Abstract

One embodiment provides a method comprising: receiving, at an input device of an information handling device, a selection to display interaction data associated with a target, wherein the interaction data corresponds to interactions between the target and at least one of an individual and an object; determining, using a processor, whether each of the interactions is associated with a direct interaction or an indirect interaction; and generating, based on the determining, an interaction visualization for the interactions. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims (33)

1. A method comprising:

receiving, at an input device of an information handling device, a selection to display interaction data associated with a target, wherein the interaction data corresponds to interactions between the target and at least one of an individual and an object;

receiving, at the information handling device, a designation of an interaction parameter, wherein the designation of the interaction parameter adjusts a defining standard for a direct interaction and an indirect interaction for the interaction data;

determining, using a processor and based on the interaction parameter, whether each of the interactions is associated with a direct interaction or an indirect interaction; and

generating, based on the determining, an interaction visualization for the interactions.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the target is a human or another object.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the target is selected by a user.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interaction data comprises data selected from the group consisting of at least one of interaction proximity data, interaction length data, and interaction location data.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interaction visualization is a graph and wherein the graph comprises a plurality of edges and a plurality of nodes, each of the plurality of edges identifying an interaction and each of the plurality of nodes identifying the individual or the object.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising providing additional information about the interaction associated with an edge of the plurality of edges responsive to receiving selection input on the edge.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the direct interaction is visually distinguished on the graph from the indirect interaction by at least one distinguishing aspect.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interaction parameter comprises a parameter selected from the group consisting of an illness, a duration of interaction, a proximity of interaction, and a location of interaction.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying interaction data associated with another target responsive to receiving another selection to display interaction data associated with the another target.

10. An information handling device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:

receive a selection to display interaction data associated with a target, wherein the interaction data corresponds to interactions between the target and at least one of an individual and an object;

receive a designation of an interaction parameter, wherein the designation of the interaction parameter adjusts a defining standard for a direct interaction and an indirect interaction for the interaction data;

determine, based on the interaction parameter, whether each of the interactions is associated with a direct interaction or an indirect interaction; and

generate, based on the determination, an interaction visualization for the interactions.

11. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the target is a human or another object.

12. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the target is selected by a user.

13. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the interaction data comprises data selected from the group consisting of at least one of interaction proximity data, interaction length data, and interaction location data.

14. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the interaction visualization is a graph and wherein the graph comprises a plurality of edges and a plurality of nodes, each of the plurality of edges identifying an interaction and each of the plurality of nodes identifying the individual or the object.

15. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the direct interaction is visually distinguished on the graph from the indirect interaction.

16. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the interaction parameter comprises a parameter selected from the group consisting of an illness, a duration of interaction, a proximity of interaction, and a location of interaction.

17. The information handling device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to display interaction data associated with another target responsive to receiving another selection to display interaction data associated with the another target.

18. A product, comprising:

a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising:

code that receives a selection to display interaction data associated with a target, wherein the interaction data corresponds to interactions between the target and at least one of an individual and an object;

code that receives a designation of an interaction parameter, wherein the designation of the interaction parameter adjusts a defining standard for a direct interaction and an indirect interaction for the interaction data

code that determines, based on the interaction parameter, whether each of the interactions is associated with a direct interaction or an indirect interaction; and

code that generates, based on the code that determines, an interaction visualization for the interactions.
