MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641049827 A) filed by Sivatharshini S; Dr. G. Elumalai; Priya S; and Thunga Varsha, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 19, for 'low cost iot-enabled system for peak period wave direction prediction.'
Inventor(s) include Sivatharshini S; Dr. G. Elumalai; Priya S; and Thunga Varsha.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Ocean waves significantly influence coastal activities such as fishing, navigation, and marine research. Accurate prediction of wave direction during peak periods is essential for enhancing safety and optimizing maritime operations. However, conventional wave monitoring systems are often costly and demand complex infrastructure. This project introduces a low-cost, IoT-enabled solution for monitoring and predicting peak-period wave directions in coastal regions. The system employs sensors to capture real-time environmental parameters including wave motion, water level, and orientation. These inputs are processed by a microcontroller and transmitted via IoT communication modules to a centralized monitoring platform. The analyzed data enables identification of peak wave periods and directional patterns. By leveraging affordable hardware and wireless connectivity, the proposed system offers a cost-effective approach to real-time wave monitoring. This innovation can support researchers, fishermen, and coastal authorities in understanding wave dynamics, thereby improving planning and marine safety."
