First Claim
1. An in-vehicle apparatus, comprising:
- a short range wireless communication device connecting a protocol, with a portable terminal present within a short range wireless communication area;
an operation reception device receiving a predetermined operation from a user;
a query output device outputting query information for querying the user whether to register a function; and
a controllerestablishing a connection standby state between the short range wireless communication device and the portable terminal for connecting protocols corresponding to functions included in the portable terminal to thereby register the functions in association with the portable terminal, respectively, andestablishing, after registering the functions, a connection state of the protocols corresponding to the functions, respectively,wherein;
after establishing the connection standby state between the short range wireless communication device and the portable terminal and then registering a first protocol corresponding to a first function in association with the portable terminal,the controller determines whether the portable terminal includes a second function different from the first function;
when it is determined that the portable terminal includes the second function,the controller causes the query output device to output query information for querying the user whether to register the second function; and
when the operation reception device receives an operation for affirming the registering of the second function,the controllerregisters the second function in association with the portable terminal, which is registered in association with the first function to connect a second protocol corresponding to the second function between the short range wireless communication device and the portable terminal.
