From detecting signs of crime to automatic reporting to 112 and 119… How ‘SOS Spot’ is set to change everyday safety

SOS Spot has newly unveiled “SOS-Spot: Always Safe,” a next-generation safety app that detects risks early and facilitates rapid response. Unlike existing location-sharing-based safety apps, which merely update coordinates on a map to confirm a user’s location, SOS-Spot detects abnormal signs occurring during movement, immediately begins recording, and transmits the on-site video to guardians. This allows guardians to accurately assess the situation on the ground and directly relay it to 112 or 119 to request a swift response.

SOS-Spot is a so-called “movement monitoring system” that operates centered on human movement, even in locations without fixed CCTV cameras. It automatically detects various danger signs through passphrase recognition (e.g., “kimchi pizza”), the detection of approximately 630 dangerous phrases (e.g., “Help me,” “Take out all your money”), and route anomaly detection when movement is delayed or deviates from a registered course, such as on the way home or to and from school. Upon detection, it automatically records and transmits the footage.

The movement monitoring and emergency video call functions are linked with smartwatches to maintain a constant standby state. Additionally, an unused smartphone (a “gong phone”) can be utilized to easily set up a home CCTV system. In emergencies such as missing persons or kidnappings, users can file a one-touch report to 112 or 119 using video that records the on-site address. The service is also useful for quietly securing evidence video for stalking victims and for making one-touch reports to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Consular Safety Call Center while traveling abroad.

Meanwhile, SOS Spot has filed six related patents, including those covering its multi-layered monitoring system and operational methods, which are currently under review. The company also plans to expand globally in the future by securing investors.
