Leader and follower management system for wearable devices
First Claim
1. A method for initiating a following process between a first wearable computing device and a second wearable computing device, the method comprising:
- identifying, by one or more processors, a first gesture made by a first user of a first wearable computing device;
sending, by one or more processors, an offer to a second wearable computing device, wherein the offer is to follow the first user;
receiving, by one or more processors, an indication of an acceptance of the offer from the second wearable computing device, wherein the acceptance of the offer comprises an identified second gesture made by a second user of the second wearable computing device;
causing the second wearable computing device to follow the first user, wherein causing the second wearable computing device to follow the first user comprises;
sending, by one or more processors, to the second wearable computing device, information related to, at least, the current location of the first wearable computing device; and
causing the second wearable computing device to overlay a visual element onto a view of surroundings of the second wearable computing device, based on the information related to, at least, the current location of the first wearable computing device;
receiving an image, captured via a camera of the first wearable computing device, that includes a face;
identifying, by one or more processors, that the face corresponds to a third user utilizing a facial recognition technique; and
determining, by one or more processors, that the third user is included within a list of users who are not permitted to follow the first user.

Abstract
A wearable computing device identifies a gesture made by the user of the wearable computing device. The wearable computing device sends an offer to a second wearable computing device, where the offer is to follow the user. The wearable computing device receives an indication of acceptance of the offer from the second wearable computing device, where the acceptance of the offer comprises an identified gesture made by the user of the second wearable computing device. The wearable computing device sends information related to at least the current location of the wearable computing device to the second wearable computing device.
