Processor sharing between in-range devices
First Claim
1. In a first system, a method for utilizing processing of a second system by the first system, the method comprising:
- initiating, by the first system, establishment of a wireless communication link with the second system;
identifying, by the first system, a processing capability of the second system that is available for use by the first system, wherein said identifying takes place prior to any utilization of said identified processing capability by the first system, and said identifying comprises;
receiving information from the second system regarding computer applications that the second system is capable of executing; and
identifying a computer application on the second system that is capable of being utilized by the first system, where a reduced-capability version of the identified computer application resides on the first system;
communicating, by the first system, to the second system, a request for utilizing the identified processing capability; and
utilizing, by the first system, the requested processing capability.

Abstract
A system and method for processor sharing between in-range devices. Various aspects of the present invention may comprise establishing a wireless communication link between a first system and a second system, for example, utilizing respective communication modules. A processing capability of the second system that is available for use with the first system may be identified, for example, by respective processing capability identification modules. An indication of the identified processing capability may be output, for example, by respective output modules of at least one of the first and second systems. A request for utilizing the identified processing capability of the second system with the first system may be received, for example, by respective interface modules of at least one of the first and second systems. The requested processing capability of the second system may be utilized with the first system, for example, by respective processing modules of the systems.
