Control system for activating analyte sensor electronics circuitry
A newly filed patent (Publication Number: US20240032826A1) describes a system for controlling the activation of analyte sensor electronics circuitry. The system includes an analyte sensor, a magnetic sensor that triggers a signal upon detecting a change in proximity of a magnet, and analyte sensor electronics circuitry that transitions into an operational mode in response to the signal. Once in the operational mode, the electronics circuitry receives one or more analyte concentration values from the sensor. The detection of the change in proximity is based on a decrease in the magnitude of a magnetic field, with the magnetic sensor transitioning states in response to the movement of the magnet.
Furthermore, the patent details a method for controlling the activation of the analyte sensor electronics circuitry, involving detecting the change in proximity between a magnet and a magnetic sensor, and generating a signal to transition the electronics circuitry into an operational mode. The system is designed to transition from a storage mode to the operational mode upon receiving the signal, with the processor in a low-power mode during storage. The presence of the magnet within the packaging indicates the system's removal from the packaging, triggering the transition to the operational mode. Overall, the patent outlines a sophisticated system and method for efficiently controlling the activation of analyte sensor electronics circuitry based on proximity changes and magnetic field detection.
