Delegated communication methods and systems for a wearable device

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing data and/or computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor operatively coupled to a host computing device that is in communication with a wearable computing device having a data routing service, cause the processor to:

• provide a host routing service that implements a host data communications endpoint at the host computing device;
• receive, via the host routing service, one or more incoming messages formatted according to an Internet Protocol and destined for delivery to an application program at the wearable computing device;
• encapsulate the one or more incoming data messages using a transport protocol;
• and
• transmit the one or more incoming data messages to the data routing service of the wearable computing device.

A system for delegating communication with a remote network, the system comprising:

• a wearable computing device configured to provide a data routing service having a client data communications endpoint with at least one socket interface for one or more application programs;
• and
• a host computing device communicatively coupled to the wearable computing device and to the remote network, the host computing device configured to:
• provide a host routing service that implements a host data communications endpoint;
• receive, via the host routing service, one or more data messages formatted according to an Internet Protocol and destined for delivery to the wearable computing device;
• encapsulate the one or more data messages using a transport protocol;
• and
• transmit the one or more data messages to the data routing service of the wearable computing device.
