MUMBAI, India, July 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641079240 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology on June 26, 2026, for A Confidence-Guided Adaptive Convergence System And Method For Vibrotactile Perception Threshold Estimation.
Inventors include Dr. Vadivelan R; Ms. Apoorva A; and Dr. Kishor Lakshminarayanan.
The application for the patent was published on July 03, 2026, under issue no. 27/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure proposes a system (100) for estimating vibrotactile perception thresholds through adaptive psychophysical assessment procedures for determining a minimum detectable vibrotactile stimulus amplitude perceived by a participant. The confidence-guided adaptive convergence system (100) comprises a computing device (102) having a processor (104) and a memory (106) for storing one or more instructions executable by the processor (104). The computing device (102) is configured to communicate with a vibrotactile stimulus generation subsystem (128) and a participant response acquisition subsystem (130). The processor (104) is configured to execute plurality of modules (108) for adaptive stimulus regulation, reversal monitoring, convergence evaluation, confidence-guided threshold localization, intelligent stopping, and vibrotactile perception threshold estimation. The confidence-guided adaptive convergence system (100) enhances usability of vibrotactile threshold assessment procedures in clinical, rehabilitation, neuroscience, sensory evaluation, and human-machine interaction applications.
