Accumulation of user data / rescue data; the authentication server 21 of the rescue information center 2 uses the Internet 7
The user data and the relief data are received from the personal computer 10 of the home 1 or the client terminal 30 of the hospital 3 via the, and the user data is transmitted to the relief database 20 for registration, and the relief data requires a delivery destination. Only information is extracted, and different rescue data is extracted for each of a plurality of extracted delivery destinations, and then transferred to the rescue database 20 for registration.

The rescue database 20 is an authentication server 21.
The user data registered from and the different rescue data for different delivery destinations are accumulated as rescue data for the care recipient.

Issuance of an emergency signal; When the care recipient alone at home 1 presses push button 12 due to a sudden change in physical condition,
A signal including a user name and an authentication key for rescue from the emergency signal issuing terminal 11 via the network 6 is transmitted to the communication server 2
When the communication server 22 receives the signal, the communication server 22 authenticates the system user with the signal including the user name and the authentication key, and after the authentication, the rescue database is provided to obtain the rescue data of the corresponding user name. Search for 20,
The communication server 22 makes a telephone call via the network 6 to the delivery destination of the telephone number described in the relief data, using the different relief data for each of the delivery destinations that are collated, withdrawn, and obtained.

Distributing emergency information; by calling from the communication server 22 of the relief information center 2 to a plurality of distribution destinations,
Communication terminal 3 of hospital 3 called from network 6
Emergency message, name, age, home address, medical condition, visit history are delivered to 1, and the communication console 4 of the fire department 4
An emergency message, a name, an age, a home address, a medical condition, and family information are delivered to 0, and an emergency message, a name, and a name are sent to the mobile phone 50 of the family 5 who is outside by radio waves from the mobile communication network of the network 6. The name of the hospital in charge and the hospital telephone number are distributed, and different rescue data information is distributed to each distribution destination.

Arrangement of ambulance; the fire department 4 receiving the information of the rescue data, the ambulance 41 for the rescue of the cared person.
Are dispatched to home 1.

Transport to hospital; ambulance 41 is at home 1
The cared person who was waiting for the emergency was transported to the hospital in charge.

Next, a rescue data registration screen for the user to register rescue data will be described. FIG. 5 shows an example of a rescue data registration screen in the embodiment of the present invention.

The rescue data registration screen 8 shown in the figure is displayed on the personal computer 10 of the home 1 or the client terminal 3 of the hospital 3.
This is a screen for registering rescue data from 0 to the rescue information center 2. When the communication server 22 of the rescue information center 2 is accessed from the personal computer 10 or the client terminal 30 via the Internet 7, the rescue data registration screen from the communication server 22 is displayed. 8 is transmitted.

Personal computer 10 or client terminal 3
