JPH07234984A - Wireless emergency reporting device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a reporting device which can surely report the occurrence of an emergency and also can easily detect its own fault by transmitting the emergency signals via a wireless circuit at each set time or at the set time intervals. CONSTITUTION:This emergency reporting device includes an emergency button 11, a button 12 which stops the transmission of emergency signals, a clock display part 13, a setting button 14, a buzzer 15 which transmits the emergency signals and also generates the buzzer sounds, and the clock setting buttons 16. Thus the emergency signals are transmitted not only by the operation of the button 11 but the operation of the button 14 which works at each set time or each prescribed time interval. Then a user can stop the transmission of emergency signals by means of the button 12. Therefore no emergency is decided as long as the transmission of emergency signals is immediately stopped. Meanwhile it is decided that an emergency is caused by some reason to inhibit the operation of the button 12 if the emergency signals are continuously transmitted.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wireless emergency call device, and more particularly to a wireless emergency call device that guarantees highly reliable operation.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a wireless emergency notification device, a device of a type in which a pendant or a wristwatch has a built-in transmission circuit for generating a specific emergency signal is generally used. When an elderly person, a physically handicapped person, a guard, or the like feels any abnormality, this type of wireless emergency call device operates the emergency button by itself to wirelessly report the occurrence of an emergency.

FIG. 3 shows a wristwatch-type wireless emergency call device 1 as a wireless emergency call device of this type. The main body of the present timepiece is provided with an emergency button 11 that is operated to transmit an emergency signal when an emergency occurs, a stop button 12 that stops emergency transmission, a clock display unit 13, and a clock setting button 16.

Further, in the pendant type wireless emergency notification device, as shown in FIG. 4, the pendant 2 is provided with the same emergency button 21 and start lamp 22.

[0005]

As described above, in the conventional wireless emergency call device, when an emergency occurs, the user operates the emergency button to send an emergency signal.

However, the occurrence of an emergency is not always a state in which the user can operate the emergency button at all times, and there are many cases where the emergency button cannot be operated. For example, if a serious physical abnormality suddenly occurs in the user, the emergency button cannot be operated, and in that case, the function of the wireless emergency call device cannot be performed.

Further, even when the user can operate the emergency button, if the wireless emergency call device itself is out of order, no transmission signal is sent even if the button is operated,
Even in this case, the function of the wireless emergency call device cannot be fulfilled.

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a wireless emergency notification device which enables reliable transmission of an emergency signal and can confirm a failure of the device itself.

[0009]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a wireless emergency call device according to the present invention is a wireless emergency call device having a function of transmitting an emergency signal for informing an emergency through a wireless line. A setting means for setting a predetermined time or time interval, a transmitting means for transmitting the emergency signal at the timing of the time or time interval set by the setting means, and a stopping means for stopping transmission by the transmitting means. It is configured with.

[0010]

According to the present invention, an emergency signal is transmitted at a set time or time interval timing, and this transmission can be stopped, and by transmitting the emergency signal via a wireless line, a reliable emergency situation can be ensured. It made it easy to report the occurrence and find out the failure of the device itself.

[0011]

Embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a wireless emergency call device according to the present invention, which is an example applied to a wristwatch type.

The wristwatch type wireless emergency call device 1 according to the present embodiment has an emergency button 1 for transmitting an emergency signal.
1, a stop button 12 for stopping an emergency call, a clock display unit 13, a setting button 14 described later, a buzzer 15 for generating a buzzer sound with an emergency signal call, and a clock setting button 16.

In this embodiment, the emergency signal is transmitted not only by operating the emergency button 11 but also at a predetermined time interval or time set by the setting button 14, and the user presses the stop button at the time of transmission. 12 is operated to stop transmitting the emergency signal. By doing this,
If the transmission is stopped immediately after the emergency signal is transmitted,
You can judge that it is not an emergency. On the other hand, if the emergency signal continues to be transmitted, it can be determined that an emergency situation occurs in which the user cannot operate the stop button 12 for some reason.

The function of the setting button 14 allows the user to be surely notified of an abnormality that has occurred, and time management becomes easy.

The function of the stop button 12 is not limited to simply stopping the emergency signal transmission, but also "no abnormality".
It is also possible to provide a function for making a notification including a code indicating. With this function, in addition to the abnormality that occurred to the user, the abnormality such as the failure of the transmitter itself can be notified to the callee side in the form that "the notification could not be made".

Although FIG. 1 shows an application example of a wristwatch, it is obvious that the present invention can be applied to any portable device other than the pendant type as shown in FIG.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the system configuration of the present invention. The present system includes a wireless emergency call device (pendant type emergency call device) 100 according to the present invention, a wireless receiver 200, and an emergency call telephone 300. An emergency signal transmitted from the wireless emergency call device 100 is wireless. It is received by the wireless receiver 200 via the line and sent to the emergency call telephone 300. The emergency call telephone 300 sends the received emergency signal to a center or the like on the callee side via a telephone line to prompt appropriate processing.

[0018]

As described above, according to the wireless emergency call device of the present invention, it is possible to make a reliable call when an emergency situation occurs, and it is also possible to quickly check the abnormality of the device itself.
