Relay apparatus and relay method
First Claim
1. A relay apparatus under which plural terminal devices are arranged, comprising:
- a mobile communication network connection unit which connects, to a mobile communication network, calls originated from the terminal devices;
a packet switching network connection unit which connects, to a packet switching network, the calls originated from the terminal devices; and
an emergency call determination unit which determines whether or not the calls originated from the terminal devices are emergency calls, and when the calls are the emergency calls, connects the emergency calls to the mobile communication network connection unit, wherein, when the calls are the emergency calls, the mobile communication network connection unit connects the emergency calls to the mobile communication network by issuing thereto a notice on an identification number of the relay apparatus, the identification number being stored in an IC card attached to the relay apparatus.

Abstract
Plural terminal devices are arranged under a relay apparatus. The relay apparatus includes a mobile communication network connection unit, a packet switching network connection unit, and an emergency call determination unit. The emergency call determination unit determines whether or not the calls originated from the terminal devices are emergency calls, and when the calls are the emergency calls, connects the emergency calls to the mobile communication network connection unit. When the calls are the emergency calls, the mobile communication network connection unit connects the emergency calls to the mobile communication network by issuing thereto a notice on an identification number of the relay apparatus, the identification number being stored in an IC card attached to the relay apparatus.
