MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511114969 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Nov. 21, 2025, for 'ai and iot-based smart curtain system using adaptive control for intelligent environmental automation.'
Inventor(s) include Sachin Chawla.
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 is an AI and IoT-based adaptive smart curtain system that integrates multimodal sensors, on-device machine learning inference, motor drive hardware, and optional cloud retraining to provide personalized, predictive control of dual-layer curtains (sheer + blackout). The system combines ambient light, occupancy, and temperature/humidity data with historical user overrides to infer the desired curtain positions. A lightweight edge ML model enables low-latency predictions; automatic actuation is achieved through PWM-driven motors with encoder feedback and safety cut-offs. User overrides are logged to form a closed feedback loop; aggregated, anonymized data can be uploaded for periodic cloud retraining with OTA model updates. The system optimizes both user comfort and energy use by predicting solar gains and coordinating shading to reduce HVAC load. Privacy-preserving processing ensures sensitive data (e.g., any visual inputs) remains on the device. The invention provides a self-learning, energy-aware curtain automation framework suitable for smart homes and commercial spaces."
