`
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`1.
`
`I have been retained by Google Inc. (“Petitioner”) as an independent
`
`expert consultant in this proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark
`
`Office (“PTO”) regarding U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466 (“the ’466 patent”) (Ex.
`
`1001). I have been asked to consider whether certain references disclose or suggest
`
`the features recited in claims 1-26 (“the challenged claims”) of the ’466 patent. My
`
`opinions are set forth below.
`
`2.
`
`I am being compensated at my rate of $500 per hour for the time I
`
`spend on this matter. My compensation is in no way contingent on the nature of
`
`my findings, the presentation of my findings in testimony, or the outcome of this or

`
`
`III. SUMMARY OF OPINIONS1
`9.
`The opinions contained in this Declaration are based on the
`
`documents I reviewed, my professional judgment, as well as my education,
`
`experience, and knowledge regarding graphical user interfaces.
`
`10.
`
`In forming my opinions expressed in this Declaration, I reviewed the
`
`’466 patent (Ex. 1001); the prosecution file history for the ’466 patent (Ex. 1004);
`
`the prosecution file history for U.S. Patent No. 8,402,384 (“the ’384 patent”) (Ex.
`
`1005), which is the parent of the ’466 patent; U.S. Patent Application Publication
`
`No. 2002/0186257 (“Cadiz”) (Ex. 1006); U.S. Patent No. 7,007,239 (“Hawkins”)
`
`(Ex. 1007); U.S. Patent No. 6,741,232 (“Siedlikowski”) (Ex. 1008); U.S. Patent
`
`Publication No. 2002/0123368 (“Yamadera”) (Ex. 1009); U.S. Patent No.
`
`7,454,714 (“Totman”) (Ex. 1010); Caroline Rose et al., “Inside Macintosh Volume
`
`1,” 1985 (“Inside Macintosh”) (Ex. 1012), “Macintosh Human Interface
`
`Guidelines,” Apple Computer, Inc., 1995 (Ex. 1013); and any other materials I
`
`refer to in this Declaration in support of my opinions.

`
`11. My opinions have also been guided by my appreciation of how a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art would have understood the claims and the
`
`specification of the ’466 patent at the time of the alleged invention, which I have
`
`been asked to initially consider as the mid to late 2004 time frame, including the
`
`November 9, 2004 filing date of the ’384 patent, to which the ’466 patent claims
`
`priority. My opinions reflect how one of ordinary skill in the art would have
`
`understood the ’466 patent, the prior art to the patent, and the state of the art at the
`
`time of the alleged invention.
`
`12. As I discuss in detail below, it is my opinion that certain references
`
`disclose or suggest all the features recited in claims 1-26 of the ’466 patent.
`
`IV. PERSON OF ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART
`13. Based on my review of the types of problems encountered in the art,
`
`prior solutions to those problems, the rapidity with which innovations were made,
`
`the sophistication of the technology, and the educational level of active workers in
`
`the field, I believe a person of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the alleged
`
`invention, which I was asked to assume was mid to late 2004, would have had at
`
`least an undergraduate degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or
`
`equivalent thereof, and at least two years of experience in the relevant field, e.g.,
`
`graphical user interfaces. More education can supplement practical experience and
`
`vice versa.
`
`

`
`Page 8 of 125
`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`14. All of my opinions in this declaration are from the perspective of one
`
`of ordinary skill in the art, as I have defined it here, during the relevant timeframe,
`
`i.e., mid to late 2004.
`
`V. TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
`15. The ’466 patent and the prior art cited in this Declaration are generally
`
`directed to displaying information in a graphical user interface (GUI). At the time
`
`of the alleged invention, GUIs were well known in a variety of contexts, and a
`
`person of ordinary skill in the art would have known how to adapt a GUI for
`
`various specific implementation requirements.
`
`16. Various concepts in GUI design were known many years prior to the
`
`alleged invention of the ’466 patent. One such concept is the notion of a
`
`“window.” In early systems, this was a rectangular region of a display reserved for
`
`a particular purpose. In later systems, windows could be something other than
`
`rectangles. Such window screen regions could be created in a variety of ways and
`
`for a variety of purposes. Many windows had borders that allowed the user to
`
`move and resize the window. Many other windows did not have such borders.
`
`17. This windows-based architecture was introduced commercially as part
`
`of the Xerox Star in 1981 and made popular by the Apple Macintosh. The book
`
`“Inside Macintosh Volume 1” (Ex. 1012) was published in 1985 and details how
`
`this software architecture works. In addition, Apple Computer, Inc. published a
`
`
`
`
`
`6
`
`
`
`Page 9 of 125
`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`book called “Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines” (Ex. 1013) which detailed
`
`how user interfaces on the Macintosh were supposed to look and behave. One
`
`printing of this document appeared in 1995, well before the alleged invention date.
`
`Both of these documents were influential in the field of graphical user interfaces.
`
`The Microsoft Windows system and its documentation drew heavily on both of
`
`these texts.
`
`18. Because so much of this architecture was designed around rectangular
`
`windows, virtually any part of a GUI at the time was based on such window
`
`definitions. It did not matter whether the window popped up from a menu,
`
`appeared to flow out from a bar or button, or just lived on its own; the underlying
`
`software architecture for such rectangular windows was the same, and the visual
`
`design ideas were the same. Learning from the appearance and behavior from one
`
`window implementation to another such window implementation would have been
`
`within the knowledge of a person of ordinary skill in the art.
`
`19.
`
`“Inside Macintosh” describes how a window should be redrawn as a
`
`result of an “update” event. Ex. 1012 at I-278 to I-279. This basic architecture of
`
`generating an event or method call to redraw a region of the screen from
`
`underlying information has been part of GUI systems since at least that time. Thus,
`
`how to update a screen in response to changed information was well known at the
`
`
`
`
`
`7
`
`
`
`Page 10 of 125
`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`time of the alleged invention. One of ordinary skill in the art would have had a
`
`similar understanding at the time of the alleged invention for the ’466 patent.
`
`20. For instance, an example of this screen refresh technique can be found
`
`in the redrawing of menu highlights as the mouse moves in Windows 95 (released
`
`in 1995). As the mouse moves, a redraw event is generated causing the menu to be
`
`redrawn to highlight the menu item currently under the mouse. Windows 95 was
`
`one of the most widely used pieces of software at the time. Also, at the time of the
`
`alleged invention, computer animation was built around the idea of redrawing the
`
`screen on a regular basis. As time changes, the redraw of the screen was invoked to
`
`paint a new image to reflect changes in the underlying data. This made logos fly
`
`across the screen in Microsoft PowerPoint and many other forms of animation.
`
`21. The X Window system that appeared in 1984 was also very influential
`
`to GUI designers. One significant concept found in X Windows is that a window
`
`could contain other windows. This allows for the recursive definition of complex
`
`window layouts.
`
`VI. OVERVIEW OF THE ’466 PATENT
`22. The ’466 patent, titled “Dynamic Bar Oriented User Interface,” issued
`
`on April 29, 2014, from U.S. Patent Application No. 13/770,190, which was filed
`
`on February 19, 2013. The ’466 patent is a continuation of U.S. Patent Application
`
`No. 10/983,606 (now the ’384 patent), which was filed on November 9, 2004. The
`
`
`
`
`
`8
`
`
`
`Page 11 of 125
`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`’466 patent is generally directed to a method and user interface for controlling an
`
`apparatus in which at least one dynamic bar is displayed on a main screen of a
`
`graphical user interface (GUI). Ex. 1001 at Abstract. The dynamic bar provides
`
`interfaces for applications and/or functions on the apparatus, as well as a pop-up
`
`interface for displaying preview information. Id.
`
`23. The ’466 patent discloses examples of a GUI that includes a dynamic
`
`bar. For example, FIG. 5 shows a dynamic bar 304 that includes counts of new
`
`events 502, e.g., new voice mail messages, email messages, SMS messages, or
`
`contacts online. Id. at 7:51-58, FIG. 5. FIG. 6 shows an expansion pop-up 602 that
`
`lists services 604 associated with the dynamic bar 304, such as voice mail, email,
`
`SMS, and chat. Id. at 8:1-10, FIG. 6. The expansion pop-up 602 includes an iconic
`
`representation of the service 606 and preview information, including a count 608
`
`and a link 610 to invoke the associated application user interface for the service.
`
`Id. at 8:1-10.
`
`VII. CLAIM CONSTRUCTION
`24.
` I understand that a claim subject to inter partes review receives the
`
`broadest reasonable construction that would have been understood by one of
`
`ordinary skill in the art at the time of the alleged invention 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
`
`
`
`
`
`9
`
`
`
`Page 12 of 125
`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`reasonable construction. I followed these principles in forming my opinions in this
`
`declaration.
`
`VIII. OVERVIEW OF THE PRIOR ART
`A. Cadiz
`25. Cadiz is generally directed to a system and method for “provid[ing]
`
`peripheral awareness of information to a user.” Ex. 1006 at Abstract. Cadiz
`
`discloses that information of interest to a user is “automatically tracked or watched
`
`via at least one conventional communications interface for accessing one or more
`
`conventional communications sources,” and “[c]urrent information is then
`
`automatically dynamically provided in an interactive peripheral display which
`
`minimizes any potential distraction to the user.” Id. For example, Cadiz discloses
`
`displaying on a display of a computing device a “sidebar,” which “can be generally
`
`described as a container hosting one or more columns of items in a persistent
`
`interactive display strip along one edge of a conventional display device.” Id. at
`
`¶[0070]. FIG. 5 of Cadiz (annotated below) “illustrates an exemplary user interface
`
`for interacting with a system and method according to the present invention,” and
`
`shows a “user interface [that] includes at least one sidebar 505 . . . for displaying
`
`iconized tickets” (annotated in red). Id. at ¶[0191].
`
`
`

`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`
`
`
`Id. at FIG. 5 (annotated).
`
`26. According to Cadiz, “[d]etermining or specifying, tracking or
`
`watching, and providing the information is accomplished using at least one
`
`customizable dynamic encapsulated object [or “item”], a ‘ticket,’ that when paired
`
`with a ‘viewer,’ provides peripheral awareness of information to the user.” Id. at
`
`Abstract. Various such items are shown in the sidebar 505 of FIG. 5 (e.g., item
`
`515).
`
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`Page 14 of 125
`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`27. Cadiz discloses examples of information that can be shown to a user
`
`in a sidebar. For instance, an item may “represent a person or other entity,” which
`
`“is preferably represented by a graphical image representing the current
`
`availability of the entity.” Id. at ¶[0194]. To illustrate, FIG. 8A (below) shows a
`
`“peripheral awareness interface 800 showing pawns 805 associated with person
`
`items 810, 815 and 820 in accordance with the present invention.” Id. at ¶[0201].
`
`The sidebar of FIG. 8A includes various types of tracked information, including
`
`information pertaining to a calendar appointment, email messages in email folders,
`
`availability of online contacts, and a stock price. Id. at FIG. 8A. Cadiz explains that
`
`“one exemplary method for using tickets to indicate a person[’]s communication
`
`availability status is to use a frontal close-up when the person [is] available, and a
`
`profile when the person is busy,” such as shown in FIG. 8A. Id. at ¶[0198], FIG.
`
`8A.

`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`
`Id. at FIG. 8A.
`
`
`
`28. When a person item is selected, a “person window 565” is shown,
`
`which provides “information about the person or entity.” Id. at ¶[0194]; see also id.
`
`at ¶¶[0183], [0201], FIG. 5. The person window 565 may include “action buttons
`
`for initiating communication via any of a number of conventional communications
`
`channels or access points 570,” “communications availability function 575,” and
`
`communication history function 580. Id. at ¶[0194], FIG. 5. FIG. 8B (below) of
`
`Cadiz is “an exemplary screen image illustrating a dynamic person window or
`
`
`
`
`
`13
`
`
`
`Page 16 of 125
`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`‘enhanced tooltip’ person window 825 accessed by selection of one of the person
`
`items 815 of FIG. 8A.” Id. at ¶[0201].
`
`
`
`Id. at FIG. 8B.
`
`29. The person window of FIG. 8B “provides a short summary of new
`
`messages 825 and 830 sent from the person represented by the person item 820” as
`
`well as “the availability via any of five individual communications channels 840,
`
`including a short message, email, voice mail, telephone call, or in person
`
`availability.” Id. at ¶[0201]. The person window “includes further information
`
`about the person or entity, as well as action buttons for initiating communication
`
`via any of a number of conventional communications channels, i.e. email, voice
`
`mail, instant messaging (IM), cell phone, telephone, mail, etc.” Id. at ¶¶[0183]; see
`
`also id. at ¶[0194].
`
`30. As another example of information displayed in a sidebar, Cadiz
`
`discloses that FIG. 10 (below) “represents an email type ticket/item 1010 within
`
`
`
`
`
`14
`
`
`
`Page 17 of 125
`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`another container/sidebar 1000.” Id. at ¶[0203]. Cadiz explains that the viewer 220
`
`for displaying such a ticket “is capable of displaying specific email information,
`
`such as, for example, number of messages received, or number of messages from a
`
`particular source.” Id. at ¶[0025]; see also id. at ¶[0072]. Cadiz discloses that
`
`“[u]ser selection of the email ticket/item 1000 serves to expand/open an enhanced
`
`tooltip email window 1020 which allows user interaction with received email as
`
`from within a typical email application.” Id. at ¶[0203].
`
`Id. at FIG. 10.
`
`31. As shown in each of FIGS. 8A and 10, a single sidebar may display
`

`
`IX. THE PRIOR ART DISCLOSES OR SUGGESTS ALL OF THE
`FEATURES OF CLAIMS 1-26 OF THE ’466 PATENT
`A. Cadiz Discloses or Suggests the Features of Claims 1, 4, 6, 12-14,
`17, 22, and 24
`I reviewed Cadiz, and, in my opinion, Cadiz discloses or suggests all
`
`37.
`
`of the features of claims 1, 4, 6, 12-14, 17, 22, and 24 of the ’466 patent.

`
`
`1.
`
`Claim 1
`a)
`
`“A method for displaying preview information, the
`method comprising:”
`
`38.
`
`I understand that a “method for displaying preview information” is the
`
`preamble to claim 1 of the ’466 patent. I have been asked to assume that the
`
`preamble is a claim limitation. Under that assumption, it is my opinion that Cadiz
`
`discloses this feature. For example, referring to FIG. 1, Cadiz discloses that “an
`
`exemplary system for implementing the invention includes a computing device,
`
`such as computing device 100” (Ex. 1006 at ¶[0050], FIG. 1), which includes an
`
`output device 116, “such as a display.” Id. at ¶[0054], FIG. 1.

`
`
`

`
`
`
`Id. at FIG. 1 (annotated).
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`
`39. FIG. 2 of Cadiz shows a ticket 210, which when paired with a viewer
`
`220 “provides peripheral awareness of information and communications contacts
`
`of interest to a user via a container 250 for implementing the peripheral awareness
`
`interface . . . on any conventional display device 260.” Id. at ¶[0074].
`
`
`
`Id. at FIG. 22 (annotated).
`
`
`2 The reference numeral 270 next to “DISPLAY DEVICE” in FIG. 2 is a
`
`typographical error, and the reference numeral 260 should have been shown
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`21
`
`
`
`Page 24 of 125
`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`40. Cadiz discloses displaying a graphical user interface (GUI) on the
`
`display, e.g., as shown in FIGS. 8A-8C and 10.
`
`Id. at FIGS. 8A-8C.
`
`
`
`
`instead, because “display device 260” is disclosed at numerous locations in Cadiz.
`
`See, e.g., id. at ¶¶[0074]-[0076], [0095]-[0096].

`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`
`
`
`Id. at FIG. 10.
`
`41. As shown in these figures, the GUIs include “preview information,”
`
`such as information about the availability of a person displayed in person items
`
`810, 815, and 820 in FIG. 8A and information about received emails in FIG. 10.
`
`See below at sections IX.A.1.b, IX.A.1.d. Accordingly, in my opinion, Cadiz
`
`discloses a method for displaying preview information. See also my citations and
`
`analysis below for the remaining elements of claim 1.
`
`b)
`
`“displaying on a display dynamic preview information in
`a dynamic bar, the dynamic preview information being
`determined from information managed by a software
`application, the dynamic preview information being
`updated to reflect a change to the information managed
`by the software application; and”
`
`42.
`
`In my opinion, Cadiz discloses these features. As discussed above in
`
`section IX.A.1.a, Cadiz’s computing device 100 includes a display. Ex. 1006 at
`
`
`
`
`
`23
`

`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`¶¶[0050], [0054], [0074], FIGS. 1-2. FIG. 2 of Cadiz shows a ticket 210, which
`
`when paired with a viewer 220 “provides peripheral awareness of information and
`
`communications contacts of interest to a user via a container 250 for implementing
`
`the peripheral awareness interface . . . on any conventional display device 260.” Id.
`
`at ¶[0074].
`
`Id. at FIG. 2 (annotated)3.
`
`
`
`
`3 The reference numeral 270 for the “display device” in FIG. 2 is a typographical
`
`error, and a person of ordinary skill in the art would have understood that the
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`24
`
`
`
`Page 27 of 125
`
`
`
`Declaration of Dr. Dan R. Olsen Jr.
`U.S. Patent No. 8,713,466
`
`43. Cadiz describes presenting on the display “containers,” such as a
`
`“sidebar” (“dynamic bar”), which “host[s] one or more columns of items in a
`
`persistent interactive display strip along one edge of a conventional display
`
`device.” Id. at ¶[0070]; see also id. at ¶¶[0071]-[0073], [0077]-[0081], [0089],
`
`[0095]-[0099], [0167], [0176]-[0178], [0190]-[0195], [0197], [0201], [0203],
`
`FIGS. 2, 3, 4A, 5, 6A-6B, 8A, 10. For example, FIG. 5 (annotated below), which
`
`“illustrates an exemplary user interface for interacting with a system and method
`
`according to the present invention,” shows a “user interface [that] includes at least
`
`one sidebar 505 . . . for displaying iconized tickets” (annotated in red). Id. at
`
`¶[0191], FIG. 5. The sidebar described by Cadiz is bar-shaped, consistent with the
`
`“dynamic bar” described in the ’466 patent. See, e.g., Ex. 1001 at 7:17-19
`
`(“dynamic bar 304 may lie . . . vertically”), FIGS. 3, 5; see also Ex. 1006 at FIGS.
`
`6-11.
`
`
`correct reference numeral is 260, e.g., as disclosed at various places in the
`
`specification of Cadiz. See, e.g., Ex. 1006 at ¶¶[0074], [0076], [0082], [0095].

`
`
`
`
`Ex. 1006 at FIG. 5 (annotated).
`
`44. Cadiz also explains
`
`that
`
`the sidebar
`
`is dynamic because
`
`it
`
`“automatically provid[es] dynamic communication access and
`
`information
`
`awareness” on the display. Id. at ¶[0016]; see also id. at ¶¶[0017] (“These dynamic
`
`thumbnails or ‘items’ generally comprise a combination of a ‘ticket’ describing the
`
`information or contact of interest and a specialized ‘viewer’ for displaying
`
`whatever information
