Abstract: A storage device is configured to communicate with a host device over a Bluetooth connection. The storage device includes a flash memory, a processor, and a Bluetooth controller. The memory stores at least one permission for determining access to the memory. The processor manages access to the memory, independently of the host device, based on a comparison of a request at the removable storage device to access the memory to at least one permission. The comparison is independent, requiring no management by an operating system of the host device, such that if the at least one permission includes a particular access type that matches the access requested in the request, the processor provides access to the memory.

Abstract: A mobile phone, including a processor operable to perform wireless communication, a housing for the processor, including front and back surfaces, a first display screen coupled with the processor and mounted on the outer side of the front surface, a second display screen coupled with the processor, separate from the first display screen, and a transparent portion on the outer side of the back surface through which the second display screen shows through to the outside of the housing.

Abstract: A wireless communicator including a housing, wireless communication functionality located within the housing, native user interface functionality cooperating with the wireless communication functionality and including user interface surfaces located on at least one outer facing surface of the housing, and pouching responsive electrical interconnection functionality responsive to pouching orientation of the housing in a pouch of an enhanced function device for automatically causing the wireless communication functionality to adapt to interoperation with parenting user interface functionality forming part of the enhanced function device at least partially instead of with the native user interface functionality. A method is also described and claimed.

Abstract: A method of administering insulin to a user is provided. The method comprises providing a system comprising a glucometer configured to analyze a blood sample, a remote computing device separate from the glucometer, and an insulin pump separate from the remote computing device and glucometer, analyzing, by the glucometer, a blood sample from a user, and communicating the results to the remote computing device, determining, by the remote computing device and based on the results, an insulin dosage to be administered, communicating, by the remote computing device, a command to the insulin pump to administer a dose of insulin based on the determined dosage, and administering, by the insulin pump, the dose.

Abstract: A method of analyzing a blood sample is provided. The method comprises providing a system configured to perform an analysis of a glucose level of the blood sample disposed on a test medium, wherein the test medium is one of a quantity of test media in a user's supply, monitoring, by the system, the number of test media of the supply used in performing the analysis, determining, by the system, that a threshold value of test media has been reached, the threshold value being less than the quantity, and performing, by the system, once the threshold value has been reached, an ordering procedure.

Abstract: A method of analyzing a blood sample is provided. The method comprises providing a glucometer configured to analyze a blood sample and a remote computing device separate from the glucometer, analyzing, by the glucometer, the blood sample, and presenting, by the glucometer, encoded results. The encoded results may be presented as a machine-readable visually-encoded representation of one or more results of the analysis, in which case the method further comprises imaging, by the remote computing device, the representation. The encoded results may be presented as a capacitive profile, in which case the method further comprises reading, by a capacitive sensing input mechanism of the remote computing device, the capacitive profile. According to either option, the method further comprises decoding, by the remote computing device, the representation, thereby retrieving at least one of the results.
