Examples associated with presence identification are described. One example includes detecting a presence identifier broadcast by a mobile device. The mobile device belongs to a user. A portion of the presence identifier is generated based on a one-time password seed. The portion of the presence identifier is provided to an identification server. Identifying information associated with the user is received from the identification server. The identification server uses the portion to identify the user based on the one-time password seed. An action is performed based on the identifying information.

Presence identification

Examples associated with operating system retrieval are described. One example includes presenting a reference to an operating system image file. The image may be presented by a personal computer basic input/output system (BIOS). The personal computer may connect to a mobile device that has retrieved the operating system image file from a remote location based on the reference. The operating system image file is received from the mobile device, and initiated by the personal computer.

Operating system retrieval

In example implementations, a method for starting a companion application on a mobile endpoint device and an apparatus for performing the same is provided. The method is performed by a processor of the mobile endpoint device. The method includes detecting that a distance between the mobile endpoint device and a main computer is less than a target distance. The distance is based on a signal strength of a wireless communication signal between the mobile endpoint device and the main computer. An application that is being executed on the main computer is detected. A companion application is started on the mobile endpoint device that is associated with the application.

Applications start based on target distances

Example implementations relate to meeting passcodes. In an example, meeting passcodes can employ a meeting hub including an antenna and a controller coupled to the antenna to wirelessly receive, via the antenna, information including a first meeting passcode from a meeting device, generate a second meeting passcode in response to receipt of the first meeting passcode, cause the second meeting passcode to be sent to a registered user of meeting device, and admit the meeting device to a meeting using the second meeting passcode.

Meeting passcodes

Example implementations relate to signal strength based printings. In an example, signal strength based printings can employ a personal computing device including a network adapter coupled to a computer network, an antenna to receive a wireless signal from a mobile electronic device, a processor to compare a signal strength indication (RSSI) value of the received wireless signal to a RSSI threshold value, and send, via the network adapter, a printable file to a printer based on the comparison of the RSSI value to the RSSI threshold value.

Signal strength based printings

In one example of the disclosure, an encrypted document and an encryption key for decrypting the encrypted document are received from a computer. Presence data for a printer is received via a first wireless network. A user instruction to print the encrypted document at the printer is received. A credential is received from the printer via the first wireless network, where the credential for communication with the printer via a second wireless network with greater bandwidth than the first wireless network. The encrypted document and the encryption key are sent to the printer, where the printer is to utilize the encryption key to decrypt the encrypted document and is to print the document following decryption.
