MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133011 A) filed by Karpagam College Of Engineering; Karpagam Academy Of Higher Education; Deepika R; Santhiya T; Pranesh S; and Sanjay Raja B, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 29, 2025, for 'gesturo: smart gesture recognition for a seamless, inclusive interaction for disabled people with technology.'
Inventor(s) include Deepika R; Santhiya T; Pranesh S; and Sanjay Raja B.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The Smart-Glove (vision-based) is an assistive system that enables hands-free, natural interaction between users with paralysis or speech disabilities and smart-home devices using camera-driven gesture recognition. Instead of wearable sensors, the system leverages a camera and real-time computer-vision (Hand landmark estimation and gesture classification) to detect predefined static and dynamic hand gestures. Detected gestures are converted into commands for IoT devices (lights, fans, appliances) and into synthesized speech or text for communication. The architecture combines lightweight on-device inference (or edge processing on a Raspberry Pi / mobile device) with secure message transport (MQTT/HTTP) to integrate with existing smart-home platforms. The solution emphasizes privacy (local processing), personalization (user-specific gesture calibration), and robustness (data augmentation and model fine-tuning), delivering an affordable, non-intrusive assistive interface that enhances autonomy and social interaction for users with limited mobility or speech impairments."
