Abstract: This document describes intelligent device accessory sharing system. When desiring to borrow a device accessory, a borrower device sends an enquiry to potential lender devices, the enquiry identifying the desired device accessory and optionally compatibility details for the device accessory (e.g., driver information for the device accessory installed on the borrower device). Each potential lender device receives the enquiry and automatically determines whether a user of the potential lender device has the device accessory and/or whether the device accessory is available for lending by the potential lender. Based on these determinations, each potential lender device returns an indication to the borrower device of whether the device accessory can be borrowed from the potential lender, and the borrower device displays or otherwise presents indications to the borrower of the potential lenders from which the device accessory can be borrowed.
