MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611007306 A) filed by University Of Ladakh, Leh, Ladakh, on Jan. 24, for 'artificial intelligence (ai) and internet of things (iot)-based bear intrusion detection system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Mehboob Ali; Prof. Vinod Sharma; Dr. Jatinder Manhas; Dr. Rachit Kumar Gupta; Mr. Anwar Hussain; and Ms. Jigmet Yangchan.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to an artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT)-based bear intrusion detection system (100) for real-time monitoring and prevention of human-wildlife conflict. It comprises an image and video capture unit (101) including IP cameras installed at intrusion-prone locations, and a processing unit (102) comprising an edge AI device configured for real-time video analysis. An AI-based detection module identifies bears from captured video frames using trained deep learning models and generates confidence scores, wherein intrusion alerts are triggered when a predefined confidence threshold is met. An IoT-based alert and notification module generates real-time warnings through audible sirens and mobile notifications to forest officials, security personnel, and nearby residents. The system further includes a solar-powered power module with battery backup enabling autonomous off-grid operation. A data logging and analytics module analyzes historical detection data to predict future intrusion events. The invention provides low-latency autonomous detection, reduced false alarms, reliable operation under varying environmental conditions, and improved human safety and wildlife conservation."
