Abstract

A state of movement of a body of a person is detected in a wearable device 10, and movement information representing the state of the movement of the body which is detected is sent by wireless together with URL of a server device 30 and a terminal ID. When the sent information is received in a portable terminal 20, the portable terminal 20 gives access to the server device 30 based on the URL and transmits the movement information and the terminal ID to the server device 30. The server device 30 reports occurrence of an emergency and transmits the movement information which is processed so as to perform transfer to contact details related to the terminal ID in response to the access given from the portable terminal 20.
