Abstract
Inter-device service access is disclosed including issuing, by a source device running a first program, an access request by the first program for a specific service, and transmitting, by the source device running the first program, the access request through an inter-device link to a target device that provides the specific service, the target device being configured to receive the access request, forward the received access request to a second program running on the target device, the second program executing a corresponding service function.
