MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202546084709 A) filed by Voicemonk Inc., Sunnyvale, U.S.A., on Sept. 6, 2025, for 'three-dimensional visual mapping system for instore virtual agent navigation.'
Inventor(s) include Jagadeshwar Nomula; and Vinesh Gudla.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is an improvement of the invention claimed in Indian Patent Application numbered 201644039413 dated 18th November 2016 with priority date 20th November 2015, titled "Systems and Methods for Virtual Agents to Help Customers and Businesses". This patent of addition provides a visual mapping enhancement for the virtual agent system of Indian Patent 312437. An autonomous imaging device captures shelf images inside a retail store; each frame is tagged with three-dimensional coordinates obtained from an indoor positioning engine. A map generation module clusters the coordinate tagged frames into item nodes, creating a persistent 3-D store map. A navigation module, integrated with the virtual agent, receives a user's natural language request for an item, looks up the item node, computes the shortest route from the user's current coordinates, and delivers turn-by-turn guidance, thus enabling accurate instore routing without human intervention."
