`
`“a program or group of programs

`
`“an ‘application’ exists in a particular software
`architecture having an operating system that
`can manage multiple executables (e.g.
`applications), and an application can be
`launched to access its associated functions
`as data”
`
`POR(020), 14; POR(476), 13-14.
`
`Patent Owner Argues “Application” Requires “Operating System”
`
`POR(020), 16-17; POR(476), 16.
`
`But ’020 and ’476 Specifications Expressly Describe “Operating System” as Optional,
`and Claims Do Not Require One:
`
`“In another aspect, there is a computer program which when running on a computing
`device (such as a mobile telephone), enables the device to operate in accordance with the
`above aspects of the invention. The program may be an operating system.”

`“. . . [the broadest reasonable] interpretation of the term ‘application’ is ‘a program, or group
`of programs working together, designed to provide access to functions and data.’”

`And the ’020 and ’476 Specifications Explain:
`“. . . a mobile telephone includes several different applications (e.g. a message application, a
`contacts/address book application, a calendar application and a telephone application), then
`the user normally has to first of all locate, then start/open the required application and then
`may need to navigate to the required function . . . or cause the required stored data . . . to be
`displayed.”

`Patent Owner Also Argues:
`“. . . ‘function’ . . . should not be interpreted as simply opening an application or a window of an application.”
`
`“an action to be activated in an application
`and performed by a user”
`
`
`POR(020), 20; POR(476), 19.
`
`POR(020), 19, 20; POR(476), 19.
`But ’020/’476 Specifications Do Not Limit “Function” to Exclude Viewing a Particular Screen/Window:
`“. . . the menu commands may then be divided into functional groups, with the most useful functional group
`at the top of the menu; the most useful command within that group is then placed at the top of group.”
`
`Ex.1001(020), 1:54-58; Reply(020), 2-3; Ex.1001(476), 1:64-2:1; Reply(476), 2-3.
`
`“. . . the summary window for a given application shows data or a function of interest, the user can directly
`select that data or function; this causes the application to open and the user to be presented with a screen
`in which the data or function of interest is prominent.”

`
`“Function” (’020 cls.1, 16; ’476 cls. 1, 20) (cont’d)
`
`Patent Owner Also Admits:
`". . . the two most common functions . . . in the Messages application [are] 'Create Messages’
`and ‘Enter chat room.’"
`
`". . . to select or initiate a function (e.g. to open an address book function, enter a PIN security
`number or to alter the ring melody) . . ."

`
`Ex. 1001(020), 2:6-10; Ex.1001(476), 2:17-21.
`
`And Dr. Myers Testified:
`
`“[E]ven PO’s cited ‘examples’ (Opp.18-19), such as ‘enter a PIN security number’ and ‘Enter
`chat room,’ would involve opening a certain window/view on a screen, such as opening a
`message or chat window. . . .”

`
`And Patent Owner Admitted (and Examiner Confirmed) During Prosecution
`That Displaying a Certain View Is a Function:
`
`“In the example of Fig 2A [of Arcuri], to
`which the Examiner has referred, the
`short/long menu is a view menu within a
`word processing program (col. 8, lines
`10-12). It is true that this menu offers a
`limited list of the common functions

`
`“data stored by that application”
`
`POR(020), 45-46.
`
`Patent Owner Argues:
`“. . . data ‘stored in’ an application refers to ‘data’ that is caused to be stored by an application in a memory location that is
`allocated specifically to the application.”
`
`But the ‘020 Specification Describes “Data Stored in That Application” as
`“Data Associated With That Application”:
`“According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided a computing device . . . being able to display on the screen an
`application summary window . . . comprising a limited list of (i) common functions offered within an application and/or (ii) data
`stored in that application.”
`
`POR(020), 20, 45.

`“The App Snapshot for any given application is a window which includes commonly requested data associated with that
`application and links to common functionality in that application.”

`And the ‘020 Specification Says Nothing About Data Being Stored “By” an Application.

`
`Nor Does the ‘020 Specification Limit Data to Being Stored “in a Memory Location
`That Is Allocated Specifically to the Application”:

`
`Schnarel:
`“Each of the user interface controls in the general messages area enable the user to launch a task associated with the
`control. In response to selecting an active fax button, the messages application is launched and a fax viewer is displayed….
`The call logger button behaves similarly. After prompting the user for a user ID and password (if multi-user and security
`features are enabled), pressing an active call logger button causes the messages application to launch, and a call log viewer
`to be displayed.”

`Schnarel (Ex.1004), 8:46-59; P(020), 13, 26-27; P(476), 13-14, 35.
`
`“the new messages icon list (312) is a row of icons that is displayed to the right of the user account name field. An icon is
`only presented when a new message exists. If no new user-specific messages exist for a particular user, then the text ‘No new
`messages’ is displayed. Since the message icons are associated with individual users, the icon list displays those message-
`types that are user-specific. . . . The types of messages represented with icons include notepad (320), answering machine
`(322), and email messages (324). . . . When the user selects an icon in the new messages icon list, a procedure associated
`with the icon launches a message center application program, which displays the appropriate message viewer. ”

`
`’020 Patent Claim 1
`A computing device comprising a display screen,
`the computing device being configured to display on
`the screen a main menu listing at least a first application,
`and
`additionally being configured to display on the screen
`an application summary window that can be reached
`directly from the main menu,
`wherein the application summary window displays a
`limited list of at least one function offered within the first
`application,
`each function in the list being selectable to launch the
`first application and initiate the selected function, and
`
`wherein the application summary window is displayed
`while the application is in an un-launched state.
`
`’476 Patent Claim 1
`A computing device comprising a display screen,
`the computing device being configured to display on
`the screen a menu listing one or more applications, and
`
`additionally being configured to display on the screen
`an application summary that can be reached directly from
`the menu,
`wherein the application summary displays a limited list
`of data offered within the one or more applications,
`
`each of the data in the list being selectable to launch
`the respective application and enable the selected data to
`be seen within the respective application, and
` wherein the application summary is displayed while
`the one or more applications are in an un-launched state.

`Schnarel Discloses “Functions” (’020 cls. 1.D/16.D, 2; ’476 cls. 8, 29) / “Data”
`(’476 cls. 1.D/20.D, 4) “Within the . . . Application”:
`Schnarel’s Message Viewers Are Part of Message Center Application
`Patent Owner Argues:
`“Message viewers are applications (or programs) separate from the message center
`application. . . it is not the message center, but the message viewer applications that
`‘provide[ ] the functionality for displaying and managing messages of a particular type.’”
`
`POR(020), 31-32; see also POR(476), 40-41.
`
`“[Icons 320, 322, and 324] are not offered within an application listed in area 104 . . . The
`notepad message viewer, answering machine viewer, and e-mail message viewer are separate
`plug-ins from the message center application . . . and must be separately launched for the
`messages to be viewed.”
`
`POR(476), 34.
`
`But Schnarel Expressly Confirms That the Message Center Application
`Is the Parent Application of the Message Summary Pane:
`
`“. . . the message summary pane is the visual representation of the message center
`application within the start screen; the message center is the ‘parent application’ of the
`message summary pane.”

`The Purpose of Schnarel’s Message Center Application Is to Provide
`Access to Messages:
`“The message center (708) provides integrated access to all types of messages . . . such as
`answering machine messages, e-mails, and faxes.”

`“When the user selects an icon in the new messages icon list, a procedure associated with the
`icon launches a message center application program, which displays the appropriate
`message viewer.”

`Schnarel’s Message Viewers Are Part of Message Center Application (cont’d)
`Figure 7 of Schnarel Shows the “Message Viewers”
`Are Part of the “Message Center” Application:
`“The application programs include . . . the message
`center (708), address book . . . (710), web browser
`(712), help system (714), and an application (716)
`for modifying settings (718).”

`(’476 cls. 1.D/20.D, 4) “Within the . . . Application”:
`Schnarel’s Message Viewers Are Part of Message Center Application (cont’d)
`Patent Owner Argues:
`“. . . the fax viewer and call log viewer are also separate plugin applications that must be launched, rather than
`‘functions offered within the’ message center.”
`
`POR(020), 32; see also POR(476), 41.
`But Message Viewers Provide Functions and Data for the Message Center Application:
`“The message viewer plugs into the message center . . . and provides the functionality for displaying and managing
`messages of a particular type. Examples of the message viewers include an answering machine viewer (732), an e-
`mail viewer (734), and fax viewer (736).”

`
`As Dr. Myers Testified:
`“[A]n application is a program or group of programs (which include helper programs such as the message center
`plugins that allow extended functionality of the parent application). For example, Microsoft Outlook, with, e.g.,
`mail and calendar programs, and Excel, with spreadsheet and charting programs, are applications with a group of
`programs. Thus, even if the message viewers are themselves individual programs (or ‘separate plugin applications,’
`as PO contends), they provide functions for the message center application, and are part of the message
`center application.”
`
`Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms (1996):
`“PLUG-IN an accessory program that provides additional functions for a main application program.”

`
`Schnarel Renders Obvious “Functions” (’020 cls. 1.D/16.D, 2; ’476 cls. 8, 29) / “Data”
`(’476 cls. 1.D/20.D, 4) “Within the . . . Application”: It Would Have Been Obvious to
`Include Message Viewers as Part of Message Center Application
`
`And, in the Alternative, Dr. Myers Testified:
`
`“Further, including Schnarel’s message viewers as part of the message center application
`would be an obvious design choice and advantageous: when part of the larger message
`center application, the viewer windows would display much faster than if they were required
`to launch separate applications for each window.”

`
`Schnarel Discloses “Functions” Under Both Parties’ Proposed
`Constructions (’020 cls. 1.D/16.D, 2; ’476 cls. 8, 29)
`
`Patent Owner Argues:
`“[T]he fax viewer and call log viewer are not functions, and instead . . . correspond to different windows, or
`views, of the message center. . . . [T]he proper construction of a ‘function’ . . . requires more than simply
`opening an application window or viewer. . . .”
`
`POR(020), 33-34; POR(476), 42.
`
`But Schnarel Discloses Displaying a Particular View of the Application, Which Is a Function:
`
`“In response to selecting an active fax button, the messages application is launched and a fax viewer
`is displayed.”
`
`Schnarel (Ex.1004), 8:46-50; P(020), 26-27, 30; P(476), 35.
`“[P]ressing an active call logger button causes the messages application to launch, and a call log viewer to
`be displayed.”
`
`Schnarel (Ex.1004), 8:55-59; P(020), 26-27, 30; P(476), 35.
`
`And Dr. Myers Testified:
`“Schnarel teaches ‘an action to be activated in [the message center] application and performed by a user’
`because when the caller log/fax button is selected, not only is the message center application launched
`but a particular type of message (either caller log or fax messages) is displayed. This is analogous to ‘enter
`chat room’ because, like entering a specific chat room, a user would enter the message viewer of a
`particular type of message (i.e. Call Logs or Fax Messages).”

`
`Schnarel Discloses “Functions” Under Both Parties’ Proposed
`Constructions (’020 cls. 1.D/16.D, 2; ’476 cls. 8, 29) (cont’d)
`
`Patent Owner Argues:
`“[Schnarel’s] buttons – Add contact, Move, and Callback -- are consistent with the [’020/’476] patent’s
`description of functions, while the Caller Log and Fax buttons are consistent with opening an address
`book. And ‘opening an address book’ is not described as a function in the [’020/’476] patent.”
`
`POR(020), 34-35; POR(476), 43.
`
`But Schnarel Discloses Functions of “Identify[ing] Herself/Himself” or “Enter[ing] a Password,”
`Which Are Analogous to “Enter[ing] a PIN Security Number” in ’020/’476 Patents:
`“If the device supports multiple users, then actuating the button may first cause a user interface screen to
`be displayed, prompting the user to identify herself/himself. Further, if the selected user is security
`enabled, then a password screen is displayed, prompting the user to enter a password.”
`
`Schnarel (Ex.1004), 8:50-59; P(020), 26-27; Dr.Myers1(020) ¶¶17, 37-38, 67; Reply(020), 11;
`P(476), 35-36; Dr.Myers1(476) ¶¶17, 39-40, 68-72; Reply(476), 16.
`
`And Dr. Myers Confirmed:
`
`“Schnarel’s teaching of ‘identify[ing] herself/himself’ and ‘enter[ing] a password’ is analogous to ‘enter[ing]
`a PIN security number,’ which the ’020 specification describes as an example of a function.”

`Ex.2014, 45:6-46:3, 48:7-15; RMOC(020), 2; RMOC(476), 2.
`
`As Dr. Myers Testified:
`
`“Schnarel does not merely teach opening an application window/viewer; rather, Schnarel
`teaches—upon selecting the caller log/fax button—displaying the relevant screen and
`offering ‘an action that a user is to perform within the corresponding application’ (i.e.,
`displaying and managing messages of a particular type for a particular user, such as, ‘Chip’ in
`Schnarel’s Fig. 5).”

`Discloses Taking User to Different Screens (’020 cls. 1.D/16.D, 2; ’476 cls. 8, 29)
`
`Patent Owner Argues:
`“Even if the call log viewer and fax viewer are not separate from the Message Center, the Caller Log and
`Fax buttons can be the default views and can therefore open to the same view as if the Messages button
`of pane 104 were opened.”
`
`POR(020), 36-37; POR(476), 45.
`But Claims Don’t Require That Functions Take User to Different Screens; Even If They Did, PO Admits:
`“the fax viewer and call log viewer . . . correspond to different windows, or views, of the message center.”
`
`POR(020), 33; POR(476), 42.
