Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a means which enables notification and message transmission to a contact address which are needed in emergency by making a center call the contact address and transmitting a stored message content when the center receives a call out from the automatic transmitting means of a terminal in emergency. SOLUTION: A terminal user registers an emergency contact address 6 in the internal memory 9 of a communication terminal 1. Not only the address 6 but also a message may be registered in the terminal 1 at such a time. An information message having a content showing the purport of emergency state occurrence and the address 6 are registered in an automatic answering center 5. Transmission is automatically performed to the address 6 that is preliminarily registered by pulling out a strap being a part of the terminal 1 when an emergency state takes place. Contact address information and the message content sent from the terminal 1 are transmitted to the center 5. The answering person being the address 6 can notify the owner of the terminal 1 of the occurrence of the emergency state by listening to the content of an emergency message that is preliminarily recorded.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a portable communication terminal, a base station connected to the communication terminal via a radio line, and a public station connected to the base station via an exchange. In a communication system including a line and a center that performs an answering service, a storage unit that stores emergency contact information and a message in the portable communication terminal,
When the center accepts a call from the automatic calling means of the terminal in an emergency, the automatic receiving means comprises an automatic calling means for automatically calling a contact stored in the storage means in an emergency.
The center makes a call to the contact and transmits the stored message content. Further, the portable communication terminal is provided with a strap which is locked to the terminal body and which can be detached in an emergency, and an automatic calling means for calling and transmitting a message to a contact stored in advance when the strap is detached.

[0006]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show the structure of the present invention. In the drawings, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. FIG.
Is an explanatory diagram showing a communication system configuration of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a terminal. FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the operation of the mobile communication terminal of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a mobile communication device such as a PHS or a mobile phone having a memory capable of registering an emergency contact telephone number and a message content, and having means for automatically transmitting to the contact in an emergency. Terminal. Reference numeral 2 denotes a base station, 3 denotes an exchange, 4 denotes a public line, 5 denotes a center for performing an answering machine service, and 6 denotes a destination telephone terminal. The contact information and the message content sent from the terminal 1 are transmitted to the center 5.

In FIG. 2, a portable communication terminal 1 includes a key 7 for performing a normal outgoing / incoming call operation, a ringing means 8 such as a speaker that rings when receiving an incoming call and in an emergency, Memory 9 that can be registered, strap 1 that can be detached from the terminal 1 in case of emergency
0, detecting means 1 for detecting withdrawal of the strap 10
1. Voice processing means 12 for making a call, antenna 1
3 and controls these, and in an emergency, if the removal of the strap 10 is detected without the operation of the key 7, the call is automatically made to the contact stored in the memory 9 to transmit a message. Control means 14
It is composed of

The operation of the present invention will be described below.

The terminal user operates the internal memory 9 of the communication terminal 1.
Register an emergency contact at. At this time, not only the contact information but also a message may be registered in the terminal. A message message indicating the occurrence of an emergency and an emergency contact are registered in the answering machine 5. When an emergency occurs, the strap 10 which is a part of the communication terminal is pulled out, so that an emergency call is automatically sent to a pre-registered emergency contact. The responder who is the emergency contact can hear the content of the emergency message recorded in advance to notify the owner of the terminal that an emergency has occurred.

[0012] As shown in the figure, if the strap is worn on the body, even if the terminal user gives up the terminal due to being attacked by a third party, it is possible to make an automatic call and notify an emergency. it can.

[0013]

As described above, according to the configuration and the method of the present invention, the responder who is the emergency contact can listen to the contents of the emergency message recorded in advance to notify the owner of the terminal of an emergency. The occurrence can be reported. It is possible for the user of the mobile communication terminal to register a message message indicating the fact and an emergency contact in preparation for an emergency. In the event of an emergency, it is possible to automatically call and notify a pre-registered emergency contact by withdrawing a part of the wireless mobile terminal.
