Abstract
The present invention relates to system and method for informing a critical situation by using network, to ask for help about present danger to Crime Prevention Center. When a user is facing a dangerous person, the user inputs images or a voice of the dangerous person to ask for help using an image input apparatus in a stealthy way. Then, the image input apparatus automatically transmits the inputted image data and/or voice data as well as present position data of the user to a security system. Thereby, the user can inform the security system of his danger even if the user is having difficulty in inputting an alarm button or is on his movement, and can operate the image input apparatus at will without limitation of position.
Claims27
A method of informing an emergency situation using a communication network, comprising:
- generating image data indicative of an emergency situation, associated with a user, in response to the user's image input request;
- converting the image data into a form which is communicable over a mobile wireless communication network;
- and
- transmitting the image data to a portable terminal via a wired network or a wireless local area network,
- wherein the portable terminal transmits the image data via the mobile wireless communication network to a security system, and the portable terminal comprises at least one of a mobile wireless communication terminal, a personal computer and a PDA (personal digital assistant).
A method of informing an emergency situation using a communication network, comprising:
- receiving image data indicative of an emergency situation, associated with a user, via a mobile communication network, wherein the image data are transmitted from at least one of a portable terminal and an image input apparatus coupled to a vehicle;
- searching information corresponding to the user, wherein the user information comprises at least one of the user's telephone number and IP address;
- obtaining the user's location;
- converting the location into location data which is communicable over the mobile communication network;
- and
- transmitting the image data and the location data to a security system.

- an image generator configured to generate image data indicative of an emergency situation, associated with a user, in response to the user's image input request;
- a converter configured to convert the image data into a form which is communicable over a mobile communication network;
- and
- a transmitter configured to transmit the image data to a portable terminal via a wired network or a wireless local area network,
- wherein the portable terminal transmits the image data over the mobile communication network to a security system.
A system for informing an emergency situation using a communication network, the system comprising:
- means for receiving an image data indicative of an emergency situation from at least one of a portable terminal and an image input apparatus via a communication network;
- means for storing the image data;
- means for displaying the image data;
- and
- means for utilizing the data to inform a security staff of the emergency situation,
- wherein the image data is stored automatically or in response to an image storage command initiated by a security staff.
