MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521128931 A) filed by Symbiosis International, Pune, Maharashtra, on Dec. 18, 2025, for 'a web-based virtual collaboration system with proximity-based communication.'
Inventor(s) include Manya Lamba; Nakul Kushwaha; Ranjeet Bidwe; and Sashikala Mishra.
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: "The present invention relates to a web-based virtual collaboration system (100) enabling natural and interactive communication among users within a virtual space. The system includes a web browser interface (101) for rendering a two-dimensional virtual environment with user avatars, a backend server (102) for managing room creation, user authentication, and secure access token generation, a real-time communication module (103) for synchronizing avatar movement, chat messages, and shared whiteboard events, and a media streaming service (104) for establishing peer-to-peer audio and video streams. Audio-video communication is automatically initiated when user avatars move within a predefined spatial proximity and is automatically terminated when the avatars move apart, thereby optimizing bandwidth usage and computational resources. The invention operates entirely within a standard web browser without requiring specialized hardware or software installations, providing a lightweight, hardware-independent, and efficient virtual collaboration platform suitable for real-time multi-user interaction."
