    a first content, and a second content; and

    target device characteristics, including a characteristic of a first target device and a characteristic of a second target device;

    the proximity detection circuit to detect proximity of the first target device and provide to the processor a first target device indication indicating the proximity of the target device, and to cease providing the first target device indication when the proximity of the target device is not detected;

    the proximity detection circuit to detect proximity of the second target device and provide to the processor a second target device indication indicating the proximity of the target device, and to cease providing the second target device indication when the proximity of the second target device is not detected;

    the processor receiving a user'"'"'s desire to receive and display at least one of the first content and the second content;

    the processor receiving the first content, including the characteristic of the first target device, and displaying the first content to the output unit upon receiving the first target device indication, and then to cease to display the first content in the absence of the first target indication; and

    the processor receiving the second content, including the characteristic of the second target device, and displaying the second content to the output unit upon receiving the second target device indication, and then to cease to display the second content in the absence of the second target indication.
