MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122094 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 4, 2025, for 'ai-powered multimodal calculator with sketch interpretation and hybrid processing.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. Lydia Jane G; Hareeth Balajie E; and Shashank Kumar Soni.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method (100) for processing multimodal mathematical input. The method (100) receives user sketch input (102) via an HTML5 canvas (5), where the sketch input includes handwritten mathematical expressions and conceptual diagrams. The method (100) captures user-defined variables (106) associated with the sketch input and determines availability (110) of a cloud-based artificial intelligence service. The method (100) processes (112) the sketch input and the user-defined variables using a cloud-based artificial intelligence service when the cloud-based artificial intelligence service is available, and processes (114) the sketch input and the user-defined variables using a local artificial intelligence model (3) when the cloud-based artificial intelligence service is unavailable. The method (100) generates a mathematical solution (116, 118) in a structured format based on the processing and renders the mathematical solution (120) with interactive positioning capabilities on a user interface."
