In general, aspects of this disclosure are directed to techniques for initiating communications from a computing device based on messages received from short-range wireless devices. The computing device may receive, via short-range wireless communication, a message from a short-range communication device, the message including contact information of a remote computing device that is external both to the computing device and to the short-range communication device, location information associated with the short-range communication device, and authentication information usable by the computing device to authenticate the short-range communication device. Responsive to receiving the message from the short-range communication device, the computing device may authenticate the short-range communication device based on the authentication information. Responsive to the authenticating, the computing device may automatically initiate communications with the remote computing device based on the contact information. Computing device may communicate the location information associated with the short-range communication device to the remote computing device. |
