Cooperation system, navigation system, in-vehicle apparatus and portable terminal
First Claim
1. A cooperation system comprising:
- an in-vehicle apparatus disposed in a vehicle and including a display unit; and
a portable terminal communicably coupled with the in-vehicle apparatus, the portable terminal executing an application program to perform a function, the application program defining setting information, whereinthe in-vehicle apparatus displays on the display unit information transmitted from the portable terminal based on execution of the application program by the portable terminal,the in-vehicle apparatus comprises;
a setting information acquisition section acquiring, from the portable terminal, the setting information at a time of execution of the application program by the portable terminal;
a setting information storage section storing the setting information acquired by the setting information acquisition section; and
a restart time transmission section transmitting to the portable terminal the setting information stored by the setting information storage section when the in-vehicle apparatus determines a non-responsive condition of the application program and after a restart of the application program due to the non-responsive condition, andthe portable terminal comprises;
a setting information transmission section transmitting to the in-vehicle apparatus the setting information of the application program; and
a reset section resuming the application program after the determination of the non-responsive condition and for storing the setting information transmitted from the in-vehicle apparatus, the reset section executing the application program to perform the function based on the setting information received from the restart time transmission section of the in-vehicle apparatus;
wherein the application program of the portable terminal is non-responsive despite uninterrupted communication coupling with the portable terminal.

Abstract
A portable terminal executing an application program for realizing a predetermined function may not require a re-input operation of setting information and may reduce a restart time of the predetermined function by way of an in-vehicle apparatus. Specifically, the in-vehicle apparatus acquires and stores the setting information from the portable terminal. When a forced termination of the application program is detected, the in-vehicle apparatus transmits the setting information to the portable terminal after the application program is restarted by the portable terminal. The setting information from the in-vehicle apparatus enables the portable terminal to perform an auto-resetting process for redefining/resetting the setting information in order to resumes the application program.
