MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541127679 A) filed by Noel John Luke Rodrigues, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on Dec. 16, 2025, for 'a system and method for representing tactile information using logical dot progression.'
Inventor(s) include Noel John Luke Rodrigues.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention relates to a tactile information representation system and method employing a rectangular cell comprising 8 tactile dot positions, each corresponding to a binary bit in an 8-bit byte. Characters, including alphabets, numerals, and punctuations, are generated using a logical sequential progression of dot activations, enabling predictable pattern recognition learning and eliminating the arbitrary memorization required in Braille. Capital letters, numbers, and symbols are represented within the same cell by designated dot activations, avoiding multi-cell structures and prefix indicators. The invention aligns directly with digital encoding standards, permitting seamless storage, transmission, and reproduction in ASCII, Unicode, and refreshable tactile displays. The system requires fewer dot activations per character, resulting in enhanced efficiency, reduced tactile fatigue, and faster reading and writing speed. It thereby provides an accessible and technologically compatible tactile communication medium for blind, visually impaired, and deaf-blind individuals, improving over existing Braille-based methods."
