MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133118 A) filed by Soumya Jolad, Bangalore, Karnataka, on Dec. 29, 2025, for 'a sensor-free real-time system and method for sign language detection and multi-lingual translation.'

Inventor(s) include Soumya Jolad; Dr. Rajani K C; G. Divya; Hemalatha. P; Bakkiyalakshmi. B; and Hidayath Ulla Shariff.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A real-time assistive communication system is disclosed that enables interpretation of sign language gestures using vision-based processing and automated language conversion. Live visual data captured through a camera is analyzed to identify hand gestures using a trained learning-based detection architecture optimized for real-time execution. The detected gestures are processed over successive frames to derive coherent linguistic expressions. The derived expressions are then converted into one or more spoken languages through an integrated translation mechanism. The system includes an interactive display interface that presents gesture recognition results and translated output simultaneously. The disclosed solution operates on standard computing hardware without the need for wearable devices or specialized sensors, thereby offering an efficient, scalable, and language-adaptive communication aid suitable for public services, education, healthcare, and social interaction environments."
