Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an input device of an information handling device, a selection to access interaction data associated with a target, wherein the interaction data corresponds to interactions between the target and at least one entity; 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 from the interaction data is associated with a direct interaction or an indirect interaction; and performing, based on the determining, at least one action. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims (35)

1. A method comprising:

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

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 from the interaction data is associated with a direct interaction or an indirect interaction; and

performing, based on the determining, at least one action.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one entity is associated with an individual and wherein the determining comprises determining that the interaction data for the individual is associated with the direct interaction.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the performing the at least one action comprises providing an alert to at least the individual.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the alert comprises a notification informing the individual about the direct interaction with the target.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the providing the alert to at least the individual comprises providing the alert to at least one other entity.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one entity is associated with an object and wherein the determining comprises determining that the interaction data for the object is associated with the direct interaction.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the performing the at least one action comprises providing an alert to a responsible authority.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the alert comprises a notification informing the responsible authority about the direct interaction with the target.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the alert comprises a suggestion to remove or clean the object.

10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the responsible authority is at least one: a healthcare worker or law enforcement personnel.

11. An information handling device, comprising:

a processor;

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

receive a selection to access interaction data associated with a target, wherein the interaction data corresponds to interactions between the target and at least entity;

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 from the interaction data is associated with a direct interaction or an indirect interaction; and

perform, based on the determination, at least one action.

12. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one entity is associated with an individual and wherein the instructions executable by the processor to determine comprise instructions executable by the processor to determine that the interaction data for the individual is associated with the direct interaction.

13. The information handling device of claim 12 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to perform the at least one action comprise instructions executable by the processor to provide an alert to at least the individual.

14. The information handling device of claim 13 , wherein the alert comprises a notification informing the individual about the direct interaction with the target.

15. The information handling device of claim 13 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to provide the alert comprise instructions executable by the processor to provide the alert to at least one other entity.

16. The information handling device of claim 11 , wherein the at least one entity is associated with an object and wherein the instructions executable by the processor to determine comprise instructions executable by the processor to determine that the interaction data for the object is associated with the direct interaction.

17. The information handling device of claim 16 , wherein the instructions executable by the processor to perform the at least one action comprise instructions executable by the processor to provide an alert to a responsible authority.

18. The information handling device of claim 17 , wherein the alert comprises a notification informing the responsible authority about the direct interaction with the target.

19. The information handling device of claim 17 , wherein the alert comprises a suggestion to remove or clean the object.

20. A product, comprising:

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

code that receives a selection to access interaction data associated with a target, wherein the interaction data corresponds to interactions between the target and at least one entity;

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 from the interaction data is associated with a direct interaction or an indirect interaction; and

code that performs, based on the determining, at least one action.
