1. A method for wireless communication by a headset, comprising:
- determining, by the headset, a set of two or more discovered wireless devices that share a feature or characteristic in their ability to interact with the headset;
determining, by the headset, a spatial location for the set of discovered wireless devices;
determining, by the headset, a subset of the two or more discovered wireless devices having auditory functions relevant to the headset;
outputting, by the headset, an indication of corresponding spatial locations of the subset via at least haptics;
receiving, by the headset, a user input;
based on a relationship between the user input and the outputted indication, selecting, by the headset, one of the devices in the subset; and
interacting, by the headset, with the selected device.

Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide an apparatus for wireless communication, at least one processor configured to determine a spatial location for a discovered wireless device, a user interface configured to output an indication of the discovered device and its spatial location, a receiver configured to receive a user input, and a communication unit configured to interact with the selected device. The at least one processor is further configured to select the discovered wireless device for interaction based on a relationship between the user input and the outputted indication.

11. A headset for wireless communication, comprising:
-
a processor configured to; determine a set of two or more discovered wireless devices that share a feature or characteristic in their ability to interact with the headset; determine a spatial location for the set of discovered wireless devices; and determine a subset of the two or more discovered wireless devices having auditory functions relevant to the headset; at least one speaker configured to output an indication of corresponding spatial locations of the subset via at least haptics; a receiver configured to receive a user input; and a communication unit configured to interact with the discovered device, wherein the processor is further configured to select one of the devices in the subset for interaction based on a relationship between the user input and the outputted indication. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
