Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and devices, for the wireless communication of analyte data are provided. In some embodiments, a method and calibration station for calibrating a continuous analyte sensor system is provided. Methods and testing systems for testing a continuous analyte sensor system is provided. Continuous analyte sensor systems, display devices and peripheral devices configured for wireless communication of analyte, connection, alarm and/or alert data and associated methods are provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for wireless communication with a continuous analyte sensor system, the method comprising:
receiving from a user, on a first display device, an input indicative of a request to pair a second display device to the analyte sensor system;
transmitting, by the first display device, a first signal to the analyte sensory system indicating that the second display device has requested pairing;
receiving, by the first display device, a second signal from the second display device indicating the user has initiated a pairing process between the second display device and the analyte sensor system; and
responsive to receiving the second signal from the second display device, transmitting, by the first display device, a transmitter ID corresponding to the analyte sensor system to the second display device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first display device comprises a smartphone, and the second display device comprises a smartwatch.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second display device is configured to utilize the transmitter ID to pair with the analyte sensor system.

4. A first display device, comprising:
an input interface configured to receive from a user an input indicative of a request to pair a second display device to an analyte sensor system;
a transceiver radio configured to transmit a first signal to the analyte sensory system indicating that the second display device has requested pairing;
one or more processors configured to:
receive a second signal from the second display device indicating the user has initiated a pairing process between the second display device and the analyte sensor system; and
responsive to receiving the second signal from the second display device, cause the transceiver radio to transmit a transmitter ID corresponding to the analyte sensor system to the second display device.

5. A method for wireless communication with a continuous analyte sensor system, the method comprising:
receiving, by a second display device, one or more advertisement messages from the analyte sensor system transmitted responsive to a user selection on a first display device to pair the second display device with the analyte sensor system;
displaying, by the second display device, a notification of a pairing process responsive to receiving the one or more advertisement messages;
responsive to receiving an input for initiating the pairing process from the user, transmitting, by the second display device, a signal indicating the input has been received from the user to the first display device;
receiving, by the second display device, a transmitter ID corresponding to the analyte sensor system from the first display device; and
establishing, by the second display device, a secure connection with the analyte sensor system utilizing the transmitter ID corresponding to the analyte sensor system.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first display device comprises a smartphone, and the second display device comprises a smartwatch.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second display device is configured to utilize the transmitter ID to pair with the analyte sensor system.

8. A display device, comprising:
a transceiver radio configured to receive one or more advertisement messages from an analyte sensor system transmitted responsive to a selection by a user on another display device to pair the display device with the analyte sensor system;
a display configured to display a notification of a pairing process responsive to the transceiver radio receiving the one or more advertisement messages;
one or more processors configured to:
responsive to receiving an input for initiating the pairing process from the user, cause the transceiver radio to transmit a signal indicating the input has been received from the user to the other display device;
receive a transmitter ID corresponding to the analyte sensor system from the first display device; and
establish a secure connection with the analyte sensor system utilizing the transmitter ID corresponding to the analyte sensor system.
