Method and system for proximity-based contact transfer

A system for sharing electronic content through an audio-video conferencing platform, the system comprising:

• a user device;
• one or more exchange devices configured for network-based communication with the user device;
• and
• a central server in operable communication with the user device and the one or more exchange devices for maintaining in a database, logical connections between user profiles,
• wherein the central server generates a virtual meeting room via the audio-video conferencing platform, the virtual meeting room being associated with a unique meeting identification (ID) and a session ID, provides a verified link to the virtual meeting room to one or more meeting participants via the user device and the one or more exchange devices, each meeting participant being associated with a unique user ID, displays a contact list in the virtual meeting room based on the unique user IDs of each meeting participant, receives instructions to exchange contact information between two users, the instructions causing the user device to exchange at least a profile identification (ID) and a selected user ID with a selected exchange device defined by the instructions, thereby prompting the selected exchange devices to display a user interface for accepting two-way communication for exchanging digital contact information between the user device and the selected exchange devices.

A computing device for facilitating the contactless exchange of digital information with one or more exchange devices through an audio-video conferencing platform, the computing device comprising:

• a display screen;
• a central processing unit for executing a mobile application, the mobile application providing a graphical user interface on the display screen;
• and
• an antenna configured for network-based communication with the one or more exchange devices,
• wherein the central processing unit generates a virtual meeting room via the audio-video conferencing platform, the virtual meeting room being associated with a unique meeting identification (ID) and a session ID, provides a verified link to the virtual meeting room to other meeting participants via the one or more exchange devices, each meeting participant being associated with a unique user ID, displays a contact list in the virtual meeting room based on the unique user IDs of each meeting participant, receives instructions to exchange contact information with the selected exchange device, and exchanges at least a profile identification (ID) and a selected user ID with a selected exchange devices defined by the instructions, thereby prompting the selected exchange device to display a second user interface for accepting two-way communication for exchanging digital contact information with the user device.
