`
`Applicability
`Users of an XBRL validator use an apparatus, comprising: a device; and an application including
`a network browser on the device for accessing a system. See excerpt(s) below, for example
`(emphasis added):
`
`Note: Any entity using XBRL on an official basis requires use of an XBRL validator to ensure that
`an XBRL document complies with relevant rules set forth by the XBRL standard.
`
`Upon information and belief, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and/or
`Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) validate XBRL filings made to
`those organizations and infringe at least claim 1 of the ‘748 Patent in violation of 35 U.S.C.
`§ 271(a) by using the patented invention to, inter alia, process multiple XBRL- compliant
`filings. See pertinent excerpt(s) below illustrating applicability to the FDIC/FFIEC xBAT
`formula processor, for example: https://xbrl.us/home/filers/fdic-reporting/.
`
`“The FFIEC report framework was designed with extensibility to other data series. As Figure 1
`illustrates, the framework uses a common dictionary which each report and characteristic
`taxonomy imports. This model provides a modular approach to taxonomy design that can be
`duplicated and extended to include additional regulatory reports, such as the FRB Y9 series. The
`FFIEC report framework reflects the CDR data model which uses formulas in both taxonomies to
`process and validate data received by financial institutions. The same formulas used by the CDR
`system are used in Call Report vendor software to ensure the transparency of formula results. If
`a formula processes incorrectly, both the CDR and vendor software should produce an identical
`result. This approach to pre-validation helps to proactively resolve issues during the report
`creation and submission process.”

`
`“3.5 Processing
`
`Characteristic formulas are expressed to handle two processing models, pre and post. Then
`agencies developed a custom formula processor to handle both pre- and post-processing of
`XBRL formulas. These processing requirements were implemented using custom functions, such
`as ExistingNonNil.
`
`Characteristic and consistency formulas follow different processing models. Consistency
`expressions are defined to process data and provide a result. Characteristic expressions are
`defined to process data, provide a result, process the result, and provide a second and final
`result. This type of “cascading” data processing is a critical step to understand how financial
`data are processed in CDR. Validation must follow a fixed order of execution to provide a proper
`result. Figures 5 and 6 illustrate an overview of the cascading formula pipeline used by CDR.”

`
`“The FDIC developed and enhanced the FFIEC taxonomy framework and initiated development
`on the XBRL Business Analyst Tool (xBAT). This tool marked the beginning of a full CDR
`implementation using XBRL as the exchange mechanism and brought the POC demo into
`reality. The Call Report and formula taxonomy design remained virtually the same but included
`absolute and relative context references. Call Report taxonomies are published on a calendar
`quarter. However, formula expressions reference prior period data, and a formula processor
`will need a point of reference when processing data with formulas. The xBAT formula
`taxonomy included absolute context definitions, such as “P0” for current period or “P1” for one
`period prior. The xBAT formula taxonomy also included relative contexts, such as “–P1Y” for
`the prior year or “–P1Q” for the prior year quarter. The xBAT formula taxonomy was a simple
`implementation of XBRL formulas and did not contain any special functions or processes, such
`as reportability. The xBAT formulas followed a simplistic implementation of cascading data
`validation where formulas process report data and provide a result message. Formula
`expressions did not require a special or custom processor to process formulas with data, but
`the final release of xBAT did provide a mechanism to validate report or formula taxonomies
`with instance data. The formula design was sufficiently simple so that any off-the-shelf XML
`processor could be used to process the formulas with instance data. Also, xBAT provided Call
`Report formulas in a separate formula taxonomy. This allowed a software vendor to process
`formulas with data without having to consider the report taxonomy based on financial
`reporting forms.”

`
`readably coupled to at least one of the data values, where the at least one computer- readable
`XML-compliant data document is capable of including multiple hierarchical relationships between
`two line items. See excerpt(s) below, for example (emphasis added):
`
`Note: As set forth below, XBRL documents are required by the XBRL standard to be XML-
`compliant and include a plurality of line items with a plurality of data values, and a plurality of
`computer-readable semantic tags.
`
`“In XBRL terminology, a concept is a definition of a reporting term. Concepts manifest as XML
`
`Schema [SCHEMA‑1] element definitions. In the taxonomy schema a concept is given a concrete
`
`name and a type. The type defines the kind of data types allowed for facts measured according
`to the concept definition. For example, a “cash” concept would typically have a monetary type.
`This declares that when cash is reported, its value will be monetary. In contrast, a
`“accountingPoliciesNote” concept would typically have a string type so that, when the
`“accountingPoliciesNote” is reported in an XBRL instance, its value would be interpreted as a
`string of characters. Additional constraints on how concepts can be used are documented by
`
`additional XBRL attributes on the XML Schema [SCHEMA‑1] element definitions that correspond
`
`to the concepts…The linkbases in a taxonomy further document the meaning of the concepts by
`expressing relationships between concepts (inter-concept relationships) and by relating concepts
`to their documentation.”

`processors must impose on all XBRL reports. These enforce not only basic syntactical checks, but
`also ensure that the reports comply with the definitions in the taxonomy.”

`“From a technical perspective, XBRL implements XML, but also encapsulates other WC3
`standards to enable features important to business reporting—like multiple relationships (both
`hierarchical and non-hierarchical) and extensibility—that are not available in native XML. The
`XBRL specification defines how to create documents containing your data in well-formed XML
`(called instance documents) and how to create files containing relevant business terminology,
`their meanings, their data types, relationships among terms, and the rules/formulas they must
`follow (called taxonomies).”
