`“An electronic device comprising: a) a network interface enabling the electronic device to receive an Internet radio broadcast and being further adapted to
`communicatively couple the electronic device to a central system”
`
`8,050,652 Claim Language
`1. An electronic device
`comprising: a) a network
`interface enabling the
`electronic device to receive an
`Internet radio broadcast and
`being further adapted to
`communicatively couple the
`electronic device to a central
`system;
`
`Samsung Devices
`Samsung provides Tablets and Phones including, for example, playlist applications such as the
`Samsung Music Hub, Spotify, Google Play Music and/or other similar applications, along with
`internet radio broadcasts through a web browser and/or internet radio applications such as
`TuneIn, iHeart Radio, Stitcher, nTouch Radio or other similar applications and also provides, for
`example, a Samsung App store and/or a Google Play store, which enables the devices to receive
`internet radio broadcasts and playlists (“Samsung Devices”)1,2. The Samsung Devices are
`electronic devices comprising a network interface enabling the electronic device to receive an
`Internet radio broadcast and being further adapted to communicatively couple the electronic
`device to a central system.
`
`For example, the Samsung Galaxy S III phone and the Galaxy Tab 2(10.1) both provide an
`interface enabling receipt of an internet radio broadcast through pre-installed web browsers,
`which can stream internet radio from, for example, www.shoutcast.com. In addition, the
`Samsung Devices include a Samsung App store and/or a Google Play store, which enable the
`devices to receive internet radio broadcasts through applications such as TuneIn, iHeartRadio,
`Stitcher, nTouch Radio and other similar applications.
`
`For example, below is a Galaxy Tab 2 screenshot of the Samsung Apps Store showing, for
`
`1 The Samsung Galaxy S III phone charted herein is representative of the Samsung Devices. Additional Samsung Devices are listed, without limitation, at the
`end of this chart.
`2 As demonstrated herein, the accused devices literally infringe the asserted claims. However, to the extent any limitation is not literally met, it is met under the
`doctrine of equivalents.

`
`example, the Samsung Devices include the pre-installed Samsung Music Hub application. As
`noted in Samsung’s description of the Music Hub application below (found at
`http://www.samsung.com/us/article/music-hub-all-the-music-you-want-all-in-one-place/), the
`application enables the Samsung Devices to access to millions of songs through the Music Hub
`central system.
`
`The Samsung Devices also include the pre-installed Google Play Music application. As noted in
`Samsung’s description of the Play Music application below (found at
`https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music&hl=en), the application
`enables the Samsung Devices to access music collections stored online through the Google Play
`Music central system.
`
`In addition, the Samsung “S Suggest” application suggests the installation of the Spotify

`application. Below is a picture of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2(10.1) tablet running the “S Suggest”
`application. The first application in the “TV & Music” category is Spotify.
`
`The Samsung Devices, for example, including the Spotify application enable the Samsung
`Devices to access and stream music playlists stored online through the Spotify central system, as
`noted in the description below of Spotify found at

`“b) a system enabling playback of audio content from a playlist assigned to the electronic device via the central system”
`
`b) a system enabling playback
`of audio content from a playlist
`assigned to the electronic
`device via the central system;
`and
`
`The Samsung Devices include a system enabling playback of audio content from a playlist
`assigned to the electronic device via the central system. The Samsung Devices, with the playlist
`applications noted above (or other similar applications), enable the playing of audio content from
`a playlist assigned to the electronic device via the central system.
`
`For example, the Samsung Devices with the pre-installed Samsung Music Hub application
`enable playback of a playlist assigned to the electronic device via the central system. As one
`example, screen captures from a Samsung Galaxy S III phone below show the preinstalled
`Samsung Music Hub application on the left, and the application playing a playlist created on the
`central system titled “testlist,” including four songs, on the right.

`
`above applications. For example, a playlist is assigned to the devices running the Pandora
`application as detailed below.
`
`The Pandora Tuner (the music player) authenticates with the Playlist Server, passing along
`listener credentials. …
`
`The Station List for that particular listener is returned to the Tuner and rendered on the
`screen by the Tuner. …
`
`The listener selects a particular station for playback. …
`
`The Tuner makes a request to the Playlist Server for a sequence of songs to play. …
`
`The Tuner receives a list of playlist fragment descriptors and begins sending audio requests
`based on the information received from the Playlist Server. …
`
`The Tuner stitches those audio resources together into a stream of music. …
`
`The Tuner plays the first song.

`
`The source code for the Pandora Internet radio client running on the Samsung Devices is not
`publicly available. However, there is an open source Pandora client called Piano Bar. A review
`of the source code for Piano Bar confirms that the Pandora client enables the following sequence
`of steps:
`
`• User selects a station from a list presented (or creates a new one).
`
`• Client sends station ID to Pandora server.
`
`• Client receives a playlist of songs from the server.
`
`• Client iterates through the playlist, fetching the music data for each
`song using the audio URL, and playing it.
`
`• When playlist is empty, client requests further songs from the server.

`
`The Samsung Devices, for example, with Pandora installed operate in a similar manner. For
`example,
`
`Pandora delivers a 128-Kbps stream of music, and it only works with a
`broadband connection. It derives its music license from the DMCA (Digital
`Millennium Copyright Act of 1998) guidelines for streaming Internet radio,
`and the digital rights management (DRM) scheme it employs is notable in
`a few ways. First, Pandora will never play a specific song on demand; if
`you add a song to a station, it will show up eventually, but Pandora can
`only work it in at random. Also, you can only skip 10 songs in an hour –
`this is so you can't just skip to the song you're looking for. The license also
`limits the number of times Pandora can play a particular song or artist in a
`particular time period, and to this effect Pandora stores a list of the songs
`played on your station in your computer's Flash local storage so it knows
`what it has played already.
