Microsoft Explores Mobile Device Collaboration

Posted on Sep 23, 08 10:08 AM PDT

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?
