The present invention relates to systems and methods that facilitate
wireless device communications and configuration. A detection component
identifies N devices that are coupled together via a biological medium, N
being an integer, wherein the medium includes direct or indirect touching
to a device or devices. After biological contact, a configuration
component initiates a configuration between a subset of the devices.
Although configurations and/or other communications can be conducted
through a medium such as the human body, the present invention can employ
an initial touch to identify respective devices whereby other electronic
configuration sequences commence without further device contact. Other
aspects include chain touching between users and/or devices to facilitate
contact between the devices. Location detection components can also be
provided to identify when users are present near a device, the detected
presence to commence further automated procedures, and/or the location
detection components can enable devices to identify other devices in a
crowded wireless environment.
