MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007820 A) filed by Srm University, Amaravati, Andhra Pradesh, on Jan. 27, for 'system and method for presence based access control.'

Inventor(s) include Raushan Kumar Singh; Sweta Kiran; and Bala Annapurna.

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: "The present disclosure relates to a presence-based, sensor-free access control system (100) that enables and hands-free authorization of controlled resources using passive wireless detection. The system employs an edge computing unit (102) with integrated wireless communication to monitor probe request frames transmitted by personal smart devices (105) within a defined access zone. Device-specific identifiers are extracted by an identifier extraction module (106) and compared against a local authorization database (108) containing user identities and clearance levels. Based on the determined clearance level, a decision engine (110) generates a control command that is issued through a resource control interface (112) to enable or restrict access. A verification module (114) provides secondary authentication for selected users, while an output port (116) actuates the controlled resource. The system (100) operates locally at the edge, ensuring low latency, power consumption, and cloud independence operation."
