Resource Sharing Priority

A device, comprising:

• a transceiver configured to:
• perform a first scan, the first scan compliant with a first wireless protocol;
• and
• perform a second scan, the second scan compliant with a second wireless protocol;
• and
• control circuitry configured to:
• assign a first priority level to the first scan, the first priority level below an audio transfer priority level;
• assign a second priority level to a first portion of the second scan, the second priority level above the first priority level and below the audio transfer priority level;
• assign a third priority level to a second portion of the second scan, the third priority level below the first priority level, the second portion of the second scan configured to allow a selected amount of the second scan to be overridden by the first scan;
• and
• responsive to the priority levels, determine whether to allow access to the transceiver by the first wireless protocol or by the second wireless protocol.

A product, comprising:

• a computer-readable medium other than a transitory signal;
• and
• instructions stored on the medium, the instructions configured to, when executed:
• assign a first priority level to a first scan, the first priority level below an audio transfer priority level, the first scan compliant with a personal area network (PAN) protocol;
• assign a second priority level to a first portion of a second scan, the second priority level above the first priority level and below the audio transfer priority level, the second scan compliant with an ANT protocol;
• assign a third priority level to a second portion of the second scan, the third priority level below the first priority level, the second portion of the second scan configured to allow a selected amount of the second scan to be overridden by the first scan;
• and
• responsive to the priority levels, determine whether to allow access to a transceiver by the PAN protocol or by the ANT protocol.
