ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for connecting two wireless devices to share information is disclosed. To connect the wireless devices the users communicate to each other a desire to connect their devices. Following this communication the users electronically identify each device, initiate and propose the connection. Once the connection has been made the users are able to share information across the devices. Alternative embodiments provide the user with expedited methods to identify the wireless device, identify the information to share, or provide additional security in forming the connection.
