Smart wearable devices and system therefor

Abstract

A description is therefore provided of technologies enhancing interoperability of devices located in a proximity from each other, with the goal of improving service performance and security. Interoperability between a wearable device on user's hand and a door or a mobile phone results in improved security as well as convenience of use. Interoperability between mobile devices and nearby devices belonging to different users, able to provide local computational power, results in lowering of bandwidth requirements for data transfer, by means of performing computations on the data being collected locally, as opposed to it being done on a remote server.
