MUMBAI, India, July 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641087053 A) filed by New Horizon College Of Engineering on July 16, 2026, for Predictive Ceiling Fan Safety Control System Based On Behavioral Event Sequencing.
Inventors include S P Sreeja; N Mithili; and V Asha.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a Predictive Ceiling Fan Safety Control System Based on Behavioral Event Sequencing for preventing accidental human interaction with rotating ceiling fan blades. The system monitors environmental activities including chair movement, ladder placement, climbing activity, object elevation, and human motion patterns near a ceiling fan. A behavioral event sequencing module analyzes the temporal sequence of detected activities to predict potential hazardous situations before physical contact occurs. Based on the predicted hazard level, a safety decision and fan control module initiates preventive actions such as fan speed adjustment, fan shutdown, and warning alert generation. Unlike conventional ceiling fan safety systems that rely on proximity sensing or post-event detection, the proposed invention provides proactive accident prevention through predictive behavioral analysis. The system operates without cameras or wearable devices, ensuring enhanced privacy, safety, reliability, and suitability for residential, educational, healthcare, hospitality,and commercial environments.
