It consists of RAM where it is stored. 14 is a key input unit for selecting and inputting the type of emergency (fire, crime, sudden illness, etc.); 15 is a notification unit for notifying the caller of the response from the fixed station side center 1 to the emergency call; , for example, a buzzer. In addition,
The notification means is not limited to a buzzer, and vibrations or the like may also be used. When using vibration, it is suitable for people with hearing loss.

Individual identification information such as the ID code of each individual is stored in the TRC10 in advance, and the person to be managed can use the TRC1.
Have them carry one 0 each.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of an emergency call showing an example of application of the present invention.

In this system, position information is constantly sent from each fixed station 4, and the position information of the closest fixed station 4 is sequentially stored in the TRC 10.

Therefore, first, when a person discovers that an emergency situation has occurred, he selects and inputs the corresponding alarm type from the key input section 14 of the TRC 10 that he is carrying (step). Alarm types include fire, crime, sudden illness, etc.

Subsequently, the report information stored in the TRC 10, that is, the ID code (personal identification information) and the latest accumulated position information, are transmitted to the fixed station 4 (step).

Next, the fixed station 4 that received the information from the TRC 10
notifies the center 1 of this fact and transfers the received information to the center 1 (step).

Next, the center 1 that received the information analyzes the information, detects the location of the abnormality from the location information and the name of the caller from the ID code (step), and displays it on the data terminal 2 along with the alarm type (step). ).

Next, in order to respond to the informer that the report has been received, the corresponding ID code and a notification unit operation command are sent to the TRC 10 via the fixed station 4 (step).

Finally, TRC10 confirms that the received ID code is its own ID.
If the code matches, the notifying unit 15 of the own TRC 10, for example, a buzzer, sounds (step).

The emergency call system configured in this manner is suitable for use in intelligent buildings, hotels, etc. that combine advanced information communication functions and building management functions. In other words, users of these buildings and hotels can always carry an emergency call means nearby and can carry out their activities with peace of mind.
