Method of Providing Alarm Service Upon Movement Out of Safety Zone
First Claim
1. A method of providing alarm service upon movement out of a safety zone using a base station-based positioning scheme in a mobile communication network, the mobile communication network including a service providing server that is connected to a home location registration unit, a visitor location registration unit, and an Internet to execute safety zone setting, detection and an alarm upon movement out of the safety zone, the method comprising:
- a first step of acquiring past location registration information of a ward'"'"'s mobile terminal designated by a subscriber (guardian), the past location registration information being base station identifiers associated with base stations in which past locations of the ward'"'"'s mobile terminal have previously been registered;
a second step of setting an observation region including a region or a point designated by a subscriber;
a third step of checking base stations within the observation region among the base stations where past locations of the ward'"'"'s mobile have been registered;
a fourth step of storing information about the base stations existing within the observation region, to a my base station DataBase (DB) allocated to the ward;
a fifth step of checking current location information at the time of observation request, the current location information being a base station identifier associated with a base station in which a current location of the ward'"'"'s mobile terminal is registered;
a sixth step of judging whether the current location information has been stored in the My Base Station DB;
a seventh step of judging whether the ward has moved out of the safety zone when the current location information has not been stored in the My Base Station DB and notifying the subscriber of the movement; and
an eighth step of periodically checking a location of the ward'"'"'s mobile terminal when the current location information has been stored in the My Base Station DB.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a method of providing alarm service upon movement out of a safety zone in a mobile communication network. The method is implemented in such a way as to acquire past location registration information for a ward'"'"'s mobile terminal designated by a subscriber (guardian), the past location registration information being base station identifiers associated with base stations at which the past locations of the ward'"'"'s mobile terminal has previously been registered, store the acquired past location registration information to a My Base Station DB allocated to the ward, check base station information, associated with a base station at which the current location of the ward'"'"'s mobile terminal has been registered, at the time of an observation request, determine whether base station information has been stored in the My Base Station DB, detect movement out of the safety zone when the base station information has not been stored in the My Base Station DB, and notify the subscriber of movement out of the safety zone.
