`
`I understand that my curriculum vitae, which includes a more detailed
`
`summary of my background, experience, and publications, is being filed
`
`concurrently with this declaration as Exhibit 1006.
`
`III. Summary of Opinions
`11. All of the opinions contained in this declaration are based on the
`
`documents I reviewed, my experience and background, and my knowledge and
`
`professional judgment. In forming the opinions expressed in this declaration, I
`
`reviewed the following documents, and other material and information identified in
`
`this declaration:
`
`• The ’871 patent (Ex. 1001), and its prosecution file history;
`
`• U.S. Patent Application No. 09/006,073, and its prosecution file history;
`
`• U.S. Patent No. 7,643,168 (“the ’168 patent”), and its prosecution file
`
`history;

`
`SAMSUNG EXHIBIT 1005
`
`

`
`Declaration of Dr. Alan Bovik
`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`
`• U.K. Patent Application Pub. No. GB 2289555 to Wilska et al.
`
`(“Wilska”) (Ex. 1002);
`
`• JP Patent Application Pub. No. H06-176114 to Yamagishi, including an
`
`English-language translation and a certificate of translation (“Yamagishi-
`
`114”) (Ex. 1003);1 and
`
`• European Patent Application Pub. No. 0734156 to Kurashige et al.
`
`(“Kurashige”) (Ex. 1004).
`
`12. My opinions have also been guided by my appreciation of how a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art would have understood claims 9-11 of the ’871
`
`patent at the time of the alleged invention, which I have been asked to initially
`
`assume is January 12, 1998.
`
`13. Based on my experience and expertise, it is my opinion that certain
`
`references identified in this declaration, which I occasionally refer to as “prior art,”
`
`disclose or suggest all the features recited in claims 9-11 of the ’871 patent.
`
`IV. The ’871 Patent
`A. Overview of the ’871 Patent
`14. The ’871 patent is entitled “Apparatus for Capturing, Converting and
`
`Transmitting a Visual Image Signal via a Digital Transmission System.” I
`
`understand that it was filed on January 3, 2003, and issued on April 29, 2008, from
`
`
`1 Citations to Yamagishi-114 are to the English-language translation.

`
`
`
`Page 8 of 51
`
`SAMSUNG EXHIBIT 1005
`
`

`
`U.S. Patent Application No. 10/336,470. I also understand that the ’871 patent
`
`Declaration of Dr. Alan Bovik
`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`
`claims priority as a divisional of U.S. Patent Application No. 09/006,073, filed on
`
`January 12, 1998, which is now abandoned.
`
`15. The ’871 patent is generally “directed to an image capture,
`
`compression and transmission system for use in connection with land line and
`
`wireless telephone systems.” Ex. 1001 at 1:16-20. In particular, the ’871 patent
`
`describes a device for capturing, converting, and transmitting images. See, e.g., id.
`
`at 1:29-36, 5:29-6:45. Images may be captured by one of a number of different
`
`types of devices, including “a digital camera, an analog camera, or a video camera
`
`such as a camcorder.” See id. at 1:37-39; see also id. at 10:31-35, 11:3-6, Figs.
`
`6A-C, 7A-B. The images can then be converted into an appropriate signal for
`
`transmission to a remote device using, for example, cellular transmission, radio
`
`signal, satellite transmission, or hard line telephonic transmission. See, e.g., id. at
`
`1:29-32, 1:64-67, 4:58-5:13, 5:38-6:45. In one configuration, each image is
`
`transmitted as it is captured. See, e.g., id. at 5:6-10, 5:29-6:14. In another
`
`configuration, images are captured, stored, and selectively recalled for
`
`transmission. See, e.g., id. at 5:6-10, 6:15-45.
`
`16. An example of a device for capturing, converting, and transmitting
`
`images is shown in Figure 6B below. Id. at 10:36-51. The device includes “a
`
`battery powered portable module 160 having a self-contained power source 162,”
`
`
`
`7
`
`Page 9 of 51
`
`SAMSUNG EXHIBIT 1005
`
`

`
`Declaration of Dr. Alan Bovik
`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`“an integral RAM and/or the removable memory module as indicated by the image
`
`card 72,” an “analog camera 10,” a “viewfinder 170,” and “a cellular telephone.”
`
`Id. “The camera 10 can be an integral feature of the portable module 160, or can
`
`be a detached unit, as desired.” Id. at 10:41-43. “[T]he cellular phone can be used
`
`as both an input and an output device.” Id. at 10:48-51. For example, the cellular
`
`phone can be used to transmit an image data signal. Id. at 10:43-48. The
`
`viewfinder can be used to view incoming data or stored images. Id. at 10:48-51.
`
`According to the ’871 patent, such a “modular” configuration (i.e., components can
`
`be “integrated or independent units”) provides maximum “flexibility.” Id. at 1:33-
`
`36.
`
`17. The ’871 patent includes fifteen claims. I have only been asked to
`
`analyze claims 9-11, which are generally directed to “[a] combination of handheld
`
`cellular telephone and electronic camera.” In my opinion, the features, as well as
`
`
`
`
`
`8
`
`Page 10 of 51
`
`SAMSUNG EXHIBIT 1005
`
`

`
`the specific combination of the features, recited in claims 9-11 were well known at
`
`Declaration of Dr. Alan Bovik
`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`
`the time of the alleged invention, as discussed further below.
`
`B.
`18.
`
`Level of Ordinary Skill
`
`In my opinion, based on the materials and information I have
`
`reviewed, and on my extensive experience working in the technical areas relevant
`
`to the ’871 patent, a person of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the alleged
`
`invention would have had at least a B.S. degree in electrical engineering, computer
`
`science, or equivalent thereof, and at least 3-5 years of experience in the field of
`
`digital imaging devices. More education could substitute for experience, and
`
`experience, especially when combined with training, could substitute for formal
`
`college education.
`
`C. Claim Construction
`I understand that a claim subject to inter partes review receives the
`19.
`
`broadest reasonable interpretation in light of the specification of the patent in
`
`which it appears. I also understand that any term that is not construed should be
`
`given its plain and ordinary meaning under the broadest reasonable interpretation.
`
`I have followed these principles in my analysis.
`
`20.
`
`In IPR2014-00987, I understand that the Patent Trial and Appeal
`
`Board (“Board”), applying the broadest reasonable interpretation standard,
`
`construed “framing the image to be captured,” which appears in claim 9, as
`
`
`
`9
`
`Page 11 of 51
`
`SAMSUNG EXHIBIT 1005
`
`

`
`“establishing the boundaries of the image to be captured.” Ex. 1008 at 6-7. I have
`
`Declaration of Dr. Alan Bovik
`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`
`been asked to and use this construction and understanding in my analysis.
`
`21.
`
`I have used the plain and ordinary meaning, under the broadest
`
`reasonable interpretation, of the remaining claim terms in the ’871 patent in my
`
`analysis.
`
`V. The Prior Art Discloses or Suggests All of the Features of Claims 9-11 of
`the ’871 Patent
`
`22.
`
`In forming my opinions, I have reviewed, among other materials, the
`
`following references: Wilska (Ex. 1002), Yamagishi-114 (Ex. 1003),2 and
`
`Kurashige (Ex. 1004). In my opinion, these references disclose or suggest each
`
`feature recited in claims 9-11 of the ’871 patent.
`
`A.
`
`Summary of the Prior Art
`1. Wilska
`23. Wilska is a U.K. Patent Application Publication (GB 2289555)
`
`entitled “Device for Personal Communications, Data Collection and Data
`
`Processing and a Circuit Card.” I understand it is prior art because it was
`
`published on November 22, 1995, which is before the assumed earliest priority
`
`date of January 12, 1998.
`
`24. Wilska describes a portable “device for personal communication, data
`
`collection, and data processing.” Ex. 1002 at Abstract. As shown in Figures 1-3,
`
`2 Citations to Yamagishi-114 are to the English-language translation.
`10
`
`
`
`Page 12 of 51
`
`SAMSUNG EXHIBIT 1005
`
`

`
`the device, referred to as “a notebook computer,” includes, for example, “a data
`
`Declaration of Dr. Alan Bovik
`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`
`processing unit (2)”; “a display (9)”; “a user interface (10, 11)”; “a camera unit
`
`(14)”; a “cellular mobile phone unit (17)”; “at least one memory unit (13)”; “a
`
`power source, preferably a battery (3)”; and “application software.” See, e.g., id. at
`
`Abstract, 3:17-6:23, Figs. 1-3. The device described in Wilska includes software
`
`that provides various functionalities including “telephone services which are based
`
`on the cellular mobile phone (data transmission and/or speech transmission
`
`properties), facsimile services, electronic mail, short message service/SMS, . . .
`
`camera functions to record images and paper documents,” etc. Id. at 6:4-12.
`
`25. Wilska explains that the device’s camera unit is a “data collection unit
`
`[that] can be used to transfer data presented on paper or the like as well as an
`
`image taken of the surroundings, for instance of a person, to the notebook
`
`computer to be processed further.” Id. at 5:5-7. The camera unit can be “fixedly
`
`integrated to the notebook computer or connectable to the card slot of the notebook
`
`computer as camera card 15.” Id. at 7:21-23; see also id. at Abstract, 4:27-30, 5:9-
`
`10, Figs. 4-6. Preferably, the camera unit is “implemented as a CCD camera
`
`comprising a two-dimensional light-sensitive CCD sensor.” Id. at 7:9-11, Fig. 5.
`
`Once data is collected using the camera unit (i.e., an image), it can be displayed
`
`and/or transmitted to a receiver “via cellular mobile phone unit 17.” Id. at 7:26-
`
`8:2, 8:21-24, 9:28-10:7.

`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`
`Yamagishi-114
`2.
`26. Yamagishi-114 is a Japanese Patent Application Publication (H06-
`
`176114) entitled “Image Processing System and Information Processor.” I
`
`understand it is prior art because it was published on June 24, 1994, which is
`
`before the assumed earliest priority date of January 12, 1998.
`
`27. Yamagishi-114 describes a device that includes “an image pickup
`
`apparatus” and “an information processing apparatus.” See, e.g., Ex. 1003 at 3:32-
`
`37, 4:11-6:5, 9:48-10:17, 12:16-46, 15:3-31, 18:11-20:2, Figs. 1A-B, 6A-B, 8A-B,
`
`13, 14. Referring to Figure 1A, an image pickup apparatus may include, for
`
`example, “image pickup means 202, program storage means 50, an interface 52,
`
`and a connector 54.” Id. at 4:14-5:2. As shown in Figure 1B, an information
`
`processing apparatus may include “control means 60” for controlling the whole
`
`information processing apparatus, “memory means [62]” for storing programs and
`
`variables for performing the operations of the control means, “display means [64]”
`
`for displaying characters and images, “operating means [66]” for use in entering a
`
`variety of operational commands (e.g., a pen, a mouse, a trackball, a touch-
`
`sensitive panel, a line-of-sight sensor, keys, switches), “recording medium 90”
`
`such as a hard disk or a memory card, and “communication means [100]” for
`
`communicating with external equipment. See, e.g., id. at 5:4-6:5, 7:16-18, 18:29-
`
`34.
`
`
`

`
`Page 14 of 51
`
`SAMSUNG EXHIBIT 1005
`
`

`
`28. The display means can operate in “through mode,” “monitor mode,”
`
`Declaration of Dr. Alan Bovik
`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`
`or both modes in a side-by-side orientation. See, e.g., id. at 7:18-20, 18:25-29. In
`
`through mode, the display screen operates as a viewfinder to continuously show
`
`images that can be captured by an image pickup apparatus. Id. In monitor mode,
`
`the display screen is used to select and display an image stored in memory. Id. at
`
`7:18-21.
`
`29. Figures 13 and 14 illustrate embodiments of the device described in
`
`Yamagishi-114. Id. at 18:11-45. The embodiment of Figure 14 below illustrates a
`
`device with an image pickup means and a portable wireless telephone as the
`
`information processing apparatus. Id. at 18:23-45. The device in Figure 14 can be
`
`used for telephoning or imaging. Id. at 36-45. And the device’s communication
`
`means can be used to communicate with external equipment. Id. at 5:38-47.

`
`Kurashige
`3.
`30. Kurashige is a European Patent Application Publication (No.
`
`0734156) entitled “Video Camera and Its Setup Method.” I understand it is prior
`
`art because it was published on September 25, 1996, which is before the assumed
`
`earliest priority date of January 12, 1998.
`
`31. Kurashige discloses a video camera and a video camera setup method.
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 1004 at 2:5-9, 3:46-4:18, 19:3-6. Kurashige explains that the video
`
`camera “has memory means for storing setup data for setting up the video camera,
`
`and the video camera body has a control means for setting up the video camera
`
`based on the setup data stored in the memory means.” Id. at 3:48-50. For

`example, Kurashige describes an embodiment comprising a camera with setup data
`
`stored in an EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory),
`
`which is connected to a microcomputer. See, e.g., id. at 5:42-51, 6:23-28. When
`
`the camera is powered on, the setup data is read by the microcomputer and used to
`
`automatically “setup . . . the circuits of the picture pickup block 12 in the optical
`
`head body 1 and the camera body 2.” See, e.g., id. at 6:23-28. Kurashige discloses
`
`various camera features that can be controlled during the setup process, including
`
`gain (id. at 5:10-16, 7:9-25), setup (id. at 3:48-52, 5:42-51, 6:23-28), white clip (id.
`
`at 7:55-8:4), white balance (id. at 7:9-21, 8:2-4, 17:58-18:7), and lens iris (id. at
`
`17:58-18:7). Kurashige also discloses a camera control unit (CCU) that controls
`
`camera “pedestal level.” Id. at 2:50-51.
`
`32. One object of the camera and setup method described in Kurashige is
`
`to eliminate or reduce “adjustments to the camera body side when the picture
`
`pickup block is replaced and the reassembly of circuit boards formerly required
`
`when the signal-use location was changed.” Id. at 4:9-11.

`
`The Combination of Wilska, Yamagishi-114, and Kurashige
`Discloses or Suggests All of the Features of Claims 9-11
`In my opinion, the combination of Wilska, Yamagishi-114, and
`
`Kurashige discloses or suggests each feature recited in claims 9-11 of the ’871
`
`patent.

`
`
`Claim 9
`1.
`In my opinion, Wilska discloses or suggests “[a] combination of
`
`34.
`
`handheld cellular telephone and electronic camera comprising,” as recited in
`
`claim 9.
`
`35. For example, as illustrated in Figure 1 below, Wilska describes a
`
`small-sized, portable, and hand-held device (referred to as a “notebook computer”)
`
`for personal communication, data collection, and data processing. See, e.g., Ex.
`
`1002 at Abstract, 1:4-9, 3:22-26, 10:20-24, claims 1, 9, Figs. 1, 2, 6-9.
`
`
`
`36. The device includes “a radiotelephone, i.e., cellular mobile phone unit
`
`17, preferably as an integrated part thereof.” Id. at 5:22-23; see also id. at 5:23-
`
`6:2, claim 4, Fig. 3 (element 17). The mobile phone unit “is based on the standard
`
`cellular mobile phone technology,” and can transmit both data and speech over a
`
`
`

`
`SAMSUNG EXHIBIT 1005
`
`

`
`digital cellular network using, for example, the GSM (Global System for Mobile
`
`Declaration of Dr. Alan Bovik
`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`
`Communications) standard. Id. at 5:22-23, 6:6-12.
`
`37. The device also includes “a data collection device which is
`
`implemented by means of a camera unit.” Id. at 4:27-28; see also id. at 4:28-5:20,
`
`6:14-9:30, 13:22-25, Figs. 1, 3-5. The camera may be fixedly integrated into the
`
`device, or it may be provided in the form of a circuit card (e.g., a PCMCIA card).
`
`See, e.g., id. at 4:28-32, 5:9-14, 7:1-23, Figs. 1, 3-5. The camera includes “camera
`
`14a” (e.g., CCD), “optics 14b,” and “image processing unit 14c,” which comprises
`
`a “microprocessor 23 and a number of memory units 24.” Id. at 7:2-15; see also
`
`id. at 5:2-5, Figs. 1, 3-5. The camera captures images, which can then be
`
`transmitted to another device using, for example, fax or email. See, e.g., id. at 5:2-
`
`7, 5:22-6:2, 6:6-12, 7:21-26, 9:23-10:2, 13:2-18, 13:20-27.
`
`38.
`
`In my opinion, Wilska discloses or suggests “a housing,” as recited in
`
`claim 9.
`
`39. As illustrated in Figure 1 above, Wilska discloses a small-sized,
`
`portable, and hand-held device with dimensions of “170 mm x 85 mm x 30 mm
`
`(length x width x height) and the weight 1000 g at the most, preferably 800 g or
`
`less.”3 Id. at 3:22-26; see also id. at Abstract, 1:5-9, 10:20-24, Figs. 1, 2, 6-9.
`
`
`3 In inches, the dimensions of the device are 6.7 x 3.3 x 1.2 inches.

`

`
`Declaration of Dr. Alan Bovik
`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`
`In my opinion, Wilska discloses or suggests “an electronic camera
`
`40.
`
`integral within the housing,” as recited in claim 9.
`
`41. As discussed above, Wilska describes a device with an integrated
`
`electronic camera. For example, Wilska describes a data collection unit which is
`
`implemented by means of a camera unit that is “fitted in housing 1 of the notebook
`
`computer as a stationary part thereof.” Id. at 4:27-32; see also id. at 7:1-23, Figs.
`
`1, 3. The camera includes “camera 14a” (e.g., CCD), “optics 14b,” and “image
`
`processing unit 14c,” which comprises a “microprocessor 23 and a number of
`
`memory units 24.” Id. at 7:2-15; see also id. at 5:2-5, Figs. 1, 3-5. The camera
`
`captures images, which can then be transmitted to another device using, for
`
`example, fax or email. See, e.g., id. at 5:2-7, 5:22-6:2, 6:6-12, 7:21-26, 9:23-10:2,
`
`13:2-18, 13:20-27.
`
`42.
`
`In my opinion, the combination of Wilska and Yamagishi-114
`
`discloses or suggests “a display in the housing for framing the image to be
`
`captured by an image capture device and for viewing the image, whereby an
`
`operator can view and frame the image prior to capture,” as recited in claim 9.
`
`43. As illustrated in Figures 1-3 and 6-8, the device described in Wilska
`
`includes a display. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, for example, Wilska explains that
`
`“[t]he notebook computer further comprises display 9 which is arranged . . .
`
`fixedly in connection with housing 1.” Id. at 4:6-8. The display may be “a liquid
`
`
`
`18
`
`Page 20 of 51
`
`SAMSUNG EXHIBIT 1005
`
`

`
`crystal display, the resolution of which is at least 640 x 200 pixels and the
`
`Declaration of Dr. Alan Bovik
`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`
`dimensions in the order of 130 mm x 70 mm.” Id. at 4:8-11. Images captured by
`
`the device can be viewed on the display. See, e.g., id. at 7:26-8:2, 8:21-24, 10:4-7.
`
`Therefore, in my opinion, Wilska discloses a display in the housing for viewing the
`
`image, as recited in claim 9.
`
`44. Wilska does not explicitly disclose a display in the housing for
`
`framing the image to be captured (i.e., establishing the boundaries of the image to
`
`be captured) by an image capture device, whereby an operator can view and frame
`
`the image prior to capture, as recited in claim 9. Yamagishi-114, however,
`
`discloses all of the features of claim 9. See, e.g., Ex. 1003 at 5:8-10, 7:6-23, 8:18-
`
`23, 18:25-34, 20:24-27, Figs. 1A-B, 2B, 6A-B, 8A-B, 9B, 10B, 13, 14. For
`
`example, Yamagishi-114’s display can operate in a “monitor mode,” in which the
`
`display is used to select and display an image stored in memory. See, e.g., id. at
`
`7:18-21, 20:29-32. Yamagishi-114’s display can also operate in a “through mode,”
`
`in which the display operates as a viewfinder to continuously show images that can
`
`be captured by the integrated camera. See, e.g., id. at 7:18-20, 8:18-23, 18:25-29,
`
`Figs. 2B, 9B, 10B, 13, 14. For instance, Figure 14 below (annotated) shows an
`
`embodiment of the portable wireless telephone and integrated camera disclosed in
`
`Yamagishi-114 with a display having “the viewfinder display screen . . . in the
`
`upper window.” Id. at 18:26-28.

`
`

`
`Declaration of Dr. Alan Bovik
`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`
`
`
`Therefore, Yamagishi-114 describes a display for viewing images (i.e., monitor-
`
`mode display), and for establishing the boundaries of the image to be captured,
`
`whereby an operator can view and establish the boundaries of the image prior to
`
`capture (i.e., through-mode display).
`
`45.
`
`In my opinion, a person of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the
`
`alleged invention would have been motivated to modify the display disclosed in
`
`Wilska based on the above disclosure of Yamagishi-114 to display images to-be-
`
`captured by the camera unit, similar to that disclosed by Yamagishi-114, because it
`
`would have provided another well-known means for establishing the boundaries of
`
`
`
`20
`
`Page 22 of 51
`
`SAMSUNG EXHIBIT 1005
`
`

`
`an image to be captured. Also, as shown in Yamagishi-114, using a display as a
`
`Declaration of Dr. Alan Bovik
`Inter Partes Review - Patent No. 7,365,871
`
`
`viewfinder would eliminate the need for a separate optical or digital viewfinder,
`
`which would have reduced the size and cost of Wilska’s device. In addition, a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the alleged invention would have
`
`recognized that having a single display for viewing both stored images and images-
`
`to-be captured would have simplified and improved overall user experience of
`
`Wilska’s device. One skilled in the art would have been motivated to look to
`
`Yamagishi-114 to compliment the features of the device and processes of Wilska
`
`given both references describe portable digital imaging devices with displays, and
`
`various methods to capture, store, process, display, and transmit images. See
`
`discussions above in paragraphs 23-29. Therefore, a person of ordinary skill
`
`would have recognized that such a modification would have been nothing more
`
`than a commonsense combination of known elements in a predictable way to
`
`produce predictable results.
`
`46.
`
`In my opinion, the combination of Wilska and Yamagishi-114
`
`discloses or suggests “a processor for processing the image framed by the camera
`
`for generating a digitized framed image as displayed in the display,” as recited in
`
`claim 9.
`
`47. For example, Wilska describes processing units (e.g., “processing unit
`
`14c,” which includes “microprocessor 23”) for generating digitized images (e.g., a
`
`
`
`21
`
