Patent ID: 8348830

Claim:
A method for associating data obtained by a data recorder to a designated in-vivo sensing device comprising: providing the designated in-vivo sensing device with an internal identifier code for the designated in-vivo sensing device; receiving a data signal in a form of a plurality of data frames from an in-vivo sensing device, each of said frames comprising an internal identifier code for the in-vivo sensing device; determining for each of said frames if a Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) of the corresponding received data signal exceeds a threshold value; for each of said frames, extracting said internal identifier code for the in-vivo sensing device from said frame if the RSSI exceeds the threshold value; selecting an internal identifier code which is contained in a largest number of frames from the frames having RSSI exceeding the threshold value, being the selected internal identifier code; identifying the designated in-vivo sensing device based on the selected internal identifier code; determining whether the received data signal is received from the designated in-vivo sensing device based on said selected internal identifier code; and if the data signal is received from the designated in-vivo sensing device, storing the data signal in a data recorder.
