Abstract
A collaboration request may be sent to a host or a peripheral when a job is to be processed. The job may include one or more tasks. The host determines which device is better suited to act as host by analyzing the type of task or job to be executed and the capabilities of the host and peripheral. If the peripheral is better suited to act as host, the host and peripheral swap roles and control of a task or job is transferred to the peripheral. The host and peripheral may return to their default roles once the task or job is complete.
