According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A Method and System for Real-Time LPG Level Monitoring with Delivery Malpractice Detection, Safety Alerts, and Automated Refill Booking ABSTRACT 5 Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) was introduced as a domestic cooking fuel initially by BPCL in 1965. LPG was introduced to provide a cleaner, efficient, and portable alternative to traditional solid fuels such as firewood, coal, and kerosene creating a cleaner energy ecosystem. Due to its high calorific value, ease of storage in pressurized cylinders, and comparatively low emissions, LPG gradually gained 10 popularity in homes since it brought smoke-free cooking into reality giving much relief for people involved in cooking and it highly reduced their time spent in kitchens to a greater extent. LPG has become one ofthe most widely used domestic fuels in the world due to rising urbanization and energy demand. The use of LPG in homes has a number of drawbacks and safety issues despite its 15 benefits. Safety risks, inconvenience, and unplanned interruptions of cooking - activities are frequently caused by gas leaks, incorrect cylinder handling, delayed Q) g detection of low gas levels, and uncertainty about the amount of gas remaining in a N cylinder. Furthermore, delayed refills, user reliance on suppliers, and possible malpractice during cylinder replacement may arise from manual gas booking 20 procedures and the incapacity to confirm the true weight of recently delivered cylinders. An intelligent and dependable system that allows for ongomg LPG usage monitoring while improving home safety is becoming more and more necessary. Contemporary consumers demand transparent cylinder weight verification at the 25 time of delivery, early warning systems for gas depletion or leakage, and real-time . visibility of gas availability, and transparent verification of cylinder weight at the time of delivery. In particular, when a new cylinder is delivered and the empty cylinder is returned, users require a mechanism to verify the weight of the newly supplied cylinder against the standard weight indicated on the cylinder itself, 30 thereby erisu(ing that the delivered cylinder contains the correct quantity of gas and preventing malpractice or short supply by the delivery personnel or vendor. Our current invention was created with all of this in mind in order to identify and provide a solution based on user expectations. The present invention addresses these challenges by providing an automated LPG 35 monitoring and management system that continuously measures cylinder weight to determine gas consumption and remaining usage duration. In terms of facilitating automatic gas booking, user notifications, and digital payment alerts, the system additionally integrates gas leak detection, alert mechanisms, and optional internet connectivity. The invention satisfies a significant market need for a clever, user- 40 friendly, and effective domestic LPG management solution by fusing safety, transparency, and automation."
