1. A wireless communication system comprising:

  • a vehicle communication apparatus that includesan in-vehicle profile connection device that connects one or more profiles, andan in-vehicle application execution device that executes a first application using at least a first profile of the one or more profiles connected by the in-vehicle profile connection device; and

    a portable communication apparatus that includesan in-portable profile connection device that connects one or more profiles of the one or more profiles, andan in-portable application execution device that executes a second application using the first profile of one or more of the one or more profiles connected by the in-portable profile connection device,the wireless communication system connecting the first profile that specifies short-range wireless communication of data between the in-vehicle profile connection device and the in-portable profile connection device, when the in-vehicle application execution device and the in-portable application execution device execute any one of the first application and the second application,the wireless communication system further comprising;

    a determination device that determines a switching request of an executing state of an application; and

    a profile connection control device that controls connection of one or more profiles of the one or more profiles between the in-vehicle profile connection device and the in-portable profile connection device,wherein the determination device determines a switching request wherein the switching request is either a first switching request or a second switching requestupon the determination device determining the first switching request from a first executing state to a second executing state,the first executing state in which the first application is executed in cooperation with the in-vehicle application execution device and the in-portable application execution device,the second executing state in which the second application is executed in cooperation with the in-vehicle application execution device and the in-portable application execution device,the profile connection control device switchesfrom a connection of the first profile used to execute the first application between the in-vehicle profile connection device and the in-portable profile connection deviceto a connection of the first profile used to execute the second application between the in-vehicle profile connection device and the in-portable profile connection device, whereasupon the determination device determining the second switching request from the second executing state to the first executing state, the second switching request being inverse to the first switching request in switching direction between the first executing state and the second executing state,the profile connection control device switchesfrom the connection of the first profile used to execute the second application between the in-vehicle profile connection device and the in-portable profile connection device,to the connection of the first profile used to execute the first application between the in-vehicle profile connection device and the in-portable profile connection device.
