MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641024904 A) filed by R. M. K. Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on March 3, for 'inno-agri: empowering farmers with multilingual ai chatbot, forum, soil sensing for sustainable agriculture.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. A. Merline; Harish Raj R; Maclin Toni I; Jasim Anwar J S; and Parvathi Priya A.
The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses Inno-Agri, an Artificial Intelligence-driven smart agriculture decision support system integrating distributed ESP32-based environmental sensing, low-latency ESP-NOW communication, and cloud-based multimodal AI advisory services. Soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and pH parameters are collected through distributed nodes and aggregated at a gateway for cloud inference. A pre-trained generative AI engine provides multilingual conversational guidance and vision-based plant disease diagnosis without custom dataset training. The system achieves millisecond-level sensing latency and sub-second end-to-end advisory response. By combining peer-to-peer sensing with contextual AI reasoning, the invention transforms passive IoT monitoring systems into active, real-time agricultural decision platforms. The system is scalable, infrastructure-independent, energy-efficient, and suitable for rural and resource-constrained farming environments, thereby promoting sustainable agriculture and intelligent crop management."
