System and method for simplified resource sharing
First Claim
14. An electronic device comprising:
- a processor configured to run a resource-sharing application;
a memory device operably coupled to the processor and configured to store a resource-sharing scheme associated with sharing at least one resource of a resource-sharing electronic device via the resource-sharing application;
an electronic display configured to display a representation of the resource-sharing scheme;
an input/output interface configured to receive resource-sharing information from the resource-sharing electronic device, wherein at least a portion of the resource-sharing information indicates how the resource-sharing scheme may be obtained from a web location or from the resource-sharing electronic device; and
a network interface configured to obtain the resource-sharing scheme from the web location or from the resource-sharing electronic device based on the resource-sharing information and to receive resource-sharing data from the resource-sharing electronic device to use a resource of the resource-sharing electronic device.

Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices for simplified resource-sharing with electronic devices are provided. For example, a method for using at least one resource of a variety of electronic devices from another electronic device may include receiving resource-sharing information associated with a resource-sharing electronic device via near field communication, determining a resource-sharing scheme for using the resources of the resource-sharing electronic device based on the resource-sharing information, and sharing at least one resource of the resource-sharing electronic device using the determined resource-sharing scheme. The resource-sharing information may be received from a near field communication interface of the resource-sharing electronic device or from a radio frequency identification tag associated with the resource-sharing electronic device.
