1. A method comprising:
- determining a target direction on the basis of a user input;
identifying a communication device residing substantially at the target direction;
receiving, before or after the identification of the communication device, access information associated with the communication device without establishing a connection to the communication device and without any information of an earlier connection to the communication device; and
connecting the communication device and/or a service on the basis of the access information associated with the identified communication device.

Abstract
In a non-limiting and exemplary embodiment, a method is provided for arranging access to locally connectable devices. A target direction is estimated on the basis of a user input. A communication device residing substantially at the target direction is defined. Before or after the identification of the communication device, access information associated with the communications device is received without establishing a connection to the communication device and without any information of earlier connection to the communication device. The device at target direction communication device and/or a service is connected on the basis of the access information associated with the identified communication device.
