b) wirelessly connecting the hands-free device to the message-receiving-end mobile device, and connecting the hands-free device to Internet;
c) sending a message from a message-sending-end mobile device at a message-sending end, by a communication software installed on the message-sending-end mobile device to the message-receiving-end mobile device, and fetching, by the application program of the hands-free mobile device, the message-receiving-end mobile device to obtain a notification message which is sent from a server storing the communication software and received by the message-receiving-end mobile device;
d) analyzing, by the application program of the hands-free device, the notification message to obtain a type, a sender and a content of the notification message, and displaying the notification message on a display screen of the hands-free device;
e) voice replying, if the application program of the hands-free device detects that the sender of the notification message matches the contact list data of the application program, the hands-free device will be switched to a voice recording mode to start recording a voice message, then sending the voice message, by the application program of the hands-free device, to the message-sending-end mobile device, so that the message-sending-end mobile device at the message sending end hears the voice message reply from the message receiving end; and
f) if the application program of the hands-free device detects that the sender of the notification message does not match the contact list data of the application program, then comparing the sender of the notification message with a contact list data stored in the message-receiving-end mobile device, and if a matched telephone number is found, thenf1) switching the hands-free device to the voice recording mode to start recording a voice message, then sending the voice message to the private server and temporarily storing the voice message in the private server via the application program; and
f2) sending a prompt message to the message-sending-end mobile device by the application program, wherein the prompt message is a short message service message, and a content of the prompt message is a website address for downloading the application program to prompt a user of the message-sending-end mobile device to download and install the application program, when the user of the message-sending-end mobile device downloads, installs, registers and starts using the application program, the application program of the message-sending-end mobile device is connected to the private server to fetch the voice message temporarily stored in the private server, and the message-sending-end mobile device plays the voice message from the message receiving end.

Abstract
A method of receiving and replying messages with a hands-free device includes a step of application installation; a step of connection; a step of communication; a step of analyzing the notification message; and a step of voice replying. With the method, text messages sent between mobile devices can be converted into voice messages, so that the user does not have to fetch the mobile device and read the text message, which improves the driving safety when communication is conducted during driving. The user also replies with voice message, which further improves drive safety. Furthermore, the method will prompt the message sending end to install an application program when there is no application program at the message sending end, consequently all potential contacts can be ensured to install the application program.
