The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a wearable solar-powered wildlife safety helmet designed to protect humans from potential encounters with wild animals such as leopards and tigers. The helmet comprises: (100) a thin-film solar panel for charging the internal battery; (101) a frontfacing AI camera and (102) rear and side cameras for 360° environmental monitoring; (103) a high-intensity LED torch to disorient approaching animals; (104) a directional sound wave emitter to repel wildlife; (105) a panic button for transmitting GPS-based alerts to emergency contacts; (106) a manual override switch; and (107) an onboard processing module performing real-time animal detection using machine learning. Upon detection of a threat, the module automatically triggers (103) and (104), while (105) can be manually activated to send location and image data. A Wi-Fi module enables cloud connectivity for model updates and analytics. The helmet provides autonomous, non-lethal, off-grid protection, supporting rural and forestadjacent safety applications while promoting wildlife conservation.
