MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541133391 A) filed by Karpagam College Of Engineering; Karpagam Academy Of Higher Education; Dr. V. Rajeswari; Alaguraja K; Aswin R A; Shivaji S B; and P. Mohamed Thaha, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 30, 2025, for 'multimodel biometric system.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. V. Rajeswari; Alaguraja K; Aswin R A; Shivaji S B; and P. Mohamed Thaha.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 9, under issue no. 02/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Face recognition has become one of the most common ways to unlock modern smartphones because it's fast, contactless, and convenient. But despite all the advancements, current systems - even on premium phones like the iPhone - still struggle to tell identical twins apart. Since twins share nearly the same facial features, the face lock often gets confused, which can lead to serious privacy and security risks. This project aims to solve that real-world problem by creating a multimodal biometric system that uses both face and iris recognition. The system first performs normal face recognition for quick access. But if two faces look extremely similar, it automatically switches to an iris-based check. The iris is unique for every individual - even for identical twins - making it the perfect secondary layer of verification. By combining these two biometric methods, the proposed model improves accuracy, reduces false matches, and strengthens overall security. All processing happens safely within the device to protect user privacy. The project demonstrates how this approach can make smartphone authentication not only smarter but also twin-proof, offering a practical and secure solution for the future of mobile biometrics."
