a host computing device comprising a host network interface for communication with at least one remote computing device via at least one data communication network and a host personal area network interface for communication with a wearable computing device via a general personal area network;
wherein the host computing device is configured to:
provide a host personal area network service that data communicatively couples the wearable computing device and the host computing device via a personal area network interface;
provide a host network service that data communicatively couples the host computing device and the at least one remote computing device via the host network interface;
provide a host routing service that routes communications between a gateway service provided by the at least one remote computing device and a data routing service provided by the wearable computing device via the general personal area network and the at least one data communication network; and
receive an advertisement packet from the wearable computing device via a low-power personal area network and, in response to receiving the advertisement packet, determine if a connection strength is above a connection strength threshold for the general personal area network before transmitting a connection attempt packet to the wearable computing device.
