`
`Claim
`1[P]. A communication system for
`transmitting, receiving, confirming
`receipt, and responding to an
`electronic message, comprising: a
`predetermined network of
`participants, wherein each participant
`has a similarly equipped PDA/cell
`phone that includes a CPU and a
`touch screen display a CPU and
`memory;
`
`Accused Products
`The Apple Accused Products together constitute a “communication system” for transmitting,
`receiving, confirming receipt, and responding to an electronic message, comprising: a
`predetermined network of participants, wherein each participant has a similarly equipped
`PDA/cell phone that includes a CPU and a touch screen display a CPU and memory.
`
`Apple makes, uses, sells, and otherwise provides this communication system by making,
`using, selling, and importing iOS devices such as the iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple
`Watch as well as by providing its servers for use with iOS devices to enable features such as
`Find My iPhone.
`
`The Accused Products include Apple’s servers, which receive and relay information and
`otherwise provide for data transmission, as well as iOS devices and web interfaces, which
`provide the forced message control functionality for other iOS devices.
`
`For example each “Apple ID” is a personal account to “access Apple services like the
`App Store, iTunes Store, iCloud, iMessage, the Apple Online Store, FaceTime, and more,“
`which allowed users to “use the same Apple ID everywhere you sign in to ensure that all your

`and 4.
`
`The Accused Products meet this limitation. Apple provides access to one or more of its
`servers that facilitate the transmission of electronic files between each of the iOS devices.
`These servers include the iCloud server(s), iMessage server(s), FaceTime Server(s), Find My
`iPhone Server(s), and other servers that AGIS expects to identify through discovery.
`
`Apple makes, uses, imports, sells, or otherwise provides iOS devices, such as the Accused
`Products, to its customers. These devices include PDA/cell phones, i.e. smartphones, tablets,
`and other devices with cellular connections. Each claimed electronic message is sent from at
`least one Accused Product to another Accused Product which share a common “Apple ID.”

`last update, and actual locations.
`
`The Sender electronically transmits the message to the Receiver through the use of the
`Accused Products. Because this is a security feature, the recipient phones have no control
`over the receipt of the message and thus the message is “forced.”
`
`
`The forced message alert is initiated by
`selecting the phone to put into “lost
`mode” then selecting “actions.”

`
`This claim is literally met by one or more TCP/IP or other protocol packets (including Apple
`specific protocols), via Apple’s Servers. To the extent that the claims literally cover only a
`single packet, the limitation would still be met under the doctrine of equivalents. One of
`ordinary skill in the art would readily appreciate that packetized communications can be
`subdivided into multiple packet-sizes. These packets may be further subdivided in order to
`pass over different network layers. Thus, this limitation is equivalently met by packetized
`communication transmitting the forced message.
`
`Each of the Accused Products includes or provides support for the Find My iPhone capability,
`which includes forced message alert packets as set forth above in [1D]. Furthermore, these
`packets contain a list of possible required responses and requiring the forced message alert

`acknowledgment to the sender
`PDA/cell phone as soon as said
`forced message alert is received by
`the recipient PDA/cell phone;
`
`PDA/cell phone.
`
`Touching the “done” button electronically transmits the message. Because this is a security
`feature, the recipient phones have no control over the receipt of the message and thus the
`message is “forced.” To enter “lost mode,” the sender attaches a phone number and message.
`Once the forced message is received by the recipient, an automatic acknowledgment is
`displayed by the sender cell phone. At least the phone number constitutes a list of required
`responses, i.e. to call the sender.
`
`The sender device sends a request and in response, the receiver device sends an automatic
`acknowledgement which confirms that the device is in “lost” mode and provides the
`recipient’s location. For example, even location services is turned off, “it’s temporarily turned
`on to track your device’s location.”

`Other responses include “emergency” and unlocking options such as “swipe to unlock” and

`because the receiver device is otherwise inoperable unless these responses are selected. To the
`extent this limitation is not literally met, each of these responses are at least the equivalent of a
`required response because they perform the same function (alerting the receiver device) in
`substantially the same way (locking the phone and making it otherwise unusable until one of
`the required manual actions is performed) to achieve substantially the same result (the lost
`message is conveyed to the receiver phone and responsive action is taken).

`
`Additionally, while lost mode may be disabled from apple services such as iCloud, lost mode
`cannot be disabled on the recipient device without entering the passcode. Furthermore, a
`locked iPhone may also be able to receive phone calls, but receiving a phone call does not
`affect this limitation and the phone remains otherwise locked.
`
`Required responses incorporated into Apple’s software used in the Accused Products include
`“emergency” and unlocking options such as “swipe to unlock” and “push to unlock” or
`fingerprint/ recognition. Each of these responses is a required response because the receiver
`device is otherwise inoperable unless these responses are selected. To the extent this
`limitation is not literally met, each of these responses are at least the equivalent of a required
`response because they perform the same function (alerting the receiver device) in substantially

`
`The receiver device sends an automatic acknowledgement which confirms that the device is in
`“lost” mode and provides the recipient’s location. For example, even if location services is
`turned off, “it’s temporarily turned on to track your device’s location.”

`
`The accused system of Claim 1 includes Accused Products that include a means for controlling
`of the recipient PDA/cell phone upon transmitting said automatic acknowledgment and
`causing, in cases where the force message alert is a text message, the text message and a
`response list to be shown on the display of the recipient PDA/cell phone or causes, in cases
`where the forced message alert is a voice message, the voice message being periodically
`repeated by the speakers of the recipient PDA/cell phone while said response list is shown on
`the display.
`
`This claim term is governed by 35 U.S.C. 112(6).

`while said response list is shown on
`the display;
`
`causes, in cases where the forced message alert is a voice message, the voice message being
`periodically repeated by the speakers of the recipient PDA/cell phone while said response list
`is shown on the display.
`
`Structure: Algorithm set forth in Figure 4 and 8:16-57; 11:1-21.
`
`This algorithm is implemented in software provided by Apple on the recipient phone device.
`
`AGIS relies on Patent Local Rule 3-1(g).
`
`When text message including a callback number is sent along with the forced message alert
`from the Sender to Receiver, the receiver’s device is controlled by entering “locked mode” and
`the callback number is displayed on the recipient’s screen. In cases where a voice message is
`attached to the forced message alert, receiver’s device is controlled by entering “locked mode”
`and the voice message played by the speakers of the receivers device while the response list is
`displayed on the receiver device. For example, if the Sender device activates the "voice over"
`function and then send a forced alert sound to the receiver device from find my iPhone, the
`receiving device will play that voice alert while in locked mode.
`
`For example, this limitation is met when a user of the Accused Products chooses form the
`options “play sound,” “lost mode,” or “erase phone” and following any necessary prompts.

`
`
`
`
`To the extent this claim is construed to require both voice and text, “play sound” literally
`meets the limitation of “voice message.” Furthermore, “play sound” is the equivalent of voice,
`because it performs substantially the same function (alerting users of a forced message alert) in
`substantially the same way (sound) with substantially the same result (the user alerted as to the
`forced message).
`
`The user of the Accused Products (the sender) performs the “repeated” limitation by
`continuing to use the “lost mode” feature. Periodic updates are reflected by spinning icons.
`The sender may also force an update by touching the “update” button.
