[0045] Step S2: Data transmission

[0046] Step S21: The communication interface 13 of the edge computing node 1 converts the data into a unified format through the communication protocol conversion module 14, and then sends it to the remote communication interface 22 of the emergency communication management center 2 through wireless data transmission (4G / 5G network).
