The present invention relates to a card holder with a whistle to which an RFID tag is added, which sounds the alarm and reflects the radio wave from the RFID transmitter by the RFID tag to read the data of the RFID tag to clarify the location.

When a company encounters an emergency such as a natural disaster, a large fire, or a terrorist attack, it should be carried out in normal time to minimize the damage to business assets and enable the core business to continue or recover quickly. The drafting of a business continuity plan (BCP), which sets out methods and means for business activities and business continuity in an emergency, is being reviewed by small and medium-sized enterprises.

When an employee belonging to a company encounters the above-mentioned emergency, there is a risk that the employee may be trapped in a collapsed building, a tunnel, a subway yard, or the like. The quickest way to escape from such a place to the outside is to give a loud voice to the outside rescuer to inform him of his whereabouts. As an alternative, using a whistle with a whistle is less exhausting than screaming, and is much more effective for informing the outside world. Therefore, a combination of a credit card and a cash card (Patent Document 1) and an integrated card (Patent Document 2) are known. On the other hand, the applicant has integrated a horn with a card case that stores cards such as employee ID cards and ID cards that are always worn both inside and outside the office, and notifies the horn during a disaster or emergency, and also the transmitter. Has developed and disclosed a card case that integrates a horn and a transmitter that emits radio waves to clarify its location (Patent Document 3).
