Device-to-device communication for resource sharing

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a plurality of instructions configured to cause a first device, in response to execution of the instructions by the first device, to:

• process a request received from a second device, the request including a device identifier to identify the second device, the request also requesting an indication of availability of a plurality of resources located local to the first device and not locally available to the second device;
• send to the second device, the indication of availability of the plurality of resources of the first device, the plurality of resources comprising a sensor that produces data that changes with physical movement of the first device;
• process a selection from the second device, the selection indicating a selected resource of the plurality of resources;
• and
• send control instructions to the second device, the control instructions including data derived from the selected resource.

A first device configured to have a primary use as a mobile phone, the first device comprising:

• a processor to:
• process a request received from a second device configured to have a primary use as a display device unassociated with the first device, the request including a device identifier to identify the second device, the request also requesting an indication of availability of a plurality of resources located local to the first device and not locally available to the second device;
• send to the second device, an indication of availability of the plurality of resources located local to the first device, the plurality of resources located local to the first device comprising a sensor that produces data that changes with physical movement of the first device;
• process a selection from the second device, the selection indicating a selected resource of the plurality of resources located local to the first device;
• and
• send control instructions to the second device, the control instructions including data derived from the selected resource.

A method for using a first device to control a second device, the method comprising:

• processing a request received from the second device including a device identifier to identify the second device, the request also requesting an indication of availability of a plurality of resources located local to the first device and not locally available to the second device;
• sending to the second device, an indication of availability of the plurality of resources of the first device, the plurality of resources comprising a sensor that produces data that changes with physical movement of the first device;
• processing a selection from the second device, the selection indicating a selected resource from the plurality of resources;
• and
• sending control instructions to the second device, the control instructions including data derived from the selected resource.
