Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method to broker computing device resources between computing devices, comprising: identifying an application executing on an operating system of a first computing device, wherein executing of the application is associated with a first user profile; identifying a resource type to facilitate the executing of the application; maintaining a list of multiple computing devices each having at least an available application service of the identified resource type by discovering the multiple computing devices through a communication protocol available to the first computing device and identifying the multiple computing devices that are associated with and at least partially controllable by the first user profile via an ownership credential of the first user profile; comparing a comparable limitation of each available application service instance from the list against each other in the list to select a target computing device from the multiple computing devices to offer up a target application service instance of the resource type to the application, wherein the comparable limitation is an available usage capacity of a secondary resource to be consumed if the each available application service instance is utilized to serve the application; and commanding the target computing device to utilize the target application service instance on behalf of the application that is executing on the operating system of the first computing device.
