Apparatus and method for providing emergency alert service in portable terminal
First Claim
1. A method for providing an emergency alert service in a portable terminal of a wireless communication network, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a controller, an SOS execution signal generated by an SOS input unit of the portable terminal in response to a user'"'"'s request;
identifying, by the controller, an operating mode of the portable terminal in response to the SOS execution signal;
transmitting, by the controller, a control signal corresponding to the identified operating mode to a source audio signal processor; and
generating, by the source audio signal processor, a source audio signal according to the received control signal for outputting the source audio signal via a sound output unit of the portable terminal,wherein the generating of the source audio signal comprises;
receiving the control signal from the controller; and
retrieving the source audio signal corresponding to the received control signal among a plurality of source audio signals for outputting the source audio signal via the sound output unit, andwherein, when the operating mode is identified as a call mode, the generating of the source audio signal comprises controlling output of the source audio signal by delaying the output of the source audio signal.
