1. A method comprising:

  • identifying a first device of a plurality of devices operable to communicate with a wireless device;

    determining a relative position of the first device with respect to the wireless device;

    creating a log entry associated with the first device in a log including a plurality of log entries, wherein each log entry of the plurality of log entries is associated with a device and includes identification data and position data;

    querying the wireless device for a distance threshold subsequent to creating the log entry;

    prior to establishing a communication path between the wireless device and the first device, determining whether a distance associated with the relative position satisfies the distance threshold of the wireless device;

    in response to a determination that the distance satisfies the distance threshold, generating a list including a list entry associated with the first device; and

    establishing the communication path between the wireless device and the first device in response to a selection of the list entry.
