SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING AND TRANSMITTING SENSOR DATA
First Claim
1. A method for managing real-time information in a system for monitoring a glucose concentration of a host, the system comprising a sensor electronics module operatively coupled to a continuous glucose sensor, and a display device , the method comprising:
- tracking time at a first, predetermined resolution at the sensor electronics module;
generating, using the sensor electronics module, a glucose value;
associating, using the sensor system, a time with the glucose value based on the time at the first resolution;
tracking time at a second, predetermined resolution that is lower than the first resolution at the display device;
translating, using the sensor electronics module, the time associated with the glucose value to the second resolution; and
wirelessly transmitting, using the sensor system, the glucose value and the translated time to the display device.

Abstract
Systems and methods for continuous measurement of an analyte in a host are provided. The system generally includes a continuous analyte sensor configured to continuously measure a concentration of analyte in a host and a sensor electronics module physically connected to the continuous analyte sensor during sensor use, wherein the sensor electronics module is further configured to directly wirelessly communicate sensor information to one or more display devices. Establishment of communication between devices can involve using a unique identifier associated with the sensor electronics module to authenticate communication. Times tracked at the sensor electronics module and the display module can be at different resolutions, and the different resolutions can be translated to facilitate communication. In addition, the frequency of establishing communication channels between the sensor electronics module and the display devices can vary depending upon whether reference calibration information is being updated.
