MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611024045 A) filed by Chandigarh University, Mohali, Punjab, on Feb. 28, for 'iot-based predictive and energy-optimized vehicle window defogging system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Shalini Sharma; and Prof. Dr. Rajan Sharma.
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 present invention discloses an IoT-enabled adaptive vehicle window defogging system is disclosed that automatically and predictively prevents condensation on vehicle glass surfaces. The system employs interior and exterior temperature and humidity sensors in combination with at least one glass surface temperature sensor 101, 102, 103 to continuously calculate the dew point. An intelligent IoT control module compares the calculated dew point with the measured glass temperature and proactively regulates vehicle HVAC components 105 and electrical heating elements 104 to maintain the glass temperature above the dew point. The system dynamically adapts its operation to varying weather conditions, including cold, wet, hot, and humid environments, while minimizing energy consumption through optimized control. By eliminating the need for manual activation and ensuring comprehensive defogging of vehicle windows, the invention enhances driver visibility, safety, and energy efficiency, particularly in electric and hybrid vehicles."
