In step S35, the portable wireless emergency call terminal 1 determines whether or not the value T of the call start timer has become zero. If the result of the determination is that the value T of the call start timer has not become 0, the flow returns to step S34 to continue the subtraction processing. As a result of the determination, the value T of the call start timer
Has become 0, the process proceeds to step S36.

In step S36, the portable wireless emergency call terminal 1 checks whether or not the line holding control code has been received. If the line holding control code has been received, the emergency report data has been transmitted / received to / from the receiving party (the receiving center 3 or the like), so the flow returns to step S34 to repeat the communication start timer subtraction process again. . Also,
If the line holding control code has not been received, it is determined whether or not the call has ended. If it is determined that the call has not ended, the process returns to step S34, and the process of subtracting the communication start timer is repeated again. If it is determined that the call has ended, the process proceeds to step S37.

In step S37, the portable wireless emergency call terminal 1 releases the line with the receiving party (such as the receiving center 3). This line release is a forced automatic line disconnection that does not require hook-on. As is clear from the above description, according to the embodiment, it is possible to report an emergency or the like over a wide area from the outdoors.

Further, the reporting position from outside can be accurately obtained by using two position searching systems. In addition, since the report from the outside is sequentially performed in accordance with the priority of the report destination, a related person such as a family can easily know the report. Further, since the portable wireless emergency call terminal 1 can perform automatic calling and hands-free communication, the holder of the portable wireless emergency call terminal 1 can easily report a consultation situation or an emergency situation.

In addition, when a certain period of time has passed since the emergency call was made and no data transmission or telephone call was made, the line could be forcibly disconnected, causing problems such as extra charges. It has the effect of not doing it. In addition, the holder of another portable wireless emergency call terminal can easily know the state of the holder of the portable wireless emergency call terminal 1 by changing the color display or blinking of the call button without talking.
