Abstract

The disclosure discloses a Bluetooth-based system for automatically matching a vehicle-mounted device with a mobile phone terminal. The system controls a vehicle-mounted device and a mobile phone terminal to turn on/off their respective Bluetooth function based on a vehicle ignition switch signal. In such a way, the driver needn'"'"'t to turn on, match, and turn off the Bluetooth functions of the vehicle-mounted device and the mobile phone terminal manually. More intelligentized, convenient and efficient service is provided for the drivers and the power of the mobile phone terminal can be saved.

Claims
