System and method for wearable smart device communications
First Claim
1. A wearable electronic device for communicating with a remote device, the wearable electronic device comprising:
- a first wireless communication port configured to receive a first signal from the remote device via a first communication protocol, wherein the first signal indicates a request by the remote device to communicate with the wearable electronic device;
a second wireless communication port configured to transmit a second signal to the remote device via a second communication protocol that is different than the first communication protocol, wherein the second signal initializes communications with the remote device via the second wireless communication port; and
a processor coupled to the first wireless communication port and to the second wireless communication port and configured to receive the first signal via the first wireless communication port and to transmit the second signal via the second wireless communication port in response to receiving the first signal.

Abstract
A wearable smart device includes an outer casing wearable by a user and defining at least one cavity and having a neck portion, a first end portion designed to rest on a first shoulder of the user, and a second end portion designed to rest on a second shoulder of the user. The wearable smart device also includes a wireless communication port at least partially positioned within the cavity and designed to communicate with a remote device. The wireless communication port includes a dedicated short range communication (DSRC) port, a near field communication (NFC) port, an infrared communication port and/or an ultrasound communication port. A processor is positioned within the cavity, coupled to the wireless communication port and designed to transmit one or more signals to the remote device and/or receive one or more signals from the remote device via the wireless communication port.
