MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641093523 A) filed by Manipal Academy Of Higher Education on August 01, 2026, for A System And Method For Real-Time Assistive Indoor Navigation For Visually Impaired Users.
Inventors include Pari Sharma; and Ignisha Rajathi G.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (100) for real-time assistive indoor navigation comprising a camera (205a) configured to capture image frames of an indoor environment (101), a microphone (205b), an audio output transducer (207), a memory (203), and a processor (201). The processor (201) detects one or more objects from the image frames and generates a spatial descriptor therefrom, generates a semantic scene description concurrently with, and independently of, the spatial descriptor, constructs a multimodal prompt by fusing the spatial descriptor and the semantic scene description, generates navigation guidance from the multimodal prompt, or from the spatial descriptor alone based on the semantic scene description being unavailable, and converts the navigation guidance into speech via the audio output transducer (207). The processor (201) further generates a response to a voice query received via the microphone (205b) in a language selected by a user (103). (FIG.1B)
