MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641073793 A) filed by Kalam Institute Of Health Technology Kiht on June 14, 2026, for Handheld Ultrasonic Navigation Apparatus With Adaptive Multi-Mode User Feedback.
Inventor includes Nydhana Sai.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a handheld obstacle detection apparatus (100) for assisting navigation of visually impaired users. The apparatus (100) comprises a handheld housing (102), an ultrasonic obstacle detection module (104), a processing and control unit (106), a distance evaluation module (108), a haptic feedback unit (110), an acoustic feedback unit (112), a visual safety beacon unit (114), a mode selection interface (116), a power supply unit (118), a rechargeable battery module (120), a battery charging module (122), an integrated circuit board assembly (124), a user retention member (126), and a sensor orientation structure (128). The ultrasonic obstacle detection module (104) detects obstacles within a predefined operational zone and provides distance information to the processing and control unit (106). The apparatus (100) selectively generates haptic, acoustic, or combined feedback in response to obstacle proximity and further provides a visibility-enhancement function through the visual safety beacon unit (114). The apparatus enables user-directed spatial scanning, portable operation, and obstacle awareness without physical contact during navigation.
