1. An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
- a data processing unit; and
a control unit in wireless communication with the data processing unit, wherein the control unit is configured to establish a communication range with the data processing unit when the control unit is placed within a predetermined distance from the data processing unit, wherein the control unit is configured to transmit one or more predefined commands to the data processing unit when the communication range is established, and wherein the data processing unit is configured to perform one or more predefined functions in response to the received one or more predefined commands and further configured to transmit a response data packet based, at least in part, on the one or more predefined commands; and
wherein, in response to receiving the one or more predefined commands, the data processing unit is configured to retrieve identification information and to transmit the identification information to the control unit; and
wherein the control unit is further configured to generate a communication key and to transmit the generated communication key to the data processing unit upon receipt of the identification information.

10. A method, comprising:
-
positioning a controller unit within a predetermined transmission range from a transmitter unit to establish a communication range between the controller unit and the transmitter unit; transmitting one or more predefined commands from the controller unit to the transmitter unit when the controller unit is placed within the predetermined transmission range; retrieving from a memory identification information upon receipt of the one or more predefined commands, and transmitting the retrieved identification information to the control unit; receiving a response data packet from the transmitter unit in response to the transmitted one or more predefined commands when the controller unit is placed within the predetermined transmission range, wherein the response data packet is based, at least in part, on the one or more predefined commands; and generating a communication key, and transmitting the generated communication key to the transmitter unit upon receipt of the identification information. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20)
