US patent 9860450, titled "Method and apparatus to correct digital video to counteract effect of camera shake," has the following details:

• Title: Method and apparatus to correct digital video to counteract effect of camera shake
• Assignee: Clear Imaging Research LLC (Current and Original)
• Inventor: Fatih M. Ozluturk
• Filing Date: 2017-02-13

• Abstract: The patent describes a method and apparatus for correcting camera shake in digital video using signal processing techniques. It involves capturing a sequence of digital images (video), detecting imaging device movement with motion sensors, and recording this motion information. A processor then determines a correcting filter based on the motion data and user input, modifies the image sequence, combines the modified images to produce a final corrected video, and displays it.

Plain-Language Overview of Independent Claims:

• Claim 1 (Method): This claim describes a method used in an imaging device. It involves:

  1. Capturing a video (sequence of images) with an image sensor and storing it.
  2. Detecting and synchronously storing motion information of the device during the capture of one or more images using motion sensors.
  3. A processor calculating vertical and horizontal shift values for one or more images based on this motion information.
  4. The processor then modifying these images using the calculated shift values.
  5. Combining the modified images into a final video.
  6. Storing this final video.

• Claim 14 (Imaging Device): This claim describes an imaging device itself. It comprises:

  1. An image sensor for capturing and storing a video (sequence of images).
  2. One or more motion sensors to detect and synchronously store motion information of the device during image capture.
  3. A processor configured to:
     • Determine vertical and horizontal shift values for images based on motion information.
     • Modify images based on these shift values.
     • Combine the modified images to create a final video.
  4. A memory configured to store the final video.

• Claim 28 (Method with Compression): This claim describes a method similar to Claim 1, but explicitly includes video compression. It involves:

  1. Capturing a video (sequence of images) with an image sensor.
  2. Detecting motion information for one or more images during capture using motion sensors.
  3. A processor calculating vertical and horizontal shift values for one or more images based on this motion information.
  4. The processor modifying these images based on the shift values.
  5. Combining the modified images and applying a video compression technique to obtain a final video.
  6. Storing this final video in memory.

• Claim 29 (Imaging Device with Compression): This claim describes an imaging device similar to Claim 14, but explicitly includes video compression. It comprises:

  1. An image sensor for capturing a video (sequence of images).
  2. One or more motion sensors to detect motion information of the device during image capture.
  3. A processor configured to:
     • Determine vertical and horizontal shift values for images based on motion information.
     • Modify images based on these shift values.
     • Combine the modified images and apply a video compression technique to obtain a final video.
  4. A memory configured to store the final video.

Litigation Information:

The Google Patents entry for US9860450B2 indicates that the patent family has litigation. Specifically, there is a "US case filed in Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit" with a link to case 26-1485. There is also a PTAB case IPR2026-00181 filed (Pending). The CAFC 2026 dockets provided in the search results list scheduled cases for May and June 2026, but the patent number 9860450 or its related case number 26-1485 is not explicitly visible in the snippets from the May or June schedules. Therefore, while litigation at the CAFC is confirmed by the patent record, specific details for scheduled hearings in May or June 2026 are not immediately available from the provided docket snippets.
