MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621023514 A) filed by Prof. Mayuri Mangesh Gawade; Hariom Papansinh Thakur; Kartik Dilip Thorat; Prashant Jaywant Thorat; and Om Ashok Vhargal, Pune, Maharashtra, on Feb. 27, for 'wild track ai: real-time animal detection and mobile notification system.'

Inventor(s) include Prof. Mayuri Mangesh Gawade; Hariom Papansinh Thakur; Kartik Dilip Thorat; Prashant Jaywant Thorat; and Om Ashok Vhargal.

The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention, titled "WildTrack AI: Real-Time Animal Detection and Mobile Notification System," relates to an intelligent wildlife monitoring system configured to detect and report animal presence in forest-border and sensitive rural areas. The system comprises an image acquisition module including a high-resolution surveillance camera with night-vision capability for continuous monitoring. An edge processing module, implemented using an embedded computing device with AI acceleration, executes a trained deep learning-based object detection model to identify animal species in real time using predefined confidence threshold filtering. Upon validated detection, a communication module utilizing GSM, Wi-Fi, or LTE connectivity transmits structured detection data to a cloud server. The cloud infrastructure stores detection logs including captured image, timestamp, GPS location, species label, and confidence score, and manages secure user authentication. A mobile application generates instant push notifications to registered users with image preview, mapped location details, and alert severity indication. The invention enables timely preventive action, reduces human-wildlife conflict, and enhances wildlife monitoring efficiency through real-time automated detection, edge computing, and cloud-integrated mobile alert mechanisms."
