MUMBAI, India, Feb. 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611000746 A) filed by Ct University, Ludhiana, Punjab, on Jan. 5, for 'smartphone-integrated system and method for leak identification using acoustic, visual, and sensor-assisted analysis.'
Inventor(s) include Dr. Abhilash Thakur; Dr. Shiv Kumar; and Ms. Ramandeep Kaur.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 13, under issue no. 07/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is a smartphone-integrated system and method for detecting and categorizing leaks in water, gas, and fluid-based infrastructure by combining auditory, visual, and sensor-derived analysis. The system uses artificial intelligence models for signal filtering, pattern identification, and leak classification in addition to built-in smartphone features like a microphone, camera, accelerometer, gyroscope, and optional thermal imaging. While computer vision detects condensation, stains, fissures, or vapor patterns, acoustic signatures identify anomalies based on vibration or hissing. Leaks that are invisible to the unaided eye can be found early thanks to vibration sensing's increased detection sensitivity. With optional link to IoT valves for automated shut-off, the system offers real-time notifications, severity estimation, and predictive analytics. This invention provides a scalable, affordable, and portable alternative to specialized leak detecting technology."
