The mobile communication terminal 100 includes a keypad and key buttons for inputting general telephone calls and information, as well as a shock sensor 100a which is operated by a preset external shock, and the terminal is not destroyed, for example. When a predetermined amount of shock is applied, an emergency signal informing of an emergency situation is transmitted to the wireless network 110 according to the operation of the shock sensor 100a.

The mobile communication terminal 100 is connected to the mobile communication exchange 130 through a wireless network 110, the power is on, and the function key and the emergency terminal to turn on or off the emergency function, the mobile communication exchange ( 130 provides an interface for entering the information required to register. Such information will be provided to the mobile communication exchange 130 through the wireless network 110 and stored in the emergency DB 140.

According to the operation of the function key, the mobile communication terminal 100 provides a control signal to the mobile communication exchange 130 through the wireless network 110 to turn on or off an emergency function, and the mobile communication exchange 130 controls the control signal. Based on the emergency function of the mobile communication terminal 100 is turned on or off.

The information provided to the mobile communication switch 130 may be a phone number of the wired terminal 120 to receive a rescue message when an emergency occurs or a phone number of an arbitrary mobile communication terminal.

When the emergency signal is received from the mobile communication terminal 100 through the wireless network 110, the mobile communication exchange 130 transmits the emergency signal through the search of the emergency DB 140 to the emergency terminal. After determining whether it is registered as an emergency terminal to generate a rescue message, and transmits the generated rescue message to the terminal corresponding to the information stored in the emergency DB (140).

In addition, the mobile communication exchange 130 determines that an emergency situation is maintained when the call interruption of the mobile communication terminal 100 with the emergency function turned on for a preset time, generates a rescue message accordingly, and sends the rescue message to the emergency DB 140. Send to the terminal corresponding to the information stored in.

If the information registered in the emergency DB 140 is the telephone number of the wired terminal 120, the mobile communication exchange 130 transmits a rescue message to the wired terminal 120 in association with the wired network 115, and the emergency DB ( If the information registered in 140 is a phone number of the mobile communication terminal, the rescue message will be sent to the mobile communication terminal registered as an emergency terminal in association with the wireless network 110.
