Handling Vehicle Accidents Using A Mobile Terminal
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal comprising:
- a terminal body configured to be wearable on a part of a user'"'"'s body;
a wireless communication unit configured to connect to an e-Call system of a vehicle and receive information related to a state of the vehicle;
a detecting unit configured to detect a biometric signal of the user that is sensed by at least one sensor provided in the terminal body; and
a controller configured to;
based on an accident event of the vehicle being detected from the received information related to the state of the vehicle, analyze the detected biometric signal to obtain state information of the user, andbased on a predetermined condition being satisfied, cooperate with the e-Call system of the vehicle and transmit the obtained state information of the user and the information related to a state of the vehicle to a call center.

Abstract
A mobile terminal includes a terminal body that is wearable on a part of a user'"'"'s body. A wireless communication unit of the mobile terminal connects to an e-Call system of a vehicle and receives information related to a state of the vehicle. A detecting unit of the mobile terminal detects a biometric signal of the user that is sensed by at least one sensor provided in the terminal body. A controller is configured to, based on an accident event of the vehicle being detected from the received information related to the state of the vehicle, analyze the detected biometric signal to obtain state information of the user. Based on a predetermined condition being satisfied, the controller cooperates with the e-Call system of the vehicle and transmits the obtained state information of the user and the information related to a state of the vehicle to a call center.

16. A method for handling an accident of a vehicle, the method comprising:
-
connecting a mobile terminal to an e-Call system of a vehicle and receiving, at the mobile terminal, information related to a state of the vehicle from the e-Call system; detecting a biometric signal of a user who is wearing the mobile terminal; based on an accident event of the vehicle being detected from the received information related to a state of the vehicle, analyzing the detected biometric signal of the user to obtain state information of the user; and based on a predetermined condition being satisfied by the obtained state information of the user and the information related to a state of the vehicle, transmitting to a call center, by the mobile terminal in cooperation with the e-Call system, the obtained state information of the user and the information related to a state of the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
