MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541124509 A) filed by Vishnu Institute Of Technology, Kovvada, Andhra Pradesh, on Dec. 10, 2025, for 'electronic assistance system for paralyzed individuals using eye-blink detection.'
Inventor(s) include B Prudhvi Raj; and K. Kiran.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention provides an electronic assistance system for paralyzed individuals using an infrared-based eye-blink detection mechanism integrated with a microcontroller. The eye-blink sensor detects intentional eyelid closures, which are processed and classified into predefined blink patterns. A single blink controls electrical appliances through a relay module, a double blink triggers an automated emergency alert via a communication interface, and a triple blink activates prerecorded audio messages for essential communication. The system differentiates involuntary blinks from intentional ones using duration and sequence analysis, enabling reliable hands-free operation. The invention offers a low-cost, real-time, and user-friendly assistive solution that enhances independence and safety for individuals with severe motor impairments."
