Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and systems for receiving an encoded data packet including one or more error detection bits, one or more close proximity commands, and a communication identifier, decoding the received data packet, performing error detection based on the one or more error detection bits, validating the decoded received data packet, and executing one or more routines associated with the respective one or more close proximity commands when the decoded received data packet is validated.
Claims39
A method, comprising:
- establishing a communication range between a data processing unit and a control unit by placing the control unit within a predetermined distance from the data processing unit;
- receiving an encoded data packet at the data processing unit when the control unit is within the predetermined distance, wherein the received encoded data packet includes one or more error detection bits, one or more close proximity commands, and a communication identifier;
- decoding the received data packet;
- performing error detection based on the one or more error detection bits;
- validating the decoded received data packet;
- and
- executing one or more routines associated with the respective one or more close proximity commands when the decoded received data packet is validated;
- wherein the executed one or more routines includes transmitting analyte related data.

A method, comprising:
- establishing a communication range between a data processing unit and a control unit by placing the control unit within a predetermined distance from the data processing unit;
- receiving an encoded data packet at the data processing unit when the control unit is within the predetermined distance, wherein the received encoded data packet includes a close proximity command and a communication identifier;
- decoding the received data packet;
- validating the decoded received data packet;
- and
- executing one or more routines associated with the respective one or more close proximity commands when the decoded received data packet is validated, wherein the one or more close proximity commands are configured to control the transmission of analyte related data.
3 more elements
An apparatus, comprising:
- a communication interface;
- one or more processors coupled to the communication interface;
- and
- a memory for storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to establish a communication range with a control unit when the control unit is placed within a predetermined distance, receive an encoded data packet when the control unit is within the predetermined distance, wherein the received encoded data packet includes one or more error detection bits, one or more close proximity commands, and a communication identifier over the communication interface, decode the received data packet, perform error detection based on the one or more error detection bits, validate the decoded received data packet, and execute one or more routines associated with the respective one or more close proximity commands when the decoded received data packet is validated, wherein the executed one or more routines includes transmitting analyte related data.
