Abstract:
One or more discovery communications are received by a user device over a wireless communication medium. The one or more discovery communications can be communicated using a Layer 2 protocol. The one or more discovery communications can be processed to determine information included with the one or more discovery communications. The information can include an identifier of the wireless device and dynamic information about an active process of the wireless device. When the user device is not connected to the discovered wireless device, the user device displays a representation of the wireless device. The representation can include information determined from the one or more discovery communications, including the identifier of the wireless device and content that is based on the dynamic information.
Abstract:
An active process is monitored on the wireless device to obtain state information relating to the active process. Static information about the wireless device is determined. One or more discovery communications (e.g., advertisement) are generated for the wireless device using a wireless communication medium. The one or more discovery communications can include (i) a set of data items that are based on the static information, and (ii) dynamic information that is based on the state information of the active process.
