When a call originating process is started and an incoming call response from the other party or a signal during a call such as a busy signal is received, the process shifts to a voice call control or a data communication control and shifts to a call. Is output to the control unit 12, and
The information such as the traveling direction and direction of the vehicle and the data such as the position information input from the control unit 12 are transmitted to the emergency call center corresponding to the telephone number via the base station of the communication carrier. Perform outgoing call processing.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a control unit, which controls to record data such as position information acquired from the position information acquisition processing unit 14 in the storage unit 15 and issues an emergency report request in response to an operation signal from the emergency report transmission button 3. In order to start the emergency call communication process, the data such as the location information history stored in the storage unit 15 is input, and the telephone number of the emergency call center is obtained from the storage unit 15 At the same time, a call request is made to the emergency call contact means 11 using the telephone number, and further, a call response from the call partner corresponding to the telephone number is sent from the emergency call contact means 11,
Alternatively, if a signal such as a busy signal that shifts during a call is received, it is recognized that the call has shifted to a call state, and the location information history data is passed to the call partner corresponding to the telephone number via the base station of the communication carrier. The processing for outputting a signal for transmitting to the emergency call center to the emergency call communication means 11 is performed. When a request to change the registration number due to a change in the telephone number of the emergency call center or a change in the user is input from the external connection device 5 connected to the external device connection interface 17, the change is stored in the storage unit 15. Perform recording processing.

A gyro sensor 13 generates information such as the traveling direction and direction of the vehicle. Reference numeral 14 denotes a position information acquisition processing unit which sends data such as data from the gyro sensor 13 and data such as position information generated by data received from the GPS antenna 4 by the GPS receiver 16 to the control unit 12. Output to A storage unit 15 stores information such as the telephone number of the emergency call center, the registration number of the vehicle on which the emergency call system terminal device 1 is mounted, the position information generated by the position information acquisition processing unit 14, and the control unit. A process for outputting the recorded data in response to the request signal from the controller 12 is performed. Further, when there is a request for change of the telephone number of the emergency call center and change of the user from the control unit 12, processing for changing and updating the registration number is performed. Reference numeral 16 denotes a GPS receiver, which performs processing for outputting data such as position information to the position information acquisition processing unit 14 based on data obtained from the GPS antenna 4. Reference numeral 17 denotes an external device connection interface, which performs a process of outputting a registration number change request from the external connection device 5 due to a change in the telephone number of the emergency call center or a change in the user to the control unit 12.

Next, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention will be described. In FIG. 1, the position information acquisition processing unit 14
Data from gyro sensor 13, GPS receiver 16
Generates position information data based on data received from the GPS antenna 4 or the like. The control unit 12 periodically acquires data such as position information from the position information acquisition processing unit 14,
A process for recording in the storage unit 15 is performed. The user presses the emergency call button 3 in an emergency such as a traffic accident or sudden illness.
The emergency call transmission button 3 outputs an operation signal indicating that the user has been pressed to the control unit 12 when the user presses the button. Control unit 1
2 recognizes that there has been an emergency call transmission request from the operation signal from the emergency call transmission button 3, and starts the emergency report process. The control unit 12 obtains the data such as the positional information accumulated from the storage unit 15 and the telephone number of the emergency call center, and uses the telephone number to transmit the emergency call notification means 11.
Make a phone call request to. Emergency call notification means 11 uses telephone antenna 2 to start a telephone call process to the other party corresponding to the telephone number via the base station of the communication carrier. When receiving an outgoing response from the other party or a signal such as a busy signal that shifts to a busy state, the emergency call notification unit 11 recognizes that the state has shifted to the talking state, and shifts to voice call control or data communication control. Along with
A signal notifying that the call has been transferred is output to the control unit 12. The control unit 12 determines that the call is successful, and performs a process of transmitting data such as position information to the emergency call center corresponding to the telephone number corresponding to the telephone number via the base station of the communication carrier.

When the user needs to change the telephone number of the emergency call center and the registration number of the user recorded in the emergency call system terminal device 1, the external device connection interface 17 connects to the external device connection interface 17. 5 and connect
