BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the
present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or
relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly
referenced is prior art.
[0003] Contagious diseases caused due to micro organisms like bacteria, virus, fungi, and the
likes is avoided by either killing or by breaking chain of the microorganisms. Breaking chain of
such infectious microorganisms prevents transmission of the contagious diseases. Some of the
contagious diseases lacks vaccine for their treatment. Social distancing is an effective solution to
reduce the transmission of infectious microorganisms and reduce spread of the contagious
diseases till a vaccine is developed for those contagious disease like pandemic COVID-19 and
other prevailing similar diseases which lacks them. While concerned organization shave issued
guidelines to enable social distancing at workplaces, home, and all other places where public
strength is seen. However, implementation of these guidelines is bit challenging.
[0004] Existing solutions can have limitations and are not practical for our environment. For
example, infrared based solution is unidirectional and unable to differentiate between a human
and an object. Other app-based solutions require a smart phone with Bluetooth and location
settings which can drain the battery faster and won’t work in manufacturing units, corporates and
educational institutes where smart phones are restricted.
[0005] Preventive measures should be taken to help and protect employees so that they can
be safe and protected at their workplace. However, most employees have to interact
3
collaboratively with one another at some point in their day, and it can be difficult to practices
social distancing.
[0006] There is a need to overcome above mentioned problems in prior art by bringing
solution, that aids in maintaining social distancing and alert the employees in case of emergency.
The solution facilitates in following proper safety standards to avoid transmission of infectious
microorganisms.

14
[0067] In an illustrative embodiment, the UUID is a 128-bit (16 bytes) number guaranteed to
be globally unique. The UUID Scan be used in many protocols and applications other than
Bluetooth, and the UUID’s format, usage, and generation is specified in ITU-T Rec. X.667,
alternatively known as ISO/IEC 9834-8:2005 in BLE, where each second device 106 and the
device 104 can be a client, a server, or both, irrespective of whether the second device 106 and
the device 104 is a master or slave. A client can be configured to requests data packets from a
server 114, and a server 114 can be configured to transmit the data packets to the clients. In
another illustrative embodiment, the client can include any or a combination of the second
devices 106, device 104, and a computing unit 112. The data packets can pertain to information
of the UUID. The UUID or the UUID protocol can be strict when it comes to sequencing, where
the sequencing can be defined such that when a request from the client or the server is still
pending (no response for it has been yet received) no further requests from the client or the
server can be sent until the response is received and processed, can be appliedto both directions
independently in the case where the second devices 106and the device 104 are acting both as a
client and server. Each server can contain dataset organized in form of attributes, where each of
the attributes can be assigned a 16-bit attribute handle, a UUID, a set of permissions, and finally,
and a value. The attribute handle can be an identifier configured to access an attribute value. The
UUID can specify type and nature of the data set contained in the value.
[0068] In an illustrative embodiment, the second devices 106 and the device 104 can be
configured to connect and disconnect with the BLE’s associated with the second device 106 and
the device 104.The UUID of both the client and the server can be stored inside flash memory
inESP32-WROOM chip itself (so that it never gets over-written by application code). The chip
can include an in-built BLE hardware. ESP 32 SDK can be configured to create a partition table
in flash and reserve space for non-application data. The UUID can be collected from the second
devices 106, and the device 104 at-a-time because of the connect and disconnect feature. The
second devices 106, and the device 104can be configured to copy and save the UUID’s and then
instantly disconnect with each other after copying and saving the UUID, making room for the
chip to connect to other devices which were not connected. In another illustrative embodiment,
UUID’s of more than 21 devices in one to two seconds can be collected. The dataset can be
fetched from the far page of the flash memory with help of an interrupt every-time collected
dataset is dumped onto a buffer that can be updated onto a database 210 (can be SQL or No SQL
15
based), can us ea NOSQL based DB called Dynamo DB inside the AWS server 114(during cloud
update).
[0069] In an embodiment, the processing unit 206 can include one or more processors
coupled with a memory. The processing unit 206 can be configured to extract a third set of
signals from the first set of signals, where the first set of signals can be received from the set of
sensors 202. The processing unit 206 can be configured to further extract a fourth set of signals
from the second set of signals, where the second set of signals can be received from the
communication module 208. The third set of signals can pertain to temperature parameters, and
the fourth set of signals can pertain to distance parameters and extracted unique code. In another
embodiment, the processing unit 206 can be configured to compare the temperature parameters,
and the distance parameters with a dataset, where the dataset can include predetermined limit
ranges and generate a set of alert signals, when at least one of the temperature parameters, and
distance parameters are beyond the predetermined limit ranges. In yet another embodiment, the
processing unit 206 can be configured to identify the second entities 106 based on the extracted
unique codes, and where the unique codes pertain to identity of the second entities 106.
[0070] In an illustrative embodiment, the processing unit 206 can be configured to receive
the first set of signals in electrical form from the set of sensors 202, and the second set of signals
in electrical form from the communication module 208. In another illustrative embodiment, the

wherein the processing unit is configured to:
extract a third set of signals and from the first set of signals, and a fourth
set of signals from the second set of signals, wherein the third set of signals
pertain to temperature parameters, and the fourth set of signals pertain to distance
parameters and the extracted unique code;
compare the temperature parameters, and the distance parameters with a
dataset, wherein the dataset comprises predetermined limit ranges; and
generate a set of alert signals, when at least one of the temperature
parameters, and distance parameters are beyond the predetermined limit ranges;
and
wherein the processing unit is configured to identify the one or more second entities
based on the extracted unique codes, and wherein the unique codes pertain to identity
of the one or more second entities.
