The present invention provides a method for automated synchronization between a first and a second mobile terminal. A plurality of individual modes are provided to be operable with an operation mode of the first device. According to an embodiment of the invention, the individual modes corresponds to profile settings which are responsible for defining the operational state of for example a mobile phone at receiving a call or a message, i.e. to ring and to vibrate in case of receiving a call or to vibrate only. The user is allowed to extend the individual modes such that at asserting an extended individual mode a synchronization process to automatically activated. According to another embodiment of the invention, the synchronization process is performed directly between these two terminal devices in a device-to-device manner via a local communication connection.
