1. A user-wearable infusion pump, comprising:
- a reservoir configured to contain a medicament;
a drive mechanism configured to facilitate delivery of the medicament to a user;
a rechargeable battery configured to be charged wirelessly;
an input button; and
a processor functionally linked to the input button and configured to receive input for control of functions of the user-wearable infusion pump in response to input received via the input button, wherein the processor is configured to;
detect a presence of a wireless changing signal;
receive a first input via the input button to cause the user-wearable infusion pump to execute a first function in response to the first input received via the first input button in an absence of the wireless charging signal, the first function being initiating a medicament delivery operation with the user-wearable infusion pump; and
receive a second input via the input button, the second input being the same as the first input, in the presence of the wireless charging signal to cause the user-wearable infusion pump to execute a second function different from the first function when the second input the same as the first input is received in the presence of the wireless charging signal, wherein the second function comprises activating a pairing feature of the user-wearable infusion pump for pairing the user-wearable infusion pump with a remote control.

Abstract
A user-wearable infusion pump system includes an inductively or otherwise wirelessly chargeable battery and at least one button. Activation of the at least one button when not in the presence of an inductive charging signal can enable and/or initiate a first function or operation and activation of the at least one button in the presence of an inductive charging signal can enable and/or initiate a different, second function or operation. Such functionality can also be enabled in the presence of other types of electromagnetic signals.

10. A user-wearable infusion pump, comprising:
-
a reservoir configured to contain a medicament; a drive mechanism configured to facilitate delivery of the medicament to a user; an input button; and a processor functionally linked to the input button and configured to receive input for control of functions of the user-wearable infusion pump in response to input received via the input button, wherein the processor is configured to; detect a presence of a type of externally originating electromagnetic signal; receive a first input via the input button to cause the user-wearable infusion pump to execute a first function directly in response to the first input received via the first input button in an absence of the type of externally originating electromagnetic signal, the first function being initiating a medicament delivery operation with the user-wearable infusion pump; and receive a second input via the input button, the second input being the same as the first input when in the presence of the type of externally originating electromagnetic signal, to cause the user-wearable infusion pump to execute a second function different from the first function when the second input the same as the first input is received because of the presence of the type of externally originating electromagnetic signal, the second function being activating a pairing feature of the user-wearable infusion pump for pairing the user-wearable infusion pump with a remote control. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
