MUMBAI, India, Jan. 9 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521118205 A) filed by Kinjal Mehta, Maharashtra, on Nov. 27, 2025, for 'secure, non-visual authentication using haptic pulse and arbitrary user verification key.'

Inventor(s) include Kinjal Mehta.

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: "A system and method for multi-factor user authentication is disclosed, utilizing a unique haptic pulse pattern as a non-visual security factor. A security module receives an One-Time Code (OTC), designates a verification subset of digits, and converts this subset into a distinct haptic sequence via a Haptic Encoding Module (103). The module is configured to reside either remotely on an authentication server (101) or locally on the client device (102). A user in physical possession of the mobile device perceives this sequence, translating it into a secret, arbitrary alphanumeric User Verification Key (UVK) via a pre-defined local map (106). The UVK is verified against the map to validate the OTC. This non-visual, localized physical cue ensures the authentication process is immune to screen mirroring, remote viewing, and visual interception attacks."
