1. A system comprising:
a memory of a device;
a processor coupled to the memory configured to:
receive, from one or more of a plurality of discovered devices that are on a computer network, a short range wireless signal over a wireless network, wherein the plurality of discovered devices represent an updated list of discoverable devices on the computer network, wherein the updated list of discoverable device is determined based on a response received from each discoverable device in the updated list, wherein the receiving the short range wireless signal over the wireless network includes:
receiving the short range wireless signal not over the computer network on which the one or more of a plurality of devices were discovered by the device, but instead over the wireless network, and separate from a discoverable device protocol used over the computer network;
determine which of the plurality of discovered devices are in proximity of the device, wherein the proximity is defined by a range of the short range wireless signal;
enable a session to be shared between the device and a selected one of the one or more of the plurality of discovered devices over the computer network by the processor at least being configured to enable a session with the selected one of the one or more of the plurality of discovered devices over the computer network that is determined to be in proximity to the device, wherein the enabling the session to be shared occurs automatically once the selected one of the list of discovered device is selected.
