MUMBAI, India, Aug. 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411103709 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 27, 2024, for Iot-Enabled System For Monitoring Disease-Transmitting Insect Vectors In Urban Areas.
Inventors include Dr. Sukhdeep Kumar; Dr. Punam Rattan; Dr. Sandeep Sharma; and Mr. Gurinder Singh.
The application for the patent was published on July 31, 2026, under issue no. 31/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an IoT-enabled system designed for the monitoring of disease-transmitting insect vectors in urban environments. The system comprises a network of sensitive microphones strategically placed in areas with high insect activity, each configured to capture sound frequencies from insect wing beats. An IoT- enabled processor is connected to these microphones to receive and analyze the sound data in real-time, utilizing signal processing and machine learning to classify the insects. The processed data is transmitted via a data transmission module to a central computational facility, which further analyzes the data to generate prevalence maps showing insect distribution and density. The system also incorporates mobile phone technology, enabling volunteers' phones to act as auxiliary data receivers, thereby enhancing the system's coverage and accuracy. The invention ensures reliable data collection through high-sensitivity microphones and employs secure data transmission protocols to maintain data integrity and privacy
