Arbitrating can include averaging ( 116 ) the parameters and settings, maintaining ( 126 ) an existing parameter and setting, matching ( 120 or 124 ) parameters and settings to parameters and settings of certain ones of the plurality of electronic devices, or adjusting ( 106 ) parameters and settings based on parameters and settings stored on a shared database.
