Web contents indicating position information, a telephone number and the like may be transmitted to the terminal devices 44 and 45 by packet communication via the Internet 43.

Next, another embodiment will be described.
The transmitting device 1 may be configured to periodically transmit a trigger signal without the reporter operating the switch 3 of the transmitting device 1. This example can be applied, for example, when confirming the location of an elderly person with dementia who has a wandering habit.

In this embodiment, the transmitting device 1
A timer is provided for transmitting a trigger signal to the transmission circuit 2 at regular intervals. The transmitting device 1 periodically transmits a trigger signal using the timer. The operation after the mobile phone device 11 (the trigger signal receiving unit 13) receives the trigger signal is the same as the operation after step S102.

If the transmitting device 1 and the portable telephone device 11 are carried by, for example, an elderly person with dementia who has wandering habits, the location can be regularly checked even if the elderly person wanders. In addition, if a child or the like possesses the transmitting device 1 and the mobile phone device 11 as well as an elderly person with dementia, even if a child is abducted or the like, the location of the child device is periodically determined. Can be confirmed. Alternatively, when a person who is likely to pose a danger to the body requests security from a security company, it is preferable that the security company can appropriately grasp the location of the client. In this case, by having the client possess the transmitting device 1 having the timer and the mobile phone device 11,
The security company can appropriately confirm the position of the client.

When it is necessary to periodically know the location of the holder of the portable telephone device 11, the transmitting device 1 does not have a timer, but the portable telephone device 11 A configuration that includes a timer that outputs a calculation instruction and outputs a call instruction of the management server 31 to the control unit 12 may be provided. The operation after the position calculation command is input to the position calculation unit 15 and the call command is input to the control unit 12 is as follows.
This is the same as the case described above. By providing the timer, the position of the holder of the mobile phone device 11 can be periodically confirmed.

The communication of the position information and the like received by the operator may be performed in a case where the urgency is high and the caller must be immediately rescued, or in a case where the urgency is relatively low. When the operator is accepting a communication with a high degree of urgency, the terminal devices 44 and 45 need to immediately receive the location information and the like from the management server 31 after the management server 31 receives the location information and the like of the caller. . That is, the terminal device 4
4 and 45 must receive information from the management server 31 even if the operator does not perform an operation to access the management server 31. In each of the above examples, the management server 31
Can perform push-type distribution or send an e-mail to a terminal device (mobile phone device) having a function of notifying the arrival of an e-mail, without any operation by an operator.
The case where the information of the caller is transmitted to the terminal device has been described.

On the other hand, there is a case where the operator accepts only a communication having a relatively low urgency. For example, when the mobile phone device 11 owned by an elderly person with dementia who has a wandering habit regularly transmits position information to the management server 31, the promptness required of the operator becomes relatively moderate. When only the contact with a relatively low urgency is received, the management server 31 does not transmit the position information to the terminal devices 44 and 45 by push-type distribution, but the terminal device 44, 45.
In response to a request from 45, screen information of a web page indicating the location information, telephone number, and the like of the elderly person may be transmitted.
