Human proximity detection techniques for wireless communication devices

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• logic for a human proximity reporting (HPR) device, at least a portion of the logic comprised in circuitry coupled to the memory, the logic to:
• perform a connection establishment procedure to establish a wireless link with a human proximity monitoring (HPM) device;
• generate heart rate information based on sensor data received from a heart rate sensor;
• and
• generate a human proximity report for transmission to the HPM device via the wireless link, the human proximity report to comprise the heart rate information.

At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions that, in response to being executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• perform a connection establishment procedure to establish a wireless link with a human proximity reporting (HPR) device;
• identify heart rate information comprised in a human proximity report received from the HPR device via the wireless link;
• determine an initial HPR state based on the heart rate information;
• and
• select an initial operating mode for a feature of a human proximity monitoring (HPM) device based on the initial HPR state.
