Method and system for automatically redirecting jobs in a device community

A system for automatically redirecting jobs in a device community, said system comprising:

• a processor;
• a data bus coupled to said processor;
• and
• a computer-usable non-transitory medium embodying computer code, said computer-usable medium being coupled to said data bus, said computer program code comprising instructions executable by said processor and configured for:
• arranging a device community by connecting at least two networked devices to one another to form said device community based on a set of rules and policies in order to interact and publish a device capability with respect to said at least two networked devices of said device community;
• monitoring and tracking a status of said at least two networked devices associated with said device community via a self-assessment approach in order to thereafter transmit a job between said at least two networked devices in response to a help request with respect to an exception condition indicating a fault device needs to transfer a workload to another device within said device community wherein each receiving device of said at least two networked devices receiving said help request automatically performs a self-assessment in relation to said job based on a particular set UP criteria and thereafter determines if said receiving device is able to provide a better service than said fault device sending said help request;
• and
• providing a notification indicative of a transmission of said job with respect to a user in said device community, thereby effectively re-routing said job between said at least two networked devices across said device community while providing internal workload balancing with respect to said device community.

• and
• communicating said at least two networked devices in said device community via at least one of the following standard protocols:
• a simple network management protocol;
• or
• a file transfer protocol.
