Modeling Agents Using Local and Global Models
Summary
USPTO granted Patent US20260099646A1 for a method of modeling agents within an environment using local continuous models, local discrete models, and global continuous models to predict agent behaviors. The patent covers determining local and global continuous aspects alongside local discrete aspects, then using these to determine agent behaviors via modeling systems. Inventors include Leslie Ann Canavera, Lauren Brooke Decker, and Christopher Rex Curry.
What changed
USPTO granted Patent US20260099646A1 for methods of modeling agents using local and global models. The patent covers determining local continuous aspects via a local continuous model, local discrete aspects via a local discrete model, and global continuous aspects via a global continuous model. The combined data enables agent behavior prediction through modeling systems.
Patent holders and practitioners in AI, machine learning, and autonomous systems should review the granted claims to assess freedom-to-operate considerations. The patent may affect development of agent-based simulations, autonomous vehicle systems, and other applications involving environmental and behavioral modeling.

Abstract
A method of modeling one or more agents within an environment may comprise: determining, by a local continuous model, one or more local continuous aspects of a local area proximate to the one or more agents; determining, by a local discrete model, one or more local discrete aspects of a local area proximate to the one or more agents; determining, by a global continuous model, one or more global continuous aspects of the environment; and providing a third data packet a modeling system comprising one or more agent models, each of the one or more agent models associated with a respective agent of the one or more agents; and using the third data packet, determining, via the one or more agent models, one or more behaviors of the one or more agents.
