A wireless device uses profiles associated with one or more contexts, which defines various operating situations. Depending on a context, the wireless device changes its operational behavior in accordance with a defined profile, when a context parameter changes. Among other things, the context can correspond to a wireless device location, user age, skill, or gender, or ambient environmental factors, such as temperature. For example, based on a profile associated with a location, the wireless device can change its operational behavior relative to sharing resources with other devices. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In accordance with the invention, a wireless device uses profiles that are associated with one or more contexts.
The contexts can define various situations under which the wireless device operates.
Depending on a context, the wireless device changes its operational behavior in accordance with a defined profile, for example, when a context parameter changes.
Among other things, the context can correspond to a wireless device location, user age, skill, or gender, or even ambient environmental factors, such as temperature.
For example, based on a profile associated with a location, the wireless device can change its operational behavior relative to sharing resources with other devices.
Other contexts could include wireless network connectivity capability, ID and type of "communicated to" device.
The profile associated with a context can have one or more parameters that define the operational behavior of the wireless device in terms of one or more operating modes of the wireless device.
The operating modes of the wireless device can relate to its discoverability, connectability, pairing, security, and idle modes, among other things.
For example, a parameter can correspond to an auto respond parameter, whereby the wireless device can automatically respond to requests, without user interaction.
Alternatively, the parameter can relate to data sharing, allowing other devices to access data stored in the wireless device.
Other parameters can relate to seeking other devices, responding to printers, network devices, or peer devices.
More specifically, the wireless device of the present invention includes a receiver and transmitter that communicate information with other devices over the wireless links.
In this way, the wireless device can allow access to its own resources, e.
g.
, shared data, or to the resources offered by the other devices.
A storage device stores the profiles and their associated parameters.
A controller, that has access to the profile parameters, changes the operation behavior of the wireless device in accordance with a profile
