HANDHELD DIABETES MANAGER WITH AUTOMATED DISCONNECT FEATURE
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for a handheld diabetes-management device to establish a data connection with a Continua manager, comprising:
- receiving, by the diabetes-management device, a request to establish a new data connection with a computing device, where the computing device is physically separated from the diabetes-management device and operates as a manager in accordance with IEEE standard 11073;
determining, by the diabetes-management device, whether the diabetes-management device has an existing data connection with a medical device that is physically separated from the diabetes-management device, the determination being in response to receiving the request to establish a new data connection;
terminating, by the diabetes-management device, the existing data connection with the medical device, the termination being in response to the determination that the diabetes-management device has an existing connection with the medical device; and
establishing, by the diabetes-management device, a new data connection with the computing device in accordance with IEEE standard 11073.

15. A handheld diabetes-management device having an automated disconnect feature when establishing a data connection with a Continua manager, comprising:
-
a port configured to receive a test strip for blood glucose measurement; a blood glucose measurement module cooperatively operable with a test strip inserted in the port for blood glucose measurement; a communications module that selectively communicates via a wireless data link with a medical device, the medical device being physically separated from the diabetes manager; and a connectivity module configured to receive a request to establish a new data connection with a computing device and operates, in response to the request, to determine whether the diabetes-management device has an existing data connection with the medical device, and further operates, in response to the determination that the diabetes-management device has an existing data connection with the medical device, to terminate the existing data connection with the medical device, where the computing device is physically separated from the diabetes-management device and operates as a manager in accordance with IEEE standard 11073. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
