SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF ANALYTE VALUES
First Claim
1. A method for a wireless data communication between an analyte sensor system and a mobile device capable of wirelessly receiving analyte values from the analyte sensor system, the method comprising:
- transmitting a first series of advertisement signals generated by the analyte sensor system beginning at a first time;
receiving a data connection request from a mobile device at a second time;
establishing a data connection with the mobile device;
transmitting by the analyte sensor system a connection interval indicative of a difference between the second time and the first time to the mobile device;
transmitting by the analyte sensor system an analyte value to the mobile device;
terminating the data connection with the mobile device; and
causing a transceiver of the analyte sensor system to enter a sleep state.

Abstract
Systems and methods for a continuous monitoring of analyte values received from an analyte sensor system are provided. One method for a wireless data communication between an analyte sensor system and a mobile device involves storing identification information associated with a transceiver of the analyte sensor system, the identification information entered by a user of the mobile device via a custom application running on the mobile device; causing the custom application to enter a background mode; searching for advertisement signals; receiving an advertisement signal from the transceiver; authenticating the transceiver based on the identification information; prompting the user to bring the custom application to a foreground mode; causing the custom application to request a confirmation from the user that a data connection with the transceiver is desired; receiving the confirmation from the user; and completing the data connection with the transceiver.

5. A method for a wireless data communication between an analyte sensor system and a mobile device, the method comprising:
-
searching for advertisement signals generated by the analyte sensor system; receiving an advertisement signal from a transceiver of the analyte sensor system;
transmitting a data connection request to the transceiver of the analyte sensor system;establishing a data connection with the transceiver if the data connection request is granted; receiving from the analyte sensor system a connection interval indicative of a difference between a first time at which the transceiver started to transmit a series of advertisement signals and a second time at which the transceiver received the data connection request from the mobile device; receiving by the mobile device an analyte value from the transceiver of the analyte sensor system; terminating the data connection with the transceiver, thereby causing the transceiver to enter a sleep mode; entering an inactive mode during which the mobile device does not communicate with the transceiver; calculating an exit time at which the mobile device is to exit the inactive mode based at least partly on the connection interval; exiting the inactive mode at the exit time; and searching for advertisement signals generated by the analyte sensor system after exiting the inactive mode. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
