Abstract: A Bluetooth device capable of selecting profile and method of transmission data thereof. The Bluetooth device uses information polled from neighboring Bluetooth devices to determine if the neighboring Bluetooth devices have a profile and/or mode of operation that is compatible with a user selected operation. If a device's profile is compatible with the user selected operation, a list of suitable devices and/or profiles is displayed to the user. The user can thereby select which profile to use and/or which device to use for performing the selected operation. Additionally, profiles that are presented to the user may be displayed in a hierarchal order, enabling the user to quickly select a “best” profile. Accordingly, unsuccessful execution of applications with non-compatible, or less than optimal Bluetooth devices can be avoided as well as unsuccessful execution of application with non-connected neighboring Bluetooth devices.
