Abstract

A member protection method using a mobile communication terminal is provided, and in particular a member protection method using a mobile communication terminal is provided which is capable of quickly coping with an emergency situation in such a manner that when a certain situation, for example, a member with a mobile communication terminal having a positioning function rides in taxi or is in a strange building, and moving information such as an engaged time when the situation is ended and a taxi registered number is registered in a central control server, a member'"'"'s position is recognized and temporarily stored. In the case that a movement lifting notice is not received from a member until an engaged time, a certain moving information such as a member'"'"'s position is transmitted to a mobile communication terminal of a security staff.

1. A method of membership protection using a terminal location track system, the terminal location track system including a mobile communication terminal, a location of which is tracked, a mobile communication system of a mobile communication enterprise, a member information database for storing member information, a moving information database for storing a member'"'"'s location information, and a central control server for controlling transmission and receipt of data, the method comprising:

constructing the member information database, which operates in cooperation with the central control server, and in which the member information including a mobile communication terminal number and a dedicated contact place are stored by the member;

constructing the moving information database, which operates in cooperation with the central control server, and in which the member'"'"'s moving information is stored, and an engaged time is registered;

starting a protection state in which the member'"'"'s moving information including the engaged time is received from a member in accordance with a control of the central control server, an engaged time is registered in the moving information database, and the member'"'"'s moving information is stored and is reported to the dedicated contact place;

storing a position of the mobile communication terminal traced at a certain period in accordance with a control of the central control server until a protection state is completed after the report of releasing a protection state is received from the member after the protection state is started, wherein the traced information is stored in the moving information database; and

transmitting moving information in which the position information stored in the storing the position step and moving information are transmitted to the dedicated contact place and a mobile communication terminal of a mobilizing staff in accordance with a control of the central control server when the report of releasing a protection state is not received until the engaged time.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein in the transmitting moving information step, a position data stored in the storing the position step and the moving information are transmitted to a mobile communication terminal of a mobilizing staff in accordance with a control of the central control server when a mobilizing request report is received by the central control server from the dedicated contact place.
