1. A method comprising:
- determining that a first wireless device is in proximity to at least one second wireless device;
responsive to the determining that the first wireless device is in proximity to the at least one second wireless device, presenting, on the first wireless device, at least one user interface including at least one user interface element identifying the at least one second wireless device and selectable to control one or more operations performable by the at least one second wireless device;
receiving a first user input selecting the at least one user interface element identifying the second wireless device;
responsive to the first user input, presenting, on the first wireless device, a second user interface including one or more selectable menu options each associated with an operation performable by the at least one second wireless device;
receiving a second user input selecting at least one of the one or more selectable menu options associated with an operation performable by the at least one second wireless device; and
controlling the at least one second wireless device to perform the at least one operation responsive to the second user input.
