First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- making a determination that a wireless device is in proximity to at least one secondary wireless device;
determining an aggregate user interface on the wireless device based on the determination,wherein making a determination that a wireless device is in proximity to at least one secondary wireless device comprises identifying a location of the at least one secondary wireless device;
wherein determining an aggregate user interface on the wireless device based on the determination comprises updating the aggregate user interface by sorting a list of secondary wireless devices containing the at least one secondary wireless device by location; and
presenting the aggregate user interface identifying the at least one secondary wireless device;
receiving a first input selecting the identified secondary wireless device; and
responsive to the first input, presenting, on the wireless device, a second user interface including one or more selectable menu options each associated with an operation performable by the identified secondary wireless device.

3. A system comprising:
-
a computing device comprising at least one memory device coupled to at least one processing device; and instructions stored on the at least one memory device that when executed by the at least one processing device cause the computing device to (a) make a determination that a wireless device is in proximity to at least one secondary wireless device, and (b) determine an aggregate user interface on the wireless device based on the determination, and (c) present the aggregate user interface identifying the at least one secondary wireless device, wherein making a determination that a wireless device is in proximity to at least one secondary wireless device comprises identifying a location of the at least one secondary wireless device, wherein determining an aggregate user interface on the wireless device based on the determination comprises updating the aggregate user interface by sorting a list of secondary wireless devices containing the at least one secondary wireless device by location; wherein the aggregate user interface is configured to; receive a first input selecting the identified secondary wireless device; and responsive to the first input, present, on the wireless device, a second user interface including one or more selectable menu options each associated with an operation performable by the identified secondary wireless device. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9)

4. A device comprising:
-
(a) a wireless device configured to determine when it is in proximity to at least one secondary wireless device, and (b) an aggregate user interface configured to be determined based on the determination and present the aggregate user interface identifying the at least one secondary wireless device on the wireless device, wherein the wireless device is further configured to determine a location of the at least one secondary wireless device; wherein the aggregate user interface configured to be determined on the wireless device is further configured to be updated by sorting a list of secondary wireless devices containing the at least one secondary wireless device by location and to; receive a first input selecting the identified secondary wireless device; and responsive to the first input, present, on the wireless device, a second user interface including one or more selectable menu options each associated with an operation performable by the identified secondary wireless device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 17, 18)
