Accordingly, life jackets having a positioning function are also being developed for the rapid rescue of the survivors. A prior art document, Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-0850470 'life jacket equipped with a distress signal transmitting device' (hereinafter referred to as 'prior art'), transmits a distress signal to the life jacket in addition to the structural features of the life jacket. It relates to the technology with which the device is equipped.

However, the prior art is equipped with a device capable of transmitting the location information of the person in distress to a life jacket worn by the person in distress as a radio signal, but the user has to operate it so that the signal and location information can be transmitted directly.

Due to the nature of maritime accidents, sudden accidents can cause frequent situations such as panic among passengers or loss of consciousness due to external shocks. However, in the case of prior art, passengers wearing life jackets directly use the distress signal transmission device. Since it has to be manipulated, there is a problem in that it cannot sufficiently respond to such a situation.

In particular, passengers (eg, the elderly) who are unfamiliar with the operation of electronic devices cannot use the distress signal transmission device as in the prior art at all, and thus have difficulty in rescue.

As a result, since the prior art is a technology that requires a prerequisite that a passenger (the wearer) must directly operate the distress signal transmitting device, its efficiency is greatly reduced in an actual maritime disaster.
