Hands-free apparatus, data transfer method, and computer-readable medium

A hands-free apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a hardware processor coupled to the memory, the hardware processor being configured to:
• perform a hands-free connection process of connecting to a mobile phone by using a hands-free communication protocol for performing a hands-free phone conversation;
• perform a first data transfer process after making a first connection with the mobile phone by using a data transfer protocol for transferring phone data related to the mobile phone, and causing the phone data to be transferred from the mobile phone;
• depending on a status of a different data transfer process than the first data transfer process, perform transfer control related to transfer by at least one of the first data transfer process and the different data transfer process;
• make a second connection with the mobile phone or a different communication device, and perform a second data transfer process based on the second connection as the different data transfer process;
• in a case where the first data transfer process is being performed when the second data transfer process is to be started, perform one of transfer control for lowering a transfer speed in the first data transfer process and transfer control for stopping the first data transfer process;
• when performing the transfer control for stopping the first data transfer process that is being performed, cause the transferred phone data to be held;
• and
• when performing transfer control for starting the first data transfer process after the second data transfer process is ended, cause remaining phone data, which has not been transferred, to be transferred.
