Apparatus for facilitating peripheral device selection

A method, the method comprising:

• determining a first measure of the geographical location of the particular peripheral device using geographical location signalling;
• associating the determined first measure of the geographical location of the particular peripheral device with a communication channel signalling used by the particular peripheral device;
• discriminating the communication channel signalling for the particular peripheral device based on the association;
• and
• enabling selection of the geographical location of the particular peripheral device to use the communication channel signalling to provide for connection of an electronic device to the particular peripheral device to allow the portable electronic device to use the functionality provided by the particular peripheral device.

A computer program, the computer program comprising code configured to:

• determine a first measure of the geographical location of a particular peripheral device using geographical location signalling;
• associate the determined first measure of the geographical location of the particular peripheral device with a communication channel signalling used by the particular peripheral device;
• discriminate the communication channel signalling for the particular peripheral device based on the association;
• and
• enable selection of the geographical location of the particular peripheral device to use the communication channel signalling to provide for connection of an electronic device to the particular peripheral device to allow the electronic device to use the functionality provided by the particular peripheral device.
