It is preferable to transmit all the location information to the service server 210. For example, when the location information is acquired only from the base station information, the location information by the base station information is included in the rescue request message and transmitted to the service server 210, and then the GPS module 109 and the Wi-Fi are transmitted. If all of the location information is acquired from the module 111, all three acquired location information is included in the rescue request message and transmitted to the service server 210.

After checking all the received location information, the service server 210 may determine and select the most reliable location information and transmit a rescue request message including the selected location information to the guardian terminal 230. Of course, it is also possible to transmit all location information received from the emergency terminal 100 to the guardian terminal 230.

The controller 107 repeatedly transmits a rescue request message including the current location information of the user to the service server 210 at a predetermined time interval, unless the emergency situation is released by the user or guardian. do. In this case, the current location information of the user that is repeatedly transmitted is preferably location information that is re-measured at each time point.

The service server 210 receiving the rescue request message from the emergency terminal 100 transmits the rescue request message to the guardian terminal 230 corresponding to the unique ID of the emergency terminal 100 transmitted together with the rescue request message. .

On the other hand, when the emergency button 103 is pressed for a predetermined time or longer in an emergency situation for transmitting a rescue request message, it is also possible to configure to release the emergency situation and stop the message transmission.

Then, when the emergency release is requested to the service server 210 by the user or the guardian, for example, the guardian makes a request through a website providing the service or a rescue request received by the guardian to the guardian's terminal. When the emergency release is requested by the case where the emergency release means displayed on the message is selected, an emergency release message is transmitted from the service server 210 to the emergency terminal 100, and the emergency terminal 100 that has received such a message. Control unit 107 controls the emergency terminal 100 to stop transmitting the rescue request message.

In this case, the emergency situation release means displayed on the rescue request message may include, for example, the phrase "emergency situation" along with the phrase "Do you want to release the emergency situation? Yes / No" at the bottom. So that the guardian selects yes to request an emergency release. In other words, the guardian can request to release the emergency situation directly from his terminal.

In addition, in a terminal capable of executing a secure service application such as a smartphone, the guardian may execute the secure service application to request an emergency release on the menu of the application.

Since the emergency terminal 100 according to the present invention is not normally powered on, the user may raise a question about whether the emergency terminal 100 operates normally. In order to solve such a question, the emergency terminal 100 according to the present invention may be provided with a test button 101.

As described above, the test button 101 transmits a test message for testing an operation state of the emergency terminal 100. The test message contains information indicating that this is a test message. In addition, according to an embodiment, the terminal may further include current location information of the terminal and information of whether or not the user is normally subscribed to the security service. The test button is for allowing the user who subscribed to the service and purchased the emergency terminal 100 to check whether the terminal operates properly or is properly subscribed to the service, and the test function is prevented from using the test function. It is desirable to limit the number of times the function can be used once or to a specified number of times.

When the test button 101 is pressed by the user, the emergency terminal 100 is in a power-on state, and after the control unit 107 obtains the current location information of the user, the controller 107 includes its own ID along with the obtained location information. The test message is transmitted to the service server 210.

The service server 210 receiving the test message from the emergency terminal 100 transmits the test message to the guardian terminal 230 corresponding to the received unique ID. At this time, the emergency terminal 100 transmits the test message to the service server 210 for a predetermined number of times, for example, three times, and once the test button is transmitted by pressing the test button 101, the test mode is used once. The information may be recorded in the memory 115 or the like, and then configured to not perform any operation even after the test button 101 is pressed. Of course, it is also possible to implement the test function more than once.

After transmitting the test message a predetermined number of times, if the message to return to the power off state from the service server 210 is transmitted to the emergency terminal 100, the emergency terminal 100 is in the power off state. On the other hand, instead of transmitting a message to return to the power-off state from the service server 210, it is also possible to configure the emergency terminal 100 is automatically turned off after transmitting the test message a predetermined number of times.
