ABSTRACT:
Methods and techniques for selective service access are described. A short range, wireless device establishes lists of available devices within its transmitting proximity that are able to provide a desired service. The lists can be ranked based upon a service profile, e.g., established by the device user. The lists can also be periodically updated to accommodate device mobility.
