MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641017343 A) filed by Vallurupalli Nageswara Rao Vignana Jyothi Institute Of Engineering And Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, on Feb. 17, for 'ai-driven multimodal digital safety system for early detection and prevention of harmful intent and emotional distress.'

Inventor(s) include Karnam Akhil; Dr. V. Baby; A. Bhanu Srikar; Saipradam Kanth Dumpeti; G Rithika; and A Shriya.

The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention relates to an artificial intelligence-based behavioral monitoring and alert system designed to detect harmful or unsafe digital activity through multimodal analysis of user interactions. The system monitors inputs from mobile devices and computer applications, including typed text, search queries, keyboard interaction patterns, and voice input, to identify sensitive or distress-related expressions such as suicide-related or depressive terms. Machine learning and natural language processing techniques are used to analyze text and speech data, recognize behavioral patterns, and compute a dynamic risk score reflecting the user's emotional state and interaction trends. When the calculated risk score exceeds a predefined threshold, automated notifications are transmitted to registered guardians or parents through SMS, email, or a monitoring dashboard. The invention incorporates adaptive threshold management and privacy-preserving encryption to protect user data while improving detection accuracy and reducing false alerts, thereby enabling timely intervention for users experiencing emotional distress or engaging with risky digital content."
