2 is a flowchart illustrating an emergency state reporting method using a best code according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in the figure, an emergency state reporting method using a best code according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an input step S100 for inputting a code, a first determination step S200, a second determination step S300, (S400), an unlocking step (S500), a normal operation mode operation step (S600), and an emergency operation mode operation step (S700).

The input step S100 is a step for receiving the user security code through the code input unit 10 of the user equipment. At this time, the user normally authenticates the normal user as a normal code. However, in the case of a threat from a crime or an emergency, it is possible to input a predetermined code.

The first determining step S200 is a step of determining whether the security code inputted in the input step S100 is the best code through the control unit 20.

If it is determined that the code is not the most code in the first determination step (S200), the second determination step (S300) proceeds to the unlocking step (S500) if the input security code is registered as normal, The user can be re-input through the user code input step S100. The term 'unlocking' refers to the execution of a normal mode operation.

The first determination step (S200) and the second determination step (S300) are sequentially displayed in order to adequately describe the present embodiment, and may be a step that is actually determined at the same time, There is no difference in achieving.

The emergency control step S400 is performed when the user impersonation code recorded in the control unit 20 in the first determination step S200 coincides with the input security code.

3 is a flowchart illustrating an emergency control step in an emergency state reporting method using a best code according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The emergency control step S400 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3. In the emergency control step S400, when the controller 20 determines that the code has been input, The controller enters the operation mode of preparing the processor operation (S410).

In the emergency control step S400, the control unit 20 specifies other information such as a phone number or an Internet address, which is a contact of the user emergency control unit 120 according to the user impersonation code stored in the control unit 20 ).

In the emergency control step S400, the control unit 20 transmits the user information to the communication unit 30 through the central processing unit 60, contacts the user emergency control unit 120, (S440).

In the emergency control step S400, the controller 20 turns off all the external display devices that the user device normally uses when transmitting the emergency signal according to the code (S450).

This is to give the criminal a recognition that the criminal is operating in the normal operation mode in transmission of the emergency signal according to the code.

In general, an external display device used by a user device for transmission includes a display device such as a call display or a sound display device such as a ring back tone (ring back tone) and a video display device such as an LED display, It refers to all external display devices that operate.

In the emergency control step S400, the control unit 20 transmits an emergency signal and data regarding all the operation records of the control unit 20 generated internally in accordance with the operation of the control unit 20 when the emergency operation mode is operated (S700) (Step S460).

The sequence of processes with the chunk of code takes place in a short period of time that is almost indistinguishable from unlocking due to the normal code.

In the normal operation mode operation step S600, the user equipment is normally operated after being unlocked due to the normal code.

In the emergency operation mode operation step S700, the emergency signal is transmitted to the user emergency control center or the like without any indication even though the user code is operated in the same manner as when the normal code is inputted by the user code . This allows the user to be more active in the risk of crime and emergency situations by appearing to use the user's device normally by using the most code in the risk of an emergency or crime.

Although the present invention has been described by way of specific embodiments, it is not limited thereto. Modifications and variations are possible within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.
