## Abstract

A system for content sharing and methods for making and using the same. The content sharing system enables a smooth and easy exchange of electronic data.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A computer-based method for facilitating the contactless exchange of digital information through an audio-video conferencing platform, the method comprising:
generating 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;
providing a verified link to the virtual meeting room to one or more meeting participants, each meeting participant being associated with a unique user ID;
displaying a contact list in the virtual meeting room based on the unique user IDs of each meeting participant;
receiving instructions to exchange contact information between two meeting participants; and
exchanging at least a profile identification (ID) and the user ID of a first meeting participant with a second meeting participant, thereby prompting a selected exchange device of the second meeting participant to display a user interface for accepting two-way communication for exchanging digital contact information between a user device of the first meeting participant and the selected exchange device of the second meeting participant.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The computer-based method of claim 1, further comprising:
receiving user input at the selected exchange device accepting the two-way communication; and
maintaining, in a database of a central server in operable communication with the user device and the one or more exchange devices, logical connections between user profiles of the user device and the selected exchange device upon the received user input.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The computer-based method of claim 1, wherein said audio-video conferencing platform comprises Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Hangout, or WebEx.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The computer-based method of claim 1, further comprising automatically pushing updates from a central server to both the selected exchange device and the user device upon establishing two-way communication for exchanging digital contact information.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The computer-based method of claim 4, wherein said automatically pushing updates from a central server comprises transmitting a script file to both the selected exchange device and the user device.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The computer-based method of claim 1, further comprising automatically establishing a real-time socket connection between the selected exchange device and the user device upon establishing two-way communication for generating a chat session.

### Claim 7

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.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein said audio-video conferencing platform comprises Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Hangout, or WebEx.

### Claim 9 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the user device and the selected exchange device automatically broadcast updates upon establishing two-way communication for exchanging digital contact information.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The system of claim 9, wherein the automatically broadcast updates are received from the central server and comprises transmitting a script file from the central server to both the selected exchange device and the user device.

### Claim 11 (depends on 7)

The system of claim 7, wherein the user device automatically establishes a real-time socket connection with the selected exchange device upon establishing two-way communication for generating a chat session.

### Claim 12

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.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The computing device of claim 12, wherein said audio-video conferencing platform comprises Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Hangout, or WebEx.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The computing device of claim 12, wherein the central processing unit receives a script file from a central server to automatically pull updates from the central server regarding profile changes of the selected exchange device.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The computing device of claim 12, wherein the central processing unit automatically establishes a real-time socket connection with the selected exchange device upon establishing two-way communication for generating a chat session.
