MUMBAI, India, Nov. 2 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641125854 A) filed by Srm Trp Engineering College on October 22, 2026, for Smart Home Automation Using Hand Gestures.
Inventors include Mirdula S; and Priyadharshini K.
The application for the patent was published on October 30, 2026, under issue no. 44/2026.
Abstract: The present invention proposes a Smart Home Automation System using Hand Gestures to provide a contactless and intuitive method for controlling household appliances. The system uses a camera to capture real-time hand movements, which are processed using computer vision techniques to recognize predefined gestures. Each recognized gesture is mapped to a specific appliance control action and transmitted to a microcontroller-based IoT module. The system enables elderly and physically challenged users to operate appliances easily while enhancing safety, security, and convenience. The proposed solution eliminates dependency on physical switches, mobile applications, and voice commands, making it a reliable and accessible smart home automation approach.
