ABSTRACT:
System(s) and method(s) to automatically locate and/or connect to external devices is provided. A mobile computing device contains a mobility device assistant that is able to communicate with external devices, such as peripheral equipment and other devices. The mobility device assistant automatically searches via a wireless media to locate and communicate with the external device. The external device responds with relevant information about the external device. The external device can also communicate with the mobility device assistant via a proxy communication device or manager. The proxy manager maintains a database of information about those external devices that are unable to communicate. The mobility device assistant is configurable to locate and/or filter for specific external devices. The mobility device assistant can request external device information based upon an inferred state of the user or mobile computing device.
