MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521134251 A) filed by Vikas Kiran Agrawal, Akola, Maharashtra, on Dec. 31, 2025, for 'multi-mode unified smartphone vision system using front-bottom edge camera.'
Inventor(s) include Vikas Kiran Agrawal.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Aspects of present disclosure relate to a smartphone-based safety and intelligence system designed to prevent accidents caused by distracted walking and enhance real-time environmental awareness. The system introduces a front-bottom edge mounted camera oriented to capture a ground-level forward walking path of a user. The camera is automatically activated upon detection of pedestrian movement and provides a real-time transparent or semi-transparent visual overlay on the smartphone display, enabling obstacle detection while allowing continued application usage. The invention further integrates AI for detecting obstacles, generating user alerts, and extracting privacy-safe environmental metadata. Operational modes include visual destination arrival confirmation using hybrid GPS and camera verification, real-time environmental mapping, civic issue detection, and an optional live remote visual guidance mode for assisted navigation. Raw visual data is discarded after processing, retaining only non-personal metadata to preserve privacy. It provides a unified multi-mode system using a single camera hardware configuration without display interruption."
