Abstract: The invention relates to methods, apparatuses, systems and computer program products for discovery of nearby devices. To facilitate discovery of nearby, i.e. proximal, devices, after receiving a trigger signal (110), that is, a signal related to a user action, proximity of other devices is determined and a proximity fingerprint is formed from this information (120), for example to be stored in a fingerprint database (130). When a change in proximity information of a device is detected, proximity fingerprints are accessed and the fingerprints are searched for in the current proximity information of the user device. In this manner, the user may be alerted or programs (or the system) may be controlled when a stored proximity fingerprint is detected in the current set of nearby devices.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods, apparatuses, systems and computer program products for discovery of nearby devices (510, 520, 525, 540, 545). To facilitate discovery of nearby, i.e. proximal, devices, a discovery control signal (570, 572, 574, 576, 578) from a control device (530) may be used to control the discovery, e.g. how or when the discovery is carried out. The devices may send status information of their status to be used by the control device or the control system for forming the discovery control signal. The control device, e.g. a server, may form the discovery control signal based on this status information. Discovery of proximal devices may then be carried out based on the received discovery control signal.
