Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A system for performing contact tracing based on acoustic communications, comprising:
a first stand-alone emitter device that broadcasts acoustic tokens in an acoustic volume via an audio communication channel;
one or more processor devices which are not a part of the emitter device, configured to:
obtain, over a network, information associated with one or more acoustic tokens from a first user device of a first user, the one or more acoustic tokens being associated with the emitter device,

obtain information associated with one or more acoustic tokens from a second user device of a second user, the one or more acoustic tokens being associated with the emitter device, and
determine whether the second user was exposed to a disease associated with the first user in the acoustic volume based on analyzing the information associated with the one or more acoustic tokens from the first user device in view of the information associated with the one or more acoustic tokens from the second user device;

wherein the emitter device is part of an administrative domain and broadcasts one or more acoustic tokens that each comprise a unique emitter device identification element associated with the emitter device; and
wherein the system provides output information based on the determining of whether the second user was exposed to the disease associated with the first user in the acoustic volume.
