Adaptive power and communication routing for body-worn devices

A body-worn hub, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• memory including a plurality of computer-executable components that are executable by the one or more processors to perform a plurality of actions, the plurality of actions comprising:
• detecting at the body-worn hub that a battery charge level of a battery in a body-worn device connected to the body-worn hub via a wired connection is at or below a battery charge level threshold;
• in response to determining that an additional battery charge level of an additional body-worn device connected to the body-worn hub via a wired connection is sufficient to charge the battery in the body-worn device, routing power from the additional body-worn device to the body-worn device via the body-worn hub to charge the battery in the body-worn device;
• and
• in response to determining that the additional battery charge level of the additional body-worn device is insufficient to charge the battery of the body-worn device, routing power from multiple body-worn devices that are connected to the body-worn hub via multiple wired connections to the body-worn device to charge the battery in the body-worn device when the battery charge levels of the multiple body-worn devices are sufficient to charge the battery of the body-worn device.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:

• exchanging communication between a body-worn hub and a body-worn device via a short-range wireless connection established using a first short-range wireless transceiver of the body-worn hub and a second short-range wireless transceiver of the body-worn device;
• terminating the short-range wireless connection between the body-worn hub and the body-worn device when a wired connection is established between the body-worn hub and the body-worn device;
• receiving one or more event notifications from the body-worn device at the body-worn hub via the wired connection;
• sending one or more commands from the body-worn hub to the body-worn device via the wired connection to trigger the body-worn device to perform one or more actions;
• and
• reestablishing the short-range wireless connection between the body-worn hub and the body-worn device when the wired connection between the body-worn hub and the body-worn device is terminated.
