Abstract
In one embodiment, a system includes a search logic for a mobile device. The search logic is configured to perform a discovery process that causes a radio frequency transceiver to discover electronic devices having a compatible radio frequency transceiver. The search logic is configured to execute asynchronously with one or more different processes. A display logic is configured to display a device identifier for each of the electronic devices that are discovered.
