  In FIG. 2, the flowchart of the control part 16 of the smart phone 1 is shown. Here, a case where Bluetooth communication is connected and disconnected between the smartphone 1 and the vehicle-mounted device 2 will be described. When an application for automatically connecting Bluetooth communication with the vehicle-mounted device 2 registered in advance is activated in response to a user operation, the control unit 16 periodically performs the processing illustrated in FIG. In addition, the smart phone 1 and the onboard equipment 2 shall perform operation called pairing previously, and shall complete registration of apparatuses. Moreover, the memory of the control part 16 of the smart phone 1 shall memorize | store the positional information on the vehicle at the time of the vehicle carrying the onboard equipment 2 stopping at the end.

  First, the connection partner is searched (S100). Here, a search for connection partners paired in advance in Bluetooth communication is performed.

  Next, it is determined whether a connection partner has been found (S102). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the vehicle-mounted device 2 has been searched as a connection partner as a result of the search in S100. Here, when the vehicle-mounted device 2 is not searched as a connection partner, the determination in S102 is NO and the process returns to S100.

  When the vehicle-mounted device 2 is searched as a connection partner, the determination in S102 is YES, and then it is determined whether or not the user gets on the vehicle (S104). Specifically, based on the information for specifying the current position input from the GPS receiver 14 and the position information stored last in the memory of the control unit 16, the current position and the vehicle The distance is repeatedly calculated, and it is determined whether or not the user gets on the vehicle based on whether or not the distance between the current position and the vehicle is less than the reference value.

If the distance between the position of the smartphone 1 (current position) and the vehicle is equal to or greater than the reference value, the determination in S104 is NO and the process returns to S100. When the user who has the smartphone 1 approaches the vehicle and the distance between the position of the smartphone 1 (current position) and the vehicle is less than the reference value, it is determined that the user gets on the vehicle, and the determination in S104 is YES. In addition, a Bluetooth communication connection with the vehicle-mounted device 2 is performed via the Bluetooth communication unit 14 so as to obtain a connection form suitable for the user's action (S106). Thus if the user is determined to get on the vehicle, a predetermined profile associated with the call, music player (HFP, A2DP, AVRCP) without connections Bluetooth communication using the data communication related profile ( Bluetooth communication using SPP) is performed.

  When the Bluetooth communication connection using the profile (SPP) relating to data communication is completed, a welcome message is output (S108). Specifically, a message “WELCOME” is displayed on the display unit 10. Further, a message “Bluetooth is available. When the ignition switch is turned on, Bluetooth communication using HFP, A2DP, and AVRCP is also available” is displayed on the display unit 10.

  Next, the vehicle information reception wait state is entered (S110). Specifically, it is in a standby state for receiving an ignition on signal (IG-ON signal).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the user starts traveling of the vehicle based on whether or not an ignition on signal (IG-ON signal) has been received (S112). Here, when the ignition on signal is not received, it is determined that the user does not start traveling of the vehicle, the determination in S112 is NO, and the process returns to the determination in S110.

Further, when an ignition-on signal is received from the vehicle-mounted device 2 via Bluetooth communication using a profile (SPP) relating to data communication, it is determined that the user starts driving the vehicle, and the determination in S112 is YES, Bluetooth communication is connected to the vehicle-mounted device 2 via the Bluetooth communication unit 14 so as to obtain a connection form suitable for the user's action (S114).

  Next, after the vehicle door is opened based on the door opening / closing signal, it is determined whether the user has exited the vehicle based on whether the vehicle door is closed (S126). Here, if the vehicle door is not closed after the vehicle door is opened based on the door opening / closing signal, it is determined that the user has not got off the vehicle, the determination in S126 is NO, and the process returns to S124.

  Further, when it is determined that the vehicle door is closed after the vehicle door is opened based on the door opening / closing signal, it is determined whether or not the user gets out of the vehicle. Attention determination information for determining whether or not predetermined alerting is possible is obtained from the device via Bluetooth communication (S128). Here, the alerting determination information includes a door lock signal for determining whether the door of the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the communication state is abnormal (S130). Specifically, it is determined whether or not the communication state is abnormal based on whether or not the received signal strength (RSSI) of the radio wave for Bluetooth communication transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 2 is less than a predetermined reference value. .

  If the received signal strength (RSSI) is greater than or equal to the reference value, the determination in S130 is NO and the process returns to S128. If the user who has the smartphone 1 leaves the vehicle and the received signal strength (RSSI) becomes less than the reference value, the determination in S130 is YES, and then Bluetooth is set so that the connection form is suitable for the user's behavior. The Bluetooth communication with the vehicle-mounted device 2 through the communication unit 14 is disconnected (S132). As described above, when the user gets off the vehicle and the received signal strength (RSSI) of the radio wave for Bluetooth communication transmitted from the vehicle-mounted device 2 is less than the reference value, the profile (SPP) for data communication is used. Disconnected Bluetooth communication.

  Next, based on the alert determination information acquired in S128, it is determined whether there is information to alert the user (S134). Specifically, when it is determined that the door of the vehicle is not locked based on the door lock signal included in the alert determination information, it is determined that there is information to alert the user.

  Here, if it is determined that the vehicle door is not locked based on the door lock signal, the determination in S134 is YES, and then the “inadvertent notification” application is activated, and the “inadvertent notification” Is implemented (S136). Note that the “inadvertent notification” application is an application that performs notification to prevent a user's inadvertent mistake. Specifically, a message indicating that the door of the vehicle is not locked is output to the display unit 10, and the present process is terminated.

  If it is determined in S134 that there is no information to alert the user, the “inadvertent notification” application is started, and this processing is terminated without causing the app to perform “inadvertent notification”. To do.
