A method and apparatus are for providing information to at least one other wireless communication device (WCD of a group of WCDs of which the WCD is a member, wherein the WCDs in the group have agreed to share computing resources. An assignment as one of a provider WCD and a recipient WCD is received in response to the information. At least one of two actions is taken. The first action is to operate, as a provider WCD, a power intensive portion of an application and providing the results to at least one recipient WCD of the group of WCDs. The second action is to operate, as a recipient WCD, to receive the results. Another method provides for a WCD to make a selection of the provider and recipient WCDs.

Apparatus and method for improving application performance within a group of communication devices

The present application provides an electromagnetic coupling interface and a method for managing an electromagnetic coupling capability relative to a particular charge location with an electromagnetic coupling interface. The electromagnetic coupling interface includes a carrier substrate including two or more moveably coupled segments, the carrier substrate having at least two use positions, where in each use position the two or more moveably coupled segments have a different spatial arrangement. The electromagnetic coupling further includes two or more sets of conductors, where each set of conductors is associated with a respective one of the two or more moveably coupled segments of the carrier substrate and is associated with one or more coils in each of the at least two use positions.

Electromagnetic coupling interface and method for managing an electromagnetic coupling capability

A method and apparatus for wireless communication device operation comprises receiving one or more metrics from at least two members of a group whose members are wireless communication devices. The members of the group have agreed to share resources within the group and have their wireless connections controlled by the WCD. The wireless connections of the at least two members are managed, based on the one or more metrics, to optimize performance of the at least two members. The one or more metrics comprise at least one temperature based metric.
