Abstract:
1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, the instructions executable by one or more processors to perform a method for sharing source data, the method comprising: identifying, at the first device, the source data for sharing; communicating based on a first communication protocol between a first device and a remote device through a proxy server, wherein the communication is associated with identification information of the identified source data; receiving, by the first device, a first token associated with the source data; encoding, by the first device, the first token to create a visual tag using a visual encoding technique, wherein the visual tag comprises a quick response (QR) coded version of the first token; and displaying the visual tag on the first device, to enable a second device to optically capture the visual tag utilizing a camera and to allow the second device to access the source data utilizing the first token from the visual tag and utilizing a second communication protocol, wherein the second device is unable to access the source data without using the first token, wherein the first communication protocol is the same or different from the second communication protocol, wherein the first device is a communication end point device.
