1. A method implemented in a display device, the method comprising:
obtaining a first image of a physical mobile device via a camera coupled to the display device in a network;
recognizing the physical mobile device based on the first image of the physical mobile device,
wherein a detection of a wireless proximity with the physical mobile device activates the camera to obtain the first image and initiates a process to recognize the physical mobile device based on the first image;
displaying a second image comprising a representation of the physical mobile device at a first position in the second image, such that the first position of the representation of the physical mobile device in the displayed second image is linked to a position of the physical mobile device in a capture field of the camera,
wherein the representation of the physical mobile device moves in the displayed second image according to a displacement of the physical mobile device; and
responsive to detecting movement of the representation of the physical mobile device from the first position to an area of the displayed second image designated for activation,
activating the physical mobile device in the network.
