Publication number: 20210374891Abstract: Novel techniques are described for protocol tracking and/or enforcement (PT&E) of social distancing protocols in communication networks. For example, PT&E data can be received and aggregated from a large number of user mobile devices via wireless communication networks. The PT&E data can be analyzed against a pre-defined social distancing protocol to detect candidate non-compliance events. The social distancing protocol is stored in association with predefined exclusions to application of the social distancing protocol. The candidate non-compliance events can be analyzed against the predefined exclusions to determine whether the detected events are excluded from consideration as a non-compliant condition.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2020Publication date: December 2, 2021Inventors: Anand Menon, Max Stephen Gratton, Matthew Polson
