@xoft sorry for the non-answer
I imagine the following:
- Upon starting an app on the phone (called device later on), the device sets up a server, listening to port x
- Any PC with the correct software (aka computer) could connect to that device if it can reach the device, I.e same wifi, port forwarding, however you want
- to ensure access control, every newly connecting computer must be acknowledged on the device, the connection should be ssl/tls encrypted and device acknowledgement may be stored by the app
- the computer can then invoke kinda like RPC functions on the phone like querying the contacts database
- as a device may be connected to any number of computers and a computer may be connected or any number of devices, a computer software should offer the functionality to directly "proxy" data between multiple devices.
I'm not sure if that's already there. I don't think so, but it wouldn't be too hard to implement. I may take a look at this, if time isn't crucial
