Abstract
When a wireless communications module, such as a Bluetooth transceiver in a vehicle, is confronted with numerous devices that it can choose to connect to, one particular device of many is chosen by the Bluetooth transceiver by determining a connection priority for each available, connectible device. Priority can be determined by factors that change over time and for different users and different devices. Examples include time of day, day of the week, direction, who is driving a vehicle, where a vehicle is going, and where a vehicle has been. The importance of any given factor can be user-specified or programmed into the Bluetooth transceiver.
