Abstract:

Techniques for performing automatic contact tracing using a fleet of mobile electronic devices are provided. By collecting and storing signal data detected by the fleet of devices, the system generates a historical record of timestamped signal data from which interpersonal interactions may be inferred. The system may retrieve information from the stored historical record to determine what users were in contact with a target user during a target time period. The determination may be based on which other devices were proximate to the target device, at what time those other devices were proximate, how close those other devices were, and/or the amount of time for which those devices were proximate. The system may applying one or more algorithms (e.g., a “proximity score” calculation) to the stored record in order quantify and/or characterize a risk for users of devices that were proximate to the target device.

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a device-initiated search where a search device may initiate a proximity-informed search of one or more datastores based on processed proximity information strings, and then updates another datastore with the results learned from the first datastore and/or generates a second search query that may be forwarded to a second datastore. In another embodiment, a proximally-based database search may be initiated by a database when a search device sends proximity information (information strings geolocation information) to a first datastore, which may derive search information from the proximity information received from the search device, and then initiates a query of a second datastore with the derived information. The second datastore returns search results to the search device. In some embodiments, the second datastore may return results to the first datastore, which may then processes the results and then returns the processed results to the search device.
