SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR A CONTINUOUS MONITORING OF ANALYTE VALUES
First Claim
1. A method for a wireless data communication between an analyte sensor system and a mobile device capable of wirelessly receiving analyte values from the analyte sensor system, the method comprising:
- storing identification information associated with a transceiver of the analyte sensor system, the identification information entered by a user of the mobile device via a custom application running on the mobile device;
causing the custom application to enter a background mode;
searching for advertisement signals;
receiving an advertisement signal from the transceiver;
authenticating the transceiver based on the identification information;
prompting the user to bring the custom application to a foreground mode;
causing the custom application to request a confirmation from the user that a data connection with the transceiver is desired;
receiving the confirmation from the user; and
completing the data connection with the transceiver.

Abstract
Systems and methods for a continuous monitoring of analyte values received from an analyte sensor system are provided. One method for a wireless data communication between an analyte sensor system and a mobile device involves storing identification information associated with a transceiver of the analyte sensor system, the identification information entered by a user of the mobile device via a custom application running on the mobile device; causing the custom application to enter a background mode; searching for advertisement signals; receiving an advertisement signal from the transceiver; authenticating the transceiver based on the identification information; prompting the user to bring the custom application to a foreground mode; causing the custom application to request a confirmation from the user that a data connection with the transceiver is desired; receiving the confirmation from the user; and completing the data connection with the transceiver.

5. A mobile device configured for a wireless data communication with an analyte sensor system, the device comprising:
-
a user interface; a radio unit for transmitting and receiving wireless signals; a memory for storing identification information associated with one or more transceivers and a custom application configured to interact with a user of the mobile device via the user interface; and a processor operatively coupled to the user interface, the radio unit, and the memory and configured to; cause the custom application to enter a background mode, cause the radio unit to search for advertisement signals, perform an authentication procedure with a transceiver of the analyte sensor system based on user-entered identification information associated with the transceiver if an advertisement signal is received from the transceiver, issue a first notification to the user to bring the custom application into a foreground mode, cause the custom application to issue a second notification requesting the user for a confirmation that a data connection with the transceiver is desired, and complete the data connection with the transceiver if the confirmation is received. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for a wireless data communication between an analyte sensor system and a mobile device capable of wirelessly receiving analyte values from the analyte sensor system, the method comprising:
-
transmitting a first series of advertisement signals beginning at a first time; receiving a data connection request from a mobile device at a second time; establishing a data connection with the mobile device; transmitting a connection interval indicative of a difference between the second time and the first time to the mobile device; transmitting an analyte value; terminating the data connection with the mobile device; and causing a transceiver of the analyte sensor system to enter a sleep state. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A method for a wireless data communication between an analyte sensor system and a mobile device capable of wirelessly receiving analyte values from the analyte sensor system, the method comprising:
-
searching for advertisement signals; receiving an advertisement signal from a transceiver of the analyte sensor system; transmitting a data connection request to the transceiver; establishing a data connection with the transceiver if the data connection request is granted; receiving a connection interval indicative of a difference between a first time at which the transceiver started to transmit a series of advertisement signals and a second time at which the transceiver received the data connection request from the mobile device; receiving an analyte value from the transceiver; terminating the data connection with the transceiver, thereby causing the transceiver to enter a sleep mode; entering an inactive mode during which the mobile device does not communicate with the transceiver; calculating an exit time at which the mobile device is to exit the inactive mode based at least partly on the connection interval; exiting the inactive mode at the exit time; and search for advertisement signals after exiting the inactive mode. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
