Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to whether or not a subject uses a telephone, that is, whether the subject makes a telephone call.
Alternatively, the present invention relates to a simple safety confirmation system that checks a call history of whether or not a call is answered when the phone rings, estimates the safety, and notifies the supporter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the conventional system, it is necessary to prepare a special device on the side of the subject in order to confirm the safety.
For example, if the target person uses, for example, a pot, a communication device that skips the action information, a sensor that detects the action when the door is opened and closed, and a communication device that skips the information.

[0003]

In the conventional system, since the safety confirmation is performed by using a special device, the cost burden of the device becomes large. Therefore, in order to be widely used, it is an issue that the cost is as low as possible.

[0004]

[Means for solving the problem] If the target person makes a call or receives an incoming call, it is judged to be safe,
If there is no evidence that the subject has used the phone for the last certain period of time, it is speculated that "maybe something happened during that period". Then, the supporter of the target person is automatically notified of that fact by e-mail or the like. In the flow of these information, there is no need for anything special other than the telephone, so the cost is
It can be kept low.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
If the subject's telephone history is scanned regularly and there is no trace of the subject's use of the telephone in the most recent fixed period, the subject is notified by e-mail or the like to a previously registered supporter. Further, the supporter can browse the telephone usage history of the target person from the WEB website at any time. The use of this system requires the consent of the target person in consideration of the target person's privacy.

[0006]
