PROXIMITY DETECTION BY MOBILE DEVICES

摘要

A processor of a mobile device initiates a listening session including listening for a message from a remote service and receiving the message from the remote service. The message indicates that a first device is within a predetermined range of the mobile device. In response to receiving the message from the remote service, a network session is automatically initiated. The network session includes obtaining a signature via the network, the signature being uniquely associated with the first device. In response to obtaining the signature via the network, the mobile device initiates an access session with the first device, including utilizing the signature to present a user interface on the mobile device that includes access to the first device. The access session is automatically terminated in response to detecting a change in the listening session.
