SYSTEM AND METHOD OF ASSOCIATING DEVICES BASED ON ACTUATION OF INPUT DEVICES AND SIGNAL STRENGTH
First Claim
1. A method of associating a mobile device with a medical device, comprising:
- actuating a first input device of the medical device;
transmitting at least one signal by the medical device to the mobile device;
actuating a second input device of the mobile device at substantially the same time as, or within a defined time interval after or before, the actuation of the first input device of the medical device;
determining, by the mobile device, a plurality of indications related to signal strengths of the at least one signal transmitted by the medical device; and
performing an association procedure between the mobile device and the medical device based on the plurality of indications.

Abstract
Various operations may be performed based on a distance-related function associated with two or more devices. For example, an association procedure for two or more devices may be based on one or more determined distances. Similarly, presence management may be based on one or more determined distances. A distance-related function may take various form including, for example, a distance between devices, two or more distances between devices, a rate of change in a relative distance between devices, relative acceleration between devices, or some combination of two or more of the these distance-related functions.
