Abstract
A method for preselecting resources in a personal area network includes providing (300) a plurality of communication devices with sharable resources on the personal area network. One of the communication devices is a radiotelephone used for preselecting (302) the resources for a particular personal area network configuration. These preselected resources are assigned (304) a named profile on the radiotelephone. A user can then select (306) the profile as a menu item or by a voice tag. The radiotelephone then automatically coordinates information transfer protocols (308) with the resources in the personal area network per the selected profile. The profile is used to quickly define and coordinate resources in a personal area network to suit a user'"'"'s changing environment.
