Patent number: 9913089Abstract: A method for determining a status of a user of an electronic device. The method includes a computer processor determining information associated with a first user of an electronic device. The method further includes identifying a plurality of electronic devices that are within a range of wireless communications to the electronic device. The method further includes defining an area monitored by the electronic device. The method further includes monitoring a group of the identified plurality of electronic devices that are within the defined area. The method further includes calculating a first safe-threshold value for the electronic device based on information associated with a first user of an electronic device and monitored information from the group of the identified plurality of electronic devices. The method further includes determining a status for the first user based, at least in part, on the calculated first safe-threshold value for the electronic device.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2015Date of Patent: March 6, 2018Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Jiaqing Guo, Zhen Qi, Qi Xi, Xiao Feng Yu, Ya Wen Zhao
