 230 may be displayed on a part of the screen in a state in which a screen already displayed on the portable terminal 200_1 (e.g., a main screen or a screen of another application) is displayed. For example, the display 220 and the button 230 may be displayed in a pop-up form on a part of the screen of the mobile terminal 200_1.

In some embodiments, the emergency call command may be received (or alternatively) via the button 230 output on the screen, received via the specific push pattern of the button provided in the mobile terminal 200_1, It can also be input through a specific input pattern on the lock screen.

For example, in many cases, the portable terminal 200_1 is in a standby state in which the screen is not turned on, so that when the volume button or the home button is pressed quickly five times in the standby state, it can be recognized as an emergency call command.

Alternatively, the portable terminal 200_1 typically provides a lockout password input screen or an unlock pattern input screen on the lock screen, sets a specific number column or a specific pattern for the emergency call command, A specific number column may be inputted or an emergency call command may be recognized if a specific pattern is input on the unlock pattern input screen.

The safety distance that users can feel from conventional CCTV is only 15m, which is the visibility distance for CCTV. However, according to the embodiment of the present invention, when the emergency calling apparatus 100 is within about 50m from the user 210_1, for example, the user 210_1 can know that the emergency calling apparatus 100 exists in the vicinity, The safe distance extends to a radius of about 50m. In addition, about 1/15 of the cost of installing one CCTV can be installed in one beacon, which can greatly reduce the cost.

The intensity of the beacon signal received by the portable terminal 200_1 varies depending on the distance from the emergency call apparatus 100. Generally, as the distance increases, the intensity of the signal becomes weaker. Therefore, the distance from the emergency call apparatus 100 is estimated . Thus, the emergency calling application can output an indication corresponding to the intensity of the beacon signal when outputting an indication that the beacon signal is received. For example, as shown in FIG. 3B, the display 220 may be different according to the intensity of the beacon signal. Further, the emergency calling application may calculate the distance from the beacon signal strength to the emergency calling apparatus 100 (the distance from the emergency calling apparatus of the strongest signal when a signal is received from more than one emergency calling apparatus) have.

The user 210_1 touches (or double-touches or slide-touches) the button 230 displayed on the screen of the portable terminal 200_1 or displays a button provided on the portable terminal 200_1 You can enter an emergency call command by pressing a specific number of times quickly, or by entering a specific number column or a specific pattern on the lock screen. When the emergency call command is input, the emergency calling application transmits an emergency call signal including the received beacon identification information to the control server 310 of the control center 300 through a wireless communication network (e.g., 3G network, 4G network) .

The emergency call application can receive the emergency call command from the user 210_1 by providing the above described input methods for the emergency call button or the emergency call command even if the beacon signal is not received. When the emergency call command is input when the beacon signal is not received, the emergency calling application transmits an emergency call signal including position information basically grasped by the portable terminal 200_1, for example, To the server (310).

The beacon-position information database 320 stores beacon identification information of the emergency calling apparatuses 100_1, 2, ... and position information of the emergency calling apparatus. When the emergency call signal including the beacon identification information is received from the portable terminal 200, the control server 310 inquires the received beacon identification information from the beacon-position information database 320 to determine whether the user of the portable terminal 200_1 210_1 can be grasped. If the coverage of the beacon is 50 m in radius, the positioning accuracy can also be located very precisely at a radius of 50 m.

When the location information basically recognized in the portable terminal 200_1 is received from the portable terminal 200_1, the control server 310 can determine the location of the user 210_1 of the portable terminal 200_1 with this location information. However, in general, the error of the position information detected through the GPS or the base station is relatively large and in some cases, the error may increase to 200 ~ 300m in a dense area such as a building. Therefore, when the beacon identification information is received from the portable terminal 200_1, the control server 310 can more accurately grasp the position of the user 210_1 using the beacon identification information.

According to the embodiment, when the emergency calling application transmits the location information recognized by the portable terminal 200_1 to the control server 310 because the beacon signal is not received, the emergency calling application transmits the beacon identification information received within a predetermined time (e.g., 10 minutes) And stores the beacon identification information and the reception time together with the emergency call signal.

By doing so, the control server 310 determines the position of the user 210_1 by using the position information at the reception time point of the beacon signal, which is grasped by using the beacon identification information and the position information detected at the mobile terminal 200_1 at the time of the emergency call It is possible to grasp accurately. For example, if the position information detected by the portable terminal 200_1 is very distant from the position immediately before receiving the beacon signal, the position of the user 210_1 can be accurately estimated by considering the position and the elapsed time of receiving the beacon signal You can do it.

The control server 310 controls the control monitor 350 so that the controller 350 can confirm the position of the user 210_1 that has been grasped by using the beacon identification information included in the emergency call signal or the position information of the mobile terminal 200_1 . Then, the control agent 350 may take measures such as dispatching the police or the nearest personnel from the location of the user 210_1.

Also, the emergency calling application can display the location where the emergency call devices 100_1, 2, ... are installed and the coverage of the beacon on the electronic map. The user 210_1 (particularly in the case of a woman, a senior citizen or a late-night walker) confirms the position and coverage of the emergency calling apparatuses 100_1, 2, ... on the electronic map, ...) By choosing the route around you, you will be able to travel on a more relaxed route.

Furthermore, the emergency call application may recommend a route that overlaps most with the coverage of each emergency call device among a plurality of possible routes, when providing the route from a specific origin to a specific destination on an electronic map.

2, each emergency call apparatus 100 includes a VoIP terminal 120 having a microphone 121 and a speaker 122. The VoIP terminal 120 is connected to the control center 300 The control server 310 and the control terminal 340 are connected to each other.

When the emergency call button is provided, the emergency call button (not shown) may be installed in the emergency call apparatus 100. When the emergency call button is provided, the user 210_1 presses the emergency call button and transmits the emergency call button to the VoIP terminal 120, The controller 350 of the control unit 350 of FIG.

However, even if the emergency call button is provided, the emergency call button will not be easily pressed unless the emergency call is in an emergency state and the user 210_1 is not next to the emergency call device 100. [

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the emergency call signal is received from the portable terminal 200_1, the control server 310 transmits the beacon identification information of the emergency calling apparatus 100_1 to the VoIP terminal 120_1 And the sound of the emergency agent 100_1 collected through the microphone 121 is transmitted to the control server 310 through the speaker 122. The voice of the emergency call device 100_1, Lt; / RTI >

Therefore, the user 210_1 can communicate with the control agent 350 of the control center 300 without pressing the emergency call button of the emergency call apparatus 100_1. Further, the control agent 350 can recognize the emergency situation more quickly and accurately by listening to the sound around the emergency calling apparatus 100_1 collected through the microphone 121, and can receive a warning notice or a warning through the speaker 122 By outputting the venting message, it is possible to minimize the damage by giving a warning to the criminal or the potential criminal, and to induce the surrounding third party to help the user 210_1.

Meanwhile, in order for the emergency call apparatus 100 to properly perform the above-mentioned role, the VoIP terminal 120 and the VoIP network must always operate normally. Therefore, in order to check the VoIP terminal 120 and the VoIP network, the control server 310 transmits a predetermined sound to the VoIP terminal 120 to perform a loop test for checking whether howling occurs through the speaker 122 and the microphone 121 Can be performed. The occurrence of howling means that both the VoIP terminal 120 and the VoIP network operate normally. At this time, an echo filter can be used to prevent excessive amplification of howling. At the time of such a loop test, voice guidance or music broadcast may be outputted as a sound to be outputted through the speaker 122, so that inspection and broadcasting service provision can be achieved at the same time.

4 is a diagram illustrating an extended embodiment of the emergency call system of FIG. 1 described above. The portable terminal 200_1 of the user 210_1 that receives the beacon signal from the first emergency calling apparatus 100_1 and transmits the emergency call signal to the control server 310 The second to fifth portable terminals 200_2 to 5 of the second to fifth users 210_2 to 5 appear in addition to the first to fifth portable terminals 200_1 to 200_2, 200_2 ~ 5) also have an emergency call application.

First, the first user 210_1 (the second to fifth users 210_2 to 5) may register their profile information in advance in the control server 310 through the emergency calling application . For example, the profile information may include a photograph, a gender, an age (or age range), a job, a contact, an address, an emergency contact, and the like. In a case where an emergency occurs as described later, a part or all of the registered profile information may be provided to a third party satisfying a certain requirement. The first user 210_1 transmits profile information to be provided to a third party Can be set in advance. For example, it is possible to set all of the profile information to be provided, to provide only photographs, sex, and age, or to provide only sex and age.

In addition, the control server 310 may control the users who use the emergency call application according to the user's selection, the user's job, sex, age, etc., so-called 'user who can help in the emergency situation of the other person' The user should be avoided in the event of an emergency situation. Hereinafter, the former will be referred to as a first type, and the latter as a second type. Basically, this distinction can be made based on your own choices. To this end, the emergency calling application may allow the user to select 'whether to provide assistance in the event of an emergency of another person', or 'to avoid it in the field in case of emergency of another person' when the user information is input. Typically, adult males are more likely to choose the former and younger females have the latter. In the case of a user who does not select either of them, the control server 310 can distinguish between the first type and the second type based on the profile information such as the sex or age of the user. For example, the first type can be classified as an adult male, and the second type can be classified as a youth or a woman. Also, it can be classified based on the occupation or the status of the user. For example, if the user is a police officer or a public official, the user can be classified into the first type without any choice.

Referring to FIG. 4, as described above, the first user 210_1 transmits an emergency call signal to the control server 310 through the first portable terminal 200_1 within the coverage of the first emergency call device 100_1 The second user 210_2 and the third user 210_3 are within the coverage of the first emergency calling apparatus 100_1 and the fourth user 210_4 is within the coverage of the first emergency calling apparatus 100_1, And the fifth user 210_5 is outside the coverage of the first and second emergency calling apparatuses 100_1 and 2, respectively.

In addition, the second user 210_2 in the control server 310 is of the first type, the third user 210_3 is of the second type, the fourth user 210_4 is of the first type as a police or civil servant, 5 The user 210_5 assumes that the job is classified as a first type as a police officer.

The emergency calling application is executed in the background in the mobile terminals 200_1 to 5 and periodically transmits the beacon identification information to the control server 310 while the beacon signal is received from the emergency calling apparatuses 100_1 and 2. Then, the control server 310 can know which user is present in each coverage of the emergency call apparatuses 100_1, 2. In other words, the control server 310 determines that the first to third users 210_1 to 3 are included in the coverage of the first emergency call apparatus 100_1 and the fourth users 210_4 to 210_2 are included in the coverage of the second emergency call apparatus 100_2. ) Is present.

When the emergency call signal is received from the first portable terminal 200_1 of the first user 210_1, the control server 310 transmits the emergency call signal to the second portable terminal 200_2 in the coverage of the first emergency call device 100_1, To the portable terminal 200_3, a message indicating that an emergency has occurred in the vicinity. Then, the emergency calling application of the second portable terminal 200_2 and the third portable terminal 200_3 outputs the corresponding message, so that the second user 210_2 and the third user 210_3 recognize that an emergency situation has occurred in the vicinity can do.

A message indicating that an emergency has occurred in the vicinity may be different depending on whether the user who receives the message is registered as the first type or the second type. For example, in the former case, it is the content which induces the help, while in the latter case it is the content which induces the situation to be avoided.

Also, when the user who receives the message is a first type user, profile information of the first user 210_1 that transmitted the emergency call signal can be provided so as to easily identify who is in an emergency situation . That is, the control server 310 can transmit all or a part of the profile information of the first user 210_1 to the second portable terminal 200_2 of the second user 210_2 registered as the first type. Here, since the second user 210_2 is not a user registered in the first type such as a police or a public official, it can provide only some profile information of the range set by the first user 210_1.

5 shows an example of a screen of the emergency calling application of the second portable terminal 200_2 which has received a message from the control server 310 indicating that an emergency situation has occurred in the vicinity. The control server 310 notifies the second portable terminal 200_2 of the location of the first emergency call device 100_1, the location of the first user 210_1 (when grasped through GPS, etc.) The profile information of the user 210_1 can be transmitted. Then, the emergency calling application of the second portable terminal 200_2 outputs a message informing that there is a person needing assistance in the vicinity, as shown in the figure, and displays on the map the position of the first emergency calling apparatus 100_1, 1 position of the user 210_1, and can display the profile information of the first user 210_1.

6 shows an example of a screen of the emergency calling application of the third portable terminal 200_3 that has received a message from the control server 310 to inform that an emergency situation has occurred in the vicinity. The control server 310 can transmit the location of the first emergency call device 100_1 and the location of the first user 210_1 (when grasped through GPS, etc.) along with the message to the third portable terminal 200_3 have. In the case of the third user 210_3, transmission of the profile information of the first user 210_1 may be omitted since it is registered as a second type of user. The emergency calling application of the third portable terminal 200_3 outputs a message informing that there is a danger factor in the vicinity as shown and displays the location of the first emergency calling apparatus 100_1 or the first emergency calling apparatus 100_1 on the map 210_1 can be displayed.

As described above, the second and third users 210_2 and 3 can not only know that an emergency situation has occurred in the vicinity through the emergency calling applications of their mobile terminals 200_2 and 3, It is possible to grasp the surrounding situation through the microphone 121 and the speaker 122 of the VoIP terminal 120 provided in the first emergency call apparatus 100_1 or to communicate with the control agent 350 of the control center 300 . In addition, even if the user is not the user of the emergency calling application such as the second and third users 210_2 and 3, if someone is near the first emergency calling apparatus 100_1, the VoIP terminal 120_1 provided in the first emergency calling apparatus 100_1 The user can grasp the surrounding situation through the microphone 121 and the speaker 122 of the control center 300 or communicate with the control agent 350 of the control center 300.

In the case of a user registered as a first type of occupation, such as a police or a public official, a message informing that an emergency situation has occurred is provided even if the first emergency call device 100_1 is located outside the coverage area of the first emergency call device 100_1 . For example, in the case of the fourth user 210_4, the control server 310 is within the coverage of the second emergency call apparatus 100_2, which is not within the coverage of the first emergency call apparatus 100_1 but adjacent to the first emergency call apparatus 100_1 The fourth portable terminal 200_4 is informed of the location of the first emergency call device 100_1, the location of the first user 210_1 (when being grasped through GPS, etc.) Profile information of the first user 210_1 can be transmitted. At this time, if the fourth user 210_4 is a police officer or a public official, all of the profile information is transmitted regardless of the range set by the first user 210_1 so that the first user 210_1 can be grasped more quickly, A predetermined portion may be transmitted. Then, the emergency calling application of the fourth portable terminal 200_4 outputs a message indicating " there is a person in need of assistance nearby " as shown in Fig. 5, and the location of the first emergency calling apparatus 100_1 Or the location of the first user 210_1, and may display the profile information of the first user 210_1.

In addition, for example, the fifth user 210_5 is required to act as a police officer at the time of occurrence of an emergency, so that even if the first emergency call device 100_1 and the second emergency call device 100_2 are out of coverage, A message indicating that an emergency situation has occurred may be provided if it is within a certain distance from the terminal 100_1. For example, the control server 310 informs the fifth portable terminal 200_5 of the location of the first emergency call device 100_1, the location of the first user 210_1 (GPS, etc.) ), Profile information of the first user 210_1 can be transmitted. At this time, if the fifth user 210_5 is a police, the first user 210_1 can recognize the first user 210_1 more quickly and cope with the emergency situation quickly, All of the registered profile information can be provided. Then, the emergency calling application of the fifth portable terminal 200_5 outputs a message indicating " there is a person who needs help around, " as shown in Fig. 5, and displays the location of the first emergency calling apparatus 100_1 Or the location of the first user 210_1, and may display the profile information of the first user 210_1.

Meanwhile, after the first user 210_1 transmits the emergency call signal to the control server 310 within the coverage of the first emergency call apparatus 100_1, the first user 210_1 leaves the coverage of the first emergency call apparatus 100_1 For example, when the first user 210_1 enters the coverage of the second emergency call apparatus 100_2, the first portable terminal 200_1 transmits the coverage of the second emergency call apparatus 100_2 And transmits the beacon identification information to the control server 310. The control server 310 establishes a call connection with the VoIP terminal 120 of the second emergency call device 100_2 in the same manner that the control server 310 previously establishes a call connection with the VoIP terminal 120 of the first emergency call device 100_1 The sound of the controller agent 350 is outputted through the speaker 122 in the second emergency call apparatus 100_2 and the sound around the second emergency call apparatus 100_1 collected through the microphone 121 is outputted To be transmitted to the control server 310. In addition, the control server 310 transmits the message informing the emergency situation to the portable terminal of another user in the coverage of the first emergency calling apparatus 100_1 and the profile information of the first user 210_1 (as the case may be) Similarly, it may transmit a message informing the emergency situation of the other user's portable terminal within the coverage of the second emergency call apparatus 100_2 and the profile information of the first user 210_1 (as the case may be).
