(Step 31): The video storage center 26 transfers the video information of the ITV camera 15 to the external terminal 13.

(Step 32): The external terminal 13 receives the video information from the ITV camera 15.
(Step 33): The ITV camera video tracking / transfer function 206 of the video storage center 26 determines access to the next ITV camera 16 and requests the base station 6 to transfer the video of the ITV camera 16.

(Step 34): The radio base station 6 stores the video information of the ITV camera 16.
(Step 35): The radio base station 6 transfers the video information of the ITV camera 16 to the video storage center 26.

(Step 36): The video storage center 26 transfers the video information of the ITV camera 16 to the external terminal 13.
(Step 37): The external terminal 13 receives the video information from the ITV camera 16 (claims 18 and 19).

  A computer program for causing an emergency communication system to execute the processing of steps 23 to 37 according to claim 19 is provided by an FD, a CD, or the like, or provided online through the communication network 1 (claim 20).

(Example 3)
Next, Example 3 will be described with reference to FIG.
In the wireless base station 69 in FIG. 12, the camera video transfer function 68 is a police officer having a specific access right to the video of the ITV cameras 15 and 16 via the network connection unit 61 and the communication network 1 according to an instruction from the emergency management center 2. Is transferred to a terminal owned by the above (claim 21).

  In addition, in the video storage center 26 shown in FIG. 11, the camera video tracking / transfer function 206 receives real-time video from all ITV cameras in the system via the network connection unit 61 and the communication network 1 in accordance with an instruction from the emergency management center 2, and emergency The past video record of the ITV camera connected to the radio base station where the information is generated is transferred to a terminal owned by a police officer or the like having a specific access right (claim 22).

  If the emergency management center 2 has the authentication / billing processing unit 64 and the user information DB 65 described in the functional configuration diagram of the radio base station in FIG. 3 (Embodiment 1) and FIG. 12 (Embodiment 3). The radio base station is not necessarily provided.

  The authentication / billing function is based on whether or not terminal identification information of a user who may make an emergency call is registered in the user DB in advance, and the terminal identification information of the caller is registered in the user DB at the time of emergency call. Determine whether to continue the emergency call processing.

  When receiving an emergency call, the user can be charged a predetermined amount such as 100 yen once. As a result, it is possible to prevent an emergency call by mischief.

  It is also conceivable to return a part of the usage fee (for example, 50 yen per time) to the provider of the radio base station.

  Further, the DB registration holding function of the emergency management center of FIG. 4 and the video storage center of FIGS. 5 and 11 may be integrated into a status management control unit that controls the processing flow of each of these centers.

  Note that a radio base station (actually a radio base station device), an emergency management center (actually an emergency management center device), a video storage center (actually a video storage center device), a security buzzer, a CPU, It goes without saying that a memory for storing programs and data is used, and the processing performed by the processing unit and function unit of each device is realized using these.

  Japan's increasingly international crimes, especially violent crimes, are increasing, and this trend is expected to continue. Therefore, the demand for security buzzers is also increasing. However, conventional crime prevention buzzers that are only based on warning sounds and intense light cannot immediately report to families, police, or other crime prevention organizations that are several kilometers or tens of kilometers away, so their utility is limited. It was.

  However, according to the present invention, in the event of an emergency, help from a wide-area society that is several kilometers or tens of kilometers away can be obtained directly, so the possibility of protecting yourself from violent crime increases. In addition, there is a possibility that such vendors of systems providing excellent safety will be in demand not only from within Japan but also from around the world.
