First Claim
Patent Images
1. A user-wearable infusion pump, comprising:
- a reservoir configured to contain a medicament;
a drive mechanism configured to facilitate delivery of the medicament to a user;
a rechargeable battery configured to be charged wirelessly;
an input button; and
a processor functionally linked to the input button and configured to receive input for control of functions of the user-wearable infusion pump in response to input received via the input button, wherein the processor is configured to;
receive a first input via the input button;
cause the user-wearable infusion pump to execute a first function in response to the first input received via the first input button;
detect a presence of a wireless charging signal;
receive a second input via the input button, the second input being the same as the first input, when in the presence of the wireless charging signal;
cause the user-wearable infusion pump to execute a second function different from the first function when the second input the same as the first input is received in the presence of the wireless charging signal.

Abstract
A user-wearable infusion pump system includes an inductively or otherwise wirelessly chargeable battery and at least one button. Activation of the at least one button when not in the presence of an inductive charging signal can enable and/or initiate a first function or operation and activation of the at least one button in the presence of an inductive charging signal can enable and/or initiate a different, second function or operation. Such functionality can also be enabled in the presence of other types of electromagnetic signals.

10. A user-wearable infusion pump, comprising:
-
a reservoir configured to contain a medicament; a drive mechanism configured to facilitate delivery of the medicament to a user; an input button; and a processor functionally linked to the input button and configured to receive input for control of functions of the user-wearable infusion pump in response to input received via the input button, wherein the processor is configured to; receive a first input via the input button; cause the user-wearable infusion pump to execute a first function in response to the first input received via the first input button; detect a presence of an externally originating electromagnetic signal; receive a second input via the input button, the second input being the same as the first input, when in the presence of the externally originating electromagnetic signal; cause the user-wearable infusion pump to execute a second function different from the first function when the second input the same as the first input is received in the presence of the externally originating electromagnetic signal. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
