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 located behind a firewall, the method comprising: receiving at a first device, a non-public first token, associated with the source data located on a remote device via a first communication protocol between a first device and the remote device; encoding the first token generated based on detection of presence of the first device within five feet of a second device to enable communication using a near proximity communication (NPC) protocol; and communicating to the second device, the first token using the NPC protocol to enable the second device to access the source data utilizing a second communication protocol, wherein the second device is unable to access the source data without using the first token, wherein the NPC protocol is different from the first and second communication protocols, wherein the first communication protocol is the same or different from the second communication protocol, wherein the NPC protocol supports a data transfer rate that is not greater than a data transfer rate supported by the first communication protocol or a data transfer rate supported by the second communication protocol, wherein the NPC protocol is a wireless communication protocol that supports automatic connection between at least two devices located within five feet, wherein the first device is an NPC-enabled device adapted to detect presence of the second device within five feet of the first device, wherein the first device is a communication end point device.
