MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641026523 A) filed by Sri Sai Ram Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on March 6, for 'flex sensor enabled smart sign language gloves.'
Inventor(s) include Monikha K; Hasanthini R; Umayal K; and Dr. Kayalvizhi K.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The proposed invention introduces a Flex Sensor Enabled Smart Sign Language Glove that enables real-time communication for individuals with hearing and speech impairments. The glove integrates flex sensors to detect finger bending and an MPU6050 accelerometer to measure hand orientation and motion. Sensor data is processed by an ESP32 microcontroller programmed through the Arduino IDE, where predefined logical conditions identify specific gestures without using complex machine learning models. The processed readings are structured in JSON format and transmitted via Wi-Fi using the HTTP protocol to a Flask-based backend server. The backend validates and stores the data in an SQLite database using SQLAlchemy ORM and provides REST API endpoints for both real-time and historical access. A Stream lit dashboard continuously retrieves live data, visualizes acceleration through dynamic charts, and displays recognized gestures with confidence levels. Overall, the system combines embedded sensing. wireless communication, structured data management, and real-time visualization to deliver an affordable, reliable, low-latency, scalable gesture-toco CM in CD CM O5 CD CM O CM text solution for inclusive communication."
