  • Electronic device with message handling functions
    Patent number: 9654945
    Abstract: An electronic device (12) is capable of sending chat-style messages by instant message (IM) messaging and short message service (SMS) messaging. IM messaging is preferred, but a message will be sent by SMS messaging upon user authorization when IM messaging for the electronic device is not available. When IM messaging is not available for a message destination electronic device (14), the user of the electronic device will be notified that the transmission mechanism is SMS messaging and an attempt to wake-up IM messaging in the message destination electronic device will be made.

    Patent number: 9636461
    Abstract: A system for optimizing a patient's basal insulin dosage regimen over time, adapted to determine from blood glucose values whether and by how much to vary a patient's present recommended amount of the insulin-containing drug in order to maintain the patient's future blood glucose level measurements within a predefined range, and wherein a given blood glucose value is disregarded if no patient-actuated operation being indicative of the administration of a dose of an insulin containing drug has been detected in a pre-defined amount of time prior to the determination of the given blood glucose value.

  • A Needle Arrangement
    Publication number: 20170106135
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a needle arrangement for an injection device. The needle arrangement is made up from needle cannula which is mounted such that a distal part having a distal tip extends in a distal direction. Further, a telescopically movable shield carrying a cleaning chamber surrounds at least the tip of the needle cannula between injections such that the tip of the needle cannula is maintained inside the cleaning chamber between subsequent injections. The cleaning chamber is at least distally provided with a pierceable septum through which the needle cannula penetrates during injections. For guiding the needle cannula during injections a telescopically movable tube is provided. During injections the distal end of the telescopically movable tube at least partly penetrates the distal septum.

  • Injection Device having Automatic Needle Retraction
    Publication number: 20170087306
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection device for delivering set doses of a liquid drug to a user. The injection device has a scale drum for displaying the set dose, which scale drum is helically guided in a housing. The scale drum is thus rotational in relation to the housing between a zero position and a set position for displaying the set dose. Further, a needle cannula secured to a hub is mounted in an axially movable manner. The axial movement of the hub is generated by a spring. A blocking mechanism interacting between the scale drum and hub controls the axial movement of the hub such that the needle cannula automatically retracts from the skin of a user in response to the scale drum reaching the zero position.

  • ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR VALIDATION OF A TRUSTED USER
    Publication number: 20170083693
    Abstract: Method for validating a trusted user of an electronic device, which electronic device comprises an input surface, e.g. on a key, dedicated for application of a user finger; a user input data sensor system, including a fingerprint sensor connected to the input surface for detecting user input fingerprint data, and a tremor sensor for detecting user input tremor data; data access to stored user input data corresponding to a trusted user; and a main processor system configured to match detected user input data with stored input data for validation of a trusted user. A triggering algorithm may run in a sub-sensor system, for sensing device handling and comparing sensed device handling with stored data. If the comparison reveals that user input is likely to occur based on the, a command is sent to the main processing system to trigger activation of tremor sensing and matching.

  • Body area network signal discrimination
    Patent number: 9590743
    Abstract: A method, system and devices provide for transmitting, by a first device, a body area network (BAN) session initiation signal indicating an availability to establish an on-body communication with a second device. At least one BAN acknowledgement signal is received by the first device from the second device. The first device determines whether one of the at least one BAN acknowledgement signal is received via conducting across a body. The first device proceeds with BAN session initiation based on determining that one of the at least one BAN acknowledgement signal is received via conducting across a body and terminates BAN session initiation based on not determining that one of the at least one BAN acknowledgement signal is received via conducting across a body.

  • Automatic password handling
    Patent number: 9591682
    Abstract: A user of a cellular telephone also has a peripheral device, such as a wristlet or ring, for example, that is worn on, and contacts, the user's body. When the user depresses a user control, such as a power button or other control on the cellular telephone, a Body Area Network (BAN) communication link is established between the cellular telephone and the peripheral device. The BAN link utilizes the user's body as a transmission medium to carry data between the cellular telephone and the peripheral device. Additionally, a passcode stored at the peripheral device is sent to the cellular telephone over the BAN link. If the passcode is valid, the device will bypass a passcode entry screen and unlock the cellular telephone for the user.

  • An Injection Apparatus
    Publication number: 20160361505
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an injection apparatus in which a cartridge has a distal end sealed by a pierceable flexible septum abutting a pressure element. Further a shielded needle cannula penetrates the distal septum. This pressure element is axially movable whenever the shield is axially moved such that the volume of cartridge decreases. A motion transforming means transforms axial movement of the shield into axial movement of the pressure element via a rotational movement of the motion transforming means.
