Claim 0:
1. A wireless calling method, comprising:
detecting, by a device, an advertising signal from a nearby device over a first short-range wireless network;
in response to detecting the advertising signal via the first short-range wireless network, establishing, by the device, a session with the nearby device over a second short-range wireless network different from the first short-range wireless network;
determining, with the device, a position of the nearby device based on signals corresponding to the second short-range wireless network from the nearby device as received by the device during the session;
capturing, with a camera of the device, an image of an area near the device;
responsive to identifying an image of a call candidate appearing within the image of the area, determining, from the image of the area, a position of the call candidate relative to the device by converting pixel coordinates of the image of the call candidate to physical coordinates of the call candidate;
associating the nearby device with the call candidate by correlating the position of the call candidate with the position of the nearby device based on a proximity of the position of the call candidate to the position of the nearby device;
retrieving information associated with the call candidate based on the correlating; and
generating, based on the information, a visual identifier token corresponding to the call candidate, wherein the visual identifier token is presented on a display of the device to enable a user to initiate a call between the device and the nearby device.
