MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122977 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'anomaly detection system for civic energy consumption monitoring.'
Inventor(s) include Kavya Jain; Parvathi P Pillai; and Dr. Deepika Rani Sona.
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 method (100) for anomaly detection in civic energy consumption monitoring. The method (100) acquires civic energy consumption data in step (102) from smart meters and IoT sensors deployed across residential, commercial, and public facilities, preprocesses the data in step (104), trains multiple anomaly detection models in parallel in step (112) where each model uses a different algorithmic approach, applies an ensemble voting mechanism in step (116) that combines predictions using a threshold mechanism requiring consensus from multiple models to classify data points as anomalous, generates interpretability values in step (120) that quantify feature contributions to anomaly detection decisions, and outputs anomaly predictions with feature contribution explanations in step (122) for civic energy optimization."
