TECHNIQUES FOR SHARING DEVICE CAPABILITIES OVER A NETWORK OF USER DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18216099 Titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR SHARING DEVICE CAPABILITIES OVER A NETWORK OF USER DEVICES'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes techniques for generating information about the capabilities of a cluster of devices in a network environment. The capabilities of each device in the cluster are determined, and then the intersection of these capabilities is calculated to generate cluster capability information. This information is then used to respond to requests from other devices in the network that require specific tasks to be performed.
Original Abstract Submitted
Techniques are disclosed for generating device cluster capability information for a cluster of devices in a network environment. Capability information can specify capabilities of the devices in the cluster. A first user device can generate device capabilities for the first user device and obtain device capabilities for other devices in the cluster. The first user device can generate cluster capability information providing an intersection of the first set of device capabilities and device capabilities of the other user devices in the cluster. The first user device can obtain cluster capability information for other clusters in the network environment and receive a request from a service user device to perform a specific task. The first user device can transmit cluster capability information relating to a selected cluster that corresponds with the request.
