Abstract
The invention relates to a therapy system and a therapy device having at least one data communication interface which can operate in various data transmission modes and cooperates with a data communication control unit. The data communication interface can change from one data transmission mode to another without interruption of an existing data link. The change is controlled by the data communication control unit as a function of predefined selection criteria.
Claims23
An electric therapy system including a therapy device (10) having:
- a. a therapy device data communication interface (14, 16) configured to perform a wireless bidirectional data transmission establishing a data link, and
- b. a therapy device data communication control unit (12) configured to:
- (1) control the therapy device data communication interface (14, 16) such that a data transmission by the therapy device data communication interface (14, 16) takes place in one of at least two different data transmission modes;
- (2) select one of the data transmission modes for use, the selection being based on one or more predefined selection criteria, and
- (3) change from one of the data transmission modes to another upon occurrence of an event corresponding to one of the selection criteria, such that any preexisting data link is not interrupted, and rather is continued in another of the data transmission modes.

An electric therapy system including
- I. a therapy device (10) having:
- A. a therapy device data communication interface (14, 16) configured to perform a wireless bidirectional data transmission establishing a data link, and
- B. a therapy device data communication control unit (12) configured to control the therapy device data communication interface (14, 16),
- II. an external device (20, 30) having:
- A. an external device data communication interface (22, 32, 39) configured to perform a bidirectional wireless data transmission establishing a data link, and
- B. an external device data communication control unit (34) configured to control the external device data communication interface (22, 32, 39),
- wherein:
- a. the data communication control units (12, 34) control the data communication interfaces (14;
- 16;
- 22;
- 32;
- 39) such that a data transmission takes place in one of at least two different data transmission modes, and
- b. at least one of the two data communication control units (12, 34) is configured to
- (1) select one of the data transmission modes for use, the selection being based on:
- i. one or more predefined selection criteria, and
- ii. on occurrence of an event corresponding to one of the selection criteria,
- (2) change from one of the data transmission modes to another such that any preexisting data link is not interrupted, and rather is continued in another of the data transmission modes.
