Abstract

The present invention relates to an informing system capable of informing the service institution or the public institutions like police, fire extinguishing service, safety and welfare or hospitals of the current location of the person possessing the terminal device and also informing movable bodies like taxies thereof, wherein it is possible to detect precisely the current location of the person who possesses the terminal device by itself, and when the center station receives the information emitted from the terminal device, it allows for showing the location of the person carrying the terminal device, which device is designed for obtaining the current location by correcting the positioning data by an output of the magnetic sensor contained inside while receiving GPS signals from GPS satellite together with a center station which receives at least the information of the current location emitted from the terminal device which shows the current location of the terminal device and informs the relevant institution thereof.

Claims

1. An informing system provided with a center station capable of informing the relevant institutions, which system receives GPS signal from the GPS satellite, having a terminal device searching for the current location by correcting the positioning data on the basis of an output of the magnetic sensor contained therein, while receiving at least the information concerning the current location emitted from the terminal device and showing the current location of the terminal device.

2. The informing system according to the claim 1, wherein the relevant institutions are a police department, fire extinguishing service, a rescue organization, welfare organization and hospitals or taxies and other movable bodies.

3. The informing system according to the claim 1, wherein a gait detective sensor is contained inside the terminal device to correct the present location.

4. The informing system according to the claim 1, wherein the terminal device is provided with a plurality of mode measures to select the relevant institutions.

5. The informing system according to the claim 1, wherein the terminal device prohibits the constant emission of the information signal when it is locked, and has a locking measure capable of emitting the information signal constantly when it is unlocked.

6. The informing system according to the claim 1, wherein the terminal device is provided with a function of a mobile phone.
