MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641058537 A) filed by Agni College Of Technology, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on May 8, for 'design and development of gsm-based braille communication glove for deaf-blind people.'
Inventor(s) include Bilna C; Dhanashree V; Keerthika M; and Srinath P.
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: "Communication plays a vital role in everyday life, yet visually impaired and deaf-blind individuals face significant challenges in accessing modern communication systems. Most existing technologies rely on visual displays or audio output, making them unsuitable for users with both vision and hearing impairments. Although assistive tools such as Braille displays, screen readers, and mobile applications are available, they are often expensive, bulky, and not convenient for daily use. Therefore, there is a need for a simple, portable, and cost-effective solution that enables tactile communication without depending on sound or large external devices. This project presents the design and implementation of a Braille-Based Mobile Communication Glove for Deaf-Blind Individuals, which converts incoming SMS messages into vibration-based Braille patterns. The system uses a GSM module for message reception and an Arduino Nano microcontroller for processing and Braille conversion. Six vibration motors arranged in a Braill."
