MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202531097610 A) filed by Narula Institute Of Technology, Kolkata, West Bengal, on Oct. 9, 2025, for 'voice-enabled geospatial mapping system using natural language processing.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Papri Ghosh; Dr. Subhram Das; Dr. Md. Ashifuddin Mondal; and Ms. Debrupa Pal.
The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention proposes a novel geospatial mapping platform driven by voice-enabled interaction. Using integrated speech recognition and NLP techniques, the system allows users to query, visualize, and manipulate geospatial data layers through natural language. Core components include a browser-based frontend with OpenLayers for map rendering, and a Python-Flask backend handling voice command interpretation and WMS data integration. The solution supports commands like "Zoom to Hyderabad" or "Show AWiFS layer," offering seamless map interaction. Testing showed over 93% accuracy across multiple sectors, demonstrating its potential for improving accessibility and decision-making in GIS applications. This system bridges the gap between non-technical users and complex geospatial systems by enabling intuitive, speech-driven interaction."
