According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses an Intelligent Solar-Powered Streetlight System for Women Safety and Emergency Response, designed to provide real-time protection for individuals in public spaces through an autonomous and infrastructure-based approach. The system integrates an ESP32-based microcontroller with a camera module, audio detection unit, GPS module, GSM communication module, microSD storage, and alert mechanisms within a streetlight structure. Unlike conventional safety solutions that depend on personal devices, the proposed system ensures accessibility to anyone in distress by being directly embedded into public infrastructure, enabling continuous monitoring and rapid response. The system operates through multiple emergency activation modes to enhance reliability and usability. A weatherproof manual push-button allows users to instantly trigger an alert. Additionally, a CNN-based audio detection model continuously monitors ambient sound to recognize distress keywords such as "HELP" or "SAVE ME," enabling hands-free activation. Furthermore, a CNN-based camera module analyzes real-time video to detect suspicious or aggressive activities, allowing automatic emergency detection even when the victim is unable to respond. Upon activation, the system immediately initiates a series of emergency actions. A high-decibel buzzer and LED beacon are triggered to alert nearby individuals and deter potential threats. Simultaneously, the camera captures live video while audio is recorded and stored securely on a microSD card for evidentiary purposes. The GPS module acquires real-time location coordinates, which are transmitted via the GSM module as SOS alerts to nearby police authorities and women helpline services, ensuring a rapid and coordinated response. The entire system is powered by a solar panel with battery backup, ensuring uninterrupted and energy-efficient operation even during power outages. Overall, the invention provides a reliable, scalable, and intelligent public safety solution that enhances emergency response and improves security in both urban and rural environments."
