Abstract: A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, facilitating an association between an access management device and each of a first and second electronic devices sharing a functional feature. The access management device includes a wireless communication module enabling each of the first and second electronic devices to detect the portable access management device within a respective vicinity of each of the devices. Respectively determining each of the first and second devices is within the vicinity of the access management device is based on presence information provided by the respective device, the presence information being generated by each device responsive to wirelessly communicating with the access management device. The functional feature of the first device is enabled while within the vicinity of the access management device, and the functional feature of the second device is disabled while not within the vicinity. Other embodiments are disclosed.
