As shown in FIG. 1, a system for emergency call using a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mobile communication terminal 10, a base station 20, and a switch 30. .

The mobile communication terminal 10 performs wireless communication with the base station 20. The keypad 11, the display unit 12, the signal processor 13, the transceiver 14, and the memory The unit 15 and the control unit 16 are included.

The keypad 11 sets an emergency hot key for automatically making an emergency call, and informs the controller 16 of the input of the emergency hot key by the user.

The display unit 12 performs an operation of driving the display window under the control of the controller 16. In particular, when the emergency hot key is input, the display unit 12 does not drive the display window under the control of the controller 16. .

The signal processor 13 processes a signal applied from a microphone under the control of the controller 16 and outputs a voice signal to a speaker. Particularly, when the emergency hot key is input, the signal processor 13 Do not drive the speaker under control.

The transceiver unit 14 communicates with the base station 20 under the control of the control unit 16. In particular, the base station 20 receives telephone numbers and emergency notification information from the control unit 16. The emergency notification message is converted into an emergency notification message to be transmitted to the base station 20.

The memory unit 15 stores programs and data necessary for the control operation of the control unit 16. In particular, the memory unit 15 reads and calls telephone numbers to be called from the memory unit 15 when the emergency hot key is input. It stores the program and the phone number to call.

The controller 16 checks the input of the emergency shortcut key through the keypad 11 to control the signal processor 13 and the display 12 so that the speaker and the display window are not driven, and the memory 15 Read the telephone numbers to be called from) and applies emergency notification information to the transmission and reception unit 14 to inform that the telephone numbers and the emergency has occurred.

The base station 20 receives the emergency notification message from the mobile communication terminal 10 and confirms the emergency notification information and the telephone numbers to be called, and then each called party corresponding to the corresponding telephone numbers through the switch 30. And receive a call response from each called party and provide a voice service to each called party through the switch 30 informing of an emergency situation.

In addition, the base station 20 confirms the input of the location tracking function key from each called party and provides a location tracking service to each called party. Here, the location tracking service can be largely provided in three ways, and there is a method of determining whether it is in an area serviced by one base station, and as a method of grasping the location information, RTD (Round Trip Delay) Or a pilot phase, and there is a method for processing with the help of a mobile communication network using GPS in a mobile communication terminal, but it should be understood that the present invention can be used in any manner without being limited thereto. do.

An emergency call method using a mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 2.

First, in order to notify the user when the user of the mobile communication terminal 10 is exposed to theft, kidnapping, robbery, etc., which has recently emerged as a social problem, and cannot normally make a call, an emergency treatment element such as a police station may be used. Enter an emergency handling element, such as a police station, that should be called at the time of entering an emergency hotkey to allow an emergency call to be made automatically, or a phone number for someone who is close to you (ie, phone numbers to call in an emergency). The memory unit 15 of the mobile communication terminal 10 is preset. That is, not only one incoming telephone number in an emergency may be included, but also a number of simultaneous calls can be made to a number of people close to the user, including an emergency handling element such as a police station.

When the emergency hot key is input in the mobile communication terminal 10, a voice message indicating an emergency occurrence situation such as "the current situation is an emergency" is set in advance in the voice mailbox of the base station 20 and recorded.

A program for assigning the emergency shortcut key to the keypad 11 of the mobile communication terminal 10 and reading out the telephone numbers to be called when the emergency shortcut key is inputted from the memory unit 15 is called. It is set in the memory unit 15 to perform the initialization operation so that the program can be controlled by the control unit 16 of the mobile communication terminal 10.

Alternatively, when the emergency shortcut key is input at the mobile communication terminal 10, a location tracking function key, for example, '*' for inputting a location tracking service by the choice of each called party is required. The required voice message is set in advance and recorded in the voice mailbox of the base station 20, and is set in advance so that the location tracking service can be provided to each called party when the corresponding location tracking function key is input.

Accordingly, when the user enters an emergency and presses the emergency shortcut key of the keypad 11, the controller 16 of the mobile communication terminal 10 confirms the input of the emergency shortcut key through the keypad 11 (step S1). ).

At this time, the control unit 16 controls the signal processing unit 13 of the mobile communication terminal 10 so as not to notice the on-screen or the speaker that the current call is established, so as not to notice the offender making the emergency. In this case, the speaker is not driven, and at the same time (step S2), the display unit 12 of the mobile communication terminal 10 is controlled to prevent the display window from being driven (step S3).

Then, the control unit 16 reads the telephone numbers to be called in an emergency stored in the memory unit 15 (step S4), so that only the output is possible without the bidirectional call (Call) being established. In order to control the transmission and reception unit 16 of the mobile communication terminal 10 to convert the corresponding phone number to the emergency notification message to be transmitted from the base station 20 with the emergency notification information indicating that an emergency has occurred. In step S5, the emergency notification message is transmitted to the base station 20 (step S6).

Accordingly, the base station 20 receives an emergency notification message from the mobile communication terminal 10 (step S7), and at this time, after confirming the emergency notification information and the telephone numbers to be called from the received emergency notification message. (Step S8), each called party corresponding to the corresponding telephone numbers is called through the exchange 30 (step S9).

Then, when the base station 20 receives a call response from each called party through the switch 30 (step S10), a voice service for notifying an emergency occurrence situation is provided to each called party through the switch 30. Provide a voice message, such as "current situation is an emergency," which is stored in a voice mailbox (step S11), and then transmit the corresponding voice message to each called party through the exchange 30. To the receiver so that each called party can know the situation of the emergency (step S12).

Alternatively, in case of an emergency call as described above, the network is informed and the network informs each called party of the location tracking information when each called person presses a specific designated button.

In other words, the base station 20 reads a voice message from the voice mailbox requesting to input a location tracking function key, for example, '*', to enable the location tracking service to be selected by each called party. The voice message is transmitted to each called party through the switch 30.

Accordingly, when each called party presses a location tracking function key in order to know the location of the current sender, the base station 20 confirms the input of the location tracking function key from each called party through the switch 30, and then each called party. It provides a location tracking service to, to inform the location of each called party, and when the location voice service is finished, it is possible to hear the surrounding situation of the sender (that is, the user of the mobile communication terminal 10) by voice.

That is, the base station 20 can listen to the user's location tracking service by voice using the voice mailbox only when each called party (for example, a police or a person set as a recipient) desires through the exchange 30. In addition, the control unit 16 of the mobile communication terminal 10 controls the signal processor 13 to drive a microphone, and simultaneously controls the transceiver 14 to control the signal processor through the microphone. A voice signal applied through 13 is transmitted to the base station 20 so that each called party can hear it.

As described above, according to the present invention, when an emergency occurs, a mobile communication terminal can be used to simultaneously call a large number of offenders who do not know the emergency. have. In addition, the present invention provides a location tracking service, if desired by the person set as the recipient so that the user can be quickly rescued from an emergency.
