Proximate communication with a target device

A user device for sharing a resource, the user device comprising:

• a processor to transmit a discovery request communication;
• a memory resource to store a response to the discovery request communication, the response comprising information about the identity of a target device, the processor to process the response to the discovery request communication from the target device;
• the processor to transmit an information request communication to enable discovery, the transmitter of the information request communication to be hosted local to the user device but remote to the target device replying to the information request communication to enable discovery;
• the memory resource to store a response to the information request communication, the information request communication to comprise a configuration, the processor to process the response to the information request communication to enable discovery;
• and
• the processor to transmit a command to perform an operation on the target device based on the configuration of the response to the information request communication.

A target device for sharing a resource, the target device comprising:

• a memory resource to store a received discovery request communication;
• a processor to transmit a response to the received discovery request communication, the response comprising information about the identity of the target device;
• the memory resource to store a received information request communication to enable discovery transmitted from a user device, the transmitter of the information request communication to be hosted local to the user device but remote to the target device replying to the information request communication to enable discovery;
• the processor to transmit a response to the information request communication, the information request communication to comprise a configuration;
• and
• the memory resource to store a received command, the command to comprise an operation to be performed on the target device based on the configuration of the response to the information request communication.

A method for sharing a resource of a user device, comprising:

• transmitting a discovery request communication;
• processing a received response to the discovery request communication from a target device, the response comprising information about the identity of the target device;
• transmitting an information request communication to enable discovery, the transmitter of the information request communication to be hosted local to the user device but remote to the target device replying to the information request communication to enable discovery;
• processing a received response to the information request communication to enable discovery, the response comprising a configuration;
• and
• transmitting a command to perform an operation on the target device based on the configuration of the response to the information request communication.

A method of sharing a resource with a target device, the method comprising:

• processing a received discovery request communication;
• transmitting a response to the discovery request communication from a user device, the response comprising information about the identity of the target device;
• processing a received information request communication to enable discovery, the transmitter of the information request communication to be hosted local to the user device but remote to the target device replying to the information request communication to enable discovery;
• transmitting a response to the information request communication, the response comprising a configuration;
• and
• performing a received command on the target device.

At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium for a user device to share a resource, comprising a set of instructions, which, if executed by a processor, cause the user device to:

• transmit a discovery request communication;
• process a received response to the discovery request communication from a target device, the response comprising information about the identity of the target device;
• transmit an information request communication to enable discovery, the transmitter of the information request communication to be hosted local to the user device but remote to the target device replying to the information request communication to enable discovery;
• process a received response to the information request communication to enable discovery, the response comprising a configuration;
• and
• transmit a command to perform an operation on the target device based on the configuration of the response to the information request communication.
