Abstract
A circuit and method for personalizing an electronic device (,) through a personal area network (,). Electron devices (,) have transceivers (,) for transmitting a self-initiated message that includes an identification code of the electronic device. Transceivers (,) are also capable of receiving a self-initiated message sent from other electronic devices. The received message causes a response message to be transmitted in response to the identification code in the self-initiated message. Communication between two electron devices (,′ and,″) is established when the devices are determined to be compatible. The application of the electronic device is configured based on the response message and data is displayed by the electronic device based on the application.
