In this embodiment, when a mountaineer or an old man walking is in a slight injury or in a state of being movable despite an accident such as a rock fall, a slip, a fall, etc. Since emergency calls such as 110 and 119 can be made by operation, it is necessary to make an emergency call when there is serious injury or no movement at all, considering the situation.

Hereinafter, the difference from FIG. 4 is that when the accident detection signal is received from the accident detection means 31, a new accident detection signal is received from the accident detection means 31 in the configuration of FIG. 4 or 5. At this time, a time delay means 71 for delaying the accident detection signal for a predetermined time, and a notification means 7 such as a lamp or an alarm device for notifying that a preparation stage for transmitting an emergency notification is entered.
2, a reset button 73 for resetting the notification by the notification means 72, and when the accident detection signal is received, the power from the power supply unit 32 is immediately supplied to the notification means despite the delay processing of the time delay means 71. 72, the notification process is stopped when the reset signal is received from the reset button 73 within a predetermined time, and the process of supplying the power from the power supply unit 32 to the required components is stopped, and the predetermined time elapses. Even if the reset signal is not received, the power supply unit 32
The power from the GPS 36 or the identification data generating means 3
9. A switch operation control means 74 for supplying the automatic dial device 34 is provided.

According to such an embodiment, when a mountaineer falls a rock, slides, or an old man who is walking falls, and an old man who is at home falls, the accident detecting means 31 causes an accident due to the impact force. And sends an accident detection signal (S
T21). Upon receiving the accident detection signal, the switch operation control unit 74 immediately supplies the power from the power supply unit 32 to the notification unit 72, blinks the lamp, or makes a beeping sound from the alarm device, causing an emergency. It is informed that the preparation stage for the notification will be entered (ST22).

After that, it is judged whether or not a predetermined time has passed (ST23), and if a mountaineer, an old person, etc. are in a slight injury or are in a state of being able to move their body before the predetermined time has passed, a reset button is not necessarily required. Since 73 is pressed (ST24), the blinking operation of the lamp is stopped in this case, or the beeping sound from the alarm device is stopped, and power is not supplied to other components (ST2).
5).

However, when a mountain climber, an elderly person or the like needs an emergency due to a serious injury or physical inability due to an accident, and the predetermined time elapses without pressing the reset button 73, the switch operation control means 74 Since the power from the power supply unit 32 is supplied to the auto dial device 34, the GPS 36, and the identification data generating means 39, an emergency call can be transmitted to the emergency call handling system 44 as in the first embodiment (ST26), and the battery can be used. Since the transmission is continuously repeated until the end of its life (ST27), in addition to the effect similar to that of the fourth embodiment, an emergency call can be reliably generated especially when a serious injury or no movement is caused by an accident.
