`The Accused Products include Apple’s iOS-based devices, e.g. iPhones, iPads, and iPods; and watchOS-
`based devices, e.g. Apple Watches. These devices implement the method as follows.
`
`Each of the Accused Products is a first device programmed to perform operations as set forth below. Each of
`the Accused Devices is programmed to perform these operations by Apple via Apple’s iOS software and
`associated apps provided by Apple.
`
`For example, the Accused Products are programmed with application frameworks such as Location Services,
`which provide device-location features to iOS and/or applications running on iOS.1 (e.g. Find My iPhone,
`Family Sharing, and Find My Friends). iOS is integrated with centralized features and/or applications (e.g.
`iCloud and Maps). Alternatively, any device with a browser or device-location application can access device-

`[1A] with a first
`device, receiving a
`message from a
`second device,
`wherein the message
`relates to joining a
`group;
`
`
`
`Apple
`
`
`The Accused Products practice receiving a message from a second device, wherein the message relates to
`joining a group. Each Accused Product (“first device”) is programmed to receive messages from other
`devices (second device) such as, for example, other Apple iOS products. The Accused Products are capable
`of forming groups as set forth below.
`
`For example, an Accused Product is joined to a group (e.g. Apple services such as the iCloud and iMessage
`services) using an Apple ID. Alternatively, any device with a browser or a device-location application can
`sign on to an Apple service. The Apple ID corresponds to one or more groups. These groups include, for
`example, the iCloud network, “friends” or “families” as defined by association with device-location features
`and applications (e.g., Find My iPhone, Find My Friends, and Family Sharing.)
`
`In establishing these groups, each Accused Product receives messages from other devices, e.g. other Accused
`Products, related to forming a group.
`
`For example, in the case of “Find iPhone,” multiple devices can be associated to the same Apple ID identifier,
`thereby resulting in a single Apple ID corresponding to a group of devices.

`Additionally, in the case of iMessages and Find My Friends, each Accused Product can receive messages
`from other Apple devices, such as other Accused Products, that relate to sharing location and messages. See,
`e.g., the “Road Trip” group below and associated messages. The receipt of the message includes receiving a
`message for a new group iMessage where the users have location sharing enabled.

`The Accused Products practice, based on receiving the message from the second device, participating in the
`group, wherein participating in the group includes sending first location information to a server and receiving
`second location information from the server, the first location information comprising a location of the first
`device, the second location information comprising a plurality of locations of a respective plurality of second
`devices included in the group.
`
`For example, users enable location services on the Accused Products and share their device-location data to
`an Apple online service such as the iCloud service (e.g., one or more Apple servers). When a user “shares”
`their device-location data, the location of the device is communicated to an Apple online service such as the
`iCloud service.
`
`Within each group, each device sends information related to its location to an apple online service. That
`location information is communicated to each member of the group. Each of these groups exist as, for

`second georeferenced
`map different from
`the first
`georeferenced map,
`wherein the request
`specifies a map
`location;
`
`
`
`
`The Accused Products practice sending, from the first device to the server, a request for a second
`georeferenced map different from the first georeferenced map, wherein the request specifies a map location.
`
`As set forth above, each of the Accused Products includes the ability to view georeferenced maps, e.g., with
`the Apple Maps app or other applications with maps embedded. For example, the Accused Products request
`map data from one or more servers. In response to one of a number of user actions (e.g. zoom, drag or change
`focus, change map type, select another device or user), new map data is requested to complete the user’s
`action and the displayed map is replaced or updated accordingly. The Accused Products request new map
`data is requested from one or more servers. Alternatively, any device signed-in to the iCloud service may
`request the map data described above. Each of these requests will specify an area of a map, such as a map tile
`(either panned or zoomed) that corresponds to a location on the map.
`
`Another example of this limitation includes toggling between map types. In response to user action, a second
`map can be called with satellite imagery, which would be retrieved from a different server source having
`satellite information. These maps are delivered based on a request specifying a location. Another example is

`
`The Accused Products practice presenting, via the interactive display of the first device, the second
`georeferenced map and the plurality of user-selectable symbols corresponding to the plurality of second
`devices, wherein the symbols are positioned on the second georeferenced map at respective positions
`corresponding to the locations of the second devices.
`
`For example, the Accused Products present a second map in response to a number of scenarios, including one
`or more user actions (e.g. zoom, drag or change focus, change map type, select another device or user), as
`described above. Additionally, a user may choose to navigate to a user or device represented by the symbol,
`which in turn requested new map data and the display of a new map. With respect to a second set of second
`devices, the new map data will display symbols representing Accused Products at their respective locations.
`Because the new map represents a different map area, it will include the second set of symbols representing
`Accused Products at their respective locations.

`The Accused Products identify user interaction with the interactive display selecting one or more of the user-
`selectable symbols corresponding to one or more of the second devices and positioned on the second
`georeferenced map and user interaction with the display specifying an action and, based thereon, using an
`Internet Protocol to send data to the one or more second devices via the server, wherein the first device does
`not have access to respective Internet Protocol addresses of the second devices.
`
`For example, a user may interact with the map by using an input device or by touching the screen of the
`Accused Product at or around the location of the symbol. Then the user may select a corresponding action
`either directly or after navigating to another related menu after selecting the symbol corresponding to that
`user. Responsive to the chosen action, data can be sent to the chosen device over one or more Apple services
`such as the iCloud service, iMessage service, or Facetime service (i.e. server). Exemplary user actions
`include sending a message, sending media such as pictures, video, or prerecorded sound, initiating a call, or
`sending a sound to be played on the device, locking the device, or erasing the device.

`Communication between Accused Products can and do occur (upon information and belief) when a first
`device does not have a second device’s IP address. Instead, communication and location services are
`established by the requirement of signing-in to one or more Apple server services with a user’s Apple ID.
`One or more Apple servers forwards information from the First Device to one or more Second Devices and
`from one or more Second Devices to the First Device.
`
`On information and belief, the communication of device-location information does not reveal a device’s IP
`address. Moreover, at least for iMessage and email communications, such communications are routed
`through Apple’s servers and the IP address of the sender/receiver is not revealed. Regarding FaceTime, such
`communication is at least initiated over Apple’s servers. On information and belief, such communications are
`encrypted and do not reveal IP addresses to individual devices.
`
`Additionally, the First Device may communicate with one or more second devices using Find iPhone and
`Apple’s servers as follows:

`comprising an
`updated location of
`the first device, the

`
`
`Apple
`information comprising a previous location of the first device, displacement of the first device by a
`predetermined distance relative to a previous location of the first device, or both.
`
`For example the Accused Products utilize a location manager service such as CLLocationManager that
`monitors, among other things, periods of time that are predetermined, or displacement from a predetermined
`distance.
`
`This method is thus performed at least when a user passes a geographic threshold that results in a location
`update (e.g., “leaves” notification). For example, Apple utilizes the following framework that meets this
`limitation as implemented on the Accused Products:

`Each of the Accused Products performs the method of claim 1, further comprising identifying second user
`interaction with the interactive display selecting at least one of the user-selectable symbols corresponding to
`at least one of the second devices and user interaction with the display specifying an action and, based
`thereon, initiating a phone call or phone conference with the at least one second device.
