Variable-Interval Biometric Reception for CGMS Glucose Continuity
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMS) face challenges in stable data transmission due to communication interruptions or resets, leading to potential loss of glucose information and inability to provide real-time biometric data to users.
Innovation Solution
A method is implemented where a terminal receives biometric information at varying intervals, adjusting the data transmission cycle to accommodate communication failures or resets by receiving and outputting data at different time intervals, including filling gaps with unreceived data upon resolution of communication issues.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the terminal continuously receives data packets from the sensor transmitter at regular intervals, then real-time glucose monitoring is achieved, but data loss occurs during communication interruptions or resets
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal stores multiple historical glucose data packets in advance. When communication is interrupted or the sensor transmitter is reset, the terminal can retrieve and display previously stored data, ensuring continuous glucose monitoring without data loss during the interruption period.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the data reception interval parameter dynamically. During normal operation, data is received at regular intervals for real-time monitoring. When communication failure is detected, the system adjusts to retrieve data at different intervals, allowing the terminal to obtain available data regardless of communication timing.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the sensor transmitter is reset due to external stimulation or internal configuration, then system reconfiguration is achieved, but data containing glucose information is damaged or lost
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal continuously stores glucose data packets in memory before transmission. When the sensor transmitter is reset and data is damaged or lost, the terminal already has backup data stored, allowing it to retrieve and display the most recent available glucose information without interruption to the monitoring function.
3Ease of operation
If the terminal and sensor transmitter are separated by a distance preventing communication, then user mobility is maintained, but glucose information reception is interrupted
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal stores multiple glucose data packets in advance during periods when communication is available. When the user moves beyond communication range, the terminal continues to display and provide the previously stored glucose data, ensuring uninterrupted glucose monitoring information regardless of distance separation.

AI summary
One embodiment may provide a method of providing biometric information including receiving biometric information at a first time interval; outputting the biometric information; when an event related to data reception occurs, receiving the biometric information at a second time interval different from the first time interval; and outputting the biometric information received at the second time interval.
