MUMBAI, India, July 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641087254 A) filed by Vellore Institute Of Technology, Chennai on July 16, 2026, for Neuro-Adaptive Control System For Hands-Free Control Of Environmental Control Devices.
Inventors include N Subramanian; and Jeetashree Aparajeeta.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a neuro-adaptive control system (100) for hands-free operation of environmental control devices. The system (100) integrates a microcontroller (110) on a printed circuit board (PCB) unit (102). The microcontroller (110) coordinates multiple functional components (104), including a brain-computer interface with electrodes (106-2) to capture biopotential signals, an analog front-end (AFE) (108) for high-fidelity amplification, and a signal processing unit (112) for real-time blink detection. A graphical user interface (GUI) (114) interprets blink inputs, differentiating blink patterns, and generates operation directives. The microcontroller (110) actuates connected devices and an emergency response system based on the operation directives. Upon detection of predefined blink patterns, the emergency system triggers alerts and sends automatic notifications to designated contacts. The system (100) autonomously enables users to control appliances and safety features using eye blinks and brain activity, enhancing accessibility and independence.
