Locating wireless devices

An electronic device comprising:

• a communications radio;
• one or more inertial sensors;
• a display;
• a wireless communications interface;
• one or more processors;
• and
• memory operable to store instructions, which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
• determine an orientation of an electronic device based on sensor data provided by the one or more inertial sensors of the electronic device;
• receive, using the wireless communications interface, a signal from an accessory device and determine at least one signal strength value from the received signal;
• estimate a proximity value to the accessory device based on the at least one signal strength value corresponding to the orientation;
• associate the orientation of the electronic device with the proximity value;
• and
• display, via the display, a graphical interface to indicate the proximity value to the accessory device for the corresponding orientation of the electronic device.

A method performed by an electronic device, comprising:

• determining an orientation of an electronic device based on sensor data provided by one or more inertial sensors of the electronic device;
• receiving, using a wireless communications interface, a signal from an accessory device and determine at least one signal strength value from the received signal;
• estimating a proximity value to the accessory device based on the at least one signal strength value corresponding to the orientation;
• associating the orientation of the electronic device with the proximity value;
• and
• displaying, via a display, a graphical interface to indicate the proximity value to the accessory device for the corresponding orientation of the electronic device.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, causes the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• determine an orientation of an electronic device based on sensor data provided by one or more inertial sensors of the electronic device;
• receive, using a wireless communications interface, a signal from an accessory device and determine at least one signal strength value from the received signal;
• estimate a proximity value to the accessory device based on the at least one signal strength value corresponding to the orientation;
• associate the orientation of the electronic device with the proximity value;
• and
• display, via a display, a graphical interface to indicate the proximity value to the accessory device for the corresponding orientation of the electronic device.
