A first device broadcasts an intent to share data with a second device, using a first communications protocol, The first device connects to a cloud server using a second communications protocol, and shares the data with the second device on the cloud server when the second device is connected to the cloud server.
Claims20
A method for data sharing, comprising:
- receiving, by a second device, an intent to share data that is broadcasted from a first device using a low-power communications protocol when the second device is within a broadcast range of the first communication protocol;
- connecting to a cloud server using a high-speed communications protocol in response to the intent to share data that is received;
- and
- receiving data from the cloud server, wherein the data is shared on the cloud server by the first device using the high-speed communications protocol.

A printing device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that are executable by the processor, the instructions comprising:
- instructions to receive an intent to share data that is broadcasted from a first device using a low-power communications protocol when the printing device is within a broadcast range of the first communication protocol;
- instructions to connect to a cloud server using a high-speed communications protocol in response to the intent to share data that is received;
- and
- instructions to receive data from the cloud server, wherein the data is shared on the cloud server by the first device using the high-speed communications protocol.
