`
`ʼ482: Claim 49
`
`II. Each Party’s Proposed Claim Constructions and Supporting Evidence
`
`information related to a person
`
`A side-by-side comparison of the parties’ respective proposed constructions, an
`
`identification of the party/parties proposing the construction, and an identification of the
`
`intrinsic and extrinsic evidence that they intend to rely upon, either to support their
`
`proposed construction of the claim terms or to oppose another party’s proposed
`
`construction, are provided in Exhibit A. The ’557, ’482, and ʼ515 patents share a largely
`
`identical written description; therefore citations made to one of the patents are intended to
`
`refer to the corresponding portions from all patents-in-suit. The parties also reserve the
`
`right to rely on evidence cited by the opposing party to support or oppose particular
`
`constructions as appropriate.
`
`In addition to the extrinsic evidence identified in Exhibit A, the parties anticipate
`
`that they may rely also on Markman briefing and the Court’s Markman Order from the
`
`previous Summit 6 case (3:11-cv-00367), as well as any potential future Federal Circuit
`
`ruling(s) of matters on appeal in the previous Summit 6 case. With respect to expert

`
`testimony, the parties were able to agree on its use. Expert declarations were submitted
`
`with the parties’ briefing.
`
`III. Length of Claim Construction Hearing
`
`Should the Court find a hearing beneficial, the parties anticipate that three hours
`
`will be sufficient with this time to be divided equally between the two sides.
`
`IV. Witness and/or Expert Testimony
`
`None of the parties intend to call any witnesses at the claim construction hearing.
`
`V. Issues for the Pre-Hearing Conference
`
`The parties do not currently have any issues that need to be taken up with the
`
`Court at a pre-hearing conference.

`Written Description
`
`’557 Patent at Abstract: “The submission tool is
`configurable to perform a variable amount of
`intelligent preprocessing on media objects prior to
`upload. In the case of digital images, the tool can
`perform sizing and formatting, for example.
`Information capture is performed with information
`
`
`1 In its opening brief, Summit 6 revised its proposal to be consistent with the language recited in the ʼ515 patent claims; hence Summit add the phrase “one or more image files,
`video files, or audio files” in the bracketed portion of its construction.
`
`2 For ease of reference, all specification citations are to the ʼ557 Patent. But the column and line specification citations can also be found within the ʼ482 and ʼ515 Patents.
`
`3 In their responsive brief, Defendants offered this alternative construction to their original proposal. Defendants’ Responsive Claim Construction Brief, Dkt. No. 229, at 5.
`Summit 6 has not had an opportunity to respond to this argument and the inclusion of this definition in the chart does not constitute an agreement or waiver on the part of Summit
`6.

`being uploaded together with the media objects. In an
`exemplary embodiment, information capture is both
`user-transparent (e.g., user ID and/or password) and
`user-visible (e.g., the user can provide captions for
`media objects). The submission of information about
`the user and the media objects facilitates automatic
`integration of the media objects within existing
`databases.”
`
`’557 Patent at 1:66-2:15: “The present invention,
`generally speaking, provides an improved web-based
`media submission tool. As with some existing tools,
`operation of the tool is drag and drop or the user can
`“click” to browse a directory to select media objects.
`Unlike existing tools, the tool provides several unique
`and valuable functions. For example, the tool
`provides the user an opportunity to confirm the
`submission with a visual representation, for example
`by generating a thumbnail image of the rich media file
`that has been selected. Additionally, batch submission
`is provided to allow a user to drag and drop or select a
`plurality of images or other media objects.
`Submission from a web page to a web page is also
`provided for. Even more importantly, the submission
`tool is configurable to perform a variable amount of
`intelligent preprocessing on media objects prior to
`upload. In the case of digital images, the tool can
`perform sizing and formatting, for example.”
`
`’557 Patent at 2:40-44: “The following describes the
`
`are:
`a) to the image submitter, the ability to submit media
`objects to web pages immediately without needing to
`overcome technical obstacles;
`b) to the image submitter, the ability to submit media
`objects to web pages "as is" without making
`
`
`
`modifications to the media objects prior to sending;
`c) to PictureWorks web site partner, access to a
`uniform standardized, reliable and secure channel for
`media acquisition; d) to PictureWorks web site
`partner, access to contributed media ‘made to order’, it
`meets their imaging specifications every time without
`human intervention[.]”
`
`4:58-60: “A key differentiator of the Prepare and Post
`tools is the browser, or client-side intelligence built
`into the tools.”
`
`4:65-5:20: “Other features are also
`provided via this intelligence, specifically, the ability
`to control the width and height of the media object
`identifier and the ability to preprocess the media
`objects in any number of ways prior to transporting to
`a second location. In the case of an image media
`object for example, the Prepare and Post tools may
`resize the image, (i.e., increase or decrease its size as
`defined by either physical dimensions, pixel count, of
`kilobytes). Compression, for example, is a type of

`the image’s file format (a way of a media object being
`identified as to a ‘type’ or ‘kind’ of media), change the
`quality setting of the image, crop the image or change
`the aspect ratio, add text of annotations, encode or
`combine (including stitching) the media object, or
`enhance the media object by changing image values,
`for example, relating to contrast or saturation. This
`intelligence may be
`executed in a manner that is transparent to the end
`user. This transparency allows the end user to submit
`media to the Prepare and Post tools ‘as is,’ since the
`tools will automatically prepare it to meet the
`requirements of the second location.”
`
`5:42-46: “The Configuration Section overrides various
`configurable default settings that the customer can
`control. In the Configuration Section, the media object
`identifier component is sized and configured to
`perform any pre-processing of the image that may be
`desired prior to upload.”

`refers to browser-side components which together
`provide the ability to submit and transport media
`objects over the web to be stored and served. Using
`the Prepare and Post tools, end users can submit
`images in an immediate, intuitive manner. No
`technical sophistication is required. In particular,
`understanding technical terms such as JPEG,
`resolution, pixel, kilobyte, transfer protocol, IP
`address, FTP etc., is not required, since the Prepare
`and Post tools handles all of these tasks for the user.”
`
`’557 Patent at 2:58-3:8: “The benefits of the Prepare
`and Post tool are:
`a) to the image submitter, the ability to submit media
`objects to web pages immediately without needing to
`overcome technical obstacles;
`b) to the image submitter, the ability to submit media
`objects to web pages “as is” without making
`modifications to the media objects prior to sending.

`examiner points to column 8 line 60 to column 9 line
`64 of Narayen as indicating that Narayen preprocesses
`the media object. None of the preprocessing described
`in Narayen is done in response to the acquisition of

`
`’557 Patent at 4:58-5:2: “A key differentiator of the
`Prepare and Post tools is the browser, or client-side
`intelligence built into the tools. This intelligence
`directly provides features including those already
`outlined such as associating data with media objects,
`generating a visual representation of the media objects
`and generating media object identifiers dynamically or
`in a pre-set manner. Other features are also provided
`via this intelligence, specifically, the ability to control
`the width and height of the media object identifier and
`the ability to preprocess the media objects in any
`number of ways prior to transporting to a second
`location. In the case of an image media object for
`example, the Prepare and Post tools may resize the
`image, (i.e., increase or decrease its size as defined by
`either physical dimensions, pixel count, or kilobytes).
`Compression, for example, is a type of sizing. The
`Prepare and Post tools may also change the image's
`file format (a way of a media object being identified
`as to a “type” or “kind” of media), change the quality
`setting of the image, crop the image or change the
`aspect ratio, add text or annotations, encode or

`Applicants submit that the image correction and
`composition processes of Hui are both directed to
`separate information that is associated with the image

`correction and composition processes of Hui cannot be
`said to pre-process the digital content, which includes
`one or more of image content, video content, and
`audio content.”
