MUMBAI, India, June 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621048574 A) filed by Vishwakarma Institute Of Technology on April 16, 2026, for A Communication Device For The Hearing Impaired.
Inventors include Batgeri, Prajwal; Dandharagi, Laxman; Gokhale, Adwait; Gijare, Soham; and Ratnaparkhi, Archana.
The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a communication device for the hearing impaired, wherein the system comprises video capture using OpenCV for capturing real-time video input, hand tracking using MediaPipe for detecting hand landmarks and extracting keypoints, CNN-based classification using a pre-trained CNN model for processing the extracted keypoints and predicting gestures, and text display for converting the predicted gesture into text and displaying the text on a screen, the system operating in real-time to ensure low-latency interaction; the working includes capturing video feed, detecting hand movements, extracting key features, processing features through the CNN model, classifying gestures, and displaying corresponding text; the system provides a real-time gesture-to-text conversion solution, operates on standard computing devices without requiring specialized hardware, utilizes deep learning for accurate recognition, ensures low-cost implementation, and supports adaptability to different signing styles, lighting conditions, and environments for effective communication.
