The processor (120) can obtain at least a portion of the sensing information from a wearable device (201, 203) worn by the user.

[0064] According to one embodiment, the processor (120) can determine an accident level indicating the degree of an accident and an emergency level indicating the degree of an emergency based on vehicle information obtained from the vehicle and sensing information detected by the electronic device (101).

[0065] According to one embodiment, the processor (120) may generate emergency rescue information based on the confirmed accident level and the confirmed emergency level, and transmit the generated emergency rescue information to the server (301) through the communication module (190).

[0066] According to one embodiment, the processor (120) may control the communication circuit (190) to transmit additional information (e.g., medical information of a user of the electronic device) to the server (301) for transmission to a specific external electronic device (e.g., a second external electronic device) retrieved from the server (301) based on a request for additional information from the server (301). The second external electronic device may be registered in an account related to emergency rescue and may be retrieved by the server (301) based on location information of the location where the accident occurred.

[0067] According to one embodiment, the processor (120) can generate different emergency rescue information based on the accident level and emergency level. According to one embodiment, if the accident level is the first accident level and the emergency level is the second emergency level or higher, the processor (120) can determine that the accident severity is a relatively large accident that generated an emergency call signal and that the passenger is in an abnormal state with injuries. Based on the first accident level and the first or second emergency level, the processor (120) can generate emergency rescue information and transmit the generated emergency rescue information.

[0068] According to one embodiment, if the accident level is the first accident level and the emergency level is the third emergency level, the processor (120) can determine that the accident is a relatively severe accident that generated an emergency call signal, but that the passengers are in a normal state with no injuries. Based on the first accident level, emergency rescue information can be generated and the generated emergency rescue information can be transmitted.

[0069] According to one embodiment, if the accident level is the second accident level and the response level is higher than the second emergency level, the processor (120) can determine that the accident is of a relatively moderate severity, in which no emergency call is generated and the impact detection is below the threshold, and that the passenger is in an abnormal state with injuries. Based on the second accident level and the first emergency level or the second emergency level, emergency rescue information can be generated and the generated emergency rescue information can be transmitted.

[0070] According to one embodiment, if the accident level is a second accident level and the emergency level is a third emergency level, the processor (120) can determine that the accident is of a relatively moderate severity, in which no emergency call is generated and the impact detection is below a threshold, and that the occupants are in a normal state with no injuries. The electronic device can generate emergency rescue information based on the second accident level and transmit the generated emergency rescue information.

[0071] According to one embodiment, if the accident level is a third accident level, the processor (120) can determine that the accident severity is such that an emergency call is not generated and an impact is not detected. According to one embodiment, if the accident level is a third accident level (e.g., a vehicle breakdown that does not affect the road, an accident or breakdown in which the passengers are in a normal state and can take action), the processor (120) does not generate and transmit emergency rescue information, but instead displays notification information on accident measures related to the third accident level on the display, and, if necessary, connects a call or transmits related information (e.g., breakdown information) to a registered contact (e.g., a repair shop or insurance company). For example, if the third accident level is a situation that affects the road, the accident information for the third accident level can be transmitted to the server. When the server receives the accident information for the third accident level, the server can determine that the situation affects the road, identify the accident location, and transmit notification information to electronic devices (e.g., electronic devices of passengers or navigation systems) in other vehicles driving at the accident location to guide them on the road conditions due to the accident.

[0082] Figure 7a is a diagram illustrating examples of accident levels and emergency levels according to one embodiment. Figures 7b and 7c are diagrams illustrating examples of emergency rescue information generated according to accident levels and emergency levels according to one embodiment.

[0083] Referring to FIG. 7A, according to one embodiment, an electronic device (101) (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIGS. 1 to 3) may set accident levels that distinguish the degree of an accident and emergency levels that distinguish the degree of emergency, and may configure the set accident levels and emergency levels in a table format and store them in advance in a memory (e.g., the memory (130) of FIG. 1). When the electronic device receives emergency rescue information from a server (e.g., the server (301) of FIG. 3), the electronic device may transmit the set accident levels and emergency levels to the server so that the accident level and emergency level for an accident that occurred based on the emergency rescue information can be confirmed. The configured electronic device (101) may receive the accident levels and emergency levels set from the server and store them in advance in the memory.

[0084] According to one embodiment, the accident levels may include a first accident level indicating a high-severity accident (e.g., a relatively large accident), a second accident level indicating a medium-severity accident, and a third accident level indicating a low-severity accident. The first accident level may indicate an accident severity in which an emergency call (e-call) signal is generated and a collision (e.g., an impact) occurs (e.g., a collision detection signal having a collision detection value greater than or equal to a threshold value is generated). The second accident level may indicate an accident severity in which an emergency call (e-call) signal is not generated or an e-call error occurs and a collision (e.g., an impact) occurs (e.g., a collision detection signal having a collision detection value less than or equal to a threshold value is generated). The third accident level may indicate an accident in which a collision (e.g., an impact) of a vehicle is not detected.

[0085] According to one embodiment, the emergency levels may include a first emergency level indicating a high-intensity emergency, a second emergency level indicating a medium-intensity emergency, and a third emergency level indicating a low-intensity emergency. The first emergency level may indicate a situation in which the passenger's injury is extremely critical, such as suspected death (e.g., unconscious) or a situation in which the passenger leaves the seat immediately after an accident and vital checks are not possible. The second emergency level may indicate a situation in which injury is suspected (e.g., DMS, OMS activated, vital check, conscious but limited movement). The third emergency level may indicate a situation in which there is no injury (e.g., vitals are normal, movement is present).

[0086] Referring to FIGS. 7B and 7C , according to one embodiment, an electronic device may generate emergency rescue information including different accident information and emergency information according to set accident levels and set emergency levels. According to one embodiment, the electronic device may preset types of accident information and emergency information to be included in emergency rescue information that are set differently according to set accident levels and set emergency levels, and preset emergency expert information to be transmitted to emergency experts. As illustrated in FIG. 7B , accident information may be divided and set into first accident information, second accident information, third accident information, and fourth accident information. Emergency information may be divided and set into first emergency information and second emergency information. The first accident information may include accident time, accident location, and evasive driving information. The second accident information may include information for providing guidance on the occurrence of a contact accident (minor impact), accident time, and accident location, and may include the first accident information. Third-party accident information may include information for locating injured persons or confirming the vehicle in which they were traveling, such as the location of the accident, the time of the accident, the type of vehicle, the license plate number, and the number of vehicles involved in a simultaneous accident, and may include first-party accident information. Fourth-party accident information may include information on the accident affecting the injury, the direction of the impact, the direction the vehicle rolled after the accident, whether it overturned, the location of the seat directly impacted, black box footage, and an e-call reporting number (to prevent duplicate reporting of the same accident), and may include third-party accident information. The information included in the first-party to fourth-party accident information is not limited to the information described above, and some information may be deleted or additional information may be added.

[0087] First emergency information may include the number of vehicle occupants and biometric information (e.g., pulse, blood pressure) for each occupant's location. Second emergency information may include personal information, name, blood type, medical history, allergies, medication information, and organ donation status, and may further include the first emergency information. Second emergency information may be automatically transmitted if a occupant is unconscious. The information included in the first and second emergency information is not limited to the information described above, and some information may be deleted or additional information may be added. Emergency specialist information may include emergency personnel information, including name and contact information, whether emergency procedures are accepted, and the details of emergency procedures.

[0088] Referring to FIG. 7C, an electronic device according to one embodiment may generate different emergency rescue information for each accident level (e.g., high, medium) and each emergency level (e.g., high, medium, low). According to one embodiment, if the identified accident level is a first accident level (e.g., high) and the identified emergency level is a first emergency level (e.g., high), the electronic device may generate emergency rescue information including fourth accident information corresponding to the first accident level and second emergency information corresponding to the first emergency level. The generated emergency rescue information may be transmitted to a server, and may be transmitted by the server to a first external electronic device (e.g., an electronic device or system of an emergency agency) and a part of a second external electronic device (e.g., an electronic device of an emergency professional registered to an account).

[0089] According to one embodiment, if the identified accident level is a first accident level and the identified emergency level is a second emergency level (e.g., medium), the electronic device may generate emergency rescue information including third accident information corresponding to the first accident level and first emergency information corresponding to the second emergency level. The generated emergency rescue information may be transmitted to a server, and transmitted by the server to a first external electronic device (e.g., an electronic device or system of an emergency agency) and a second external electronic device (e.g., an electronic device of an emergency professional registered to an account and an electronic device of a supporter).

[0090] In one embodiment, if the identified incident level is a first incident level and the identified emergency level is a third emergency level (e.g., low), the electronic device may generate emergency rescue information including second incident information corresponding to the first incident level. The generated emergency rescue information may be transmitted to a server, and then transmitted by the server to a second external electronic device (e.g., an electronic device of an emergency professional registered to the account and an electronic device of a supporter).

[0091] According to one embodiment, if the identified accident level is a second accident level (e.g., medium) and the identified emergency level is a first emergency level (e.g., high), the electronic device may generate emergency rescue information including second accident information corresponding to the second accident level and second emergency information corresponding to the first emergency level. The generated emergency rescue information may be transmitted to a server, and may be transmitted by the server to a first external electronic device (e.g., an electronic device or system of an emergency agency) and a part of a second external electronic device (e.g., an electronic device of an emergency professional registered to an account).

[0092] According to one embodiment, if the identified accident level is a second accident level and the identified emergency level is a second emergency level (e.g., medium), the electronic device may generate emergency rescue information including second accident information corresponding to the second accident level and first emergency information corresponding to the second emergency level. The generated emergency rescue information may be transmitted to a server, and transmitted by the server to a first external electronic device (e.g., an electronic device or system of an emergency agency) and a second external electronic device (e.g., an electronic device of an emergency professional registered to an account and an electronic device of a supporter).

[0093] In one embodiment, if the identified incident level is a second incident level and the identified emergency level is a third emergency level (e.g., low), the electronic device may generate emergency rescue information including first incident information corresponding to the second incident level. The generated emergency rescue information may be transmitted to a server, and then transmitted by the server to a second external electronic device (e.g., an electronic device of an emergency professional registered to the account and an electronic device of a supporter).

[0094] According to one embodiment, if the electronic device identifies the accident level as a third accident level where the severity of the accident does not require an emergency call and no impact is detected (e.g., a vehicle breakdown that does not affect the roadway, an accident or breakdown in which the occupants are in a normal state and can take action), the electronic device may not generate emergency rescue information. According to one embodiment, the electronic device may display, via a processor, notification information regarding accident measures related to the third accident level (e.g., low) on a display, and, if necessary, connect a call or transmit related information (e.g., breakdown information) to a registered contact (e.g., a repair shop or insurance company). For example, if the third accident level is a situation that affects the roadway, the accident information for the third accident level may be transmitted to a server. Upon receiving the accident information for the third accident level, the server may confirm that the situation affects the roadway, identify the accident location, and transmit notification information to electronic devices (e.g., occupants' electronic devices or navigation systems) in other vehicles driving at the accident location to guide them on the road conditions due to the accident.

[0095] An electronic device (e.g., an electronic device (101) of FIGS. 1 to 3) according to one embodiment may implement a software module (e.g., a program (140) of FIG. 1) for executing operations for emergency rescue.

[0124] Referring to FIG. 9, in operation 901, an electronic device according to an embodiment (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIGS. 1 to 3) may check whether the confirmed accident level is a first accident level indicating a high-intensity accident. If the determination result is the first accident level, the electronic device may perform operation 905, and if it is not the first or second accident level, the electronic device may perform operation 901. Here, the electronic device may receive an emergency call signal from the vehicle, and, based on vehicle information and sensing information, identify a high-intensity accident, thereby identifying a first accident level indicating a high-intensity accident among pre-designated accident levels. For example, the electronic device may identify the first accident level when a shock detection value included in the vehicle information (e.g., acquired based on the acceleration, angular velocity, or GPS value of the vehicle) and a shock detection value detected by the electronic device (e.g., acquired based on the acceleration, angular velocity, or GPS value of the electronic device) are equal to or greater than a designated threshold. According to one embodiment, when the electronic device detects a collision in the vehicle based on vehicle information and sensing information without receiving an emergency call signal from the vehicle, the electronic device may identify a second accident level indicating a low-severity accident among pre-designated accident levels. For example, the electronic device may identify a second accident level when an impact detection value included in the vehicle information (e.g., obtained based on acceleration, angular velocity, or GPS values ​​of the vehicle) and an impact detection value detected by the electronic device (e.g., obtained based on acceleration, angular velocity, or GPS values ​​of the electronic device) are less than a designated threshold. According to one embodiment, when the electronic device determines a third accident level, other than the first or second accident levels, in operation 901, the electronic device may not generate emergency rescue information.

[0125] In operation 903, if the electronic device identifies the accident as the first accident level, it can determine that the accident is of relatively high intensity and determine whether the emergency level is higher than the second emergency level. If the result of the determination is an emergency situation of the second emergency level or higher, the electronic device can perform operation 907, and if not, it can perform operation 911. According to one embodiment, the electronic device can determine the emergency level of a vehicle occupant. If there are multiple occupants in the vehicle, the emergency level can be determined for each occupant. For example, the electronic device can obtain information for determining the emergency of other occupants (e.g., at least one of movement information, biometric information, audio information, or position change information) from the electronic devices of other occupants or from the vehicle in addition to the owner of the electronic device, and can determine the emergency level of other occupants based on the obtained information. In another example, the emergency level of other occupants can be directly determined from the electronic devices owned by other occupants.

[0126] In operation 905 (operation 903 - No), the electronic device can determine whether the emergency level is a third emergency level lower than the second emergency level. If the determination result is a third emergency level, in operation 907, the electronic device can identify the situation as requiring attention.

[0127] In Action 909 (Action 903 - Example), the electronic device can determine that an emergency situation is at least level 2 emergency.

[0128] In operation 911, the electronic device may generate emergency rescue information according to the accident level and / or emergency level, and transmit the generated emergency rescue information to the server. According to one embodiment, if the electronic device confirms an emergency situation of emergency level 2 or higher in operation 907, in operation 911, the electronic device may generate emergency rescue information including accident information corresponding to the first accident level (e.g., fourth accident information or third accident information) and emergency information corresponding to the first or second emergency level (e.g., first emergency information or second emergency information) differently according to the emergency level, and transmit the generated emergency rescue information to the server.

[0129] According to one embodiment, when the electronic device identifies a situation requiring attention in operation 905, in operation 911, it may generate emergency rescue information that does not include emergency information but includes different accident information (e.g., first accident information or second accident information) for each accident level, and transmit the generated emergency rescue information to a server.

[0130] According to one embodiment, the electronic device identifies a third accident level, which indicates a relatively low accident severity, and, by comparing vehicle information and sensing information, if the accident determination criteria match or both the vehicle information and sensing information satisfy the accident determination criteria, the electronic device can identify the third accident level. For example, the electronic device can compare vehicle information and sensing information and, if the accident determination criteria do not match or neither the vehicle information nor the sensing information satisfy the accident determination criteria, determine that no accident has occurred.

[0131] FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of an operating method in an electronic device according to one embodiment. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 10, the specific operating methods of operations 805 and 807 of FIG. 8 described above will be described.

[0132] Referring to FIG. 10, in operation 1001, an electronic device according to one embodiment (e.g., the electronic device (101) of FIGS. 1 to 3) can check an accident level for a current accident among pre-designated accident levels based on vehicle information and sensing information, and can check an emergency level for a current accident among pre-designated emergency levels.

[0133] The electronic device can generate emergency rescue information based on the identified accident level or emergency level, as described below, and transmit the generated rescue information to the server. Operations 1003 to 1009 described below may be performed in parallel and not sequentially.

[0134] In operation 1003, if the accident level is the first accident level and the emergency level is the second emergency level or higher, the electronic device can determine that the accident severity is a relatively large accident that has generated an emergency call signal, and that the occupant is in an abnormal state with injuries. Based on the first accident level and the first or second emergency level, emergency rescue information can be generated and the generated emergency rescue information can be transmitted.

[0135] In operation 1005, if the accident level is level 1 and the emergency level is level 3, the electronic device can determine that the accident is a relatively severe accident that has generated an emergency call signal, but the occupants are in a normal state with no injuries. Based on the level 1 accident and level 3 emergency, emergency rescue information can be generated and the generated emergency rescue information can be transmitted.

[0136] In operation 1007, if the accident level is the second accident level and the response level is higher than the second emergency level, the electronic device can determine that the accident severity is a relatively moderate accident in which an emergency call is not generated and the impact detection occurs below the threshold, and that the occupant is in an abnormal state with injuries. Based on the second accident level and the first emergency level or the second emergency level, emergency rescue information can be generated and the generated emergency rescue information can be transmitted.

[0137] In operation 1009, if the accident level is Level 2 and the emergency level is Level 3, the electronic device can determine that the accident is of a relatively moderate severity, with no emergency call generated and impact detection below a threshold, and that the occupants are in a normal state with no injuries. Based on the Level 2 accident, the electronic device can generate emergency rescue information and transmit the generated emergency rescue information.

[0138] In operation 1011, if the accident level is a Level 3 accident, the electronic device can determine that the accident severity is such that an emergency call is not generated and no impact is detected. If the accident level is a Level 3 accident (e.g., a vehicle breakdown that does not affect the road, an accident or breakdown in which the occupants are in a normal state and can take action), the electronic device may not generate and transmit emergency rescue information, but may display notification information regarding accident measures related to the Level 3 accident on the display and, if necessary, connect a call or transmit related information (e.g., breakdown information) to a registered contact (e.g., a repair shop or insurance company). For example, if the Level 3 accident affects the road, the accident information for the Level 3 accident may be transmitted to the server. Upon receiving the Level 3 accident information, the server may determine that the accident affects the road, identify the accident location, and transmit notification information to electronic devices (e.g., occupants' electronic devices or navigation systems) in other vehicles driving at the accident location to provide guidance on the road conditions resulting from the accident.
