embodiment 1

[0039] Embodiment 1

[0040] Recently, mobile phones have been widely used due to their convenience and mobility. Nevertheless, a problem with the mobile phone is that it is difficult to use while driving an automobile. When one is driving, his or her hands are occupied with the steering wheel, as well as signaling. In particular, if the phone is in a bag or in a pocket, it is difficult to make or receive a call while one is driving. In order to address this problem, many manufacturers are providing so-called hands-free systems. In a typical hands-free system, the user should place the mobile phone in the holder of the hands-free system and connect a cord. Then, the user can make or receive a call through the microphone and speaker of the hands-free system without holding the phone to his or her ear and mouth. Some hands-free systems use the automobile's sound system. However, it is rather inconvenient to take out the mobile phone and place it in the holder and connect a cord each time...

embodiment 2

[0056] Embodiment 2

[0057] Sometimes, more than one driver might drive the same automobile and each driver has his or her own mobile phone. In this case, when the automobile mobile phone installed inside the automobile is turned on and begins sending signals to a base station, the telephone company system cannot know which driver is actually driving the automobile. In order to address this problem, the present invention also provides the automobile mobile phone with identification-sending means to send information on the driver to the telephone company system. In other words, when there are several drivers whose telephone numbers are registered with the telephone number of the automobile mobile phone and one of the drivers is going to drive, the driver enters his or her telephone number into the automobile mobile phone using an input panel 190 (FIG. 9). The input panel 281 is connected to the automobile mobile phone 280 through an interface cable 282 and the automobile mobile phone r...

embodiment 3

[0067] Embodiment 3

[0068] Although a number of drivers can use the same automobile mobile phone by using the input panel, it is rather inconvenient to enter the telephone number or press a memory button whenever the driver is going to drive the automobile. In order to address this problem, according to the idea and teaching of the present invention, the telephone number of a driver is stored in the automobile key. When the driver starts the automobile, the information stored in the automobile key is sent to the automobile mobile phone and the automobile mobile phone transmits this information to the telephone company system. As described previously, the information may be sent as a textual information. The transmission of this information from the automobile key to the automobile mobile phone can be made through either a wired connection or wireless connection. In other words, when the driver places the key into the key ignition to start the automobile, the key can send this informa...
