     It is to be understood that although different information may be described using the terms such as first, second, third, etc. in the present disclosure, these information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, the first information may also be referred to as the second information without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information. Depending on the context, in addition, the used word “if” may be interpreted as “when” or “as” or “in response to”. 
     As shown in  FIG. 1 , it is a flow chart of a method of alarming with a terminal according to an example of the present disclosure. The method may be applied in a terminal. The terminal in the present disclosure may be any terminals capable of being used outdoors. For example, the terminal may include a mobile phone, a tablet, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) and a walkie-talkie. Here the terminal may have a function of surfing an internet, access a router through a wireless local area network and access a server on public network through the router. The method of alarming with a terminal may include the following blocks  101 - 102 . 
     At block  101 , current parameter information of the terminal may be acquired. 
     The parameter information in examples of the present disclosure may include acceleration information and humidity information. Accordingly, an acceleration sensor and a humidity sensor may be configured on the terminal for detecting the acceleration information and the humidity information, respectively. 
     At block  102 , it may be determined whether the parameter information satisfies a preset condition; and alarm information may be output when the preset condition is satisfied. 
     Examples of the present disclosure is mainly directed to a case that a user who carries a terminal has an accident. A preset condition may be an acceleration changing rule when a user falls or drops and/or a humidity changing rule when a user is drowning. 
     In an example of the present disclosure, a terminal may detect acceleration information and/or humidity information and then determine whether the information satisfies the preset condition or not. If the preset condition is satisfied, it may be determined that a user has an accident and alarm information may be output. In this way, a situation in which the user using the terminal has an accident such as drowning, falling or the like may be detected timely and alarm information may be played timely, so that the user who has an accident may be noticed by others timely and rescued. 
     As shown in  FIG. 2 , it is a flow chart of a method of alarming with a terminal according to another example of the present disclosure. The method may be applied in a terminal and include the following blocks  201 - 206 . 
     At block  201 , an acceleration value of a terminal within a set time period may be detected, and the set time period includes current moment. 
     In this block of the present disclosure, the terminal may detect the acceleration value within the set time period by using its acceleration sensor. For example, the time period includes current moment and 5 minutes before the current moment. 
     At block  202 , it may be determined whether the acceleration value matches a preset acceleration changing rule or not. 
     Examples of the present disclosure are mainly directed to an accidental situation in which the user using the terminal suddenly falls or drops. In this case, the acceleration value may be relatively large. For example, a velocity value may suddenly change and may become zero at the end of a set time period, e.g., the terminal is finally in a stationary state. Therefore, the acceleration changing rule may be set according to a velocity changing rule in this process. For example, the acceleration changing rule may be that an acceleration value in the set time period exceeds a set acceleration threshold value and the velocity value at the end of the set time period is zero. 
     At block  203 , a pre-stored alarm voice may be read when the acceleration value matches the preset acceleration changing rule. 
     In an example of the present disclosure, the alarm voice may be pre-stored, such as, “I have a risk of dropping”, “I need rescue” and so on. 
     At block  204 , the alarm voice may be sent to a walkie-talkie having the same frequency band as that of the terminal for loop playback. 
     In an example of the present disclosure, the alarm voice may be sent to a walkie-talkie which currently uses the same frequency band as that of the terminal for loop playback. Meanwhile, when the terminal is a walkie-talkie, the terminal may play the alarm voice locally and set the volume to the maximum so that nearby users may hear the alarm information more easily. 
     At block  205 , information of the position at which the terminal is currently located may be determined. 
     At the block  205  of the present disclosure, the current position of the terminal may be determined by positioning function. The positioning result may be latitude and longitude information or may be, such as, No. Road**, ** Park or the like. 
     At block  206 , position voice information may be output by converting the position information into the position voice information. 
     In an example of the present disclosure, no matter whether the alarm voice is sent to a walkie-talkie of the same frequency band as that of the terminal or a designated terminal, for example, a terminal of a relative of the terminal user, the user of the walkie-talkie having the same frequency band or the user of the designated terminal may not be in the vicinity of the user who has an accident. Therefore, the accurate position of the user who has an accident should be known. The position information and the alarm voice may be sent together to the rescuer so that the rescuer may obtain more accurate information, quickly find the user who has an accident and provide rescue. 
     As shown in  FIG. 3 , it is a flow chart of a method of alarming with a terminal according to still another example of the present disclosure. The method may be applied in a terminal and include the following blocks  301 - 307 . 
     At block  301 , a humidity value of the terminal within a set time period may be detected, and the set time period includes current moment. 
     At the block  301  of the present disclosure, the humidity value within the set time period may be detected by a humidity sensor of the terminal. For example, the humidity value at the current moment and within 5 minutes before the current moment may be detected. 
     At block  302 , a humidity changing value of the terminal within the set time period may be determined based on the detected humidity value. 
     Here the humidity changing value may be determined by subtracting the humidity values within the set time period. 
     At block  303 , it may be determined whether the humidity changing value exceeds a set humidity threshold value or not. 
     In an example of the present disclosure, if the humidity changing value exceeds the set humidity threshold value, it may be determined that water has entered the terminal and the user of the terminal has a risk of drowning. In another example, if a humidity value exceeds the set humidity threshold value, it may be determined that water has entered the terminal. 
     At block  304 , it may be determined that a preset humidity changing rule is satisfied when the humidity changing value exceeds the set humidity threshold value. 
     In an example of the present disclosure, an alarm voice may be pre-stored on the terminal, such as, “I have a risk of drowning”, “I need rescue” and so on. 
     At block  305 , a pre-stored alarm voice may be sent to a walkie-talkie of the same frequency band as that of the terminal or a designated terminal for loop playback. 
     In an example of the present disclosure, the terminal may also play the alarm voice locally and set the volume to the maximum so that the nearby users may hear the alarm information more easily. 
     At block  306 , information of the position at which the terminal is currently located may be determined. 
     At block  306  of the present disclosure, the current position of the terminal may be determined by positioning function. The positioning result may be latitude and longitude information or may be, such as, No. Road**, ** Park or the like. 
     At block  307 , position voice information may be output by converting the position information into the position voice information. 
     The block  307  of the present disclosure may refer to the description of block  207 , and further description is omitted for brevity. 
     As shown in  FIG. 4 , it is a flow chart of a method of alarming with a terminal according to still another example of the present disclosure. The method may be used in a terminal and include the following blocks  401 - 407 . 
     At block  401 , an acceleration value and a humidity value of the terminal within a set time period may be detected, and the set time period includes current moment. 
     Combined with the examples shown in  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 3 , it may be known that the terminal may detect the acceleration value within the set time period by using its acceleration sensor. For example, the time period includes current moment and 5 minutes before the current moment. The terminal may further detect the humidity value within the set time period by using its humidity sensor. For example, the time period includes current moment and 5 minutes before the current moment 
     At block  402 , a humidity changing value of the terminal within the set time period may be determined based on the detected humidity value. 
     At block  403 , it may be determined whether the acceleration value matches a preset acceleration changing rule and the humidity changing value matches a preset humidity changing rule. 
     Examples of the present disclosure are mainly directed to an accidental situation in which the user using the terminal suddenly falls and drops into water. In this case, the acceleration value may be relatively large. For example, the velocity value may suddenly change and may become zero at the end of the set time period, e.g., the terminal is finally in a stationary state. Therefore, the acceleration changing rule may be set according to a velocity changing rule in this process. For example, the acceleration changing rule may be that an acceleration value in the set time period exceeds a set acceleration threshold value and the velocity value at the end of the set time period is zero. In addition, since the user drops into water, the humidity value of the terminal may have a relatively great change, e.g., exceed a set humidity threshold value. In such a way, combined with the above two aspects, it may be determined whether the user falls into water or not. 
     At block  404 , a pre-stored alarm voice is read when the acceleration value matches a preset acceleration changing rule and the humidity changing value matches a preset humidity changing rule. 
     In an example of the present disclosure, the pre-stored alarm voice may be read when an acceleration value matches acceleration changing rule and a humidity changing value matches a humidity changing rule, such as, “I have a risk of dropping”, “I have a risk of drowning”, “I need rescue” and so on. 
     At block  405 , the alarm voice may be sent to a walkie-talkie of the same frequency band as that of the terminal for loop playback. 
     In an example of the present disclosure, the alarm voice may be sent to a walkie-talkie which currently uses the same frequency band as that of the terminal for loop playback. Meanwhile, when the terminal is a walkie-talkie, the terminal may play the alarm voice locally and set the volume to the maximum so that the nearby users may hear the alarm information more easily. 
     At block  406 , information of the position at which the terminal is currently located may be determined. 
     At block  406  of the present disclosure, the current position of the terminal may be determined by positioning function. The positioning result may be latitude and longitude information or may be, such as, No. Road**, ** Park or the like. 
     At block  407 , position voice information may be output by converting the position information into the position voice information. 
     In an example of the present disclosure, no matter whether the alarm voice is sent to a walkie-talkie of the same frequency band as that of the terminal or a designated terminal, for example, a terminal of a relative of the terminal user, the user of the walkie-talkie having the same frequency band or the user of the designated terminal may not be in the vicinity of the user who has an accident. Therefore, the accurate position of the user who has an accident should be known. The position information and the alarm voice may be sent together to the rescuer so that the rescuer may obtain more accurate information, quickly find the user who has an accident and provide rescue. 
     As shown in  FIG. 5 , it is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a method of alarming with a terminal according to an example of the present disclosure. The scenario shown in  FIG. 5  includes a walkie-talkie  1  as a terminal and a walkie-talkie  2  having the same frequency band as that of the walkie-talkie  1 , where the walkie-talkie  1  may include an acceleration sensor. 
     The walkie-talkie  1  may detect an acceleration value within a set time period by the acceleration sensor and then determine whether the acceleration value matches a preset acceleration changing rule or not, where the acceleration changing rule may be that the acceleration value exceeds a set acceleration threshold value and the velocity value at the end of the set time period is zero. It may be determined that the user using the walkie-talkie  1  falls when the acceleration value matches the preset acceleration changing rule. A position at which the walkie-talkie  1  is located may be determined by GPS (Global Positioning System) function of the walkie-talkie to obtain position information. The position information may be converted into voice position information. An alarm voice pre-stored in the walkie-talkie  1  may be read. The voice position information and the alarm voice may be sent to the walkie-talkie  2 . The walkie-talkie  2  may loop play the received voice position information and the alarm voice. 
     In the application scenario shown in  FIG. 5 , the specific process for realizing alarming with a terminal may refer to the above description for  FIGS. 1-4 , and further description is omitted for brevity.

If the preset condition is satisfied, it may be determined that the user of the terminal has an accident and the alarm information is output. In this way, an accidental situation in which the user using the terminal has a risk of drowning, falling or the like may be detected timely and the alarm informing is output, so that the user who has an accident may be noticed by others timely and rescued.
