A mobile consults a memory store relating to the identities of other phones, in order to provide an indication, when certain rules are fulfilled, that one or more of the other communications devices is within a set range. The rule may be that the other mobiles have been identified a predetermined number of times, or that the other mobiles were identified at particular times (during work, weekends) or in particular locations (workplace, home). In this way, a user may build up a list of identities of other mobiles used by friends, colleagues and associates. The location of these people may be indicated when they are nearby. The subsets of identified persons may be automatically determined based upon interrelationships between the mobiles. |
