Patent number: 10003545Abstract: A method for activating a physician-prescribable feature of an application program executed on a mobile device is disclosed. The method includes receiving, by the application program, an activation code to activate a feature of the application program and one or more parameters associated with a prescription. The method includes transmitting, by the application program, the activation code to a server and receiving an authorization code from the server, where the authorization code indicates a validity of the activation code. The method includes activating, by the application program, the feature using the activation code, the activation being performed in response to the activation code being valid; configuring, by the application program, the activated feature using at least one of the one or more parameters associated with the prescription; and generating, using the activated feature, data based on the one or more parameters associated with the prescription.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2014Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Birtwhistle, Eric S.

Patent number: 9521062Abstract: A protocol-independent tool for debugging and testing communication interfaces of devices and systems is disclosed. The tool is configured to receive protocol plug-ins corresponding to different communication protocols. Given a plug-in, the tool instantiates the plug-in's implementation of tool-defined stack interface. Through this interface and its implementation by the plug-in, the tool can communicate with a device being tested. The protocol plug-in receives commands from a command interface for the device being tested, generates data packets in accordance with the communication protocol implemented by the plug-in, and transmits the data packets to the device being tested.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2011Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Don R. Anderson, Jr., David B. Markisohn, Robert E. Reinke

Patent number: 8895315Abstract: Persons with diabetes often carry a handheld glucose meter as well as a portable computing device, such as a mobile phone. Given the close proximity of these two devices, the portable computing device can serve as a data collector for the glucose measures taken by the glucose meter. Improved techniques are set forth for transferring glucose measures automatically and seamlessly to the patient's portable computing device, including displaying a value for the glucose measure along with an identifier for the portable computing device on a display of the glucose meter during the data exchange with the portable computing device.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2013Date of Patent: November 25, 2014Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Carol J. Batman, Stacia Davis, David B. Markisohn, Erin K. McKinney, Mark G. Mears, Amy S. Stanley, Benjamin E. Strickrod
