`1. A method of processing video
`signals at a receiver
`station
`based on at least one informa-
`tion transmission, the method
`comprising the steps of:
`
`receiving information content
`and a first control signal in said
`at least one information trans-
`mission at said receiver sta-
`tion, said information content
`describing at least one of a prod-
`uct and a service;
`
`Evidence of Infringement
`Zynga provides CityVille as a browser-based game to its users via social net-
`working websites and via the Zynga.com website. A user of CityVille directly
`infringes Claim 1 by performing the method steps on a personal computing
`device. Zynga indirectly infringes Claim 1 by inducing and contributing to
`the direct infringement of its users. Zynga directly infringes Claim 1 by test-
`ing and demonstrating CityVille. Unless indicated otherwise, each element
`in Claim 1 includes a “software limitation” under P.R. 3-1(g). Additional
`evidence of infringement may be supplied as needed in accordance with the
`Local Rules and the Docket Control Order following the production of source
`code, source code documentation, flowcharts, and/or other source code re-
`lated documents or testimony for CityVille. The priority date for Claim 1 is
`September 11, 1987.
`
`As described below, CityVille processes video signals at a receiver station
`based on at least one information transmission.
`
`CityVille receives at least one information transmission from a server, such
`as when additional game components are loading and CityVille receives in-
`formation content such as advertisements, game graphics, animations, and
`user information and statistics (such as points/levels earned, resources ac-
`cumulated, prizes earned, purchases, and/or preferences). The information
`content describes a product or a service.
`
`The information transmission also includes a first control signal. For ex-
`ample, CityVille receives a first control signal that causes additional game
`components to load and to compute the user statistics to be displayed on the
`game interface. For example, as shown below, a loading bar indicates that
`CityVille received a control signal that causes additional game components
`to load.

`
`Evidence of Infringement
`
`CityVille also receives information content and control signals to provide mes-
`sages to the game user, such as the availability of various resources (energy,
`coins, chips, for example) available during game play, to remind the user to
`play other games, to respond to requests from other users, and to accept or
`give gifts to other game users. The information content is the content of the
`message, and the first control signal is the signal that causes the message to
`be displayed. The information content may include advertisements to pur-
`chase products or services, such as to purchase additional resources (e.g.,
`coins and cash) or unlock special features. See below:

`generating a benefit datum in
`response to said first control
`signal by processing subscriber
`specific data at said receiver sta-
`tion;
`
`Evidence of Infringement

`processing subscriber specific data at the receiver station on which CityVille
`is being played. For example, CityVille processes subscriber specific data
`(such as a game state stored at the receiver station, which includes an amount
`of various resources the subscriber has accumulated) at the receiver station to
`generate a benefit datum. An example of such a benefit datum is an offer to
`purchase additional resources when the user does not have enough resources
`to complete a certain activity.

`
`Claim Language
`1. A method of processing video
`signals at a receiver
`station
`based on at least one informa-
`tion transmission, the method
`comprising the steps of:
`
`receiving information content
`and a first control signal in said
`at least one information trans-
`mission at said receiver sta-
`tion, said information content
`describing at least one of a prod-
`uct and a service;
`
`Evidence of Infringement
`Zynga provides CityVille as a “mobile game” to its users playing on personal
`computing devices such as, for example, mobile handheld devices. A user
`of CityVille directly infringes Claim 1 by performing the method steps on
`a personal computing device. Zynga indirectly infringes Claim 1 by induc-
`ing and contributing to the direct infringement of its users. Zynga directly
`infringes Claim 1 by testing and demonstrating CityVille. Unless indicated
`otherwise, each element in Claim 1 includes a “software limitation” under
`P.R. 3-1(g). Additional evidence of infringement may be supplied as needed
`in accordance with the Local Rules and the Docket Control Order follow-
`ing the production of source code, source code documentation, flowcharts,
`and/or other source code related documents or testimony for CityVille. The
`priority date for Claim 1 is September 11, 1987.
`
`As described below, CityVille processes video signals at a receiver station
`based on at least one information transmission.
`
`CityVille receives at least one information transmission from a server, such
`as when additional game components are loading and CityVille receives in-
`formation content such as advertisements, game graphics, animations, and
`user information and statistics (such as points/levels earned, resources ac-
`cumulated, prizes earned, purchases, and/or preferences). The information
`content describes a product or a service.
`
`The information transmission also includes a first control signal. For ex-
`ample, CityVille receives a first control signal that causes additional game
`components to load and to compute the user statistics to be displayed on
`the game interface. For example, as shown below, a loading bar (e.g., spin-
`ning wait signal) indicates that CityVille received a control signal that causes
`additional game components to load.

`
`Evidence of Infringement
`
`CityVille also receives information content and control signals to provide mes-
`sages to the game user, such as the availability of various resources (energy,
`coins, chips, for example) available during game play, to remind the user to
`play other games, to respond to requests from other users, and to accept or
`give gifts to other game users. The information content is the content of the
`message, and the first control signal is the signal that causes the message to
`be displayed. The information content may include advertisements to pur-
`chase products or services, such as to purchase additional resources or unlock
`special features. See below:

`
`generating a benefit datum in
`response to said first control
`signal by processing subscriber
`specific data at said receiver sta-
`tion;
`
`CityVille generates a benefit datum in response to the first control signal by
`processing subscriber specific data at the receiver station on which CityVille
`is being played. For example, CityVille processes subscriber specific data
`(such as a game state stored at the receiver station, which includes an amount
`of various resources the subscriber has accumulated) at the receiver station to
`generate a benefit datum. An example of such a benefit datum is an offer to
`purchase additional resources when the user does not have enough resources
`to complete a certain activity.
