Here, the predetermined time interval (time out, activation interval) means the activation setting time for activating the time-out voice app, and can be set not only a regular time interval but also an irregular time interval.

In the present invention, the time-out voice app is activated only within a preset time period (time out, activation period), and the time-out voice app is not activated at other times.

That is, the setting method can prevent battery consumption of the mobile terminal by an app that is always activated. In addition, it is possible to replace the command (generally by touching the icon) to activate the app every day or every hour in a periodically repeated time zone.

In addition, by setting the app activation time interval in an irregular time zone, it is possible to activate the time-out voice app and to automatically terminate the execution of the app without the user having to terminate the app separately. The battery consumption can be reduced.

Since the occurrence of an emergency does not occur frequently, it is not necessary to activate the app at all times, and in view of the fact that the post-action is difficult when an emergency occurs without the app being activated, the present invention Introduced a time-out voice app.

Specifically, in general, a user may go out periodically, but in case of students, the school is often the same time periodically, and in the case of office workers, the commute time of the company is the same time. Most of the time, if you set the app activation time interval (timeout) at the same time period, the time-out voice app is automatically activated during that time zone, and emergency response can be made in case of emergency in the state where the app is activated. Done.

On the other hand, while the type-out voice app 228 is activated, the mobile terminal 110 acquires the surrounding voice through the voice recognition unit 226 and analyzes it through the time-out voice app 228 to determine whether there is an emergency situation. It is determined (S516).

When the voice acquired by the time-out voice app 228 is determined to be an emergency situation, the mobile terminal 110 transmits emergency situation data to the receiving terminal 118 (S520).

On the other hand, when the voice acquired by the time-out voice app 228 is determined to be a simple noise or a general level of voice instead of an emergency situation, it is filtered without transmitting data to the receiving terminal 118, and the app activation time interval It is checked whether or not (time out) is finished (S518).

If the mobile terminal 110 determines that the current time is outside the activation time interval of the time-out voice app 228, the mobile terminal 110 terminates the app and returns to an inactive state (S522).

On the other hand, if the current time is still within the activation time interval of the time-out voice app 228, the time-out voice app 228 continues to be activated (S514) and again checks for an emergency situation (S516). ) Repeat the same process as before.
