The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Nearly 44,000 children disappear every year in India. From there, many of them spread out into the roads and highways. Because of this, we were motivated to come up with the idea to help them reunite with their children. The government's "Track the Missing Child" database will be integrated with a bespoke database containing photographs of missing children so that when a child is found alone, a report may be filed instantly if the child is in the government's database. The application may be built with a JavaScript framework like React or Vue, which both provide excellent user experiences. Using Capacitors, the programme can be adapted into a mobile app that makes use of the platform's native APis (application programming interfaces), including Camera and Geolocation. If there are children playing outside without adult supervision, the software can take a picture of them and upload it to a server along with metadata like their precise location and the time. The server determines if the user-submitted image is a match using a trained model of the missing children's photos. The face matching may be done with TensorFlow, and if a match is found, the person's information can be retrieved with Firebase and shared with the user and local police. If the match cannot be found, a new temporary record can be established for future referencing."
