Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: establishing, at a first computing device including one or more processors, a near field communication (NFC) link with a second computing device; identifying, at the first computing device, an application having a foreground designation in an operating system of the first computing device, the identifying being performed upon establishment of the NFC link with the second computing device; querying, at the first computing device, the application for data to share with the second computing device; determining, at the first computing device, an identifier for the application when the application does not support data sharing, wherein the identifier uniquely identifies the application at a source external to the first computing device; and transmitting, from the first computing device, the identifier for the application via the NFC link to the second computing device.
