Systems and methods for providing one or more functionalities to a wearable computing device

A computationally-implemented system, comprising:

• means for detecting presence of one or more electronic devices near a wearable computing device that are within a spatial pod of the wearable computing device, the spatial pod of the wearable computing device being a spatial volume that includes the wearable computing device and being defined by an enveloping boundary, where low-power wireless signals generated by the wearable computing device being discernible over background noise within the enveloping boundary and not discernible over background noise outside the enveloping boundary, the wearable computing device being a computing device designed to be worn by a user;
• means for determining which of the one or more electronic devices that are detected as being within the spatial pod of the wearable computing device are at least designed to provide one or more specific functionalities that are being sought by the wearable computing device;
• and
• means for acquiring, by the wearable computing device based at least, in part, on said means for detecting and said means for determining, one or more specific functionalities that are available through at least one electronic device that was detected within the spatial pod of the wearable computing device and that was determined to provide the one or more specific functionalities.
