Summary:The spread of short distance wireless communication technology is making it possible for various information appliances to communicate through a network. However, to connect and to use them, we must generally perform complicated setup operations such as setting addresses or names. In this paper, we propose a user-friendly connecting management framework called " Touch-and-Connect". With this method, we can connect any networked devices only by touching them. This system is designed so that it can work without a server and even if many individuals operate it independently, no incorrect connections occur. And we have exemplified the usefulness of this framework with subject experiments.
