WIPO Patent Application WO/2001/055677
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The invention relates to an emergency information system for informing a center, such as the police, of a traffic accident and sudden illness through on-board emergency communication means. When a cellular phone is used as the on-board emergency communication means, a failure to connect the cellular phone to the system terminal is prevented. A control section (12) determines whether the emergency communication means (2) is connected to the system terminal (1) and whether they operate properly. If the telephone is not perfectly connected, a signal for keeping the vehicle from starting is sent through information transmission means (6) to a vehicle starter (4) and a LED or LCD on the dashboard. The signal is also stored in a storage (15), from which the signal can be extracted through an interface (7) for connection with an external device.
