Systems and methods for wireless pairing and communication for electro-stimulation
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- at least two electronic devices, each of the at least two electronic devices having a unique ID, and at least one of the electronic devices being configured to communicate wirelessly with at least one of the other electronic devices only when the at least two electronic devices have been grouped into a wireless network; and
an additional device configured to wirelessly detect the presence of, communicate with, and distinctly identify each of the at least two electronic devices, the additional device being further configured to communicate the unique ID from each one of the at least two electronic devices to the other electronic devices of the at least two electronic devices to group the at least two devices into a wireless network when the at least two electronic devices are detected by the additional device to be located within a proximity threshold of the additional device,the at least two electronic devices further configured to wirelessly communicate directly with each other only after being grouped into a wireless network by the additional device, direct wireless communications between the at least two electronic devices not going through the additional device.

Abstract
The disclosure herein is directed toward systems and methods for pairing two or more devices into a wireless network and transferring data between two or more electro-stimulation devices. Specifically, the systems and methods disclosed herein may include pairing two or more devices into a network configuration using, in part, a pairing device to distinctly identify the devices to be paired and to pair the identified devices into a network. Moreover, the systems and methods disclosed herein may include transferring data between two or more devices using, in part, one or more electro-stimulation contacts for electro-stimulation therapy and using, in part, the same one or more electro-stimulation contacts for transferring data between two or more devices.

20. A system comprising:
-
at least two electronic devices configured to wirelessly communicate directly with each other only if grouped into a wireless network, an additional device configured to recognize the at least two electronic devices and group the at least two electronic devices into a wireless network when the at least two electronic devices are brought within a proximity threshold of the additional device, wherein the at least two electronic devices are further configured to wirelessly communicate directly with each other, after they are grouped by the additional device, such that direct wireless communications between the at least two electronic devices do not go through the additional device.
