Embodiment Construction

[0017] refer to figure 1 , the user's living space includes a plurality of telephone connections 10 , such as the telephone connections in the first room 12 and the second room 14 . In the second room 14 , a personal emergency response system (PERS) includes a base communication unit 16 interconnected with a telephone connection 10 . Optionally, a telephone 18 is connected to the telephone jack 10 via the base unit 16 . In another room 12 , the PERS also includes at least one extended speakerphone unit 20 connected to the telephone connector 10 . Optionally, a telephone 22 is interconnected with the telephone jack 10 via an extension unit 20 . There may be additional rooms like room 12 with additional extension units 20, but such rooms are not shown. A user wears or carries an RF remote unit 30 that includes a panic button 32 . When the user presses the panic button 32 or similar panic button on the base unit, the base unit 16 dials the operation of a call center 38 via th...

Abstract

A personal emergency response system (PERS) includes a base unit (16) and one or more extension units (20). The base unit includes a speaker (64), a microphone (72), a telephone interface circuit (40), a microcontroller (46), and an autodialer (48). Each extension unit includes a speaker (164), a microphone (172), a telephone interface circuit (140), and a controller (146) without an autodialer. The base unit controller (46) and the extension unit controller (146) are programmed such that in a help mode, the base unit controller and the extension unit controller assume a master / slave relationship.

Description

technical field [0001] This application has particular application to Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) and will be described with specific reference thereto. However, it should be appreciated that the present application is also applicable to other types of personal communication systems. Background technique [0002] Personal emergency response systems typically include a base unit that, when activated by a user, automatically calls a call center. The user can typically press a call or panic button on the base unit or on a remote RF unit carried by the user to activate the automatic call. The base unit is typically used as a speakerphone to establish voice communication between the call center and the user, who may or may not be at the base unit. For example, the user may have fallen and may not be able to stand or move to the base unit. [0003] The problem some users have is that their living space is such that a single base unit is not enough. A user may no...
