Bluetooth communicator, short range wireless communicator and program

A computer program product for Bluetooth communications, comprising a computer program mechanism embedded in a computer readable medium for causing a computer to:

• transmit a request to another Bluetooth communicator, while maintaining a connection for a first profile with the another Bluetooth communicator, the request being for a connection for a second profile different from the first profile;
• determine whether the another Bluetooth communicator is multi-profile compatible, according to a response from the another Bluetooth communicator;
• and
• execute a process for the second profile while maintaining the connection for the first profile, based on the determination that the another Bluetooth communicator is multi-profile compatible.

A short-range wireless communicator, comprising:

• a connection request transmission means for transmitting a request to another short-range wireless communicator, while maintaining a connection for a first function with the another short-range wireless communicator, the request being for a connection for a second function different from the first function;
• a determination means for determining whether the another short-range wireless communicator is multi-function compatible, according to a response to the request from the another short-range wireless communicator;
• and
• a multi-function processing means for executing a process for providing the second function while maintaining the connection for the first function, based on the determination that the another short-range wireless communicator is multi-function compatible.
