Two electronic devices automatically perform a synchronization session when
one of the electronic devices is brought in proximity to the other
electronic device. The synchronization session is initiated without user
intervention based simply on the fact that the two devices have recently
been brought within a predetermined distance of each other. The two
electronic devices communicate in a wireless manner. The two devices may
determine that they are within a predetermined distance of each other
using global positioning technology, via which one of the devices
determines its own position and compares it to a known position of the
other electronic device. Alternatively, one of the electronic devices may
output a low level signal that can be received by the other electronic
device when within a certain range. Once the low level signal is received,
the recipient of the low level signal outputs a stronger signal to ensure
that it is received by the other electronic device requesting a
synchronization session, which once established enables synchronization of
information between the two devices.
