Abstract
A mobile device may desire to connect wirelessly to a proximate peripheral device, such as a printer, projector, or other device. The mobile device may choose from proximate peripheral devices based on a number of factors including proximity, type, or configuration. Proximity may be determined based on received signal strength, access point profile, or other technique. Certain non-proximate devices may be desired based on certain conditions, including indoor location of a mobile device, compatibility of the mobile device, etc.
