This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/407,695 filed Apr. 4, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,587,287, entitled “Method and System for Transferring Analyte Test Data”, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
ATI 13 comprises a data communication device 27 which is disposed within interior cavity 25 of housing 19 and which is accessible through a slot 29 formed into the top of housing 19. Data communication device 27 is a current source sensing device which is capable of transmitting and receiving serial data. In the present embodiment, data communication device 27 is in the form of a conventional multi-purpose test port which includes a slot shaped to fittingly receive and electrically connect with, inter alia, a test strip, a calibration strip, or the interface connector of a hardwire communication link. Data communication device 27 comprises six metal contact strips, which are identified as contact strips Cont1 through Cont6 in FIG. 2.
Processing circuit 41 is an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) which enables a test strip to be inserted into direct electrical connection with data communication device 27 to communicate with microprocessor 43. For example, processing circuit 41 enables microprocessor 43 to send signals to data communication device 27 to determine the identity of a strip which is disposed into electrical connection therewith (i.e., to determine whether the strip is a calibration strip, a test strip, or the strip-like interface connector for a communication link). Microprocessor 43 may determine the identity of a strip disposed into electrical connection with data communication device 27 by measuring the impedance of said strip or by detecting the location of the electrical contacts on said strip.
A pair of device circuits 51 are also connected to processing circuit 41.
Device circuits 51 can comprise analog, digital, or mixed-signal circuits, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and passive and active electrical components. Device circuits 51 can perform various electrical functions required by ATI 13. Specifically, device circuits 51 carry instructions from microprocessor 43 to various functional components of ATI 13 so that these components can perform their intended functions. As one example, device circuits 51 may serve to drive the clock functions for microprocessor 43.
Data management device (DMD) 15 is represented herein as being in the form of a wirelessly enabled, laptop computer. As such, DMD 15 is capable of serial data transfer with another device (e.g., adaptor 17) through a wireless communication channel. Preferably, DMD 15 is provided with comprehensive data analysis software (e.g., the PRECISION LINK software manufactured and sold by Abbott Laboratories, MediSense Products of Bedford, Mass.) which allows for analyte test data stored on an analyte testing device (e.g., ATI 13) to be downloaded, managed, and analyzed (e.g., charted) by DMD 15, thereby providing the patient with sophisticated analyte test data monitoring and tracking capabilities, which is highly desirable.
In the present embodiment, the portion of data communication device 61 which extends out from housing 57 is in the form of a rectangular strip 63 having the same approximate width and thickness as a test strip used in conjunction with data communication device 27. Six metal contact strips, which are identified as contact strips Cont1 through Cont6 in FIGS. 2 and 6( a)-(c), are deposited along substantially the entire length of strip 63 in a spaced apart, parallel relationship. As such, when strip 63 of data communication device 61 is inserted into the test port configuration of data communication device 27, each of the contact strips, or leads, on data communication device 61 is disposed in direct conductive contact with an associated contact strip within the test port. In this manner, with data communication device 61 properly inserted into the test port slot for data communication device 27, communication channel 53 is established between ATI 13 and adaptor 17 through which serial data is capable of being transferred.
As can be appreciated, the ability to removably connect adaptor 17 to
ATI 13 provides the user with a number of significant advantages. As a first advantage, when the user only desires to store data onto ATI 13 and is not interested in wirelessly transmitting said data to DMD 15, adaptor 17 can be separated from ATI 13, thereby reducing the overall size and weight of the unit, which is highly desirable. As a second advantage, the particular construction of data communication device 61 enables adaptor 17 to be used in conjunction with many types of pre-existing types of analyte test instruments. As a result, a patient who owns a pre-existing ATI which is compatible with adaptor 17 can wirelessly transmit data stored on said pre-existing ATI to a data management device, such as a computer, simply by purchasing adaptor 17, which is highly desirable.
Memory 69 is disposed within interior cavity 59 of housing 57 and is electrically connected to microcontroller 65 through a communication bus 71.
As will be described further below, memory 69 serves two principal functions. As a first function, memory 69 stores the application code software for adaptor 17. As a second function, memory 69 temporarily stores (i.e., buffers) the data retrieved from ATI 13 prior to its transmission to DMD 15. It should be noted that memory 69 preferably includes two separate memory devices, one of said memory devices being responsible for storing the application code software for adaptor 17 and the other of said memory device being responsible for temporarily storing the data retrieved from ATI 13 prior to its transmission to DMD 15.
Wireless transceiver 75 is disposed within interior cavity 59 of housing 57 and is electrically is connected to wireless controller 73 via a transmitter line TxD and a receiver line RxD, electrical signals passing from controller 73 to transceiver 75 traveling via transmitter line TxD and electrical signals passing from transceiver 75 to controller 73 traveling via receiver line RxD. As will be described further in detail below, wireless transceiver 75 serves to transmit electrical signals to DMD 15 and receive electrical signals from DMD 15. Preferably, wireless transceiver 75 is disposed within interior cavity 59 in close proximity to a window 77 formed into the top of housing 57 through which signals are capable of traveling.
It should be noted that wireless transceiver 75 represents any conventional transceiver which is capable of two-way communication with a communication enabled device. As a result, wireless communication channel 55 represents any conventional two-way wireless communication channel (e.g., infrared (IR), such as infrared data (IrDA), or radio frequency (RF), such as Bluetooth®, 802.11, Zigbee®).
An indicator 85 is disposed within interior cavity 59 and is sized and shaped to fittingly project through a corresponding opening formed in the front of housing 57. Indicator 85 is preferably in the form of a green light emitting diode (LED) which is electrically connected to microcontroller 65. As will be described further in detail below, indicator 85 serves as a means for providing the user with a visual indication of the operating state of indicator 85 (e.g., whether indicator 85 is transferring data to DMD 15).
With data communication channel 55 having been established between adaptor 17 and DMD 15, adaptor microcontroller 65 retrieves a first bundle of data from adaptor memory 69 and, in turn, sends said first bundle of data to wireless controller 73, as represented by reference numeral 211. It should be noted that the size of the first data bundle retrieved from adaptor memory 69 is dependent upon the transfer protocol established between adaptor 17 and DMD 15. In step 213, wireless controller 73 converts the first bundle of received data into a format suitable for wireless transmission. The converted first bundle of data is then sent from wireless controller 73 to wireless transceiver 75 through transmission line TxD, said step being represented by reference numeral 215. In step 217, the converted first bundle of data is wirelessly transmitted from wireless transceiver 75 to DMD 15.
However, if additional bundles of data are located in memory 69, adaptor microcontroller 65 retrieves the next sequential bundle of data from adaptor memory 69 and, in turn, forwards said bundle to wireless controller 73, as represented by reference numeral 223. In step 225, wireless controller 73 converts the next sequential bundle of received data into a format suitable for wireless transmission. The converted bundle of data is then sent from wireless controller 73 to wireless transceiver 75 through transmission line TxD, said step being represented by reference numeral 227. In step 229, the converted bundle of data is wirelessly transmitted from wireless transceiver 75 to wireless enabled DMD 15.
As noted above, data communication device 61 of adaptor 17 is preferably in the form of a strip-type connective interface which includes multiple metal contacts and communication device 27 is preferably in the form of a slotted, multi-purpose test port which includes multiple metal contacts. Preferably, the strip-type connective interface of device 61 is sized and shaped to be fittingly inserted into the slot of the multi-purpose test port of device 27 so that the metal contacts of device 61 are disposed in direct electrical contact with the metal contacts within device 27. In this manner, data communication channel 53 is established between ATI 13 and adaptor 17.
The principal distinction between system 311 and system 11 lies in the fact that adaptor 317 releasably interconnects with ATI 313 in a different manner in which adaptor 17 releasably interconnects with ATI 13. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, ATI 313 comprises a data communication device 327 which is in the form of a conventional, female-type, conductive phone jack receptacle and adaptor 317 comprises a data communication device 361 which is in the form of conventional, male-type, conductive phone jack. Preferably, the phone jack receptacle of device 327 is sized and shaped to fittingly and releasably receive the phone jack of device 361, with device 361 being disposed in direct electrical contact with device 327. As such, a serial data communication path can be established between adaptor 317 and ATI 313, which is highly desirable.
