Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of terminal technology, and in particular to a communication method and related devices for rescue. Background Art

[0002] In people's lives and work, when there is no network (including cellular network and wireless local area network (WLAN)) signal or the network signal is weak, communication between terminals is difficult. Satellite communication has a wide communication range and does not require a network. Therefore, the more there is no network signal or the network signal is weak, the more important satellite communication is. For example, in the event of a large-scale disaster (such as floods, earthquakes, fires), terminal devices within the disaster area may be in a state of no network signal, and satellite communication plays an important role at this time.

[0003] At present, some terminals have the ability to conduct satellite communications. In the event of an emergency and the need to request help from others, the user can use the terminal to send a distress message to a communication friend via satellite. After the communication friend views the user's distress message, the communication friend contacts the rescue center to rescue the user. However, this method of seeking help is relatively simple. If the communication friend fails to view the distress message or contact the rescue center in time, the rescue may not be timely. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a communication method and related devices for rescue, in order to alleviate the problem of untimely rescue.

[0005] On the first aspect, the present application provides a communication method for rescue, which can be executed by a first terminal of the person in need of help, or by a component configured in the first terminal (such as a chip, a chip system, etc.), or by a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the functions of the first terminal. The present application does not limit this.

[0006] Exemplarily, the method includes: generating a message, the message including a distress message and information of a recipient, the recipient including a rescue center and at least one communication friend, the distress message is used to request rescue of the person in distress; sending the message to a server via a satellite, the server being used to send the distress message to the recipient.

[0007] In the above technical solution, when a user encounters an emergency and needs help from others, he can not only use the terminal to send a distress message to at least one communication friend, but also send a distress message to the rescue center, so that he can directly contact the rescue center, which can alleviate the problem of delayed rescue. Moreover, by asking for help from multiple parties at the same time, it is beneficial for users to obtain more timely and comprehensive assistance.

[0008] In combination with the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, the recipient's information includes an identifier for identifying the rescue center and a communication account of the at least one communication friend.

[0009] Based on the identifier for identifying the rescue center, the server is informed that the distress message needs to be sent not only to the at least one communication friend but also to the rescue center.

[0010] In combination with the first aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect, before generating the message, the method further includes: displaying a user interface, where the user interface is used for the person in need of help to edit the help message and specify a recipient.

[0011] On the second aspect, the present application provides a communication method for rescue, which can be executed by a server, or by a component configured in the server (such as a chip, a chip system, etc.), or by a logic module or software that can implement all or part of the server functions. The present application does not limit this.

[0012] Exemplarily, the method includes: receiving a message from a first terminal via a satellite, the message including a distress message and information of a receiver, the receiver including a rescue center and at least one communication friend, the distress message being used to request rescue of the person in distress; and sending the distress message to the receiver.

[0013] In the above technical solution, after receiving the message from the first terminal, the server can know that it is necessary not only to send the distress information included in the message to the at least one communication friend of the person in need of help, but also to send the distress information to the rescue center, so that the person in need of help can directly contact the rescue center, which can alleviate the problem of delayed rescue. Moreover, by asking for help from multiple parties at the same time, it is beneficial for users to obtain more timely and comprehensive assistance.

[0014] In combination with the second aspect, in some possible implementations of the second aspect, the recipient's information includes an identifier for identifying a rescue center and a communication account of the at least one communication friend; the method also includes: based on the recipient's information, determining that the recipient includes the rescue center and the at least one communication friend.

[0015] In combination with the second aspect, in some possible implementations of the second aspect, there are multiple rescue centers, and the method also includes: based on the location information of the person in need of help and the location information of multiple rescue centers stored in advance, determining the rescue center closest to the location of the person in need of help as the target rescue center; sending the distress message to the recipient, including: sending the distress message to the target rescue center and the at least one communication friend.

[0016] The server can send the rescue information of the rescue person to the rescue center closest to the rescue person based on the rescue person's location information. The rescue center closest to the rescue person takes relatively less time to reach the rescue person's location, which can reduce the time the rescue person has to wait for rescue, further alleviating the problem of untimely rescue.

[0017] In combination with the first aspect and the second aspect, in some possible implementations of the first aspect and the second aspect, the distress message indicates the location information of the person seeking help, and one or more of the following: the emergency situation encountered by the person seeking help, the physical condition of the person seeking help, or the number of people traveling with the person seeking help.

[0018] The rescue center and at least one communication friend can obtain information such as the emergency situation encountered by the person in need of rescue, the physical condition of the person in need of rescue, or the number of people traveling with the person in need of rescue through the distress message, so that the rescue center or the rescue center contacted by at least one communication friend can prepare appropriate medical supplies and equipment based on this information, and can provide targeted rescue to the person in need of rescue, thereby improving the success rate of the rescue.

[0039] The technical solution in this application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0040] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present application, the following description is first made:

[0041] First, in this application, in order to facilitate the clear description of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, the words "first", "second", etc. are used to distinguish the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and effects. For example, the first terminal, the second terminal, and the third terminal are only used to distinguish different terminals, and their order is not limited. Those skilled in the art can understand that the words "first", "second", and "third" do not limit the quantity and execution order, and the words "first", "second", and "third" do not necessarily limit them.

[0042] Second, in this application, "at least one" means one or more, and "more than one" means two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone, where A and B can be singular or plural. The character " / " generally indicates that the previous and next associated objects are in an "or" relationship, but it does not exclude the situation where the previous and next associated objects are in an "and" relationship. The specific meaning can be understood in combination with the context. "At least one of the following" or similar expressions refers to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or plural items. For example, at least one of a, b, or c can mean: a, b, c; a and b; a and c; b and c; or a and b and c. Where a, b, c can be single or multiple.

[0043] Third, in the present application, "when...", "in the case of...", "if" and "if" all mean that the device will take corresponding actions under certain objective circumstances, but do not limit the time, nor do they require that the device must have a judgment action when it is implemented, nor do they mean that there are other limitations.

[0044] Fourth, in this application, "send" and "receive" refer to the direction of transmission of information, messages, signals or messages.

[0045] For example, "the first terminal sends a message to the server" can be understood as the destination end of the message is the server, and the source end is the first terminal. In the present application, "the first terminal sends a message to the server" may include "the first terminal sends a message to the server via a satellite". For example, the first terminal sends a message to the satellite, the satellite sends the message to the ground station, and the ground station sends the message to the server.

[0046] For another example, “the server receives a message from the first terminal” can be understood as the source of the message is the first terminal and the destination is the server, and “the server receives a message from the first terminal” may include “the server receives a message from the first terminal via a satellite”, for example, the first terminal sends a message to the satellite, the satellite sends the message to the ground station, and the ground station sends the message to the server.

[0047] It is understandable that information, messages, signals or messages may be processed by necessary means, such as encoding and modulation, before being sent from the source end to the destination end. After receiving the message from the source end, the destination end may also perform corresponding processing, such as decoding and demodulation, so as to interpret the valid information from the source end. Similar expressions in this application can be understood similarly and will not be repeated.

[0048] In addition, the present application does not limit the type of satellite. For example, the satellite may be a Beidou satellite.

[0049] Fifth, the storage involved in this application may refer to storage in one or more memories.

[0050] Exemplarily, in the present application, the server may store location information of multiple rescue centers.

[0051] The one or more memories may be separately set or integrated in an encoder, decoder, processor, or device. The one or more memories may also be partially separately set and partially integrated in a decoder, processor, or device. The type of memory may be any form of storage medium, which is not limited in this application.

[0052] In people's lives and work, when there is no network (including cellular network and WLAN) signal or the network signal is weak, communication between terminals is difficult. Satellite communication has a wide communication range and does not require a network. Therefore, the more there is no network signal or the network signal is weak, the more important satellite communication is. For example, in the event of a large-scale disaster (such as floods, earthquakes, fires), terminal devices within the disaster area may be without network signals. At this time, satellite communication plays an important role.

[0053] At present, some terminals have the ability to conduct satellite communications. In the event of an emergency and the need to request help from others, the user can use the terminal to send a distress message to a communication friend via satellite. After the communication friend views the user's distress message, the communication friend contacts the rescue center to rescue the user. However, this method of seeking help is relatively simple. If the communication friend fails to view the distress message or contact the rescue center in time, the rescue may not be timely.

[0054] In response to the above problems, the present application provides a communication method for rescue. The R&D personnel open an official communication account for the rescue center and provide a client for the rescue center. That is, by pre-storing relevant information such as the communication account and location of the rescue center in the server, when the user encounters an emergency and needs rescue from others, he can not only use the terminal to send a distress message to the communication friends, but also send a distress message to the rescue center. In this way, the user can directly contact the rescue center, which can alleviate the problem of untimely rescue.

[0055] Before introducing the communication method for rescue provided by the present application, the terminal and communication system applicable to the communication method for rescue provided by the present application are described below.

[0056] The terminal in the present application may also be referred to as user equipment (UE), access terminal, user unit, user station, mobile station, mobile station, remote station, remote terminal, mobile device, user terminal, terminal equipment, wireless communication equipment, user agent or user device, etc., which is not limited to the embodiments of the present application.

[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, the types of terminals include, but are not limited to: mobile phones, tablet computers, computers with wireless transceiver functions (such as laptops, PDAs, etc.), mobile Internet devices (MID), virtual reality (VR) devices, augmented reality (AR) devices, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in self-driving, wireless terminals in remote medical, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes, cellular phones, cordless phones, session initiation protocol (SIP) phones, wireless local loop (WLL) stations, personal digital assistants (PDAs), handheld devices with wireless communication functions, computing devices or other processing devices connected to wireless modems, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, fifth generation (5th generation) The present invention relates to terminals in the 5G generation (5G) network or terminals in the future evolved public land mobile network (PLMN), laptop computers, machine type communication (MTC) terminals, etc.

[0058] In addition, the terminal can also be a terminal in the Internet of Things (IoT) system. IoT is an important part of the future development of information technology. Its main technical feature is to connect objects to the network through communication technology, thereby realizing an intelligent network of human-machine interconnection and object-to-object interconnection. IoT technology can achieve massive connections, deep coverage, and terminal power saving through narrow band (NB) technology, for example.

[0059] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the hardware structure of the terminal provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 Describe in detail the possible hardware structure of the terminal.

[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the terminal 100 may include a processor 101, a transceiver 102, a memory 103, an antenna 104, a power supply 105, an input unit 106, a display unit 107, an audio circuit 108, a camera 109, a sensor 110, and a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) module 111, etc. The audio circuit 108 may include a speaker 108a, a microphone 108b, etc.

[0061] The processor 101 may include one or more processing units, for example, the processor 101 may include one or more of an application processor (AP), a microcontroller unit (MCU), a modem processor, a graphics processing unit (GPU), an image signal processor (ISP), a controller, a memory, a video codec, a digital signal processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and a neural-network processing unit (NPU). Different processing units may be independent devices or integrated into one or more processors.

[0062] The memory 103 can be used to store computer executable program codes, which include instructions. The processor 101 executes various functional applications and data processing of the terminal 100 by running the instructions stored in the memory 103. The memory 103 may include a program storage area and a data storage area. Among them, the program storage area can store an operating system, and at least one application required for a function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.). The data storage area can store data created during the use of the terminal 100 (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.). In addition, the memory 103 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash storage (UFS), etc.

[0063] The processor 101, the transceiver 102 and the memory 103 can communicate with each other through an internal connection path to transmit control and / or data signals. The processor 101 is used to call and run the computer program stored in the memory 103 to control the transceiver 102 to send and receive signals.

[0064] The antenna 104 is used to transmit the data or signaling output by the transceiver 102. The power supply 105 is used to provide power to various devices or circuits in the terminal 100.

[0065] The input unit 106 is used to receive content input by a user.

[0066] Exemplarily, in the present application, when terminal 100 is the first terminal, input unit 106 may receive the distress information and / or recipient input by the rescuer, thereby facilitating the first terminal to generate a message carrying the distress information and recipient information.

[0067] It should be understood that the user can input through voice or manual input, so the input unit 106 can be used to receive the content of the user's voice input, and can also be used to receive the content of the user's manual input, which is not limited in this application.

[0068] The display unit 107 can be used to display text, images, videos, etc.

[0069] In the present application, when the terminal 100 is a first terminal, the display unit 107 can be used to display at least one user interface, which is used by the rescuer to edit the distress information and specify the recipient; when the terminal 100 is a device of the rescue center (including but not limited to a terminal or a server, for the convenience of description, the second terminal is described as an example of the rescue center device below) or a third terminal of a communication friend, the display unit 107 can be used to display the distress information received from the first terminal, for example, the location information of the rescuer, the emergency situation encountered by the rescuer, the physical condition of the rescuer, or the number of people traveling with the rescuer. As an example and not a limitation, the location distribution of the rescuer and the reporting time of the distress message and other related information can be displayed in the form of a map, or the location distribution of the rescuer and the reporting time of the distress message and other related information can be displayed in the form of text, and the present application does not limit the display form.

[0070] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the architecture of a communication system applicable to the communication method for rescue provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0071] like Figure 2As shown, the communication system for rescue includes a first terminal and a server for the rescue personnel, wherein the first terminal and the server can communicate through a satellite (including but not limited to Beidou satellite). In more detail, in a possible implementation, the first terminal can send a message to the satellite, and the satellite can forward the message to a satellite ground station (which can be referred to as a ground station), and then the ground station forwards the message to the server. Among them, the satellite can forward the received signal after amplification, frequency conversion and other processes, and there is no need to perform other processing on the signal. It is not difficult to understand that in the present application, the transmission between the first terminal and the server is not point-to-point, but communication is achieved through satellite.

[0072] Optionally, the communication system may also include a second terminal of the rescue center and a third terminal of the communication friend. When the server receives the message forwarded via the satellite, it may parse the message to obtain the distress information of the rescued person and the information of the recipient. When it is determined that the recipient in the message includes the rescue center, the server may send the distress information to the second terminal of the rescue center, and accordingly, the second terminal may receive the distress information from the server; when it is determined that the recipient in the message includes the communication friend, the server may send the distress information to the third terminal of the communication friend, and accordingly, the third terminal may also receive the distress information from the server.

[0073] Understandably, Figure 2 The communication system shown is only an example and should not constitute any limitation to the embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 Only one first terminal, one second terminal and one third terminal are shown in the figure, but in actual application, more first terminals, second terminals and third terminals may be included. For another example, Figure 2 Only one server is shown in the figure, but in actual application, the server involved in this application can be a physical device, a server cluster composed of multiple physical devices, or a cloud server, which is not limited in this application.

[0074] Figure 3 300 is a schematic flow chart of a communication method for rescue provided in an embodiment of the present application. The following describes each step in method 300 in detail.

[0075] In step 310, the first terminal device generates a message, which includes a distress message and information about a recipient, where the recipient includes a rescue center and at least one communication friend.

[0076] It can be understood that the first terminal is the terminal of the person in need of help, and the help information is used to request rescue for the person in need of help.

[0077] The rescue centers involved in this application may include but are not limited to official rescue centers (such as the National Safety Production Emergency Rescue Center, etc.), medical stations, private public welfare rescue organizations (such as the Blue Sky Rescue Team, etc.), etc.

[0078] The communication friend involved in this application may refer to a person whose communication account (including but not limited to mobile phone number) the person seeking help knows. It may be a person corresponding to the communication account pre-stored in the first terminal by the person seeking help, or it may be a person corresponding to the communication account that the person seeking help can input into the first terminal, and it is not limited whether the communication friend knows who the person seeking help is.

[0079] In a possible implementation, the distress message may indicate the location information of the person seeking help, and one or more of the following: the emergency situation encountered by the person seeking help, the physical condition of the person seeking help, or the number of people traveling with the person seeking help.

[0080] The location information includes but is not limited to longitude and latitude information. The emergency situations encountered by the rescuer include heat stroke, getting lost, landslide, earthquake, tsunami, avalanche, etc. The physical condition of the rescuer includes fracture, dizziness, inability to walk, etc.

[0081] The person seeking help can edit the help information on the user interface of the first terminal. Editing the help information includes but is not limited to inputting or selecting the location information of the person seeking help, the emergency situation encountered by the person seeking help, the physical condition of the person seeking help, or the number of people traveling with the person seeking help on the user interface.

[0082] The person seeking help can specify a recipient on the user interface of the first terminal. Specifying a recipient includes but is not limited to inputting or selecting a recipient.

[0083] The recipient's information includes an identifier for identifying a rescue center and a communication account of at least one communication buddy.

[0084] The first terminal may generate a message based on the help information edited by the help-seeking person and the designated recipient.

[0085] In a possible implementation, before generating the message, the method 300 further includes: the first terminal displays a user interface, where the user interface is used for the person seeking help to edit the help message and designate a recipient.

[0086] Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of the user interface of the first terminal provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0087] Exemplarily, before generating the message, the first terminal may display the following Figure 4 The user interface shown.

[0088] In the absence of a cellular network and a WLAN network, the person seeking help can open a user interface for creating a new message, and the first terminal can display, in response to the person seeking help opening the user interface for creating a new message, Figure 4 The user interface for creating a new message as shown in a) is provided, so that the person seeking help can edit the help information and specify the recipient on the interface.

[0089] The following first combines Figure 4 This section describes how a person seeking help can specify a recipient.

[0090] For example, the rescuer can Figure 4 a) in the "Send to:" text box, output at least one communication account of a communication friend, such as a mobile phone number, or click the communication friend icon in the "Send to:" text box, and the first terminal can respond to the operation of the rescuer clicking the communication friend icon, displaying Figure 4 b) of the communication friend list user interface, it can be understood that the communication accounts of the communication friends (such as communication friend 1, communication friend 2, communication friend 3, communication friend 4 and communication friend 5) displayed in the communication friend list user interface are the communication accounts pre-stored by the person seeking help in the first terminal. The person seeking help can check whoever he wants to send the help message to, such as Figure 4 As shown in b), the person asking for help wants to send the help message to communication friend 1, communication friend 3 and communication friend 5, and can check the box behind communication friend 1, communication friend 3 and communication friend 5 to specify that the help message will be sent to communication friend 1, communication friend 3 and communication friend 5, so that the information of the recipient included in the message generated by the first terminal will include the communication account of communication friend 1, communication friend 3 and communication friend 5; at the same time, if the person asking for help also wants to send the help message to the rescue center, the person asking for help can check the box as follows Figure 4 In the user interface of the new message shown in a), the rescue center check box is checked to specify that the distress message is sent to the rescue center, so that the recipient information included in the message generated by the first terminal will include an identifier for identifying the rescue center. It should be understood that in actual applications, the rescue center check box may not be Figure 4 is shown in a) of Figure 4 b), that is, the person seeking help can check the rescue center in the user interface of the communication friend list to specify that the help message will be sent to the rescue center. This application does not make any limitation to this.

[0091] The following combined Figure 4 The following describes how a person seeking help can edit a help message.

[0092] For example, the rescuer can Figure 4In a) of the new message user interface, the "Quick Help" mode is selected, and the first terminal can display the relevant optional content of the pre-stored help information, such as emergency situation, physical condition or number of companions, etc. Figure 4 a), the options for emergency situations may include but are not limited to heat stroke, getting lost, earthquake, being young, landslide or avalanche, etc.; the options for physical conditions may include but are not limited to fractures, dizziness or inability to walk, etc., and this application does not impose any restrictions on this. Regarding the number of people traveling with you, the person seeking help can enter it by himself or adjust it by clicking "-" or "+". It is understandable that the minimum number of people traveling with you is 0, and there is no maximum limit. The person seeking help can also enter the number of people traveling with you in the form of a phone number. Figure 4 a) In the new message user interface, select the option to carry the location so that the distress message contains the location information of the person in need of help, which is convenient for the recipient to know the location information of the person in need of help, so as to carry out rescue work on the person in need of help. It should be understood that in some possible implementations, the person in need of help can also Figure 4 a) The user interface for creating a new message uses a text box called “SOS Message” to input message content, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0093] In step 320, the first terminal sends the message to the server via the satellite. Correspondingly, the server receives the message from the first terminal via the satellite.

[0094] After generating the message, the first terminal may send the message to the server via a satellite. For example, the first terminal sends the message to a satellite, the satellite sends the message to a ground station, and the ground station sends the message to the server.

[0095] In step 330, the server sends a distress message to the recipient.

[0096] After receiving the message, the server can parse the message to obtain the information of the recipient and the distress message, so that the distress message can be sent to the recipient. It can be understood that sending the distress message to the recipient means sending the distress message to the recipient's device. For example, when the recipient includes a rescue center and at least one communication friend, the distress message is sent to the rescue center's device (such as the second terminal) and the distress message is also sent to the at least one communication friend's device (such as the third terminal).

[0097] In a possible implementation, when the recipient's information includes an identifier for identifying a rescue center and a communication account of at least one communication friend, method 300 further includes: the server determines, based on the recipient's information, that the recipient includes a rescue center and at least one communication friend.

[0098] That is to say, after parsing the message, the server obtains the recipient's information, and the server can further analyze the recipient's information. When the recipient's information includes an identifier for identifying the rescue center, it can be determined that the recipient includes the rescue center, that is, it is necessary to send the distress message to the rescue center. When the recipient's information also includes the communication account of at least one communication friend, it can be determined that the recipient also includes the at least one communication friend, that is, it is also necessary to send the distress message to the at least one communication friend.

[0099] In a possible implementation, there are multiple rescue centers, and method 300 also includes: the server determines the rescue center closest to the location of the person in need of help as the target rescue center based on the location information of the person in need of help and the location information of multiple rescue centers stored in advance; the server sends a distress message to the recipient, including: the server sends the distress message to the target rescue center and the at least one communication friend.

[0100] As mentioned above, the R&D personnel can open an official communication account for the rescue center and provide the rescue center with a client, that is, the server pre-stores the communication account and location of at least one rescue center. The rescue information includes the location information of the rescuer.

[0101] In the case where the location information of multiple rescue centers is pre-stored in the server, after receiving the message and parsing the message to obtain the location information of the person in need of rescue, the server can analyze the location information of the person in need of rescue and the location information of the multiple rescue centers stored in advance, and determine which rescue center among the multiple rescue centers is closest to the location of the person in need of rescue, thereby taking the rescue center closest to the location of the person in need of rescue as the target rescue center, and sending the rescue information of the person in need of rescue to the target rescue center, that is, sending the rescue information of the person in need of rescue to the equipment (including but not limited to the server or terminal) of the target rescue center.

[0102] Optionally, the rescue centers can be labeled with corresponding labels according to the rescue fields that different rescue centers are good at. That is, in addition to storing the communication account and location of the rescue center on the server, the labels corresponding to the rescue center can also be stored. In this way, after receiving the distress message sent by the rescuer, the server can determine one or more rescue centers with corresponding labels that match the information according to the emergency situation encountered by the rescuer and / or the physical condition of the rescuer, and then determine the rescue center closest to the rescuer from the one or more rescue centers according to the location of the rescuer and the location of the one or more rescue centers, and use the rescue center as the target rescue center to send the rescue message of the rescuer to the target rescue center. This application does not make any limitation to this.

[0103] As mentioned above, R&D personnel can open an official communication account for the rescue center and provide a client for the rescue center, that is, by pre-storing the rescue center's communication account and location and other related information in the server, so that when encountering an emergency and needing rescue from others, the rescuer can not only use the first terminal to send a distress message to the communication friend, but also send a distress message to the rescue center, and can directly contact the rescue center, which can alleviate the problem of delayed rescue. Moreover, by asking for help from multiple parties at the same time, it is beneficial for users to obtain more timely and comprehensive assistance.

[0104] In addition, the server can also send the rescue information of the rescue person to the rescue center closest to the rescue person based on the rescue person's location information. The rescue center closest to the rescue person takes relatively less time to reach the rescue person's location, which can reduce the time the rescue person has to wait for rescue, further alleviating the problem of untimely rescue.

[0105] Furthermore, the rescue center and at least one communication friend can obtain information such as the emergency situation encountered by the person in need of rescue, the physical condition of the person in need of rescue, or the number of people traveling with the person in need of rescue through the distress message, so that the rescue center or the rescue center contacted by at least one communication friend can prepare appropriate medical supplies and equipment based on this information, and can provide targeted rescue to the person in need of rescue, thereby improving the success rate of the rescue.

[0106] The following combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 The user interfaces of the second terminal and the third terminal are briefly described respectively.

[0111] The information of the person seeking help may include but is not limited to the communication account of the person seeking help (including but not limited to the mobile phone number). If the communication friend has pre-stored the communication account and remark information (including but not limited to the name) of the person seeking help, the information of the person seeking help may also include the remark information of the communication friend on the person seeking help, that is, in addition to displaying the communication account of the person seeking help, the user interface of the message details may also display the remark information of the person seeking help, such as Figure 6 The information of the person asking for help shown in the figure is "Li Si 132-****-****".

[0112] The content of the message corresponds to the distress information of the person in need of help, and the content of the message may include the location information of the person in need of help, and one or more of the following: the emergency situation encountered by the person in need of help, the physical condition of the person in need of help, or the number of people traveling with the person in need of help. The user interface of the message details may also utilize a map plug-in to display a map containing the location of the person in need of help, so that the communication friend may utilize the map plug-in to view the specific location of the person in need of help. In addition, the longitude and latitude of the person in need of help and the address details corresponding to the longitude and latitude may also be displayed in text form, for example, Figure 6 The "location information 41°24′12″N 2°10′26″E address details **province**city**county**town**village**" shown in the message details is not limited in this application. In the user interface of the message details, the communication friend can also click the reply button at the bottom of the interface to reply to the help information of the help-seeking person, and this application does not limit this in any way.

[0113] Understandably, the rescue center staff clicked such Figure 5 The abbreviated content of the help message shown can also be jumped to Figure 6 The user interface of the message details shown, that is, the equipment of the rescue center can also display the following Figure 6 The user interface of the message details shown is not limited in this application.
