SECURE COMMUNICATIONS WITH WEARABLE DEVICES
First Claim
1. A method for secure connections, the method comprising:
- receiving a security level input at an interface of a wearable device, the security level input identifying a sensor set including one or more types of sensor measurements from one or more sensors of the wearable device, the security level input further identifying that data corresponding to the sensor set must be transmitted to a recipient device only according to a predetermined security level setting, the predetermined security level setting indicating at least whether the data corresponding to the sensor set is to be encrypted prior to transmission to the recipient device;
determining, by the wearable device, that a sensor measurement data set is to be transmitted to another device, the sensor measurement data corresponding to the identified sensor set, wherein the sensor measurement data set comprises one or more sensor measurements from one or more sensors of the wearable device; and
transmitting the sensor measurement data set from the wearable device to the recipient device according to the predetermined security level setting identified by the security level input for the identified sensor set.

Abstract
Various embodiments described herein include systems and methods directed towards allowing a wearable device with one or more sensors to communicate with a third-party network or device. The wearable device'"'"'s software may include user interfaces wherein a user may select a data set from a particular sensor and allocate a security level associated with that sensor'"'"'s data and with a particular third-party network. Different security levels may be correlated to different protections, such as encryption or password-protection of data, or ensuring that an agreement has been signed, or ensuring that the third party is identified in a database before transmission. Before sending any sensor data or receiving any third party data, the wearable device may check this user-allocated security level, executes any required security precautions, and allows or denies the data transfer accordingly. Security levels may also govern receipt of data by the wearable device from the third party.
