MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061884 A) filed by Vallurupalli Nageswara Rao Vignana Jyothi Institute Of Engineering And Technology, Hyderabad, Telangana, on May 15, for 'smart device for passive alcohol and human impairment detection in crowded environments.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Kusuma Tummala; Dr. K. Sudha Rani; Aelemasitty Vaishnavi; and Chiluka Rishith Reddy.
The application for the patent was published on May 29, under issue no. 22/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to intelligent public safety monitoring systems and, more particularly, to a wall-mounted sensing apparatus for passive detection of alcohol vapor and human movement. The system comprises a processing unit (550) interfaced with a photo-ionization vapor sensing module (510), an RF motion radar unit (500), an ultra-wideband proximity module (400-480), and environmental sensors (560), all housed within a weather-resistant enclosure (570). Sensor outputs are fused using an embedded workflow (100-190) to compute confidence scores and generate spatial vapor maps. Data is transmitted via a wireless interface (560) to a remote dashboard for alerting. Air intake (540) and regulated power circuitry (580) enable continuous unattended operation. The invention provides contactless identification of alcohol presence correlated with human proximity, enabling real-time monitoring in large shared spaces."
