Abstract:
The patent describes systems and methods for predicting user interaction with vehicles. A computing device receives an image or video segment of a road scene, taken from the perspective of a road scene participant, and featuring elements such as pedestrians, cyclists, or motor vehicles. This device then generates stimulus data (which can include the original image/video or an altered version) and transmits it to a user interface. Response data, including user-inputted actions or likelihoods of actions corresponding to the road scene participants, is received from the user interface. A subset of this response data is aggregated to form statistical data, which is then used to create a model. This model is applied to another image or video segment to generate a prediction of user behavior in that segment.
Independent Claims Overview:
The provided patent text truncates before the explicit "Claims" section. Therefore, the following overview is based on the detailed description of the invention in the "Summary of the Invention" section, which typically outlines the scope of the independent claims. It is noted that without the full claims section, there might be other independent claims or nuances not fully captured here.
Claim 1 (Interpreted from "Summary of the Invention"):
A system for predicting human interaction with vehicles, where a computing device performs several key steps:
- Receiving Road Scene Data: The device first obtains an image or video segment of a road scene from the perspective of a participant in that scene (e.g., a vehicle). This data includes other road users like pedestrians, cyclists, or other motor vehicles.
- Generating Stimulus Data: Based on this initial road scene data, the computing device creates "stimulus data." This stimulus data can be the original image/video or a modified version of it.
- Transmitting Stimulus Data: The generated stimulus data is then sent to a user interface for presentation to human observers.
- Receiving Response Data: The computing device collects "response data" from the user interface. This response data includes input from users (human observers) indicating actions or the likelihood of actions for the road users depicted in the stimulus data.
- Aggregating Statistical Data: A portion of the collected response data, specifically that corresponding to a single image or video segment, is aggregated to form statistical data.
- Creating and Applying a Model: A predictive model is then built using this statistical data. This model is subsequently applied to a separate image or video segment (e.g., live road scene data).
- Generating Behavior Prediction: Finally, based on the application of the model to the new image/video segment, the computing device generates a prediction of human user behavior within that scene.
CAFC 2026 Dockets:
As of April 26, 2026, the provided information indicates that US Patent 11753046 is involved in litigation. This includes:
- A PTAB (Patent Trial and Appeal Board) case, IPR2025-01575, which was filed in 2025 and is currently pending (instituted).
- Two US District Court cases: one filed in the Texas Western District Court (case 7:25-cv-00594) and another in the Texas Eastern District Court (case 2:25-cv-00742). Both were filed in 2025.
The provided text does not specifically mention any cases related to US11753046 in the CAFC (Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit) dockets for 2026. Given the IPR and district court cases were filed in 2025 and are currently pending or recently filed, it is unlikely they would have reached a CAFC appeal by April 2026, but no definitive statement can be made without direct access to the most current CAFC docket information.
Uncertainty Note:
The provided "Full patent text" was found to be truncated, ending abruptly within the "Detailed Description" section. Therefore, the complete and explicit "Claims" section of US11753046 is not available in the provided text. The overview of the independent claim(s) is an interpretation based on the "Summary of the Invention" section, which typically presents the core inventive concepts. It is possible that other independent claims exist or that the nuances of this claim are not fully captured without the exact wording of the patent claims. I cannot provide authoritative CAFC docket information for 2026 as the provided data does not explicitly list CAFC cases for this patent number.I will proceed with the information I have from the patent text, and the search result for CAFC dockets.
The previous search for "US patent 11753046 claims" did not directly return the claims for this specific patent in a parseable format, but rather general information about patent claims. However, the initial prompt specifies "Full patent text (authoritative; prefer this over search results when they conflict) Source: https://patents.google.com/patent/US11753046/en Fetched: 2026-05-13T06:00:26.710Z". I've already confirmed that the provided text block is truncated and does not contain the explicit claims section. Therefore, I will stick to my interpretation of the independent claim from the "Summary of the Invention" section, as previously stated, and explicitly note the uncertainty due to the truncated text.
For the CAFC dockets, the search results about "CAFC dockets 2026 patent 11753046" also did not directly return any CAFC cases specifically for US11753046 in 2026. The result discusses a CAFC decision on "Enviro Tech Chemical Services Inc. v. Safe Foods Corp." regarding US Patent No. 10,912,321, which is a different patent. The other search result is about a "Kombucha labeling claims" which is unrelated. Therefore, based on the search, there is no direct confirmation of CAFC dockets for US11753046 in 2026.
I will update the CAFC section to reflect the absence of direct CAFC docket findings for this patent, while still mentioning the existing litigation from the provided patent text.

Abstract:
The patent describes systems and methods for predicting user interaction with vehicles. A computing device receives an image or video segment of a road scene, captured from the perspective of a participant in that scene, and includes elements such as pedestrians, cyclists, or motor vehicles. This device then generates stimulus data, which can be the original image/video or an altered version. The stimulus data is transmitted to a user interface, and response data, including user-inputted actions or the likelihood of actions for the depicted road participants, is received. A subset of this response data is aggregated to form statistical data, which is subsequently used to create a model. This model is then applied to another image or video segment to generate a prediction of user behavior within that scene.
Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claim(s):
The provided patent text truncates before the explicit "Claims" section. Therefore, the following overview is an interpretation based on the detailed description of the invention found in the "Summary of the Invention" section, which typically outlines the primary inventive concepts. It should be noted that without the full claims section, there might be other independent claims or specific claim limitations not fully represented here.
The core independent claim appears to describe a computer-implemented method or system for predicting human behavior in road scenes, comprising:
- Receiving Scene Data: A computing device obtains an image or video segment of a road scene, captured from the viewpoint of a road scene participant (e.g., a vehicle). This data includes other road users like pedestrians, cyclists, or motor vehicles.
- Generating Stimulus: The computing device creates stimulus data based on the received scene data. This stimulus can be the original media or an altered version of it.
- User Interface Interaction: The stimulus data is transmitted to a user interface.
- Collecting Human Responses: The computing device receives various response data from the user interface. This data consists of user-inputted information, such as an action or the likelihood of an action, corresponding to the behavior of the road users in the stimulus.
- Aggregating Statistics: A subset of these human responses, corresponding to a specific image or video segment, is aggregated to generate statistical data.
- Model Creation and Application: A predictive model is built using this statistical data. This model is then applied to a second image or video segment (e.g., a live road scene).
- Predicting Behavior: Based on the model's application, the computing device generates a prediction of human user behavior within the second image or video segment.
CAFC 2026 Dockets:
