Benefits of technology

"This patent describes an improved emergency reporting network system for vehicles. The system includes an emergency reporting apparatus with a microphone and a loudspeaker, as well as a handsfree system circuit for two-way speech communication with an emergency receiving center. The apparatus has a volume control circuit that allows for a constant volume level of sound generated by the loudspeaker, and can be adjusted by the user or by a loudspeaker change requirement signal transmitted from the emergency receiving center. The system also includes a detection system to detect background sound levels and adjust the volume level accordingly. The technical effects of this patent include improved emergency reporting and better sound quality in vehicles."

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, if the volume level is erroneously preset to a minimum, the user can not hear reproduced operator's voice during handsfree speech communication.

Abstract

An emergency reporting apparatus for a vehicle includes a microphone, a loudspeaker, and a handsfree system circuit. Handsfree two-way speech communication with an emergency report receiving center is allowed via the microphone, the loudspeaker, and the handsfree system circuit. A volume control circuit connected to the loudspeaker operates for controlling a volume level of sound generated by the loudspeaker at a predetermined constant level or higher. The volume control circuit may control the volume level at the predetermined constant level, and may inhibit a user from changing the volume level.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This invention relates to an emergency reporting network system for vehicles such as automotive vehicles. This invention also relates to a terminal apparatus used in an emergency reporting network system. In addition, this invention relates to a method of reporting an emergency. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] A conventional emergency communication apparatus for a vehicle is started when an emergency occurs in the vehicle. After the start, the conventional apparatus tries to connect with a police station or an emergency report receiving center via a mobile telephone network. When connection has been established, the conventional apparatus allows speech communication between a user of the apparatus and an operator in the police station or the emergency report receiving center. [0005] It is known to provide a vehicular emergency communication apparatus with a handsfree system circuit which allows hands...
