US Patent 11005759 Delegated communication methods and systems for a wearable device

Systems and methods for delegating communication from a wearable computing device to a remote network via a host computing device connected to the remote network include providing a host routing service and a host data communications endpoint at the host computing device. Incoming data message(s) formatted according to an Internet Protocol and destinated for delivery to an application program at the wearable computing device are received via the host routing service. The incoming data message(s) are encapsulated using a transport protocol and transmitted to a data routing service of the wearable computing device. In a reverse direction, outgoing data message(s) destinated for delivery to a remote computing device connected to the remote network and encapsulated in a transport protocol are received via the host routing service. The outgoing data message(s) are de-encapsulated, re-encapsulated using an Internet Protocol, and transmitted to the remote computing device via the remote network.
