In-vehicle handsfree apparatus and data transfer method

An in-vehicle handsfree apparatus allowing a handsfree phone call by establishing a wireless connection with a cellular phone, which stores outgoing call history data indicating a destination telephone number to which a telephone call is transmitted,

• the handsfree apparatus comprising:
• a transfer protocol control means for performing a communication using a transfer protocol for realizing transfer of the outgoing call history data stored in the cellular phone prior to the connection for the handsfree phone call when the cellular phone exists in a wireless connection area;
• an outgoing call history data reception means for receiving outgoing call history data from the cellular phone via the communication using the transfer protocol;
• a transfer protocol disconnection means for disconnecting the connected communication using the transfer protocol after receiving the outgoing call history data;
• a handsfree protocol control means for connecting automatically communication using a handsfree protocol for realizing a handsfree phone call by the cellular phone after disconnecting the connected communication using the transfer protocol;
• and
• an outgoing call history data storage means for storing the outgoing call data which is received.

An in-vehicle handsfree apparatus allowing a handsfree phone call by establishing a connection with a cellular phone, which stores incoming call history data indicating a source telephone number from which a phone call is transmitted,

• the handsfree apparatus comprising:
• a control means for communicating with the cellular phone using a transfer protocol for realizing transfer of the incoming call history data stored in the cellular phone before establishing the connection for the handsfree phone call, receiving the incoming call history data from the cellular phone, disconnecting, after receiving the incoming call history data, the communication using the transfer protocol, and connecting communication using a handsfree protocol for realizing a handsfree phone call by the cellular phone after disconnecting the communication using the transfer protocol;
• and
• an incoming call history data storage means stores incoming call history data which is received.
