MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541117167 A) filed by The Principal, Mepco Schlenk Engineering College, Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu, on Nov. 26, 2025, for 'iot-enabled vehicle anti-theft and tracking system using wideband circular fractal antenna and multi.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. G. Indumathi; and Dr. V. Karthikeyan.

The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This invention introduces an loT-enabled vehicle anti-theft and tracking system designed to provide smart, real-time protection against unauthorized access or theft. The system combines multiple sensors-such as motion, door, fuel level, temperature, humidity, and light sensors-to continuously monitor the vehicle's condition. All sensors are connected through a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, allowing smooth data sharing and efficient communication. A face recognition module verifies the identity of the driver, while an immobilizer automatically restricts engine operation if any unauthorized access is detected. The system uses Wi-Fi, GSM, and GPS modules supported by a wideband circular fractal antenna that operates in the 2-10 GHz range to ensure strong, reliable, and high-speed communication between the vehicle and the cloud server. The cloud backend receives and analyzes real-time sensor and GPS data to detect unusual activities. When a suspicious event occurs, it instantly alerts the owner through a connected mobile app and can remotely activate the alarm or disable the vehicle. Secure two-way communication between the vehicle and the cloud is maintained using loT protocols such as MQTT or HTTPS. This enables continuous monitoring, location tracking, and control, even from a remote distance. The system's design makes it adaptable to different vehicle types, offering a smart, cost-effective, and reliable solution for theft prevention, quick recovery, and enhanced vehicle safety using advanced loT and antenna technologies."
