The patent filed by ICU Medical Inc. describes techniques for enabling communication between a clinical environment and a cloud environment. The method involves authenticating a network device in the clinical environment using a token. An authentication proxy in the cloud receives a request from a connectivity adapter in the clinical environment, retrieves a security token from an authentication system in the cloud, and allows the connectivity adapter to send signed requests to the authentication system. The system includes processors and memories that process authentication requests, transmit login information to the authentication system, receive a token, and transmit the token to the network device for sending requests to the authentication system. The method and system ensure secure communication between network devices in different environments.
The patent claims detail the steps involved in authenticating a network device in a network environment, including processing authentication requests, transmitting login information, receiving a token, and enabling the network device to send requests to the authentication system. The claims specify the use of Web Socket connections, secured and authenticated network connections, and communication over wide area networks. The system configuration includes processors and memories that execute computer-executable instructions to facilitate the authentication process. The non-transitory physical computer storage stores instructions for processing authentication requests, transmitting login information, receiving tokens, and enabling communication between network devices. Overall, the patent and its claims focus on enhancing communication security and efficiency between clinical and cloud environments through authentication mechanisms.
