There is a risk that they will not be able to do so and will not be rescued. For this reason, conventionally, a system has been developed in which emergency push buttons are installed in various places inside the house, and when an abnormality occurs, pressing the button automatically notifies the required information to a predetermined place through a telephone line. Therefore, it is possible to immediately send a rescue request, report, etc. anywhere in the house, and to report an abnormal situation such as a sudden illness of an individual living alone. For example, it is disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-63794. .

(Problems to be solved by the invention) Usually, doctors, public welfare officers, relatives, etc., are the people to whom this emergency situation is reported, but these people often go out and are available 24 hours a day. It is not always possible to call for help immediately after receiving a report, and therefore there is a problem that the sick person may be left for a long time. Also, since the old person living alone is only unidirectionally pre-recorded, it is not possible to know what kind of situation this old person is in, what kind of abnormal situation occurred, and the rescuer In the meantime,
There was a problem that suddenly sick people had to spend anxious time.

In order to solve such a problem, in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 61-160594, when an abnormal signal is transmitted to a central monitoring unit, which is a central device, by a telephone line, the central monitoring unit causes a wireless device to abnormally detect a patrol vehicle. There is disclosed an alarm device that informs the occurrence of the accident and directs the patrol car to the site immediately. However, in order to newly establish such a system, it is necessary to install a central monitoring unit and prepare multiple patrol vehicles, and it is not possible to easily construct a 24-hour emergency rescue system at low cost. Can not. Further, there is a problem in that the position of the patrol vehicle that is moving cannot be grasped, and it is not possible to more quickly respond to the request for dispatch.

The present invention has been made based on the above problems,
