Microsoft Explores Mobile Device Collaboration

Microsoft is currently thinking about rolling out a module-based device in its patent application known as "mobile device collaboration". This phone hardware and software combination will feature integrated “proximity detection”, “synchronizer ” and “resource coordinator” modules. Whenever you bring similar handsets close together, they will form a single computing module and function as a single device, sharing all their resources - pretty much like those Constructicons or Dinobots of Transformers fame. Some of the possible scenarios explored by Microsoft include :-

  • Video Display Aggregation
  • CPU/Memory Aggregation
  • Storage Aggregation
  • Battery Aggregation
  • Radio/Antenna Aggregation
  • Multiple microphone Aggregation
  • Speaker Aggregation
  • Camera Aggregation
  • Keypad Aggregation
Do you think this patent application will catch on if it goes live?
