Abstract
Some embodiments of the invention provide techniques which enable a mobile computing device to seamlessly configure an auxiliary device without a user having to provide input to an application or other component(s) executing on the mobile computing device to select the auxiliary device for configuration. The mobile computing device may determine, in the absence of such input, whether the auxiliary device is in sufficiently close physical proximity to the mobile computing device for the mobile computing device to configure the auxiliary device. If so, configuration of the auxiliary device may proceed automatically, or may be performed semi-automatically or manually by the user of the mobile computing device.
