Abstract

A method for controlling a Bluetooth connection according an embodiment of the present disclosure includes requesting a confirmation of connectable profiles from a vehicle to a terminal, and responding to the connectable profiles in response to the confirmation request, requesting a first connection of the connectable profiles, determining whether a hands-free profile of the connected profiles is connected based on the connection request, and requesting a second connection of the hands-free profile of the connectable profiles prior to other profiles of the connectable profiles which are not connected, when it is determined that the connection of the hands-free profile is failed.

Claims

1. A method for controlling a Bluetooth connection comprising steps of:

requesting a confirmation of connectable profiles from a vehicle to a terminal, and responding to the connectable profiles in response to the confirmation request;

requesting a first connection of the connectable profiles;

determining whether a hands-free profile of the connected profiles is connected based on the connection request; and

requesting a second connection of the hands-free profile of the connectable profiles prior to other profiles of the connectable profiles which are not connected, when it is determined that the connection of the hands-free profile is failed.

2. A method for controlling a Bluetooth connection according to claim 1, wherein requesting of the first connection and the requesting of the second connection comprise continually attempting the connection request of the hands-free profile and the connectable profiles up to 3 times, respectively, wherein when the connection of a particular profile of the connectable profiles is failed, the connection of another profile is attempted.

3. A method for controlling a Bluetooth connection comprising steps of:

requesting a connection of an Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) from a vehicle to a terminal;

requesting a connection of an Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) from the vehicle to the terminal;

determining whether the A2DP and the AVRCP are connected;

entering a Bluetooth streaming mode between the vehicle and the terminal while a menu controlling a streaming is not displayed, when only the A2DP is connected based on the determination; and

entering a Bluetooth streaming mode between the vehicle and the terminal while a menu controlling a streaming is displayed, when both of the A2DP and AVRCP are connected based on the determination.

4. A vehicle collision avoidance apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the menu controlling a streaming includes a play button that plays audio or video played in the Bluetooth streaming mode, a pause button that stops the play, and an area in which information for the audio and the video is displayed.
