ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONTACT TRACING

Abstract:

A first electronic device includes an interface; microphone circuitry; memory circuitry; and processor circuitry. The first electronic device is configured to discover, via the interface, a first wireless network. The first electronic device is configured to receive, via the interface, from a second electronic device discovering the first wireless network, a voice biometric indicative of a second user. The first electronic device is configured to activate the microphone circuitry to detect an input audio signal. The first electronic device is configured to determine whether the detected input audio signal satisfies one or more criteria. The first electronic device is configured to, when the detected input audio signal satisfies the one or more criteria, determine a parameter indicative of a level of risk of exposure; and generate, based on the parameter, contact data.
