MUMBAI, India, Jan. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541122449 A) filed by Hussana Johar R B; and Atme College Of Engineering, Mysuru, Karnataka, on Dec. 5, 2025, for 'iot based virtual fencer in agriculture system.'
Inventor(s) include Yashaswini S; Hussana Johar R B; Atme College Engineering Mysuru; and Dr. Vinod Kumar P.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 2, under issue no. 01/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The IoT-based Virtual Fencer is a smart agricultural protection system designed to detect animal intrusions and remotely assist farmers in safeguarding their crops. The system integrates vibration or ultrasonic sensors, an Arduino microcontroller, a Raspberry Pi processing unit, and a camera module to identify and capture images of intruding animals when sensor values exceed predefined thresholds. Captured images are uploaded to cloud storage and notifications are sent to the farmer's Android application through Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). Using MQTT-based communication, the farmer can remotely trigger deterrent actions such as sound, light, or gunshot-simulation modules to scare animals away without causing harm. The system minimizes manual intervention, enhances accuracy in intrusion detection, and provides an eco-friendly, cost-efficient solution for improving agricultural productivity and protecting wildlife."
