The proposed invention is applicable to a variety of environments, including homes, businesses, and transportation such as hydrogen fuel cells, trucks, as well as automobiles. Harmful catastrophes have been observed as a result of gas leaking. With this invention, we are going to detect the leakage and usage at early stage and giving alert to the peoples whom used the LPG.
Background of the Invention
In recent years, natural gas has become available to a large number of families, ensuring the upgrading of modern lives. Even though, someone has to palate the harsh capsule of gas leaks on a regular basis. According to the Indian government, a certain Indian city was first exposed to use coal gas in 1964, and since then, tens of thousands of people have died in accidents due to coal gas leaks. First, type of technique has been introduced in AU. Pat. No. (AU2020/202483A1) by Samantha, this a first system to identify the gas leakage using the actuator. If a leak occurs, an actuation mechanism is linked to the solenoid valve to shut the valve assembly's circulation route. The signal from the sensors is analyzed by a programmatic computer system, which then engages the actuator device to shut the pathway of the valve.
The another type of application proposed in (CN2004/2816780Y), which can detect gas leaks in real time, recognize gas movement floor slight changes, and is very sensitivity, can recognize that air inflow does not even have compression and measuring, and implements an intelligence coal gas leakage automatic monitoring system quickly and effectively. Another method was proposed in (KR2016/0051416A), here, they have used the camera to capture the leakage image and send to the user side. The (KR2015/0001071A), identify the leakage using the internal heat of the internal gas stuff is detected, and gas valve is closed for a period of time manually.
The (Younas et al [2020], E3S Web of Conferences 173, 01006), proposed LPG gas detection and notification system that depends on a microcontroller. It also explains the creation of a self-directed Smartphone mobile device for gas leak monitoring that may be deployed in a variety of locations. The sensor based leakage detection system was introduced by (Khan [2020], Eng. Proc. 2020, pp. 1-6).
The invention's major goal is to describe a concept for a gas leakage detection method which can recognize, warn, and manage the gas leakage as well as consumption efficiently. This system contains characteristics such as rapid gas leak detection and an alerting system for the user.
Summary of the Invention
The safety of human life is more important than the modern life. Hence, we are introducing the novel system to detect the gas leakage on different applications like homes, hotels, hospitals. In addition to this, we have added one more feature to measure the usage of the gas and sends the alert to the customer on a daily basis.

Detailed Description of the Invention
Microchip sensors are mounted to recognize LPG gas throughout this article. The sensor is a MQ6 semiconductor sensor. The MQ-6 gas sensor's susceptible substance is SnO2, since it has a reduced conductance in atmosphere. The sensor permeability rises in tandem with increasing fuel pressure whenever the targeting flammable gas is present. The MQ6 sensor module includes a good susceptibility to Hydrogen, Propane, or LPG, as well as a dynamic response to Natural Gas. The sensors could have been used to determine the presence or absence of flammable gases, particularly Hydrocarbons; it is inexpensive and suited for a wide range of applications. The MQ-6 can determine gas concentrations of 200 to 10,000 PPM. The output of the sensor seems to be an analogue resistivity.
The Arduino UNO R3 and the MQ-6 gas sensor are used in this system. If the sensor detects gas in the atmosphere, it will output digital output 1; otherwise, it will output digital output 0. The sensor output will be received as a digital input by Arduino. If the sensor output is high, the buzzer will begin to tune, and the LCD will display "Gas detected: Yes." The buzzer will not tune if the sensor output is low, and the LCD will display "Gas detected: No." The buzzer is comprised of a number of switching devices or sensor systems hooked up to a control unit which gets to decide which tab was pressed or if a preset time has gone, and normally illustrates a light just on applaud button or display screen, as well as sounding a caution in the form of a large or aperiodic ringing or audible alarm sound.
If the system recognizes a level of gas into the atmosphere that beyond the safety limit, it will trigger an alert, which comprises a buzzer, to notify users at home of the anomalous situation and to take the appropriate action. The smell of smoke in the house is the most obvious symptom of a leakage. Furthermore, there must be specific medical indications that you may experience if you have a methane gas leaks. In this system the leakage will be noticed and terminated within 2 seconds of it starting. This technology could even determine how much gas is leaking. This seems to be an effective approach to detect & managing gas leaks remotely. Shut off the power source also aims to mitigate fires. The concept of gas detection and monitoring can be used to a variety of businesses on a broad scale. This framework is introduced in a restaurant, a guesthouse kitchen, or anywhere else. It can really help prevent mishaps due to the gas leaks in the home even in other commercial and industrial applications. There seem to be 180 billion people around the world in our nation, and this technology is cheap owing to its low budget, and it will avoid countless mishaps and also save several possessions including people’s lives.
The unique features of this invention are, we are alerting the user not only the alarming system also via smartphone. This could be more flexible for our current generation peoples.
