Devices, systems and methods for locating and interacting with medicament delivery systems
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a medicament delivery device; and
an electronic circuit system including a radio and a power source, the radio configured to electronically communicate with a computing device via a short-range wireless communication protocol, the radio configured to send a first short-range wireless signal characterized by a first communication interval associated with a first power consumption from the power source when the medicament delivery device is in a first configuration, the radio configured to send a second short-range wireless signal characterized by a second communication interval associated with a second power consumption from the power source when the medicament delivery device is in a second configuration, the second communication interval being different from the first communication interval such that the second power consumption is different than the first power consumption.

Abstract
In some embodiments, a method includes producing, from an adapter, a first wireless signal characterized by a first communication mode with a computing device when a portion of at least one of a medicament delivery device or a simulated medicament delivery is disposed within the adapter. An indication is received when the portion of the medicament delivery device or the simulated medicament delivery device is removed from the adapter. A second wireless signal characterized by a second communication mode with the computing device is produced in response to the indication. The second communication mode is different from the first communication mode. The second communication mode can be, for example, a hold mode, a sniff mode or a park mode.
