MUMBAI, India, July 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641086968 A) filed by Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham on July 16, 2026, for Geographic Braille Mapping System And Method Thereof.
Inventors include Paneerselvam, Surekha; Pillai, Krishnapriya Vinod; H, Nihaarika; M, Bahula; and Rd, Shreya.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides geographical tactile embossing and substrate representation. The apparatus (100) includes a memory (102), a processor (104), a control unit (106), and an actuator assembly (108). The memory (102) retains a geospatial dataset (102-2) and associated feature attributes (104-2A). The processor (104) extracts geospatial vectors (104-2) and from the geospatial dataset (102-2). The control unit (106) generates a control signal (106-2) based on the geospatial vectors (104-2), the control signal (106-2) including control instructions (106-2A) and an actuator address (106-2B). The actuator assembly (108) selectively executes a first actuator (108-2), a punching press (108-4), and a second actuator (108-6) based on a comparison between an actuator address (106-2B) and unique identifiers (108-8). Unlike traditional tactile maps, this approach utilizes localized boundary clustering and attribute-based depth modulation to deliver legible tactile maps and optimized production times tailored to inclusive geographical education.
