According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is a hybrid system and method for assistive object recognition ensuring reliability through both offline and online modes. The system's low-cost hardware features an ESP32-CAM module integrated into a 3D-printed spectacle frame to capture a live video feed. The user-side mobile application performs real-time, offline object detection using a locally deployed SSD MobileNet model. This enables essential offline navigation support by providing audio feedback via text-to-speech. For enhanced safety, the system includes a guardian-side mobile application that facilitates remote monitoring. This guardian app displays the user's live location and receives live audio-video streaming. Access is restricted via a secure activation key system, and the user can instantly trigger an emergency alert. The system's use of minimal hardware and open-source integrations makes it accessible, scalable, and privacy-focused."
