5 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the mobile terminal 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention. According to the embodiment of FIG. 5 , the mobile terminal 100 further includes a camera 160 and a sensor unit 170 .

The camera 160 is a component for taking a picture or video according to the user's control, or for connecting a video call with a reporting organization. The mobile terminal 100 may include a plurality of cameras 160 according to its implementation form.

The sensor unit 170 is a component including sensors for detecting the state of the mobile terminal 100 and environmental information of the accident location and the user's physical state, and includes an azimuth sensor, a tilt sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, a distance measurement sensor, and a temperature. / May include various sensors, such as a humidity sensor, an illuminance sensor, a pressure sensor, and a heart rate sensor.

The processor 140 may determine the direction in which the camera 160 of the mobile terminal 100 faces based on the value sensed by the sensor unit 170 . For example, if the sensor unit 170 is a geomagnetic sensor, the processor 140 may calculate a pitch angle, a roll angle, a yaw angle, etc. of the mobile terminal 100 based on the sensor output value. The processor 140 may know the direction the camera of the mobile terminal 100 is facing based on the calculated value.

According to the embodiment, when the accident location marker 22 is provided, the processor 140 activates the camera when the application is executed, estimates that the accident has occurred at a distance set in advance in the direction the camera is facing, and at this point Markers can also be displayed. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and it may be designed to estimate the accident location in the direction toward which the upper end of the mobile terminal 100 faces rather than the direction of the camera.

On the other hand, in an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal 100 measures the surrounding state information such as temperature, humidity, illuminance, atmospheric pressure, space scale, etc. of the current location or accident point or receives it from an external server, and provides it to the reporting organization You may.

6 is a view for explaining an example of the configuration of the report screen 61 of the mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

If the environmental status information of the point where the reporter is located or the accident point can be obtained and provided to the reporting agency, the current status of the reporter and the status of the accident point can be predicted. For example, if the indoor illuminance value can be determined through the illuminance sensor, it is possible to determine whether the reporter is located in a space where the light is turned off based on the measured value. In addition, if the temperature or relative humidity at the accident site can be determined through the temperature and humidity sensor, the temperature difference with the surrounding environment can be predicted based on the measured value, and the report can be used to determine whether the reporter is in a low-temperature state such as a freezer or a furnace, etc. It can also determine whether it is in a high temperature state.

To this end, in the embodiment of FIG. 6 , the report screen 61 includes an environment information display area 63 in which environment information about the current location is displayed. In this case, the sensor unit 170 may include a temperature measuring sensor, a humidity measuring sensor, an illuminance measuring sensor, and the like. When the sensor unit 170 measures environmental conditions such as temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and illuminance of the place where the mobile terminal 100 is located, the processor 140 reports the sensed value to the environment information display area of the screen 61 ( 63), the display unit 110 may be controlled. The processor 140 may include the measured value in the report message and transmit it to the emergency reporting organization according to the user's report command.

There is no need for the mobile terminal 100 to measure all environmental state information, and information received from an external sensor or server may be used. For example, it is possible to receive temperature, humidity, and illuminance information from a management server of a building in which the user is located, or to check temperature, humidity, illuminance information, etc. of a corresponding area from various web servers through the Internet.

If the distance between the current location acquired through the GPS unit 150 and the accident location acquired according to user designation is more than a preset range, the processor 140 transmits environmental information of the address corresponding to the accident location to an external server It may be provided from and displayed on the environment information display area 63 . The environmental state information of the accident location provided in this way may be displayed together with the environmental state information of the current location measured through the sensor unit 170 or may be displayed alone.

In addition, if the spatial scale of the accident location can be grasped in advance, it is possible to effectively carry out rescue activities by calculating in advance the input manpower and material resources suitable for the spatial scale. For example, if the reporter is buried in an accident, it is possible to know that the reporter is stuck in a narrow space by understanding the size of the space, can respond effectively. Accordingly, in an embodiment of the present invention, the processor 140 may measure the spatial scale by using Augmented Reality (AR) technology - for example, Google's AR Core technology currently known. In an embodiment, the processor 140 may activate the camera unit 160 while displaying the map, and when an image or video around the accident location is detected and/or acquired by the camera unit 160, AR Techniques can be used to measure the scale of a space. The measured spatial scale value may be included in the report message. Alternatively, when it is determined that the mobile terminal 100 is located in a building, it is also possible to receive a structural diagram recorded for the corresponding building from an external server and determine the spatial structure or size based on the structural diagram.

On the other hand, if the reporter is in a building with more than two floors or is in a mountain, or is buried in a narrow space, the reporter may not be able to determine the number of floors or altitude on which he is located. Therefore, if the altitude of the place where the reporter is located can be automatically determined, it is possible to specify the location more accurately and quickly. Accordingly, in an embodiment of the present invention, the sensor unit 170 may include an air pressure sensor. When the sensor unit 170 measures the barometric pressure of the current location of the mobile terminal 100, the processor 140 utilizes the sea level pressure information provided from the external server, for example, using the Android API platform, the measured air pressure and sea level pressure. Calculates and outputs the elevation in meters (m) as a parameter. In this case, the processor 140 may receive and utilize the observation data of the Korea Meteorological Administration for sea level pressure. Here, altitude includes both above and below ground. The calculated elevation value may be included in the notification message.

In FIG. 5 , the mobile terminal 100 itself has been illustrated and described as including all of the sensor unit 170 , but at least some of the sensors of the sensor unit 170 may be provided separately from the mobile terminal 100 . For example, when the user is wearing a wearable device capable of measuring the user's biometric information, such as a smart watch or smart clothing, in addition to the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention, various body states measured by the wearable device The information may be linked with the mobile terminal 100 . In this case, the processor 140 receives the value measured by the wearable device through the communication unit 130 , controls the display unit 110 to display it on the body state information display area 73 , and reports the measured value. In addition, according to the user's report order, it can be transmitted to an emergency reporting agency.

In another embodiment of the present invention, when the application is executed, the processor 140 displays a map, searches for at least one reporting agency in the nearest distance based on the current location of the mobile terminal 100, and searches for at least one The display unit 110 may be controlled to display the nearest reporting organization of . In this case, at least one of the distance between the current location of the mobile terminal 100 and the corresponding institution, the operating hours of the corresponding institution, the subject of treatment, and the representative phone number may be displayed together. In this way, the user can select an individual reporting agency based on the recommended information, and can also contact that agency directly.
