The application for the patent was published on June 26, 2026, under issue no. 26/2026.
Abstract: Abstract An intelligent predictive smart blind stick system provides safe, independent, and context-aware mobility for visually impaired individuals. The system features a lightweight, foldable cane chassis equipped with an integrated multi-sensor array containing ultrasonic, infrared, pothole, water-immersion, and motion sensors that actively map ground-level, lateral, and overhead zones. An internal microcontroller runs predictive hazard analysis logic to calculate the distance, velocity, and direction of nearby objects, prioritizing dynamic threats like oncoming vehicles over static hazards. The system features a low-cognitive feedback interface that delivers prioritized haptic vibrations and voice guidance adapted to localized settings. Additionally, an integrated IoT module utilizes an inertial measurement unit to provide automatic fall detection, instantly broadcasting live GPS coordinates and automated SOS alerts to remote guardians via a connected mobile application.
