Patent ID: 8599811

Claim:
A broadband communication apparatus for implementing a telephone service, comprising: a broadband communication module configured to provide an interaction channel between a terminal and a broadband network; a wireless communication module configured to provide an interaction channel between the terminal and a wireless network; a monitoring module connected with the broadband communication module, configured to trigger a switching module when detecting a failure of the interaction channel between the terminal and the broadband network, and configured to detect whether the terminal calls an Emergency Service Center (ESC) on an interaction channel currently in use; the switching module configured to connect the interaction channel between the terminal and the broadband network and configured to connect the interaction channel between the terminal and the wireless network when triggered by the monitoring module; and a positioning module configured to identify local information based on a positioning system, wherein the local information is sent to the ESC through the wireless communication module or the broadband communication module when the monitoring module detects that the terminal calls the ESC on the interaction channel currently in use.
