The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: ABSTRACT ACOUSTIC HORN DETECTION AND ADAPTIVE ALERT SYSTEM FOR HEARING-IMPAIRED MOTORCYCLE OPERATORS A method (100) for acoustic horn detection and adaptive alert generation for hearing-impaired motorcycle operators comprises continuously capturing ambient acoustic signals using one or more microphones mounted on a motorcycle or helmet (102), processing the captured signals through an acoustic detection module (104), determining whether a vehicle horn signal is detected (106), performing horn pattern recognition based on acoustic properties when a horn is detected (108), acquiring contextual parameters including motorcycle speed, motion state, and environmental noise (110), determining an urgency level based on context analysis (112), generating multi-modal adaptive alerts comprising visual indicators and handlebar vibration feedback (114), continuously tuning alert intensity and modality to minimize false alerts (116), and resuming continuous monitoring (118).
