1. A communication management system comprising:
- one or more articles of manufacture includingtransistor-based circuitry having an event-sequencing structure configured for obtaining at a first device an identifier of a second device; and
transistor-based circuitry having an event-sequencing structure configured for causing the first device to display a Boolean indication whether or not the second device is within a wireless local area network (WLAN) communication range of a third device without a bidirectional interpersonal communication existing between the first device and the second device.
