MUMBAI, India, May 29 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641061598 A) filed by Dayananda Sagar Academy Of Technology And Management; Deepthi V; Sharvani G R; Sindhu K; Syed Ateequr Rehman; Dr. Kalpavi C Y; and Dr T. Vignesh, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on May 14, for 'smart footstep power generation floor with energy monitoring.'
Inventor(s) include Dayananda Sagar Academy Of Technology And Management; Deepthi V; Sharvani G R; Sindhu K; Syed Ateequr Rehman; Dr. Kalpavi C Y; and Dr T. Vignesh.
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 a smart flooring system capable of converting mechanical energy generated from human footsteps into usable electrical energy while simultaneously monitoring and displaying the generated power through an integrated energy monitoring platform. The system incorporates piezoelectric energy harvesting elements embedded beneath floor tiles, a power conditioning circuit, an energy storage unit, and a microcontroller-based monitoring system. When a person walks over the floor surface, the applied pressure produces mechanical deformation in the piezoelectric elements, thereby generating electrical energy. The generated energy is conditioned, stored, and utilized for powering low-power electrical devices such as lighting systems, sensors, and IoT modules. The monitoring unit continuously measures generated voltage, current, and accumulated energy and transmits the information to a display interface or cloud monitoring platform. The invention provides an environmentally sustainable and energy-efficient solution for public areas with high pedestrian movement including railway stations, shopping malls, airports, educational institutions, and smart buildings."
