MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511123786 A) filed by Vinay Pratap Singh; Dr. Shaina; Dr. Gurpreet Singh; Deepti Mehta; Ranjana Singh; and Pawan Kumar Singh, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, on Dec. 8, 2025, for 'society-level ai smart parking system using fog-edge architecture for resident, guest, and paid parking.'

Inventor(s) include Vinay Pratap Singh; Dr. Shaina; Dr. Gurpreet Singh; Deepti Mehta; Ranjana Singh; and Pawan Kumar Singh.

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 invention relates to a society-level AI-driven smart parking management system designed to automate vehicle entry, parking allocation, and monitoring within residential communities. The system integrates an ANPR camera, ESP32-based parking sensors, a distributed parking database, and an intelligent AI agent deployed over a Fog-Edge computing architecture. Upon vehicle arrival, the ANPR module performs real-time number plate detection and OCR processing locally on a Raspberry Pi edge node, eliminating dependency on cloud connectivity. Simultaneously, ESP32 sensors continuously update slot availability, enabling accurate and dynamic allocation. A user web interface allows residents and guests to register, view live parking status, and reserve slots in advance. The AI Agent executes policy-based decisions for resident, guest, and paid vehicles, enabling automated gate control, entry logging, and alert mechanisms. The locally processed architecture ensures low latency, uninterrupted functionality during network failure, scalable deployment across societies, and improved security, efficiency, and space utilization in parking environments."
