MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641047001 A) filed by Agni College Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 13, for 'a system and method for identity-aware monitoring and dynamic sensor activation using wi-fi sensing.'
Inventor(s) include Veni G; Ragavi P; Samuel KC; and Tarun M.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Traditional Wi-Fi sensing for home monitoring, while privacy-preserving, lacks critical context and scalability. These systems can detect motion but typically cannot differentiate between known occupants and unknown intruders, treating all motion as a generic "person" alert. Furthermore, scaling these systems to multiple rooms using conventional "always on" sensors results in significant power waste and signal interference. This research presents a system for an intelligent, identity-aware monitoring network. First, the system implements biometric gait recognition by capturing the unique Wi-Fi "gait fingerprint" of each occupant during a "Learning Mode". This allows the system to provide context-aware alerts. Second, the invention establishes a "Dynamic Sensing Handoff" architecture. In this mesh solution, sensor nodes communicate with each other to predict user movement. This prediction is used to "wake up" adjacent nodes and pass tracking responsibility, moving away from a power-intensive "always on" model."
