Claim 0:
1. An electronic device, comprising:
wireless communications circuitry including an ultra-wideband transceiver that exchanges ultra-wideband radio frequency signals with an external electronic device having a speaker;
control circuitry that:
determines when a distance between the electronic device and the external electronic device is within a threshold distance based on the ultra-wideband radio frequency signals;
determines whether the electronic device is pointed towards the external electronic device based on an angle of arrival of the ultra-wideband radio frequency signals; and
requests and receives information from the external electronic device in response to determining that the distance is less than the threshold distance and that the electronic device is pointed towards the external electronic device; and

a display that automatically displays the information and control icons for the speaker in response to determining that the distance is less than the threshold distance and that the electronic device is pointed towards the external electronic device.
