INTUITIVE INTER-DEVICE CONNECTIVITY FOR DATA SHARING AND COLLABORATIVE RESOURCE USAGE

Embodiments of the invention provide client devices, servers, systems, and methods for establishing, managing, and utilizing inter-device connectivity environments that enable inter-device data and resource sharing through intuitive user commands. The invention does not require client devices having specialized hardware necessary for forming direct client connections, such as NFC readers or RFID antennas. Embodiments of the invention utilize an environment wherein multiple client devices communicate with a server to enable the transfer of files from one client device to another. The server manages the transfer of data between clients and the sharing of client resources between clients. Specifically, the server determines whether inter-device sharing events detected and reported by client devices are valid inter-device sharing events. If such events are valid, the server further facilitates the data and resource sharing process.
