Assignee: APPLE INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. An electronic device, comprising:
wireless communications circuitry including an ultra-wideband transceiver that exchanges ultra-wideband radio frequency signals with an external electronic device;
control circuitry that:
determines an angle of arrival of the ultra-wideband radio frequency signals and determines a distance to the external electronic device based on 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 a first threshold and that the angle of arrival is less than a second threshold;

a display that automatically displays the information and control icons for the external electronic device in response to determining that the distance is less than a first threshold and that the angle of arrival is less than a second threshold; and
a haptic output device that provides haptic output, wherein the control circuitry adjusts the haptic output based on the distance to the external electronic device.
