MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025500 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on March 4, for 'a blockchain-integrated real-time civic anomaly detection and validation system and method.'

Inventor(s) include Santhosh Kumar S V N; and Vinut Naruni.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure proposes a blockchain-based system (100) that is configured for real-time detection, classification, geospatial tagging, decentralized media storage, and immutable validation of civic infrastructure anomalies through distributed ledger-based transaction recording. The blockchain-based system (100) comprises a computing device (102) having a processor (104) and a memory (106) for storing one or more machine-readable instructions executable by the processor (104). In addition, the processor (104) is configured to implement plurality of functional modules (108) for autonomous real-time civic anomaly detection and blockchain-based validation. The plurality of functional modules (108) comprises a data acquisition module (110), a detection module (112), a generation module (114), a storage module (116), a processing module (118), and a validation module (120). The proposed system (100) achieves comprehensive auditability by recording user and system events, including login, registration, update, and deletion actions, as immutable transactions on a blockchain network."
