Abstract
When connecting a multi-profile device by Bluetooth, an in-vehicle apparatus performs a MAP connection establishment process in succession to an HFP connection establishment process to have a MAP connection established earlier than a conventional timing, thereby reducing a waiting period before receiving a new message arrival notification from the multi-profile device through the MAP connection.
Claims4
An in-vehicle apparatus capable of connecting multiple profiles to a pre-registered multi-profile device according to a Bluetooth standard, the apparatus comprising:
- a first connection unit that establishes an HFP profile connection to the multi-profile device for realizing an incoming call notification from the multi-profile device when the multi-profile device receives an incoming call;
- a second connection unit that establishes a MAP profile connection to the multi-profile device for realizing a new message arrival notification when the multi-profile device receives a new data message;
- a third connection unit for performing a predetermined data communication with the multi-profile device by connecting a data communication type profile other than the MAP profile;
- and
- a connection operation controller exclusively operates one of the second connection unit or the third connection unit after the first connection unit receives the incoming call notification.
