Emergency alarm terminal and emergency alarm system

Abstract

The invention provides an emergency communication system terminal apparatus and an emergency communication system which can maintain the operation of the emergency communication system terminal apparatus by the supply of power from an auxiliary battery and can continue the supply of power to a microphone module also in the case in which power supply from a main battery is interrupted. More specifically, in the invention, emergency message communicating means (11) carries out a process for receiving a transmission voice signal from a hands-free device (19) and transmitting the transmission voice signal to a center for controlling an emergency communication system such as an emergency communication center. A power controller (17) carries out a process for generating power to be supplied to a microphone module (6) from power supplied from a main battery (5) when the power is being supplied from the main battery (5). Moreover, the power controller (17) switches power supply from an auxiliary battery (18) in place of the main battery (5) when the power supply from the main battery (5) is interrupted.
