US 11252325

US Patent 11252325, titled "Real time assessment of picture quality," was issued to Snapaid Ltd. on February 15, 2022, from an application filed on March 2, 2021. The inventor is Ishay Sivan.

Abstract:
The patent describes a computerized method for assessing the photo quality of a captured image within a device's image acquisition system. This method involves combining multiple quality indicators (QIs) derived from the current and previous image frames, along with a confidence level for at least one of these QIs. A processor then uses this combined information to determine if the photo quality is acceptable and takes different actions based on whether it is acceptable or not.

Independent Claims Overview:

• Claim 1: This claim describes a computerized method for evaluating the quality of a captured photo within an image acquisition system. The method involves calculating at least one total quality indicator using at least two individual quality indicators. These individual quality indicators are derived from the current captured image and its prior frames. The method uses this total quality indicator to decide if the photo quality is acceptable and provides detailed feedback about the photo's quality.
• Claim 14: This claim is directed to a computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium. This medium stores computer-readable program code that, when executed, performs the method of computing photo quality as described in Claim 1.
• Claim 15: This claim describes a system for computing photo quality. The system includes a processor configured to perform the steps of: computing at least one total quality indicator based on at least two quality indicators (which are derived from the current and previous image frames), determining if the photo quality is acceptable using this total quality indicator, and providing detailed photo quality feedback.

Litigation Status:
The patent family of US11252325 has litigation associated with it. A PTAB case (IPR2025-01521) was filed, though it was "Not Instituted - Procedural." Additionally, a US case was filed in the Texas Eastern District Court (case 2:25-cv-00378), and worldwide family litigation has been filed.

There were no specific CAFC 2026 dockets found for patent number 11252325 in the search results.US Patent 11252325, titled "Real time assessment of picture quality," was issued on February 15, 2022. The current assignee is Snapaid Ltd., and the inventor is Ishay Sivan. The application was filed on March 2, 2021.

Abstract:
The patent describes a computerized method for real-time photo quality assessment in a device's image acquisition system. It involves combining multiple quality indicators (QIs) from the current and previous image frames, along with a confidence level for at least one QI. A processor then uses this combined data to determine if the photo quality is acceptable and takes different actions based on this assessment.

Independent Claims Overview:

• Claim 1: This claim outlines a computerized method for determining the photo quality of a captured image. The method involves computing at least one "total quality indicator" by combining at least two individual "quality indicators." These individual quality indicators are derived from the current captured image and its previously captured frames, and are used to assess if the overall photo quality is acceptable. Based on this assessment, the method provides detailed feedback about the photo's quality.
• Claim 14: This claim covers a computer program product. It specifies that the product includes a non-transitory computer-usable or -readable medium. This medium has computer-readable program code embedded within it, which is designed to execute and implement any of the methods described in the patent, specifically referring back to the functionalities of Claim 1.
• Claim 15: This claim describes a system for real-time photo quality assessment. The system comprises a processor that is configured to: 1) calculate at least one total quality indicator from multiple individual quality indicators (derived from current and prior image frames), 2) use this total quality indicator to decide whether the photo quality is acceptable, and 3) provide detailed feedback regarding the photo quality.

Litigation Status:
The patent family of US11252325 is involved in litigation. A PTAB case, IPR2025-01521, was filed, but it was "Not Instituted - Procedural." Additionally, a US case was filed in the Texas Eastern District Court (case 2:25-cv-00378). There is also mention of the first worldwide family litigation being filed. No specific CAFC 2026 dockets for patent 11252325 were found in the performed search.
