MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621042671 A) filed by Sage University, Indore, Madhya Pradesh, on April 2, for 'apparatus for detecting tampering of package during transit.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Prashant Jain; Ms. Sakshi Agrawal; Dr. Shivangini Mourya; and Dr. Rajdeep Chakraborty.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for detecting tampering of a package during transit. The apparatus 102 includes a magnetic sensor 104 that monitors a magnetic field of a seal assembly and generates a seal-state signal indicating either an intact or breached state. A hardware processor 106, operatively coupled to the magnetic sensor 104 and a motion sensor 108, receives the seal-state signal alongside a motion signal. The hardware processor 106 determines whether a tamper event has occurred by analyzing temporal correlation between the seal-state signal and the motion signal within a predetermined time window. Upon confirmation of a tamper event, the hardware processor 106 activates a satellite navigation receiver 110 to acquire geographic position coordinates. A wireless transceiver 112 then transmits tamper event data, including an event classification, timestamp, and geographic position coordinates, to a remote receiver, enabling real-time tamper detection and location tracking during package transit."
