Operation regulation method, operation regulation program product, mobile terminal, vehicular apparatus, and vehicular communication system

摘要

A mobile terminal requiring operation regulation is communicably connected with a vehicular apparatus via wireless communication and executes an application for cooperating with the vehicular apparatus. An operation regulation method performed by the mobile terminal and the vehicular apparatus includes transmitting, from the vehicular apparatus to the mobile terminal, vehicle information indicating whether a vehicle including the vehicular apparatus is in a traveling state, determining, with the mobile terminal, whether the vehicle is in the traveling state based on the vehicle information when the vehicular apparatus is connected with the mobile terminal based on handsfree communication protocol, and, when the mobile terminal determines that the vehicle is in the traveling state, performing, with the mobile terminal, a regulation process for regulating one of (i) an operation of the application for cooperating with the vehicular apparatus or (ii) all or part of functions provided to the mobile terminal.

主权项

1. An operation regulation method, which is performed by a mobile terminal that requires an operation regulation and a vehicular apparatus, the mobile terminal being communicably connected with the vehicular apparatus via a wireless communication and executing an application that controls the mobile terminal to cooperate with the vehicular apparatus,
the operation regulation method comprising: transmitting, from the vehicular to the mobile terminal, vehicle information that indicates whether a vehicle provided with the vehicular apparatus is in a traveling state, using the wireless communication established between the mobile terminal and the vehicular apparatus based on a data communication protocol; determining, with the mobile terminal, whether the vehicle is in the traveling state based on the vehicle information when the wireless communication between the vehicular apparatus and the mobile terminal is established based on a handsfree communication protocol other than the data communication protocol; performing a regulation process when the mobile terminal determines that the vehicle is in the traveling state, in the regulation process, the mobile terminal regulating one of (i) an operation of the application that controls the mobile terminal to cooperate with the vehicular apparatus or (ii) all or part of functions provided to the mobile terminal; and determining, with the mobile terminal, whether the wireless communication between the mobile terminal and the vehicular apparatus is established based on the data communication protocol but not based on the handsfree communication protocol in order to disable the regulation process.
