In addition, the microprocessor capable of performing a multimedia playback function is interpreted as a generic term for a terminal capable of performing a certain arithmetic operation.

3 is a view for explaining the internal structure of the GPS terminal 210 of FIG.

Referring to FIG. 3, the GPS terminal 210 includes a control unit 310, a risk detection sensor 315, a GPS receiver 320, an information collector 330, a network communication unit 340, a near field communication unit 350, and Database 360.

The controller 310 is responsible for the overall control of the components of the GPS terminal 210.

The risk detecting sensor 315 is a means for detecting a dangerous situation. In addition, a plurality of risk detection sensors 315 may be used to detect various risk factors according to respective risk determination criteria to generate a corresponding alarm signal. The risk sensor 315 may be directly installed in the GPS terminal 210, or when the risk sensor 315 is installed at a predetermined distance, the GPS terminal 210 may be connected by a connection line that transmits a detection signal. ) Can be connected. In addition, the signal detected by the danger sensor 315 may be received through the short-range communication unit 350.

The risk factor may be to detect at least one of a crime situation, fire, earthquake, and harmful gas leak. In addition, the GPS terminal 210 may be installed in a specific space or carried by the user. For example, when the danger detection sensor 315 is installed in a specific space, it is installed on a ceiling, a pillar, a wall, and the like to detect a vehicle accident, fire, earthquake, gas, and a crime situation (unauthorized intrusion by outsiders, etc.). Temperature sensors, vibration sensors, air component sensors, and infrared detectors can be used to automatically detect dangerous situations. In addition, when the user carries the GPS terminal 210, the SOS when the temperature sensor, the vibration sensor, etc. may automatically detect the environment around the user and are in an emergency situation such as being threatened by robbery. Hotkeys can be used to immediately contact a security-related relief management system 230, such as a police station, for a dangerous situation. In addition, by installing a camera associated with the GPS terminal 210 may be stored in the database 360 to take a picture of a crime situation or a traffic accident to be used as evidence later. As the camera for photographing as described above, a digital camera, a CMOS camera, a Charged Coupled Device (CCD) camera, a video recording device such as CCTV, or the like may be used, and a camera of a mobile communication terminal may be used as it is.

In addition, the alarm signal may generate the alarm signal when the threshold for each risk factor is exceeded, or generate the alarm signal when the risk factor is detected for a predetermined time or more. For example, if the temperature sensor in the temperature sensor or the temperature of the sensor portion is longer than the threshold value for more than a predetermined time it is determined that the dangerous situation can contact the relief management system 230 and the like. Therefore, when a dangerous situation below the threshold is detected, the alarm signal is not generated, so that unnecessary alarm signal may not be generated.

In addition, the alert signal may transmit different text messages to the relief management system 230 according to a risk factor selected by the user. That is, an alarm signal corresponding to each risk factor is generated, and the text message is transmitted to the relief management system 230 managing the risk factor so that the risk situation can be solved quickly and efficiently.

The GPS receiver 320 generates GPS-based current location information from the satellite signal. That is, the location information may be obtained by accurately calculating latitude, longitude, altitude, etc. of the current location by measuring accurate coordinates, etc. using a triangulation method, etc., from signals received from a plurality of satellites in a GPS receiver. The location information may be represented in a coordinate format, and an example thereof is illustrated in FIG. 4 and will be described later.

The information collector 330 collects an alarm signal informing of a dangerous situation and current location information generated from the GPS receiver 320 according to a predetermined hotkey input for SOS. The alarm signal may be generated when the danger detection sensor 315 is automatically detected as described above, but as the distress recognizes a danger situation and inputs a certain hotkey for the SOS in the GPS terminal 210, The information collector 330 may be automatically generated. The information collector 330 may collect current location information from the GPS receiver 320 only when the alarm signal is generated. Therefore, power consumption of the GPS receiver 320 can be minimized and used for a long time.

In addition, the alarm signal and the current location information collected by the information collector 330 may be transmitted to the relief management system in the form of a text message through the mobile communication network 220. In this case, the information collector 330 may collect an alarm signal generated from at least one risk detection sensor 315 that detects a certain risk factor and generates an alarm signal for each risk factor or automatically generated according to a predetermined hotkey. Accordingly, various risk factors such as fire and gas leak may be provided with respective risk detection sensors 315 (eg, temperature detection sensors, air component measurement sensors, etc.) to generate alarm signals according to the measured risk factors, respectively. The text message may be transmitted to one or more relief management systems 230.

In addition, as another embodiment, the controller 310 may control the information collector to automatically collect and set an alarm signal informing of a dangerous situation and current location information generated from the GPS receiver. That is, even if the user does not press the hotkey on the information collector, when the gas leak detection sensor, which is the danger detection sensor 315, detects a dangerous situation such as a gas leak and shows a value above the threshold, an alarm signal corresponding to the risk factor and the current Location information can be collected automatically. Therefore, the collected information is transmitted directly to the relief management system 230 to quickly cope with a dangerous situation without waiting for a user's hotkey input.

The network communication unit 340 may transmit and receive a radio wave with a base station, and in the present invention may transmit a text message including relief information to the relief management system 230. That is, the alarm signal and the current location information collected by the information collector 330 may be transmitted in the form of the text message through the mobile communication network 220.

The short range communication unit 350 transmits the alarm signal generated by the at least one danger sensor and the current location information generated by the GPS receiver to the mobile communication terminal 240 according to a predetermined hot key input. Therefore, the transmitted relief information may be transmitted from the mobile communication terminal 240 to the relief management system 230 in the form of a text message. That is, the mobile communication terminal 240 further includes a short range communication unit 350 which transmits the alarm signal collected by the information collector 330 and the current location information to a mobile communication terminal using short range communication. The alert signal received from the short range communication unit and the current location information are transmitted to the relief management system 230 in the form of a text message.

The short range communication unit 350 may transmit the alert signal and the current location information to a phone number associated with the relief management system. That is, the short range communication unit 350 may transmit the alarm signal detected by the at least one danger sensor 315 to the mobile communication terminal 240 using short range communication. At this time, the short-range communication unit 350 that can be used includes Bluetooth, infrared communication (IrDA), Zigbee (Zigbee), Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity), home RF and UWB (Ultra Wide Band).

The Bluetooth refers to a communication module of a standard that enables real-time communication in two directions by wirelessly connecting a computer, a mobile communication terminal, and a home appliance that are located at a short distance. In addition, the infrared communication may use the Infrared Data Association standard and the like, and refers to a technology for transmitting data in the infrared without a cable. The wireless infrared IrDA communication port has a function of transmitting and receiving digital information comparable to that of a LAN. In addition, ZigBee is a standard technology for home automation and data networks with a low transmission speed, enabling one-button operation to enable light control, home security system, and VCR on / off anywhere in the home and to connect the Internet. It can be used as a module for short-range communication of the present invention as a technology that can more conveniently use home automation by dial-up through. In addition, Wi-Fi is a standard provided by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Association (WECA) for the 802.11b wireless Ethernet standard, and has a long communication distance. The home RF is a communication system using electromagnetic waves propagating in a space. In the 4 GHz ISM band, RF communication uses spread spectrum technology, and the radio frequency (RF) is above an audible frequency and is below a visible line. All broadcasts, satellites and cellular phones, including FM and AM radios, are used primarily in this area. In addition, UWB (Ultra Wide Band) is a wireless communication technology that utilizes a high frequency band of 2 to 10GHz, and UWB (UWB) can exchange data using ultra-high frequency and has a high transmission speed. It can be used as a wireless communication technology to implement a ubiquitous environment.

The database 360 stores and manages the phone number of the relief management system 230 for each risk factor. That is, a text message describing a risk situation according to the risk factor may be briefly summarized and transmitted to the relief management system 230 to a phone number of the relief management system 230 capable of coping with the risk factor. The text message may be directly created and stored by a user or may use a message provided basically. For example, the text message may be transmitted to a hospital and a fire station as a message related to an emergency situation, and each telephone number may be contacted at '119' and '1234-1234' and the like. In addition, the text message may be received by the other party on a wired or wireless telephone as well as received by a web server through the Internet. In addition, the database 360 may be used as a means for storing a risk factor photographed by a certain camera module. Therefore, a still image or a moving picture of a scene of a traffic accident or the like may be used as evidence.

4 is a diagram illustrating an example in which a danger signal and current location information are generated in a text message form in the mobile communication terminal 240 of FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 4, when one or more risk factors are detected by the GPS terminal 210 at a value greater than or equal to a corresponding threshold, an alarm signal and current location information are transmitted to the mobile communication terminal 240 through short-range communication such as Bluetooth and Zigbee. Can be. In the mobile communication terminal, a fire-related alarm signal detected by the danger sensor 315 of the GPS terminal 210 is shown. In addition, the current location information may be provided together with the alarm signal, and specific place names or distance information may be displayed together on the map. The received alert signal and current location information may be transmitted to the relief management system 230 through a mobile communication network in the form of a text message. The text message may include a brief alarm content, a name of a receiver to receive the text message, and location information of a place where a dangerous situation occurs. Therefore, the relief management system 230 receiving the text message may perform an emergency rescue activity by grasping the traffic condition according to the article and location information to be prepared for the alarm report.

In addition, the current location information may include not only latitude and longitude, but also altitude. Accordingly, when the user is in a high-rise building, the user may also find out which floor the user is located in, so that specific information such as, for example, the floor in which the fire occurred may be related to the relief management system 230. ) Can be sent. Therefore, it is possible to effectively cope with a dangerous situation by sneaking into a crime scene or preparing an expensive ladder car in case of fire.

The text message may be a short message, a multimedia message, a long message, or an integrated message transmitted and received through a short message service (SMS), a multimedia message service (MMS), a long message service (LMS), or a unified message service (UMS).
