Abstract
The present disclosure discloses automated discovery of and seamless connection to wireless receivers for mirroring, extending, and/or projecting images, audio, and/or video from a computing device to the wireless receivers. A smart discovery program discovers a specific wireless receiver that matches a location for a meeting and provides the user with an option to wirelessly connect to the matching receiver during the meeting. The smart discovery program may also use a current location of the computing device to provide a user with a list relevant wireless receivers. Relevant receivers may include those receivers that are both available and located near the computing device. When a computing device connects to a wireless receiver, it may store the receiver ID for the connected receiver in a local receiver log so that the computing device may use this information to connect to the same receiver at a later time.
