MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611092145 A) filed by Tulas Institute on July 29, 2026, for An Intelligent Device For Tracking Waste Segregation In Urban Localities.
Inventors include Gaurav; and Dr. Raghav Garg.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: An intelligent device tracks source-level waste segregation in urban localities by associating a disposal event with a protected source identity and evaluating deposited material through coordinated sensor measurements. Local processing fuses material observations, applies locality-specific segregation rules, determines confidence, and excludes collection, maintenance, tamper, or sensor-fault conditions from automatic compliance scoring. Signed event records are securely retained during communication outages and later synchronized with a municipal platform. The device supports immediate user guidance, configurable waste categories, privacy- preserving accountability, targeted inspection, and equipment-health monitoring.
