A method for storing information in a database pertaining to which wireless devices an application initiates and accepts communications from. The information from the database is utilized whenever an application attempts to establish a connection with an unconnected device. The method includes analyzing an application's purpose in requesting to open a wireless communication port. If the purpose is to initiate communications with a peripheral device, the method queries the database and then initiates a communication link with the appropriate device. If the purpose is to accept communications from a peripheral device, the method detects incoming wireless device signals and identifies their source. If the source is listed in the database as an accepted device for the application, a communication link will be established. If the device is not listed, the method will revert back to detecting incoming wireless device signals.
