Abstract

Embodiments herein provide a method for automatically triggering a data share event between a sender device and a receiver device. The method includes generating a unique code including at least one data item to be shared with the receiver device, wherein the unique code is encoded with at least one parameter associated with the sender device. Further, the method includes sharing the unique code with the receiver device to automatically trigger the data share event.

Claims

1. A method for operating a first device, the method comprising:

detecting at least one input for at least one data item among a plurality of data items, wherein the plurality of data items are stored in the first device;

generating a first unique code for the at least one data item in response to detecting the at least one input;

displaying the first unique code for scanning of a second device;

scanning a second unique code displayed on the second device, wherein the second unique code includes information identifying at least part of the at least one data item selected by the second device; and

transmitting the at least part of the at least one data item to the second device based on the second unique code.

2. The method of claim 1,

wherein the first unique code is encoded with at least one parameter associated with the first device, and

wherein the at least one parameter comprises at least one of a unique security key, an address of the first device, or capability information of the first device.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the first unique code comprises one of a bar code, and a quick response (QR) code.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating of the first unique code comprises:

selecting at least one type of the plurality of data items to be shared with the second device, based on the at least one input; and

generating the first unique code for the at least one data item corresponding to the at least one type be shared with the second device.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the scanning the second unique code comprises:

triggering a data share event to transmit data corresponding to the at least part of the at least one data item encoded in the second unique code, to the second device.

6. The method of claim 5,

wherein the second unique code is encoded with at least one parameter associated with the second device, and

wherein the at least one parameter comprises at least one of a unique security key, an address of the second device, or capability information of the second device.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the triggering of the data share event to transmit the data corresponding to the at least part of the at least one data item encoded in the second unique code comprises

identifying the at least part of the at least one data item encoded in the second unique code.

8. A first device for sharing data with a second device, the first device comprising:

a transceiver;

a display; and

at least one processor operatively coupled with the transceiver and the display,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to control to;

detect at least one input for at least one data item among a plurality of data items, wherein the plurality of data items are stored in the first device,

generate a first unique code for the at least one data item in response to detecting the at least one input,

display the first unique code for scanning of a second device,

scan a second unique code displayed on the second device, wherein the second unique code includes information identifying at least part of the at least one data item selected by the second device, and

transmit the at least part of the at least one data item to the second device based on the second unique code.

9. The first device of claim 8,

wherein the first unique code is encoded with at least one parameter associated with the first device, and

wherein the at least one parameter comprises at least one of a unique security key, an address of the first device, or capability information of the first device.

10. The first device of claim 8, wherein the first unique code comprises one of a bar code, and a quick response (QR) code.

11. The first device of claim 8, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control to:

select at least one type of the plurality of data items to be shared with the second device, based on the at least one input, and

generate the first unique code for the at least one data item corresponding to the at least one type to be shared with the second device.

12. The first device of claim 8, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control to:

trigger a data share event to transmit data corresponding to the at least part of the at least one data item encoded in the second unique code, to the second device.

13. The first device of claim 12,

wherein the second unique code is encoded with at least one parameter associated with the second device, and

wherein the at least one parameter comprises at least one of a unique security key, an address of the second device, or capability information of the second device.

14. The first device of claim 12, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control to:

identify the at least part of the at least one data item encoded in the second unique code.

15. A second device for triggering a data share event with a first device, the second device comprising:

a transceiver;

a display; and

at least one processor operatively coupled with the transceiver and the display,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to control to;

scan a first unique code from the first device,

identify at least one data item for the first unique code,

request at least a part of the at least one data item to the first device based on a second unique code that is generated by identifying the first unique code, and

receive the at least a part of the at least one data item from the first device, in response to the request,

wherein the first unique code is generated based on at least one input, detected in the first device, for the at least one data item among a plurality of data items,

wherein the plurality of data items is stored in the first device, and

wherein the second unique code indicates the at least part of the at least one data item selected by the second device.

16. The second device of claim 15, wherein the identifying of the at least one data item for the first unique code comprises identifying the at least one data item by decoding the first unique code based on a unique security key associated with the first device.

17. The second device of claim 15, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to control to:

display the at least one data item,

generate the second unique code comprising at least one data item selected from the displayed at least one data item, and
