SIMULATOR FOR NEARBY INTERACTIONS OF DEVICES

Abstract:

A method includes receiving a first instance of code to be simulated for a first mobile device and a second instance of code to be simulated for a second mobile device, and generating, on a graphical user interface, a first representation of the first mobile device and a second representation of the second mobile device. When a request for a ranging measurement between the mobile device representations is received, a first pixel representative of a first location of the first representation and a second pixel representative of a second location of the second representation is determined, and a separation value between the first and second pixels is determined. A ranging value is determined based on the separation value and provided to the first instance of code in response to the request, thereby enabling the first instance of code to simulate a physical ranging measurement between two physical devices.
