Analyte-measurement system recording user menu choices
First Claim
1. An analyte measurement system comprising:
- a) a biosensor that receives a fluid sample and provides analyte data corresponding to an analyte level of the fluid sample, and;
b) a test meter that receives the biosensor, the test meter comprising;
i) a user interface that provides a menu of functions to a user and successively receives a plurality of menu choices, the menu of functions initially comprising a limited menu of one or more analyte measurement functions and the user interface including a plurality of labels on a display screen of the test meter corresponding to off-screen switches or soft keys of the user interface, wherein at least one label for a soft key is not visible to the user to provide for at least one unlabeled soft key;
ii) a storage device holding data defining a first action criterion, the first action criterion based on the state of the test meter or the analyte data, wherein the state of the test meter relates to at least one of the connectivity and functionality of the test meter; and
iii) a processor operatively connected to the user interface, the biosensor, and the storage device wherein the processor automatically records the received menu choices and the analyte data, and compares the menu choices and the analyte data to the first action criterion, so that when the stored menu choices and the analyte data satisfy the first action criterion, the processor automatically adds a first additional function to the menu of functions and displays a graphical label for the first additional function to the previously unlabeled soft key, the first additional function being a first additional analyte measurement function and comprising one of an analyte measurement graphing function or an analyte measurement alerting function, wherein each of the remaining plurality of labels on the display screen remain unchanged in terms of their prior correspondence to the corresponding off-screen switches or soft keys when the first action criterion is satisfied and the graphical label is displayed for the first additional function to the previously unlabeled softkey.

Abstract
An analyte measurement system includes a processor connected to a biosensor providing analyte data corresponding to an analyte level of a fluid sample. A user interface provides a menu of functions to a user and successively receives a plurality of menu choices, which the processor records. A storage device holds data defining a first action criterion. The processor compares the menu choices to the first action criterion. When the stored menu choices satisfy the first action criterion, the processor can automatically add a first additional function to the menu of functions, or can automatically presents a reward token via the user interface. The system can also include a housing holding the user interface, the storage device, and the processor. Methods are also disclosed.
