MUMBAI, India, Oct. 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621108151 A) filed by Pdpm Indian Institute Of Information Technology, Design And Manufacturing, Jabalpur on September 09, 2026, for Wearable Haptic Communication Device And Method For Bidirectional Tactile Braille Communication.
Inventors include Dr. Dip Prakash Samajdar; Mittal, Mayank; Bansal, Vansh; Mandal, Sandip; Paramar, Mayank; Pandey, Nitin; and Rao, Meghana, Callur.
The application for the patent was published on October 23, 2026, under issue no. 43/2026.
Abstract: A wearable haptic communication device (100) for visually impaired users comprises a forearm module (102) with a battery (104) positioned on an upper forearm region, a buck converter (106), a stabilizing capacitor (108), a microcontroller (110), and a Braille input array (112) with six buttons. A hand module (114) connected to the forearm module (102) comprises a haptic display (116) positioned on a back of the hand with six solenoid actuators (118) controlled via switching elements (120) to generate Braille character patterns. The battery (104), buck converter (106), stabilizing capacitor (108), and microcontroller (110) are positioned on the forearm module (102) to distribute weight away from the hand module (114). The stabilizing capacitor (108) absorbs current spikes during simultaneous solenoid activation. The Braille input array (112) and haptic display (116) provide bidirectional tactile communication.
