Method and system for managing communication between external and implantable devices
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for managing bi-directional communication between an external device (ED) and an implantable medical device (IMD), the method comprising:
- receiving an active ED configuration and a request for communications parameters to be used with the active ED configuration;
identifying a pre-existing configuration, from a collection of pre-existing configurations, that matches the active ED configuration, the collection of pre-existing configurations having an associated collection of predefined parameter sets related to a wireless protocol of interest;
determining a resultant parameter set from the collection of predefined parameter sets based on the pre-existing configuration identified; and
returning the resultant parameter set as the communications parameters in response to the request, the resultant parameter set including at least one of data transfer parameters or connectivity parameters to be utilized by the ED to establish and maintain bi-directional communication with the IMD.

Abstract
Systems and methods for managing bi-directional communication between an external device (ED) and an implantable medical device (IMD) are provided. The method comprises receiving an active ED configuration and a request for communications parameters to be used with the active ED configuration. The method further comprises identifying a pre-existing configuration, from a collection of pre-existing configurations that match the active ED configuration, the collection of pre-existing configurations having an associated collection of predefined parameter sets. The method further determines a resultant parameter set from the collection of predefined parameter sets based on the pre-existing configuration identified and returns the resultant parameter set in connection with the request, the resultant parameter set to be utilized by the ED for bi-directional communication with the IMD.
