MUMBAI, India, July 24 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521002703 A) filed by Jugal Kishore Gupta on January 12, 2025, for Gpspin: A Compact Text-Based Representation Of Gps Coordinates.
Inventor includes Jugal Kishore Gupta.
The application for the patent was published on July 17, 2026, under issue no. 29/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a system and method for providing a simplified, easy-to-remember, and compact representation of geographical locations using GPS coordinates. The system, referred to as GPSpin, converts complex latitude and longitude data into an alphanumeric format comprising two alphabets and four numerals (e.g., JH2371). It allows precise identification of locations within a defined area and can extend to larger regions by adding additional numerals. GPSpin enhances location-based services in fields such as emergency response, logistics, real estate, event management, and rural administration. This invention addresses the challenges of memorizing complex GPS coordinates and facilitates accurate communication of location data. By using GPS coordinates relative to a city's predefined Central Reference Point (CRP), GPSpin creates a human-readable short code that can be easily added to existing postal addresses, enhancing their utility in today’s digital world.
