ESTABLISHING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ELECTRONIC DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for establishing communication bets electronic devices, comprising:
- receiving a first request from a first electronic device by a server, wherein the first request is initiated by tapping and holding a button within an application in the first electronic device for at least a predefined time;
receiving a request from at least one other electronic device by the server, wherein the request from the at least one other electronic device is initiated by tapping and holding a button within an application in the at least one other electronic device for at least the predefined time; and
establishing communication between the first electronic device and the at least one other electronic device, by the server, when a distance between the first electronic device and the at least one other electronic device is less than a predefined distance and the request from the at least one other electronic device is received within a time interval from time of the first request.

Abstract
A system and method for establishing communication between electronic devices via a network are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first request from a first electronic device is received. Further, a request from at least one other electronic device is received. The first request and the request from the at least one other electronic device are initiated by tapping and holding a button within an application for at least a predefined time in the first electronic device and the at least one other electronic device, respectively. Furthermore, communication is established between the first electronic device and at least one other electronic device when a distance between the first electronic device and the at least one other electronic device is less than a predefined distance and the request from the at least one other electronic device is received within a time interval from time of the first request.
