1. A method for providing discovery of a wireless device on a network, the method being implemented by one or more processors and comprising:
- (a) monitoring an active process on the wireless device to obtain state information relating to the active process;
(b) identifying static information about the wireless device or the active process; and
(c) generating one or more discovery communications for the wireless device, the one or more discovery communications being communicated over a wireless communication medium to one or more other wireless devices, the one or more discovery communications including (i) a set of data items that are based on the static information, the set of data items including the identifier for the wireless device, and (ii) dynamic information that is based on the state information.

Abstract
An active process is monitored on the wireless device to obtain state information relating to the active process. Static information about the wireless device is determined. One or more discovery communications (e.g., advertisement) are generated for the wireless device using a wireless communication medium. The one or more discovery communications can include (i) a set of data items that are based on the static information, and (ii) dynamic information that is based on the state information of the active process.

28. A system comprising:
-
a wireless device including one or more processors, and a first communication interface to enable the wireless device to communicate over a wireless communication medium; a second device including one or more processors, and a second communication interface to connect the second device to enable the second device to communicate over the wireless communication medium; wherein the one or more processors of the wireless device are configured to; operate an active process; obtain state information relating to the active process; identify static information about the wireless device or the active process; and generate one or more discovery communications that are communicated over the wireless communication medium to one or more other wireless devices, the one or more discovery communications including (i) a set of data items that are based on the static information, the set of data items including an identifier for the wireless device, and (ii) dynamic information that is based on the state information; wherein the one or more processors of the wireless device are configured to; receive the one or more discovery communications from the wireless device; process the one or more discovery communications to determine information included with the one or more discovery communications, the information including an identifier of the wireless device and at least a portion of the dynamic information; and display, on the second device and without connecting to the wireless device, content that is based on the dynamic information. - View Dependent Claims (29)
