Hub-to-hub peripheral discovery

Aspects of the disclosure enable location of a wireless peripheral by a computing device even when the wireless peripheral is beyond a communication range of, or otherwise inaccessible by, the computing device. A user gives a command to a first computing device to determine the location of the wireless peripheral. The first computing device requests other networked computing devices to locate the wireless peripheral. At least one of the other networked computing devices establishes communication with the wireless peripheral, obtains location information for the wireless peripheral, and communicates the location information to the first computing device. The first computing device communicates the location of the wireless peripheral to the user. 本公开内容的方面使能够甚至是在无线外设超过计算设备的通信范围或者不可以被所述计算设备访问时由计算设备定位所述无线外设。用户向第计算设备给出对于确定所述无线外设的所述位置的命令。所述第计算设备请求其它连网的计算设备定位所述无线外设。所述其它连网的计算设备中的至少个计算设备建立与所述无线外设的通信、获取所述无线外设的位置信息、并且向所述第计算设备传送所述位置信息。所述第计算设备向所述用户传送所述无线外设的所述位置。
