Methods, apparatuses, and systems are provided for determining proximity between computing apparatuses. A method may include extracting information indicating a transmit signal strength from each of a plurality of electromagnetic transmissions sent by a plurality of second computing apparatuses and received by a first computing apparatus. The method may further include determining received signal strengths of the electromagnetic transmissions. The method may additionally include determining proximities between the first computing apparatus and each of the second computing apparatuses based at least in part upon transmit signal strengths and the received signal strengths. The method may also include generating a list listing the second computing apparatuses and providing an indication of the determined proximities of the second computing apparatuses. Corresponding apparatuses and systems are also provided.
A method comprising:
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory storing computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and stored computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to at least:
A computer program product comprising at least one computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program instructions stored therein, the computer-readable program instructions comprising:
