Surely it logs all interactions, not just 15 minutes or more.

A person coughing and wheezing is is going to be punched in the face long before 15 minutes even if they hang around someone from 3 meters away.
My understanding is that your phone can detect the power level of the BT signal and it also gathers the phone make and model and uses that info to work out the proximity.
