MUMBAI, India, Aug. 12 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202611070582 A) filed by Noida Institute Of Engineering And Technology Niet on June 05, 2026, for Hardware-Accelerated Distracted Driver Detection System With Dual-Domain Embedding Decoupling.
Inventors include Jyoti Rani; and Subhash Chandra.
The application for the patent was published on August 07, 2026, under issue no. 32/2026.
Abstract: A hardware-accelerated distracted driver detection system comprises an in-cabin image capture sensor (100), a field-programmable gate array accelerator (200) hosting an image encoder pipeline (202), a driver-specific appearance decoupling unit (210), a text embedding orthogonalization unit (220), and a cosine similarity scoring circuit (260), protected by an interconnect firewall controller (300). The appearance decoupling unit (210) computes a per-driver mean embedding via a hardware averaging accumulator (212) and removes appearance influence through a fixed-point vector subtraction unit (214). The orthogonalization unit (220) performs singular value decomposition via a matrix decomposition accelerator (222) and projects onto a Stiefel manifold to produce mutually orthogonal text embeddings committed to a write-locked memory region (230). The interconnect firewall controller (300) permanently locks its policy registers through a one-time hardware latch (310) upon attestation completion, establishing a tamper-resistant inference boundary for zero-shot distraction classification.
