FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an overall process of detecting a danger using a wearable type danger sensing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention and notifying the emergency network of the risk.

In recent years, there have been a number of crimes involving the elderly, and a variety of methods have been investigated for the purpose of noticing a dangerous situation or a dangerous situation. In particular, in order to notify a dangerous situation safely to an emergency network, It is necessary to be able to notify the dangerous situation without being recognized by the criminal (criminal). To this end, as in the embodiment of the present invention, the danger detection device is configured in the shape of an accessory to be worn on the body, and can accurately recognize a dangerous situation through impact detection or the like. It is desirable to make it possible to easily notify the risk situation.

Referring to FIG. 1, a user (senior citizen) can wear the danger detection device 200 and can detect a dangerous situation through a user's shake, shock detection, user's position, etc. due to falling, falling, The user can notify the emergency communication network 300 of a dangerous situation through the danger notification device 100 possessed by the user. The guardian who has received the emergency notification can report the danger situation to 112, 119, etc. and take action so that the user can be relieved immediately.

Meanwhile, the danger detection device 200 may be formed in the shape of an article that can be worn on the body, and may be in the form of a ring, a pendant, a watch, or the like. That is, when a dangerous situation occurs due to a threat of a perpetrator (a criminal) or the like, if the perpetrator knows that the user has the danger detection device, the risk detection device 200 may be taken or a larger risk may be encountered, The danger sensing device 200 preferably has the same shape as an article normally wearable on the body.

In addition, the danger notification device 100 may be constituted by a mobile terminal held by a user, and the mobile terminal may be installed and operated with an application program for detecting a danger and informing an emergency communication network of a danger.

In the above, we briefly reviewed the process of recognizing the risk when the risk is detected. Hereinafter, the detailed configuration of the risk detection device and the detailed configuration of the risk notification device will be described in detail.

2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of a danger notification device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the danger notification device 100 may include a danger signal receiving unit 110, a danger notification unit 120, and a grace control unit 130.

The danger signal receiving unit 110 can receive the danger signal from the external device through the short distance communication. Here, the external device is, for example, a danger detection device 200 and may be implemented in the form of an article (ring, bracelet, necklace, etc.) wearable on the body.

When the danger signal is received from the external device, the danger notification unit 120 can notify the dangerous situation to the predetermined communication network. At this time, the user can set up the predetermined contact network such as parents, guardian, police station, fire station, welfare center, etc., and can set one or more contact addresses in advance in case of a dangerous situation.

Meanwhile, the dangerous situation can be detected through the impact detected by the external device, the movement of the user, or the like, and in such a case, it can be judged that the danger is caused by the threat of the criminal. In addition to the above-described risk situations, when a user enters an area set as a safe area or set as a dangerous area, it can be determined that a dangerous situation has occurred. For example, a demented elderly person, a child, or the like can wear the danger detection device 200 of the present invention, and when the person is out of a safe area (e.g., within 2 km radius from the address) or a safety path It can be recognized as a situation occurrence and a risk notice can be made to the caregiver.

On the other hand, when notifying the emergency situation to the emergency situation, the current location information of the user (senior citizen) can be transmitted together. To this end, the GPS information of the current location or the last update value of the GPS information can be transmitted. That is, when the GPS information of the current location is grasped, the GPS value of the current location is transmitted, and when it is difficult to grasp the current location of the user (for example, when the user enters the area where the GPS signal is not captured) The last update value (the area where the GPS value was last detected) can be transmitted.

When the external device detects a danger, the deferral control unit 130 provides the user (senior citizen) with a risk occurrence message including a menu for selecting whether or not to transmit the dangerous situation, It is possible to control to suspend notification. At this time, various conditions such as a predetermined time elapse, a specific action of the user, and the like may be set as predetermined conditions. For example, when a danger is detected, the danger message is not notified to the emergency network immediately, but a risk message is provided to the user (elderly person) on the screen and the authenticity It can be given a time to judge whether or not it is possible. Accordingly, the user (senior citizen) can cancel the transmission of the risk occurrence message when it is determined that the risk occurrence message is displayed on the screen even though the risk is not caused by the malfunction of the apparatus or the like.

As another example, if the risk occurrence message is provided to the user (elderly person) on the screen, if the user selects to stop the transmission, the risk notification to the established emergency network is not noticed, (For example, 10 seconds) has elapsed without selection of the emergency network.

As described above, when the user is determined to be in a dangerous situation and is automatically contacted to the emergency communication network, the message delivery is delayed until the set condition is satisfied so that the erroneous dangerous situation message due to the malfunction, And the reliability of identification and message delivery can be enhanced.

3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a wearable type danger sensing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the risk sensing apparatus 200 may include a risk sensing sensor 210, a risk signal transmitting unit 220, and a sensitivity control unit 230.

The danger detection sensor 210 can sense a dangerous situation through user's shaking, impact, user's location information, and the like. To this end, the risk detection sensor 210 may include at least one of an acceleration sensor and a position detection sensor, thereby detecting at least one of the shaking, impact, and position of the user.

For example, a user may be judged to be in danger if the user is subjected to a serious threat such as a user's body shaking, falling, a physical shock to the user, or the like. In addition, it can be determined that a dangerous situation occurs when the user goes out of the set safety zone or enters the set dangerous zone.

The danger signal transmitter 220 can transmit a danger signal to the mobile terminal through the short distance communication when a dangerous situation of the user is detected. In this case, the short-range communication may include various communication methods such as Bluetooth, Radio Frequency (RF), and ZigBee.

The sensitivity control unit 230 may adjust the sensitivity of the danger detection sensor 210. For this, the sensitivity controller 230 may change the sensitivity for the shaking and / or shock detection to a predetermined value when the user enters the predetermined dangerous area. That is, the sensitivity of the danger detection sensor 200 for detecting a dangerous situation of the user can be set to be sensitive or insensitive depending on the user's position or current situation, in order to prevent the risk of malfunction or to use the battery efficiently have.

For example, when the user enters a preset danger zone, the sensitivity can be adjusted so that the danger detection sensor 200 can operate sensitively. If the user goes out of a predetermined danger zone, It is possible to make a comparatively insensitive operation. That is, since it is necessary to respond sensitively to small impacts in a dangerous area, there is a fear of malfunction, and even if the amount of used battery is increased, it can be set to be automatically changed to a sensitive sensitivity. On the other hand, if the sensitivity is set to be excessively sensitive in the case of deviating from the dangerous area, the possibility of malfunction increases, and the sensitivity may be set to be somewhat insensitive and automatically change since the amount of battery used increases.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the occurrence of a dangerous situation is automatically detected through the wearable type danger sensing device, the dangerous situation is communicated through communication with the dangerous notice device, Since the sensitivity of the sensor for detecting the situation can be set differently, a danger sensing device for sensing a dangerous situation more accurately and efficiently can be provided.
