MUMBAI, India, Nov. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641127303 A) filed by Saranathan College Of Engineering on October 26, 2026, for Smart Ring System For Monitoring Physiological And Movement Patterns During Structured Team Activities.
Inventors include S. Srimathi; S. Amirthavarshini; S. Celeste Hephzibah; A. Kanimozhi; C. Kethciyal Elizabeth; A. Meena Rojini; and S. Tejasvini Blessy.
The application for the patent was published on November 06, 2026, under issue no. 45/2026.
Abstract: This invention discloses a finger-worn ring for collecting time-stamped physiological and movement signals during structured team activities such as group discussions, presentations and problemsolving exercises. The ring houses an optical pulse sensor positioned against the finger, a motion sensor, a microcontroller with a wireless communication module, and a power source, all within a compact band enclosure. The microcontroller samples the sensors and timestamps the readings, which are transmitted to a companion phone or computer. The companion software checks signal quality, marks and excludes um-eliable segments, divides the readings into time windows, and extracts features such as pulse-rate changes and movement intensity. A participant or facilitator may mark the start and end of an activity and optional events within it, such as a presentation or a group decision, so that the extracted features are aligned to an activity timeline for the participant's review. An optional separately worn badge may contribute synchronised speech-activity features. The system is intended as a research and self-reflection tool and does not itself determine personality traits or leadership ability from sensor readings alone.
