The touchless handshake is able to be performed by sending a signal from one device to another (or to multiple devices) which triggers the device to vibrate to simulate a handshake. Additionally, mobile devices are able to be used to send and/or display a wave/spin. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method programmed in a non-transitory memory of a device comprising: detecting one or more nearby devices; generating a network; and establishing a network connection with the one or more devices by detecting an indication of a desire to join the network on the one or more devices, wherein establishing the network connection with the one or more devices is based on proximity and one or more shared interests, wherein a spin mechanism provides a visual signal observable by users of the one or more devices, for establishing the network connection by prompting a user to open a device and join the network, wherein the network is formed by inclusion of a plurality of devices in response to a coordinated activation of the spin mechanism by the plurality of devices. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein establishing the network connection with the one or more devices is by detecting a wireless signal. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein establishing the network connection with the one or more devices is by detecting a wave action, wherein the wave action of the device includes a movement of the one or more devices including displaying a graphic on the one or more devices. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the network is generated manually. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the network is generated automatically using artificial intelligence based on user preferences, behaviors or location. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising enabling targeted advertising and personalized content delivery within the network. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein generating the network comprises drawing a boundary on a map, wherein only devices within the boundary are able to connect to the network, wherein the boundary automatically becomes a circular boundary based on the drawn boundary. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising utilizing satellite communication to establish the network connection. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising implementing privacy settings, wherein the privacy settings take into account a number of people on the network. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising implementing artificial intelligence to perform user matching, including adding a matched user to the network. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10 wherein the user matching is based on interests, compatible personalities, contextual personas and identities within an application. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10 wherein the user matching is based on user mindset. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10 wherein the user matching combines personality matching and contextual matching. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising managing one or more user personas enabling a user to switch between the one or more user profiles personas. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising implementing artificial intelligence to provide recommendations to a user. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising employing machine learning to parse a group of people into smaller groups of people based on factors including: demographics, preferences, location data, or spin actions. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising generating a pop up store based on a current location of the device. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising implementing artificial intelligence for detection and moderation of hate speech, dangerous drugs, human trafficking and bullying. ### Claim 19 A device comprising: a non-transitory memory for storing an application, the application for: detecting one or more nearby devices; generating a network; and establishing a network connection with the one or more devices by detecting an indication of a desire to join the network on the one or more devices, wherein establishing the network connection with the one or more devices is based on proximity and one or more shared interests, wherein a spin mechanism provides a visual signal observable by users of the one or more devices, for establishing the network connection by prompting a user to open a device and join the network, wherein the network is formed by inclusion of a plurality of devices in response to a coordinated activation of the spin mechanism by the plurality of devices; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor configured for processing the application. ### Claim 20 A system comprising: a first device configured for: generating a network including establishing a boundary on a map; a server device configured for hosting the network; and a second device configured for: establishing a network connection with the first device by detecting an indication of a desire to join the network on the second device, wherein establishing the network connection with the first device is based on proximity and one or more shared interests, wherein a spin mechanism provides a visual signal observable by users of the one or more devices, for establishing the network connection by prompting a user to open a device and join the network, wherein the network is formed by inclusion of a plurality of devices in response to a coordinated activation of the spin mechanism by the plurality of devices.
