본 발명에서는 추락이나 교통사고 등과 같은 긴급상황 발생으로 인한 이동통신 단말기의 외부 충격을 감지하여 해당되는 긴급구난 메시지를 자동으로 송신함으로써 긴급신고센터에 긴급상황을 통보하고자 하는데, 이를 위한 이동통신 단말기를 이용한 긴급상황 통보 장치는 첨부한 도면 도 1에 도시한 바와 같이, 충격 감지부(10)와, 주변환경 판단부(20)와, 긴급구난 처리부(30) 및 메시지 송신부(40)를 구비하여 이루어진다.In the present invention, by detecting the external shock of the mobile communication terminal due to the occurrence of an emergency such as a fall or a traffic accident, and automatically sends a corresponding emergency rescue message to the emergency report center to notify the emergency situation, the mobile communication terminal for this As shown in FIG. 1, the emergency situation notification device used includes an impact detector 10, an environment determination unit 20, an emergency rescue processor 30, and a message transmitter 40. .

충격 감지부(10)는 단말기에 가해지는 충격을 감지하도록 내장되어, 해당되는 이동통신 단말기에 가해진 직접적인 충격이나 단말기 사용자에게 가해진 충격으로 인한 간접적인 충격을 감지하여 대응하는 충격신호를 주변환경 판단부(20)로 전달한다.The shock detection unit 10 is built to detect a shock applied to the terminal, and detects a corresponding shock signal by detecting an indirect shock caused by a direct shock applied to the corresponding mobile communication terminal or a shock applied to the terminal user. Deliver to 20.

주변환경 판단부(20)는 충격 감지부(10)로부터 충격신호가 전달되는 경우 내부 충격인지, 외부 충격인지를 판단하고, 외부 충격으로 판단되는 경우 긴급구난신호를 생성하여 긴급구난 처리부(30)로 전달하는데, 이때 단말기 내의 전체적인 동작을 제어, 처리하는 중앙처리부(도면에 도시되어 있지 않음)와 연동하여 현재 전달된 충격신호가 내부 충격으로 인한 충격신호인지, 외부 충격으로 인한 충격신호인지를 판단하되, 중앙처리부가 진동모터를 구동시킨 경우이거나 폴더형 단말기에서 폴더 덮개가 닫히는 것을 인식하였을 경우에는 내부 충격으로 인한 충격신호로 판단하고, 그 이외의 경우에는 긴급상황 발생에 따른 외부 충격으로 인한 충격신호로 판단한다.The surrounding environment determiner 20 determines whether it is an internal shock or an external shock when a shock signal is transmitted from the shock detector 10, and generates an emergency rescue signal when it is determined that the external shock is an emergency rescue processor 30. In this case, in conjunction with a central processing unit (not shown in the drawing) which controls and processes the overall operation in the terminal, it is determined whether the currently transmitted shock signal is an impact signal due to an internal impact or an impact signal due to an external impact. However, when the central processing unit drives the vibration motor or when the folder type terminal recognizes that the folder cover is closed, it is determined as a shock signal due to an internal shock, and in other cases, an impact due to an external shock due to an emergency situation. Judging by the signal.

긴급구난 처리부(30)는 주변환경 판단부(20)로부터 긴급구난신호가 전달되는 경우 긴급상황을 알리는 내용과 단말기 위치정보 및 전화번호를 포함하는 긴급구난 메시지를 생성하여 메시지 송신부(40)로 전달하는데, 이때 긴급구난 메시지를 생성하여 전달하기에 앞서 긴급신고센터로 긴급상황을 통보하겠다는 내용을 단말기 화면 및/또는 LED(Light Emitting Diode)를 통해 표시하거나 경고음을 출력하여 소정시간 이내에 긴급상황 통보를 해제할 수 있도록 한다. 즉, 긴급상황을 통보하겠다는 내용을 표시 또는 출력한 상태에서 소정시간 이내에 해제 요청이 입력되는 경우 긴급상황 통보 기능을 종료한다.The emergency rescue processor 30 generates an emergency rescue message including information indicating an emergency situation and terminal location information and a telephone number when the emergency rescue signal is transmitted from the surrounding environment determination unit 20 and transmits the message to the message transmitter 40. In this case, before generating and delivering an emergency rescue message, the emergency report center is notified of the emergency situation through the terminal screen and / or LED (Light Emitting Diode) or by outputting a warning sound to notify the emergency situation within a predetermined time. Allow it to be released. That is, when the release request is input within a predetermined time while displaying or outputting the content to notify the emergency, the emergency notification function ends.

메시지 송신부(40)는 긴급구난 처리부(30)로부터 긴급구난 메시지가 전달되는 경우 긴급신고센터의 전화번호를 착신번으로 하여 해당되는 긴급구난 메시지를 기지국 시스템 측으로 송신함으로써 긴급신고센터에 긴급상황을 통보한다.When the emergency rescue message is transmitted from the emergency rescue processor 30, the message transmitter 40 transmits the corresponding emergency rescue message to the base station system by using the telephone number of the emergency report center as the called number and notifies the emergency report center of the emergency situation. do.

이와 같은 구성을 갖는 본 발명에 따른 이동통신 단말기를 이용한 긴급상황 통보 동작을 첨부한 도면 도 2를 참조하여 설명하면 다음과 같다.The emergency situation notification operation using the mobile communication terminal according to the present invention having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 2 as follows.

먼저, 이동통신 단말기 내의 충격 감지부(10)에서는 단말기의 내부적인 충격이나 단말기에 가해진 직접적인 충격 또는 단말기 사용자에게 가해진 충격으로 인한 간접적인 충격 등이 감지되는지를 확인하게 되고(스텝 S21), 이때, 이동통신 단말기에 가해진 충격이 감지되는 경우 대응하는 충격신호를 생성하여 주변환경 판단부(20)로 전달하게 된다(스텝 S22).First, the shock detection unit 10 in the mobile communication terminal checks whether an internal shock of the terminal, a direct shock applied to the terminal, or an indirect shock due to the shock applied to the terminal user is detected (step S21). When a shock applied to the mobile communication terminal is detected, a corresponding shock signal is generated and transmitted to the surrounding environment determination unit 20 (step S22).

그러면, 주변환경 판단부(20)에서는 충격 감지부(10)로부터 충격신호가 전달됨에 따라 현재 단말기에 가해진 내부 충격인지, 외부 충격인지를 판단하게 되는데, 이는 단말기 내부의 진동모터 구동으로 인한 충격이나 폴더형 단말기에서의 폴더 덮개를 닫는 경우에 감지될 수 있는 내부 충격을 그 이외의 긴급상황 발생시에 감지될 수 있는 외부 충격과 구분하기 위한 것이다.Then, the environment determining unit 20 determines whether the current shock applied to the terminal as an internal shock or an external shock as the shock signal is transmitted from the shock detection unit 10, which is caused by the impact of the vibration motor driving inside the terminal. The purpose of the present invention is to distinguish the internal shock that can be detected when the folder cover is closed in the folder type terminal from the external shock that can be detected when an emergency occurs.

이를 위해 주변환경 판단부(20)에서는 단말기 내의 중앙처리부와 연동하여 진동모터를 구동시켰는지, 폴더 덮개가 닫히는 것을 인식하였는지를 확인하게 되고, 이때 중앙처리부가 진동모터를 구동시켰거나 폴더 덮개가 닫히는 것을 인식하였을 경우에는 현재 충격 감지로부터 전달된 충격신호가 내부 충격으로 인한 충격신호로 판단하게 되고, 그 이외의 경우에는 외부 충격으로 충격신호로 판단하게 된다.To this end, the peripheral environment determination unit 20 checks whether the vibration motor is driven in conjunction with the central processing unit in the terminal or whether the folder cover is recognized. At this time, the central processing unit drives the vibration motor or the folder cover is closed. If it is recognized, the shock signal transmitted from the current shock detection is determined as the shock signal due to the internal shock, otherwise it is determined as the shock signal by the external shock.

즉, 주변환경 판단부(20)에서는 중앙처리부와 연동하여 단말기에 가해진 충격이 내부 충격인지, 외부 충격인지를 판단하게 되고(스텝 S23), 이때 내부 충격으로 판단되는 경우에는 긴급상황 통보 기능을 수행하지 않고 정상 종료하게 되지만, 외부 충격으로 판단되는 경우에는 대응하는 긴급구난신호를 긴급구난 처리부(30)로 전달하게 된다.That is, the surrounding environment judging unit 20 determines whether the shock applied to the terminal is an internal shock or an external shock in association with the central processing unit (step S23). If it is determined that it is not an external shock, but is determined to be an external shock, the corresponding emergency rescue signal is transmitted to the emergency rescue processor 30.

이에, 주변환경 판단부(20)로부터 긴급구난신호를 전달받은 긴급구난 처리부(30)에서는 단말기에 가해진 외부 충격이 긴급상황 발생으로 인한 외부 충격인지를 확인하게 되는데, 이는 단말기에 가해진 충격이 외부 충격이라 하더라도 긴급상황 발생으로 인한 외부 충격이 아닌 경우(예컨대, 이동통신 단말기를 실수로 인해 바닥에 떨어뜨리거나 심하게 부딛힌 경우 등)가 있을 수 있기 때문이다.Accordingly, the emergency rescue processor 30 receiving the emergency rescue signal from the surrounding environment determination unit 20 checks whether the external shock applied to the terminal is an external shock due to the occurrence of an emergency situation, which is the external shock. Even if this is not an external shock due to an emergency (for example, if the mobile terminal is accidentally dropped on the floor or accidentally hit).

이때, 긴급구난 처리부(30)는 단말기에 가해진 충격이 긴급상황 발생으로 인한 외부 충격인지를 확인하기 위해서, 우선 긴급신고센터로 긴급상황을 통보하겠다는 내용을 단말기 화면 및/또는 LED를 통해 표시하거나 소정의 경고음을 출력한 후(스텝 S24), 소정시간 이내에 긴급상황 통보에 대한 해제 요청이 입력되는지를확인하게 된다(스텝 S25).In this case, the emergency rescue processing unit 30 first displays the information to notify the emergency situation to the emergency report center through the terminal screen and / or LED in order to check whether the impact applied to the terminal is an external shock due to the occurrence of the emergency. After outputting the warning sound (step S24), it is checked whether or not a release request for emergency notification is input within a predetermined time (step S25).

만약, 소정시간 이내에 긴급상황 통보에 대한 해제 요청이 입력되는 경우에는 긴급상황 발생으로 인한 외부 충격이 아니므로 긴급상황 통보 기능을 더 이상 수행하지 않고 정상 종료하게 되는데, 이때 해제 요청은 소정의 암호 입력이나 기능 종료 버튼을 이용하여 수행할 수 있다.If the release request for the emergency notification is input within a predetermined time period, since the external shock is not caused by the occurrence of the emergency, the emergency notification function is not performed any longer, and the release request is inputted with a predetermined password. Or using the function end button.

하지만, 소정시간 이내에 긴급상황 통보에 대한 해제 요청이 입력되지 않는 경우에는 단말기에 가해진 충격이 긴급상황 발생으로 인한 외부 충격으로 인식하게 되고, 따라서 긴급상황을 알리는 내용과 단말기 위치정보 및 전화번호를 포함하는 긴급구난 메시지를 생성하여 메시지 송신부(40)로 전달하게 되는데(스텝 S26), 이때 단말기 위치 정보는 긴급상황이 발생된 장소를 알리기 위한 정보로서, 이동통신 단말기에 위치추적장치가 내장되어 있는 경우에는 내부 위치추적장치와 연동하여 단말기 위치 정보를 생성하고, 위치추적장치가 내장되어 있지 않은 경우에는 기지국 시스템과 연동하여 단말기 위치 정보를 생성하게 된다.However, if the release request for the emergency notification is not input within a predetermined time, the shock applied to the terminal is recognized as an external shock due to the occurrence of the emergency, and thus, the emergency notification, the terminal location information, and the phone number are included. The emergency rescue message is generated and delivered to the message transmitter 40 (step S26). In this case, the terminal location information is information for informing the place where the emergency situation occurs, and the location tracking device is embedded in the mobile communication terminal. The terminal generates location information by interworking with the internal location tracking device, and generates terminal location information by interworking with the base station system when the location tracking device is not embedded.

그리고, 긴급구난 처리부(30)로부터 긴급구난 메시지를 전달받은 메시지 송신부(40)에서는 긴급신고센터의 전화번호를 착신번으로 하여 해당되는 긴급구난 메시지를 기지국 시스템 측으로 송신함으로써 긴급신고센터에 단말기 사용자에게 긴급상황이 발생되었음을 통보하게 되는데(스텝 S27), 이때 메시지 송신부(40)에서 송신한 긴급구난 메시지는 기지국 시스템 및 이동통신 교환기를 통해 긴급신고센터로 전송되며, 긴급구난 메시지가 긴급신고센터에 정상적으로 도착되지 않은 경우 즉, 긴급신고센터로부터 응답신호를 받지 못한 경우에는 해당되는 긴급구난 메시지를 재송신하게 된다.In addition, the message transmitter 40 receiving the emergency rescue message from the emergency rescue processor 30 transmits the corresponding emergency rescue message to the base station system by using the telephone number of the emergency report center as the called number to the terminal user. It is notified that an emergency has occurred (step S27). At this time, the emergency rescue message transmitted from the message transmitter 40 is transmitted to the emergency report center through the base station system and the mobile communication exchange, and the emergency rescue message is normally sent to the emergency report center. If it does not arrive, that is, if the response signal is not received from the emergency report center, the corresponding emergency rescue message is resent.

However, even if a terminal user cannot directly talk despite a normal conscious encounter with a thief, a robber, or a gangster, he drops his mobile communication terminal. In this way, the emergency situation can be notified in the above manner.

이상과 같이, 본 발명은 이동통신 단말기에 충격을 감지할 수 있는 충격 감지부를 내장하여 긴급상황 발생으로 인한 외부 충격을 감지하고, 이러한 외부 충격을 감지하는 경우 해당되는 긴급구난 메시지를 긴급신고센터 측에 자동으로 전송함으로써, 단말기 사용자에 의한 별도의 조작없이도 긴급신고센터에 긴급상황을 통보할 수 있게 된다.As described above, the present invention has a built-in shock detection unit that can detect a shock in the mobile communication terminal to detect an external shock due to the occurrence of an emergency, and when the external shock is detected, the emergency rescue message corresponding to the emergency report center side By automatically transmitting the information to the emergency report center, the emergency report center can be notified without any separate operation by the terminal user.

그리고, 본 발명은 단말기 사용자에 의한 별도의 조작없이도 긴급신고센터에 긴급상황을 통보할 수 있도록 함으로써, 긴급상황 발생으로 인해 정상적인 의식을 갖지 못한 경우 뿐 아니라 타의(도둑, 강도, 폭력배 등)에 의해 버튼 조작이나 긴급상황 설명 자체가 불가능한 경우에도 단말기 사용자에게 발생된 긴급상황을 긴급신고센터에 통보할 수 있게 된다.In addition, the present invention allows the emergency reporting center to be notified of the emergency situation without a separate operation by the user of the terminal, thereby not only having a normal consciousness due to the occurrence of the emergency situation, but also by another party (thief, robbery, thug, etc.). Even if the button operation or the emergency description itself is impossible, the terminal user can be notified of the emergency that occurred.

또한, 본 발명은 긴급상황 통보시에 긴급구난 메시지에 단말기 위치정보를 포함시켜 전송함으로써, 긴급상황에 처한 단말기 사용자의 정확한 위치를 파악할 수 있게 되고, 이를 통해 신속한 긴급구난 처리가 가능해 진다.In addition, the present invention, by including the terminal location information in the emergency rescue message when transmitting an emergency situation, it is possible to determine the exact location of the terminal user in an emergency situation, thereby enabling a quick emergency rescue process.
