For example, even when the user is not familiar with the language of the country in which he / she is currently staying, it is possible to prevent the user from having an emergency situation on at least one other electronic device And an emergency notification system and method capable of informing that an emergency has occurred.

Background Art [0002] With the recent development of information communication technologies, emergency emergence notification technology has been developed in order to transmit information indicating an emergency situation through a remote data communication network to a server (e.g., a fire station Server, police station server, security company server, etc.) in real time. Recently, information sorting technology and compression technology are being developed, which can more conveniently access the surrounding technology and subscribers' tastes and preferences, such as cache memory extension technology for providing accurate information more quickly to subscribers. And the development of various contents and solutions thereof is being spurred. Especially, as capitalism becomes more sophisticated, accumulation of wealth in private property becomes a very personal problem, and nowadays, the need for protection service for individual and family rehabilitation has been taken for granted. In fact, the gap between the rich and the poor has increased, and as the unemployment rate has increased, various types of violent crime have been increasing, and kidnapping and robbery incidents are increasing rapidly.

On the other hand, if you are not familiar with the language of your country when you are abroad, your ability to cope with emergencies is reduced. Accordingly, there is a need for an emergency notification system and method that can notify the peripheral electronic device that an emergency has occurred even if the user in emergency is immature in the language of the country of residence.
