`
`Claim 1
`
`1. A method of operating a vehicle audio system having a wired audio source, a display, 
`multiple speakers and a logic circuit configured to: 
`sense the availability of a wireless audio device that is located within or proximate to the 
`vehicle;
`identify a wireless audio device record from among a plurality of different wireless audio 
`device records previously identified and stored in memory, wherein the wireless device 
`record includes previously identified data codes from the wireless audio device and from 
`a first software application running on the wireless audio device;
`responsive to identifying the data codes and first software application running on the 
`wireless audio device from the stored record, download a copy of a second software 
`application selected from the memory and process data from the wireless audio device 
`with the second software application;
`provide a user with an option to direct sound from the wireless audio device through at 
`least a first one of the speakers of the vehicle audio system or back to a speaker in the 
`wireless audio device.

`
`1. A method of operating a 
`vehicle audio system having a 
`wired audio source, a display, 
`multiple speakers and a logic 
`circuit configured to: 
`
`Note: Toyota Entune is an integrated
`multimedia navigation and telematics
`system for Toyota automobiles.
`Toyota provides the Entune
`Infotainment System for its Tundra
`trucks. Entune supports Apple
`CarPlay, Android Auto, and Entune
`Bluetooth Audio (Toyota’s version of
`CarPlay/Android Auto). It has a
`graphical interface touchscreen
`Display which allows operation of the
`Audio System. The vehicle has a
`complete set of Speakers for audio
`output. Entune has multiple wired
`Audio Sources (including AM, FM
`and SiriusXM Satellite radio, and
`other devices such as smart phones
`which can be connected wirelessly
`or by a USB cable). A main
`microprocessor and many other
`processors are integrated into a
`multiprocessor system composed of
`many logic circuits.

`
`Note: The Bluetooth standard
`establishes a Bluetooth link
`using inquirer and receiver
`protocols to automatically
`detect and authenticate
`relationships between the
`driver’s Bluetooth-enabled cell
`phone (audio source) and the
`Tundra Entune Infotainment
`System. Once the cell phone
`is within range and the vehicle
`is turned on, connection is
`automatic.

`
`Note: Many wireless devices
`(smartphones) can be paired to
`the Bluetooth system (Entune).
`For each of these devices there
`is a device record established in
`the process of pairing the
`smartphone (audio source) that
`uniquely identifies each
`smartphone. Software
`applications on the smartphone
`such as a phone and a music
`player capability can be paired at
`the same time to Entune.

`from the wireless audio 
`device with the second 
`software application;
`
`Note: When the smartphone is
`connected to Entune by Bluetooth,
`Entune responds to the first
`software application running on the
`phone such as the Phone app. This
`allows a second software on
`Entune to be executed which allows
`full control of phone calls from the
`Entune phone app, including
`making calls using voice control,
`dialing a number, or speaking on
`the phone call. If music is playing
`from the smartphone it will be
`interrupted for the incoming or
`outgoing call and resume
`afterwards.

`the wireless audio device 
`through at least a first one of

`speaker in the wireless audio 
`device.
`
`Note: The smartphone is
`connected by Bluetooth to Entune
`and a phone call is in progress.
`The Phone app is in the Handsfree
`setting which is directing the sound
`from the phone call on the
`smartphone to the Tundra Entune
`speaker system. To switch to the
`handset (smartphone) during a
`call, tap Handset Mode on the
`touch screen. The sound will be
`directed back to the Handset
`(smartphone). Tapping the menu
`item which now reads “Handsfree”
`sends the sound back to the
`Tundra Entune speakers.
