Abstract
A computing device is provided with a discovery framework that may include a discovery user interface (UI) and a discovery engine configured to use various standard discovery protocols in a protocol stack of the computing device. The discovery engine may respond to an invocation of the discovery framework by determining discovery criteria and based thereon selecting one of the discovery protocols, requesting discovery through the selected discovery protocol, receiving corresponding first discovery results, and maintaining a discovery list comprised of indicia of devices discovered through at least the selected discovery protocol. The discovery UI allows interactive adjustment of the discovery criteria, displays the discovery list, and responds to selection of a discovered device in the discovery list by enabling a connection with the discovered device based on a network address of the discovered device obtained through one of the discovery protocols.
