Patent number: 7127229Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a cellular phone to be used for emergency reports that performs GPS positioning by means of remote control from an emergency report center, and transmits positional information to the emergency report center. The emergency report cellular phone according to the present invention is constituted such that when an emergency report switch thereof is depressed, a call request is made to the emergency report center. The emergency report center transmits a response signal with the result that a call link is formed between the emergency report cellular phone and the emergency report center. Following completion of the telephone call, the emergency report center transmits a position recalculation command message, by means of a DTMF signal.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2002Date of Patent: October 24, 2006Assignee: Uniden CorporationInventors: Yoshihiko Baba, Teruhide Kunimitsu, Kenji Sekine, Mikio Iwakuni, Katsuhiro Miyamoto, Toshiaki Yuasa, Toshihiro Takahashi, Norio Abe, Shuji Konishi, Tadashi Kogure, Jun Yoshida, Katsuya Kaneda, Isao Ohki, Masaru Akiyama, Masato Suzuki
