A mobile device having a plurality of connectors each for interconnecting with another device of a plurality of other devices, each of the plurality of connectors located in a defined relative physical location on the mobile device and each of the plurality of connectors configured to provide an indication of when a connection to one of the other devices is made or lost. The mobile device further includes a processor and a memory such that the memory stores instructions that cause the processor to: maintain a data store that indicates connectivity information for each of the other devices that are interconnected to the mobile device. The processor is further configured to determine a relative spatial location of each of the other interconnected devices relative to the mobile device based on the relative physical location of the plurality of connectors and the connectivity information; and update the data store to reflect when connection to one of the other devices by way of one of the plurality of connectors is made or lost.
