MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641043597 A) filed by Sanjay K; Sanjay S; Shanmugavel G; and Sheashangaran G G, Kuniyamuthur, Tamil Nadu, on April 6, for 'a multimodal human-computer interaction system and apparatus for real-time touch-free control using hand gesture and voice recognition.'
Inventor(s) include Sanjay K; Sanjay S; Shanmugavel G; and Sheashangaran G G.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a multimodal human-computer interaction system and apparatus for enabling real-time, touch-free control of computing devices using integrated hand gesture recognition and voice command processing. The system comprises a vision input unit configured to capture hand movements, a voice input unit configured to receive speech commands, and a processing unit configured to simultaneously process visual and audio data. A gesture recognition module detects hand landmarks and classifies gestures based on spatial relationships, while a voice recognition module converts speech signals into executable commands. A control engine maps the recognized gestures and voice commands to system control actions including cursor movement, selection, scrolling, and navigation. The system operates using standard hardware components such as a webcam and a microphone, eliminating the need for specialized sensors. The invention provides improved accessibility, enhanced hygiene through touch-free operation, cost-effective implementation, and real-time performance with reduced latency, thereby offering an efficient alternative to conventional input methods."
