Claim:
An emergency call device that carries out an emergency call to a certain call destination when an emergency condition occurs, comprising: a first switch that is operated to carry out the emergency call; a second switch that is operated to terminate the emergency call; and a controller that controls an origination of the emergency call in response to operation of the first switch and a termination of the emergency call in response to operation of the second switch, wherein the controller includes: a determination element that determines whether recognizable data in which the certain call destination recognizes an occurrence of the emergency call is transmitted to the certain call destination when the second switch is operated after originating the emergency call in response to the operation of the first switch; a termination element that terminates the emergency call after the determination element determines that the recognizable data is transmitted; and a delay element that delays the termination of the emergency call until the determination element determines that the recognizable data is transmitted when the determination element does not determine that the recognizable data is transmitted; wherein the request of the termination of the emergency call is determined to not exist if, during the delay of the termination of the emergency call, the emergency call is requested again.
