SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DISPLAY DEVICE AND SENSOR ELECTRONICS UNIT COMMUNICATION
First Claim
1. An analyte monitoring system, comprising:
- an analyte sensor configured to perform measurements indicative of analyte levels;
a sensor electronics unit communicatively coupled to the analyte sensor, the sensor electronics unit configured to;
receive the measurements indicative of analyte levels from the sensor;
operate in a first power mode and a second power mode;
transmit sensor information when in the first power mode using a first communication protocol, andreceive and respond to one or more commands in the second power mode using a second communication protocol; and
a display device configured to;
transmit the one or more commands to the sensor electronics unit in the second power mode using the second communication protocol;
receive communication parameters for establishing and using the first communication protocol from the sensor electronics unit, the communication parameters being transmitted and received in the second power mode using the second communication protocol; and
use the received communication parameters to wirelessly connect to and communicate with the sensor electronics unit with the first communication protocol.

Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for communication among display devices and sensor electronics unit in an analyte monitoring system. The analyte monitoring system may include a sensor that is configured to perform measurements indicative of analyte levels. The sensor may be communicatively coupled to the sensor electronics unit. The sensor electronics unit may be configured to transmit data indicative of analyte levels to the display devices using one or more communication protocols. Furthermore, the sensor electronics unit may be configured to operate in multiple modes, and switch between the modes in response to commands received from the display devices. Related systems, methods, and articles of manufacture are also described.
