Prior to the detailed description of the present invention, with reference to Figure 2, it will be described with respect to the communication system that can implement the dangerous message reception notification method according to the present invention.

2 is a structural diagram of a communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 100 according to the present invention receives a dangerous message from the paging management server 210 through the paging channel ① or from the broadcasting management server 220. A dangerous message may be received through a broadcasting channel ②.

In particular, the critical message received through the paging channel is a user-defined dangerous message that can be specified or provided to a specific mobile terminal, and can be provided or confirmed when the mobile terminal 100 is registered with the custom dangerous message providing service. have.

In addition, the danger message received through the broadcasting channel is a user shared danger message provided to all mobile terminals located in a specific area, and may be provided whenever the mobile terminal 100 is located in a specific area where a danger occurs.

Accordingly, the mobile terminal 100 may receive a user specified danger message and a user shared danger message through the paging channel ① and the broadcasting channel ②, respectively.

The above-described risk message providing method may be implemented in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system.

In particular, the system for providing dangerous messages among the LTI systems is called the Earthquake Tsunami Warning System (ETWS). In addition, in ETWS, a critical message through the paging channel (①) may be referred to as a 'secondary notification'. Can be.

Hereinafter, a dangerous message reception notification method of a mobile terminal according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

3 is a flowchart illustrating a dangerous message reception notification method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, the mobile terminal 100 receives a danger message using the wireless communication unit 110 (S310).

Here, the danger message may refer to a message that warns of a danger to a natural phenomenon or the surrounding environment that threatens the user's identity.

In the receiving step (S310), the mobile terminal 100, if the dangerous message is a user-specified dangerous message (described above) by using the mobile communication module 112 through the paging channel, the dangerous message is a user common dangerous message In case of (described above), it may be received using the broadcast receiving module 111 through the broadcasting channel.

Since the dangerous message includes message type identification information for distinguishing between a user-specified dangerous message or a user shared dangerous message, the dangerous message may be separately distinguished in the receiving step S310 and received using the corresponding module.

The mobile terminal 100 determines whether the dangerous message received in the receiving step S310 is a user-specified dangerous message or a user shared dangerous message under the control of the controller 180 (S320).

As described above, the controller 180 may determine the received dangerous message as a user-defined danger message when the danger message is received through a paging channel or includes identification information identifying the user-specified danger message.

Alternatively, the controller 180 may determine the received dangerous message as a user shared danger message when the dangerous message is received through a broadcasting channel or includes identification information for identifying the user shared danger message.

In particular, in the case of the ETWS of the LTE system, the type of the dangerous message can be distinguished by the following method.

When the system information block type of the broadcasting channel is '10', the controller 180 recognizes the primary notification and waits in anticipation of the danger message being provided through the paging channel. User-specified risk messages provided through the paging channel may be received.

Alternatively, when the system information block type of the broadcasting channel is '11', the controller 180 recognizes the secondary notification and receives a user common danger message provided through the broadcasting channel. Can be.

When it is determined that the dangerous message received in the reception step S310 is a user-specified dangerous message (S320), the mobile terminal 100 determines whether it is registered in the user-defined dangerous message providing service under the control of the controller 180. Determine (S330).

Under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 may register with the user-specified danger message providing service using the wireless communication unit 110 before the reception of the danger message (S310).

A user may use a mobile terminal 100 or another terminal (for example, a computer) to provide a customized risk message providing service for receiving a dangerous message considering a special situation of the mobile terminal 100 (or the user). You can perform the procedure for registration.

The registration information registered in the registration step may include age information, gender information, health information, residential area information, etc. of the user of the mobile terminal 100. Of course, the registration information may be registered in a procedure other than a user specified danger message providing service registration procedure (eg, mobile terminal use registration).

For example, the mobile terminal 100 may access the paging management server 210 to perform the above-described registration procedure, and the above-described registration information may be managed and stored by the paging management server 210. .

Therefore, the mobile terminal 100 may receive a user-specified danger message including contents corresponding to the registration information as it registers with the user-specified danger message providing service. In this case, the page management server 210 may determine the current location of the mobile terminal 100 using the GPS system or the base station location information.

For example, if the age information of the registration information is '15 years old 'and the current mobile terminal 100 is located in the' youth no entry zone ', the user-specified risk message informs that the user is currently located in the no jurisdiction no entry zone, To get people out of this area. Alternatively, when the gender information of the registered information is 'female' and the current criminal is located near the mobile terminal 100, the custom risk message indicates that the sex offender is currently positioned around the user, and thus leaves the area. Inducing content ”. Or, if the health information of the registration information is' dust allergy ', and the current mobile terminal 100 is located in a severe yellow dust, the custom risk message,' in the current heavy dust and tells that the location is located in the severe dust off area May be used to induce '

When it is determined that the mobile terminal 100 is registered in the user-specified danger message providing service in the determination step S330, the mobile terminal 100 uses the alarm unit 153 to receive the user-defined danger message under the control of the controller 180. It can be informed by (S340).

The mobile terminal 100 may perform a notification operation only when a user receives a risk message and registers the user's risk message regardless of whether or not a user registers the user's risk message service. Only the user can receive the user-defined danger message and notify the user.

Meanwhile, when it is determined that the dangerous message received in the reception step S310 is a user shared danger message (S320), the mobile terminal 100 alarms that a user shared danger message has been received under the control of the controller 180. Notify using the unit 153 (S350).

In the notification steps S340 and S350, under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 may notify the reception of the dangerous message in a specific notification mode regardless of the preset message reception notification mode. Here, the specific notification mode may include a ringtone mode or a vibration mode.

For example, even when the preset message reception notification mode is the 'lamp mode', the controller 180 switches to the 'ringtone mode' or 'vibration mode' to output a ring tone or vibration to notify the dangerous message reception. The unit 153 may be controlled.

Alternatively, when the preset message reception notification mode is the 'vibration mode', the controller 180 may control the alarm unit 153 to output a ringtone to notify the dangerous message reception by switching to the 'ringtone mode'.

Also, the controller 180 may distinguish whether the dangerous message is a user-specified dangerous message or a user shared dangerous message according to a user's selection, and notify the reception of the dangerous message in different notification modes.

For example, the controller 180 may notify the reception of the user-specified danger message in the 'vibration mode' and notify the reception of the user public danger message in the 'ringtone mode'.

In the notification step (S340, S350), the mobile terminal 100, under the control of the controller 180, when the specific notification mode is the 'ringtone mode' to notify the dangerous message reception with a specific ring size, or dangerous with a specific ring tone You can notify the receipt of a message. Here, the specific ring size may mean the largest size that can be output.

Of course, the user may select a ring size and a ring type to be applied when the dangerous message is received.

In this case, the controller 180 may notify the dangerous message reception at a specific ring size and a specific ring tone regardless of the ring tone size and ring type specified in relation to the preset message reception notification mode.

In addition, the controller 180 may distinguish whether the dangerous message is a user-specified dangerous message or a user shared dangerous message according to a user's selection, and set a different ring size or ring type to notify the dangerous message reception.

Therefore, when a message reception notification sound is output with a ringtone of a predetermined size or more, or a message reception notification sound is output with a specific ringtone, the user may recognize the message as a dangerous message rather than a general message.

In the notification step (S340, S350), under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 may notify the reception of the dangerous message periodically or continuously until the confirmation of the dangerous message by the user.

For example, the controller 180 may output the dangerous message reception notification sound for 10 seconds or the dangerous message reception notification sound continuously for one second until the dangerous message is confirmed by the user.

In addition, the notification steps S340 and S350 may be performed even when another application is running under the control of the controller 180.

For example, even when the broadcast signal output according to the broadcast mode driving, the audio signal output according to the MP3 mode driving, and the other party's reception sound output according to the telephone mode driving are output, the controller 180 gives priority to the application being driven or Along with the running application, it is possible to perform the reception notification operation of the dangerous message.

On the other hand, in the notification step (S340, S350), under the control of the controller 180, the mobile terminal 100 displays a phrase or icon indicating that the dangerous message has been received using the display unit 151, or The voice informing that the message has been received may be output using the sound output module 152.

The mobile terminal 100 may receive selection of whether to receive a dangerous message from the outside through the user input unit 130. In addition, the mobile terminal 100 may receive a selection of a condition for performing a reception notification operation of a dangerous message from the outside through the user input unit 130. The notification steps S340 and S350 may be performed when the dangerous message notification is selected or when the execution condition of the selected reception notification operation is satisfied under the control of the controller 180.

Therefore, even in the case of a user-defined dangerous message, even when registered with the custom danger message providing service, when the reception notification of the user-defined danger message is not selected or does not satisfy the condition for performing the reception notification operation, the controller 180, Do not perform the receipt notification action of a custom danger message.

4 to 6C are screen configuration diagrams for setting a condition and whether a dangerous message is received in a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIG. 4, the mobile terminal 100 may receive a reception notification from a user with respect to a user specified danger message and a user shared danger message.

For example, the controller 180 may notify reception of a user-defined danger message when 'setting' is selected for the user-specified danger message, and the user public danger message when 'setting' is selected for the user public danger message. It can inform the reception.

As illustrated in FIG. 5, the mobile terminal 100 may display a list of dangerous message reception notification conditions and set a condition for performing a dangerous message reception notification operation according to a user's selection.

When 'place' is selected in FIG. 5, the mobile terminal 100 displays a preset list of places (eg, my home, company, school, library, etc.) or a menu item for directly inputting a specific place from a user. This can be done (FIG. 6A).
