Abstract: An emergency reporting apparatus for a vehicle that reports an accident to a predetermined receiving center, where the apparatus necessarily exists in the vehicle when an accident happens, makes it possible to report an emergency without requiring the passenger to perform a troublesome operation such as the connection to a predetermined part when he/she gets into the vehicle, and allows medical support to be provided without delay by specifying each occupant. The apparatus includes a vehicle-mounted terminal that detects when an accident happened to the vehicle and performs short distance communication in a non-contact manner to send information concerning the accident, and a portable terminal, that is a mobile telephone, includes a keyless entry control for unlocking or locking a door of the vehicle and performs short distance communication with the vehicle-mounted terminal in the non-contact manner, and transmits the accident information to a report receiving center.

Abstract: A emergency communication device which performs self diagnosing by repeatedly transmitting a weak signal, which can only be received by an antenna, among a plurality of antennas in a fixed time interval. When the weak signal is not received due to the occurrence of an accident, theft or the like, the occurrence of the emergency is communicated to an emergency data receiving center.
