Emergency communication method and apparatus

An emergency communication device, comprising:

• at least one processor, and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor,
• wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions being configured to:
• receive an emergency communication request issued from a calling device for a called device;
• search for communication devices within a set range of the called device;
• select, from communication devices found in the searching, a communication device having an emergency communication auxiliary function which is in an on state as an auxiliary device;
• and
• establish a communication connection between the calling device and the auxiliary device, so that a user of the calling device communicates with a user of the called device through the auxiliary device;
• wherein the instructions is configured to, prior to searching for communication devices within the set range of the called device:
• determining a first correlation value between the calling device and the called device, and allowing emergency communication between the calling device and the called device when the first correlation value is greater than a first preset correlation threshold,
• wherein the first correlation value is A when the calling device and the called device are each other's emergency contact, the first correlation value is B when one of the calling device and the called device is an emergency contact of the other party, and the first correlation value is C when the calling device and the called device are not the emergency contact of the other party, and A is greater than B, and B is greater than C.
