Abstract: At least certain embodiments of the present disclosure include a framework for turning one or more multifunctional devices coupled to a personal area network (PAN) into virtual accessories of another multifunctional device coupled to the PAN. In one embodiment, connection between a multifunctional device and a PAN is established, where the PAN is further coupled to a set of multifunctional devices. One or more distributed functionalities associated with a multi-device capable application are assigned to each multifunctional device based on relationship between the multifunctional devices. At least part of the multi-device capable application is shared between the multifunctional devices. Using the multifunctional device, the one or more distributed functionalities are performed in collaboration with the other multifunctional devices.

Abstract translation: 本公开的至少某些实施例包括用于将耦合到个人区域网络（PAN）的一个或多个多功能设备转换成耦合到PAN的另一多功能设备的虚拟附件的框架。 在一个实施例中，建立了多功能设备和PAN之间的连接，其中PAN进一步耦合到一组多功能设备。 基于多功能设备之间的关系将与多设备能力应用相关联的一个或多个分布式功能分配给每个多功能设备。 在多功能设备之间共享至少部分具有多设备能力的应用。 使用多功能设备，与其他多功能设备协同执行一个或多个分布式功能。
