Blood glucose monitoring system having wireless communication module to which time synchronization method is applied
First Claim
1. A blood sugar meter system with a wireless communication module applying a time synchronization scheme, the blood sugar meter system comprising:
- a blood sugar meter that meters a user'"'"'s blood sugar data, wherein the blood sugar meter synchronizes an internal time of the metered blood sugar data to a network time of a residence area of the user according to network identity and time zone (NITZ) information transmitted from a global system for mobile communication (GSM)/code division multiple access (CDMA) network, and when a local standard time changes depending on a season change, modifies the network time of the user'"'"'s residence area according to the changed time; and
a server connected to the GSM/CDMA network to receive the metered blood sugar data from the blood sugar meter, whereinthe server determines whether the metered blood sugar data is valid or not, by comparing a time for the blood sugar meter to meter a datum of the blood sugar data with a time for transmitting said datum of the metered blood sugar data, and upon determining the blood sugar datum to be invalid, notifies the blood sugar meter of the same.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a blood sugar meter system with a wireless communication module, and more particularly, to a time synchronization method between a blood sugar meter system with a wireless communication module synchronized with a cellular network such as a global system for mobile communication (GSM)/code division multiple access (CDMA) network and the cellular network. The present invention provides a blood sugar meter system with a wireless communication module applying a time synchronization scheme including: a global system for mobile communication (GSM)/code division multiple access (CDMA) network transmitting network identity and time zone (NITZ) information; and a blood sugar meter metering user'"'"'s blood sugar data, wherein the blood sugar meter synchronizes a network time according to the NITZ information with an internal time of the metered data and transmits the metered blood sugar data to a server connected to the GSM/CDMA network.

5. A blood sugar meter system with a wireless communication module applying a time synchronization scheme, the blood sugar meter system comprising:
-
a first blood sugar meter that meters blood sugar data for a user residing in a first time zone, wherein the first blood sugar meter synchronizes an internal time of the metered data to a network time of a residence area of the user according to network identity and time zone (NITZ) information transmitted from a global system for mobile communication (GSM)/code division multiple access (CDMA) network; a second blood sugar meter that meters blood sugar data of a user residing in a second time zone, wherein the second blood sugar meter synchronizes an internal time of the metered data to a network time according to the NITZ information transmitted from the GSM/CDMA network; and a server connected to the GSM/ CDMA network to receive the metered blood sugar data from the first and second blood sugar meters, respectively, wherein, when a local standard time changes depending on seasons, the first and second blood sugar meters modify the network time of the user'"'"'s residence area according to the changed time, and the server determines whether the metered blood sugar data is valid or not, by comparing a time for the first and second blood sugar meters to meter respective first and second blood sugar data with a time for transmitting the respective first and second metered blood sugar data, and when determining the blood sugar data to be invalid, notifies the blood sugar meter of the same. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A blood sugar metering system, comprising:
a server connected to a global system for mobile communication (GSM)/code division multiple access (CDMA) network that transmits network identity and time zone (NITZ) information, the server coupled to the GSM/CDMA network to receive a metered blood sugar datum from a blood sugar meter, the metered blood sugar datum including a blood sugar value and a time associated with acquisition of the blood sugar value, wherein the server determines whether the metered blood sugar datum is valid or not by comparing the time associated with acquisition of the blood sugar datum with a time at which the blood sugar datum is transmitted by the blood sugar meter via the GSM/CDMA network, and if the blood sugar data is determined to be invalid, notifies the blood sugar meter of the same.
