Delegated communication methods and systems for a wearable device

A wearable computing device, comprising:

• a processor;
• a communication interface;
• and
• at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing data and/or computer-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
• provide a data routing service having a client data communications endpoint with at least one socket interface;
• execute an application program that implements the at least one socket interface;
• receive, via the data routing service, one or more outgoing data messages to be delivered to a remote network;
• encapsulate the one or more outgoing data messages using a transport protocol;
• and
• forward the encapsulated one or more outgoing data message to the communication interface for transmission to a host routing service of a host computing device that is connected to the remote network.

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

• a host computing device connected to the remote network, the host computing device comprising a first processor, a first memory, and a first communication interface, the first memory storing processor-readable instructions that when executed by the first processor cause the first processor to provide a host routing service that implements a host data communications endpoint;
• a wearable computing device comprising a second processor, a second communication interface, and a second memory, the second memory storing processor-readable instructions that when executed by the second processor cause the second processor to provide a data routing service that implements a client data communications endpoint with at least one socket interface for one or more application programs;
• and
• a personal area network communicatively coupling the first communication interface to the second communication interface.
