About this app
App for quickly exchanging contacts between people who are nearby. For example, when meeting a person at a conference, not to remember and dictate email, phone number and other contacts, not to carry paper business cards, you can quickly transfer your contacts through the app into a smartphone of this person. Exchange of contacts can be done in any convenient way: via the Internet, via NFC or via Bluetooth. After the contacts exchange, the application will automatically update the contacts at each of your meetings with this person, if the contacts change.
Quick Guide
===========
You have access to all the contact exchange features, if the AR Contact app in state "Online" and device is connected to the Internet.
Page "Around You" shows a list of people and companies nearby. You can view additional information by clicking on the list item and opening the profile of contact. In the profile, you can set up a friendship, save contact information, or add this information to your smartphone's address book.
Page "Your contacts" contains contacts of people and companies that you have saved or added as a friend. In the contact profile, you can make notes that will be visible to you only. To people and companies from this list, if you set up that they are friends, you will be able to provide additional information about yourself. Friendship in the system is an asynchronous concept, for example, if you add a colleague to your friends list and give him additional information about yourself, a colleague might not have time to add you to friends and give you only basic information about himself.
Page "Your profile" contains information about you. Here you can introduce yourself as this will be useful for you. Many of the data that you enter on this page can be made available to friends only - to do this, tap on the privacy status symbol on the right. Your profile information will be visible to people who are now near you, while the app in state "Online" and Bluetooth is on, even if the smartphone screen is off. For security, exchange of data is performed using encryption. Change the state in the app by tap the "Online"/"Offline" button in the top right of the main window.
If the device is not connected to the Internet, then in the AR Contact app in state "Online" you can exchange contacts via Bluetooth. Exchange of contacts via Bluetooth is the same as the exchange of contacts via the Internet (see the description above). To ensure security, when exchanging via Bluetooth, the following restrictions are set in the program settings: 1) your profile data, intended friends only, is not transmitted via Bluetooth; 2) data of people and companies from the page "Around You" can not be added to the list "Your contacts".
To transfer contacts via NFC you need enable NFC on smartphones. On your smartphone, you need to open the AR Contact app, bring smartphones to each other by matching the NFC modules and when a ready signal to the exchange to tap the screen. This will send the complete data of your profile to the second smartphone and your profile will be added to friends. For mutual exchange of contacts, this procedure must be repeated for the second smartphone. When exchanging contacts via NFC you see to whom you are sending data, which ensures maximum security.
