2. Description of the Prior Art
As the average wealth of a nation increases, people start to place more importance on their quality of life and the security of their family. Security monitoring devices which integrate various fields such as burglar alarms, entrance management and remote monitoring can be utilized for personal safety and protection of property. As the related technology matures, various digitized, networking or integrated security products and applications have become commercially available. Most modern security monitoring products and applications are realized by monitors or security systems. Coverage of such monitors and security systems, however, may not be satisfactory. If an accident or emergency occurs in a place not covered by the monitors or security systems, the circumstances will not be known, and follow-up assistance or appropriate handling cannot be performed. Thus, how to immediately detect and determine whether a user is involved in an emergency has become a main focus of the industry. Such functionality can enable assistance or processing to be performed immediately after an emergency, in order to achieve effective monitoring for personal safety.
