MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025122 A) filed by Chilakapati Anil Kumar, Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, on March 3, for 'dual-mode passenger navigation algorithms for familiar and unfamiliar users in complex indoor environments.'
Inventor(s) include Chilakapati Anil Kumar; and Prof. Dr Ramesh Srikonda.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A system and method for dual-mode passenger navigation that automatically adapts to user familiarity levels in complex indoor environments. The invention monitors user navigation behavior to determine familiarity classification using metrics including path directness, velocity consistency, and hesitation frequency. For familiar users, a linear navigation algorithm generates direct paths with minimal guidance intervention. For unfamiliar users, an oscillatory navigation algorithm anticipates exploration behavior and provides detailed decision support with frequent reassurance. The system delivers differentiated instructions through multiple channels including mobile applications and digital signage, ensuring appropriate information density matched to user cognitive needs. Implementation in transportation hubs, healthcare facilities, and educational campuses demonstrates significant improvements in navigation efficiency and user satisfaction for both familiar and unfamiliar users compared to conventional unified navigation approaches."
