MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541084490 A) filed by Dr. Kayalvizhi Maharajan; Dr. Suresh Appasi Kaliyaperumal; Lakshmi Priya Gopalan; and Anjali Jayachandran Nair, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Sept. 5, 2025, for 'a system for vehicle ignition control using rfid and biometric fingerprint authentication.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Kayalvizhi Maharajan; Dr. Suresh Appasi Kaliyaperumal; Lakshmi Priya Gopalan; and Anjali Jayachandran Nair.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention discloses a dual-factor vehicle ignition security system integrating RFID tag verification and biometric fingerprint recognition under a microcontroller. An RFID reader first authenticates a registered 12-digit tag; upon success, a fingerprint sensor acquires and matches the user's fingerprint. Only when both verifications pass does the controller actuate the ignition circuit; in the prototype a DC motor emulates the starter, with relay-based ignition control suitable for production integration. The sequential validation mitigates risks from key duplication and single-layer bypass while remaining scalable for commercial vehicles. Optional enhancements include GSM alerts for failed attempts, GPS tracking for continuous location monitoring, and a mobile interface for remote access and user management, enabling a comprehensive, intelligent automotive access-control platform."
