Abstract

A method of improving wireless communication of an apparatus includes detecting a wireless signal from a wireless communication device at a first signal strength level, detecting the wireless signal increasing from the first strength level to exceed a threshold level associated with the wireless communication device, requesting, by the apparatus, an input from a user of the apparatus when the signal strength exceeds a threshold level associated with the wireless communication device, wherein the input indicates whether the apparatus should cause an action to occur at the wireless communication device, adjusting, at the apparatus, the threshold level associated with the wireless communication device after receiving the input, and automatically transmitting a signal from the apparatus to the wireless communication device to cause the wireless communication device to perform the action when the apparatus detects the wireless signal from the wireless communication device has exceeded the adjusted threshold level.
