Abstract
In a wireless communication system, a vehicle communication apparatus and a portable communication apparatus provide service in cooperation. Both the apparatuses execute in cooperation each of a first application and a second application. When switching from the first application to the second application, a connection destination of a specific profile used in both the apparatuses is switched from the first application to the second application. This improves the connection of profiles.

8. A vehicle communication apparatus comprising:
-
an in-vehicle profile connection device that connects a profile with an in-portable profile connection device of a portable communication apparatus; an in-vehicle application execution device that executes a first application using the profile connected by the in-vehicle profile connection device; and a determination device that determines a switching request of an executing state of an application, the vehicle communication apparatus further comprising an in-vehicle profile connection control device that controls connection of the profile 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 request upon 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 a second application is executed in cooperation with the in-vehicle application execution device and the in-portable application execution device, the in-vehicle profile connection control device switches from a connection of a first profile used to execute the first application between the in-vehicle profile connection device and the in-portable profile connection device to 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, whereas upon 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 in-vehicle profile connection control device switches from 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.
