Abstract
An emergency notification method and system using portable terminals are provided. The emergency notification method includes creating, by a sending portable terminal in response to detection of an emergency event, an emergency message and transmitting the created emergency message to a mobile communication system; forwarding, by the mobile communication system upon reception of the emergency message from the sending portable terminal, the emergency message to receiving portable terminals within a service area; and issuing, by each receiving portable terminal after reception of the emergency message from the mobile communication system, an emergency alert if necessary. Emergency information collected by one portable terminal is disseminated in real time to other portable terminals, which issue an alarm corresponding to the emergency information if necessary. As a result, terminal users can cope with an emergency in advance.
