MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049669 A) filed by Anurag University, Hyderabad, Telangana, on April 18, for 'ai-driven iot-based smart electricity monitoring and automated billing system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Purnachary Munigadapa; Dr. Gunda Vishnu Murthy; and Devarashetty Venu Prakash.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an AI-driven IoT-based smart electricity monitoring and automated billing system (100) designed to enable real-time tracking of energy consumption and accurate bill generation without manual intervention. The system comprises electrical sensing modules (102) for measuring voltage and current, an IoT-enabled microcontroller (104) for processing data, and a communication module (106) for transmitting the data to a cloud-based platform(108) . The cloud system performs (108) data storage, consumption analysis (110), and automated billing based on predefined tariff structures. Artificial intelligence techniques (112) are employed to predict future energy usage and detect abnormal consumption patterns, including potential power theft. The system further provides remote monitoring through web or mobile interfaces (116), enhancing user accessibility and transparency. Additionally, the invention is cost-effective and scalable, as it can be integrated with existing electricity meters. Overall, the system (100) improves efficiency, accuracy, and reliability in electricity monitoring and billing applications."
