Abstract
Mobile value-added services for smart phones enable users to enrich their daily lives. Recently, emergency rescue systems have been becoming imperative. However, the user interface of the traditional emergency rescue system is too, and many essential functions are not designed. This paper proposes an emergency rescue system on mobile devices. Mobile users can be fast rescued by sending SOS messages in SMS (Short Message Service) to their friends or family. Additionally, the SOS messages can also be posted on Social network such as Facebook. Specifically, the users can shake their mobile devices to send the SOS messages. Moreover, GPS information is contained in the SOS message such that the rescuers can fast and precisely find the location of the users. Therefore, the proposed framework is practical and necessary for the users to confront the future disasters.
