First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of ordering a list of discovered devices in a wireless personal area network (WPAN), comprising:
- receiving at a first device a plurality of wireless device signals from respective devices in the WPAN;
determining a received signal strength of each of the wireless device signals; and
displaying on a display of the first device a list of devices corresponding to the devices from which the wireless device signals were received, wherein the devices in the list are ordered according to the received signal strength of the wireless device signal of the respective device.

Abstract
The described embodiments relate generally to methods, systems and computing devices, including at least a mobile device, for ordering a discovered device list according to a Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) of each device in the discovered device list. Thus, the discovered device list has at the top of the list the device that has the highest RSSI, with the remaining devices in the discovered device list presented in descending order of RSSI.
