On the other hand, since no magnet is fitted in the condition setting unit 52, the Hall element of the condition detection unit 32 is turned off.

  Information on the condition setting means 5 is input to the data processing apparatus 1 through the condition detection means 3. The data processing device 1 searches the setting storage unit 21 in the storage device 2 for notification means. As a result, the hands-free function by FM wireless becomes effective, and the setting frequency is set to 76 MHz.

  In this state (when mobile device A is installed in holder B), when mobile device A enters a call state, the sound is output through the FM wireless module, and the sound is output from the car speaker via the car's FM tuner. .

  Note that a user or the like having a plurality of cars can realize the setting according to the audio equipment of the car by switching the frequency according to the setting of the condition setting unit 32.

  Hereinafter, other embodiments of the present invention will be described. The basic configuration is the same as described above, but the configurations of the condition detection means 3 and the condition setting means 5 are changed. The configuration is shown in FIG.

The condition detection unit 33 and the condition detection unit 34 of the mobile device C are configured with Hall elements for detecting the magnetic force of the magnet.

  In the present embodiment, it is assumed that a magnet is inserted into the condition setting unit 53 and the condition setting unit 54 configured as grooves on the stick D.

  The setting storage unit 22 is defined to output from the FM wireless module at a frequency of 78 MHz when the condition detection unit 33 is ON and the condition detection unit 34 is ON.

  When the stick D is inserted into the mobile device C, the Hall elements of the condition detection unit 33 and the condition detection unit 34 are turned on by the magnets inserted in the condition setting unit 53 and the condition setting unit 54.

  Information on the condition setting means 5 is input to the data processing apparatus 1 through the condition detection means 3. The data processing device 1 searches for an output unit from the setting storage unit 22 in the storage device 2. As a result, a setting for hands-free output at a frequency of 78 MHz is obtained from the FM wireless module.

  In this state (when the stick D is inserted into the mobile device C), when the mobile device C enters a call state, the sound is output through the FM wireless module, and the sound is output from the car speaker via the car FM tuner. The
