Abstract
A peer device has a proximity sensor that detects proximity to another object. Responsive to that detection, the peer device obtains a set of results that comprises results of different types of measurements. The set of results is sensitive to a location of the peer device and a time at which the measurements are performed by the peer device. The peer device configures itself to be discoverable by other peer devices. Responsive to wirelessly connecting with a target peer device that is also discoverable, the peer device determines an extent to which the obtained set of results matches a corresponding set of results obtained by the target peer device. Responsive determining that the sets of results respectively obtained by the devices match to a required extent, the peer device automatically transmits or receives application-specific data over an unauthenticated, non-persistent communication session between the peer device and the target peer device.
