EasyGroups allows binding devices into ad … EasyGroups allows binding devices into ad hoc groups. This is carried out by the owner of the group launching a special application and touching the phones of other members of the group with his phone. This results in adding the devices to a group and specifies their order. Once all devices have been added, the owner of the group sets his phone on the table and the group members engage in joint activities, such as passing around photographs. Picking up a group member’s device allows adding new members to a group or leaving an existing group. A new member can be added by the same touching mechanism and he will be positioned next in line to the person who added him. Closing a group is achieved by picking up the owner’s device and flipping it upside down.wner’s device and flipping it upside down. +
