setting a base station positional information indicating the position of a base station to the first positional information, if it is determined that there is not the GPS-based second positional information.

8 . The information processing method according to claim 6 , comprising:

setting a GPS-based third positional information to a GPS-based fourth positional information of the information processing apparatus indicating the present address of the information processing apparatus at a higher precision than the predetermined precision, after accepting an instruction of starting an urgent emergency state occurrence report process;

creating a second mail based on the mail destination information and the transmission mail text information that are previously stored, and the GPS-based fourth positional information of the information processing apparatus, and

transmitting the second mail to another information processing apparatus.

9 . The information processing method according to claim 6 , comprising:

determining whether or not a GPS-based fifth positional information is being acquired, when an instruction of starting the urgent emergency state occurrence report process is accepted;

starting an GPS-based acquisition process for the positional information if the GPS-based fifth positional information is not being acquired when the instruction of starting the urgent emergency state occurrence report process is accepted, and

continue the GPS-based acquisition process for the GPS-based fifth positional information if the GPS-based fifth positional information is being acquired when the instruction of starting the urgent emergency state occurrence report process is accepted.

10 . A program product for enabling an information processing apparatus to perform information processing, comprising:

an acquisition unit configured to acquire a positional information of the information processing apparatus;

a first setting unit configured to set a predetermined positional information among the positional information acquired by the acquisition unit to a first positional information indicating a present address of the information processing apparatus at a predetermined precision;
