MUMBAI, India, June 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621053219 A) filed by Dr. D. Y. Patil Institute Of Technology, Pimpri, Pune - on April 27, 2026, for Assistify - Access Your Mobile Remotely.
Inventors include Ms. Arti Vilas Sonawane; Mr. Harshvardhan Patil; and Mrs. Bhakti Sanket Puranik.
The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: The invention pertains to an offline-first smartphone security and remote access system providing assured operation via encrypted Short Message Service (SMS) channels. In contrast to traditional mobile management and "find my phone" solutions relying upon having an ongoing internet connection, this system remains effective in poor or zero data coverage areas. It lets users execute essential commands remotely, including locking the device, checking battery health, changing sound modes, extracting or filtering contact information, and receiving precise location data. Some of the advanced protective features include SIM swap detection that automatically sends out notifications to emergency contacts, dynamic lock-screen overlays that show the owner identity and recovery information, and real-time event- triggered notifications. For better recovery, the system employs cooperative positioning methods, benefiting from both Bluetooth peer-to-peer discovery and SMS- based location sharing, thus enhancing track accuracy in low-connectivity situations. Furthermore, the invention also supports lightweight image capture and dictionary- based compression methods, facilitating secure transfer of multimedia content using segmented SMS packets. There is also a low-power survival mode that prolongs device availability in cases of theft or emergency situations through selective activation of only necessary modules. In order to support scalability without incurring expensive infrastructure, the system utilizes a hybrid relay mechanism where low-cost mobile devices act as server nodes, supporting encrypted website-to-device communication. The web dashboard that comes along supports a central, user-friendly point for issuing commands, tracking responses, and controlling device security policies. Through the integration of offline communication, scalable architecture, and modular security components, the invention provides a robust, low-cost, and flexible platform for both personal and corporate smartphone management, filling essential gaps for internet-based solutions.
