`
`The present application is being examined under the pre-AlA first to invent
`
`provisions.
`

`
`Claims 25-80 are pending in this office action.
`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
`
`3.
`
`The following is a quotation of the first paragraph of 35 U.S.C. 112(a):
`
`(a) IN GENERAL.-The specification shall contain a written description of the
`invention, and of the manner and process of making and using it, in such full, clear, concise,
`and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it
`is most nearly connected, to make and use the same, and shall set forth the best mode
`contemplated by the inventor or joint inventor of carrying out the invention.
`
`The following is a quotation of the first paragraph of pre-AlA 35 U.S.C. 112:
`
`The specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the
`manner and process of making and using it, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to
`enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly
`connected, to make and use the same, and shall set forth the best mode contemplated by the
`inventor of carrying out his invention.
`
`4.
`
`Claims 25-80 rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(a) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AlA), first
`
`paragraph, as failing to comply with the written description requirement. The
`
`claim(s) contains subject matter which was not described in the specification in such a
`
`way as to reasonably convey to one skilled in the relevant art that the inventor or a joint
`
`inventor, or for pre-AlA the inventor(s), at the time the application was filed, had
`
`possession of the claimed invention.
`
`Bradium Exhibit 2052

`IPR2018-00952
`Page 4 of 43
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 15/457,816
`Art Unit: 2455
`
`Page 3
`
`5.
`
`Claim 25 and each other independent disclose in part:
`
`a.
`
`"the wireless mobile device stores the first image parcel and the second
`
`image parcel received by the wireless mobile device in a local store of the
`
`wireless mobile device"
`
`b.
`
`"the local store configured as an embedded server to provide access to at
`
`least some image parcels received by the wireless mobile device, the at least
`
`some image parcels comprising the first image parcel and the second image
`
`parcel"
`
`This subject matter is not sufficiently described in the specification. Page 8 of the
`
`specification, in relation to the description of Fig. 1, states "Alternately, a dedicated
`
`function client system 20 may be connected through a separate or plug-in local network
`
`server 22, preferably implementing a small, embedded Web server, to a fixed or
`
`removable storage local image repository 24." This description of the embedded server
`
`notably indicates it is a "local network server". This is further supported in the depiction
`
`of Fig. 1 showing item 22 as being distinct from the client system 20. There is no further
`
`description of an embedded server in the specification.
`
`Fig. 3 and Page 11 of the specification indicates the client system may have a
`
`"local parcel data store 46". The specification does not indicate this local parcel data
`
`store being configured as an embedded server. Particularly, the specification does not
`
`state at any point that this local data store of the client is configured as an embedded
`
`server to provide access to image parcels to the client. There is no suggestion that the
`
`Bradium Exhibit 2052
`Unified Patents Inc. v. Bradium Technologies LLC
`IPR2018-00952
`Page 5 of 43
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 15/457,816
`Art Unit: 2455
`
`Page 4
`
`client system is making requests for image data to an embedded process on the client
`
`system.
`
`For these reason, this subject matter is not described in the specification in such
`
`a way as to reasonably convey to one skilled in the relevant art that the inventor or a
`
`joint inventor, or for pre-AlA the inventor(s), at the time the application was filed, had
`
`possession of the claimed invention.
`
`6.
`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(b):
`(b) CONCLUSION.-The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly
`pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor
`regards as the invention.
`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AlA), second paragraph:
`The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly
`claiming the subject matter which the applicant regards as his invention.
`
`7.
`
`Claims 25-80 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C.112 (pre-AlA),
`
`second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly point out and
`
`distinctly claim the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor, or for
`
`pre-AlA the applicant regards as the invention.
`
`8.
`
`Claims 25 and each independent claim make reference to a local data store of
`
`the wireless device with the local data store being configured as an embedded server.
`
`As indicated in the 112(a) rejection above, the specification makes a distinction between
`
`an embedded server that is a local network server and a local parcel data store that is
`
`part of the client system. It is unclear in the independent claims as to which
`
`embodiment applicant intends to claim, a local network server or a data store of the
`
`device. This applies to each dependent claim.

`
`For the purpose of examination, the examiner will interpret the claimed "local
`
`store" as being the described "local parcel data store" of the specification.
`
`10.
`
`Claim 28 recites the limitation "number of parallel requests" in line 1. There is
`
`insufficient antecedent basis for this limitation in the claim. Claims 42, 56 and 70 are
`
`similarly deficient.
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
`
`11.
`
`The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of pre-AlA 35 U.S.C.
`
`102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:
`
`A person shall be entitled to a patent unless -
`
`(b) the invention was patented or described in a printed publication in this or a foreign country
`or in public use or on sale in this country, more than one year prior to the date of application
`for patent in the United States.
`
`12. Claim(s) 25-30, 32-34, 37-44, 46-48, 51-58, 60-62, 65-72, 74-76, and 79-80
`
`is/are rejected under pre-AlA 35 U.S.C. 102(b) as being anticipated by
`
`"TerraVision II: Visualizing Massive Terrain Databases in VRML" by Reddy et al.
`
`(Reddy).
`
`13.
`
`Examiner's Note: This rejection based on Reddy is made with reference to the
`
`various Petitions for Inter Partes Review in the related issued Patents. Consideration of
`
`and response to this rejection should be made in light of the support and evidence
`
`Bradium Exhibit 2052
`Unified Patents Inc. v. Bradium Technologies LLC
`IPR2018-00952
`Page 7 of 43
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 15/457,816
`Art Unit: 2455
`
`Page 6
`
`provided in each of these Petitions. Based on the broader scope of the instant claims,
`
`the Hornbacker reference was not deemed necessary for the rejection.
`
`14. With respect to claim 25, Reddy teaches a method of communicating images
`
`for display, the method comprising steps of: providing client software to a wireless
`
`mobile device (Reddy Paragraph 48 laptop);
`
`processing data of a source image to obtain a series (Ko K1-n) of related images
`
`of progressively lower detail level, wherein each related image of the series (k k1-n)
`
`comprises image data and is subdivided into a regular array of non-overlapping image
`
`parcels, each image parcel of each regular array of the image parcels forming a discrete
`
`portion of the source image, the step of processing the data of the source image being
`
`performed by one or more servers (Paragraph 52, 12-16, Fig. 1);
`
`receiving a first request at the one or more servers from the wireless mobile
`
`device over a network communication channel, the first request being for a first image
`
`parcel of the series, wherein the first image parcel is selected based on a first user-
`
`controlled viewing frustum on the wireless mobile device relative to the source image in
`
`a three dimensional space (Reddy Paragraph 2-3,13-17,21,38,42 Fig. 1b, 5);
`
`sending the first image parcel from the one or more servers to the wireless
`
`mobile device over the network communication channel, in response to the first request
`
`(Paragraph 19,21,22,26,52);
`
`receiving a second request at the one or more servers from the wireless mobile
`
`device over the network communication channel, the second request being tor a second
`
`image parcel of the series, wherein the second image parcel is selected based on the
`
`Bradium Exhibit 2052

`IPR2018-00952
`Page 8 of 43
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 15/457,816
`Art Unit: 2455
`
`Page 7
`
`first user-controlled viewing frustum, the step of receiving the second request being
`
`performed after the step of receiving the first request (Paragraph 3, 36-38); and
`
`sending the second image parcel from the one or more servers to the wireless
`
`mobile device over the network communication channel, in response to the second
`
`request (Paragraph 19,21,22,26,52);
`
`wherein:
`
`the wireless mobile device renders at least a portion of the first image parcel
`
`before finishing receiving the second image parcel (Fig. 1,3, paragraph 19-21,44);
`
`the wireless mobile device stores the first image parcel and the second image
`
`parcel received by the wireless mobile device in a local store of the wireless mobile
`
`device (Paragraph 14, 16);
`
`the first user-controlled viewing frustum is determined based on navigational
`
`input of the wireless mobile device (Paragraph 3, 34-38);
`
`the local store configured as an embedded server to provide access to at least
`
`some image parcels received by the wireless mobile device, the at least some image
`
`parcels comprising the first image parcel and the second image parcel (Paragraph 19-
`
`21,44 - based on the 112 rejections, the examiner interprets the local store as being
`
`the local parcel data store of the spec. the local data storage of Reddy provides access
`
`to the image data just as the local parcel data store of the spec ); and

`
`image parcels are selectively removed from the local store to free memory for
`
`newly requested parcels (Paragraph 12-17, multiresolution terrain techniques will
`
`determine what data is kept for the current viewpoint and/or other criteria).
`
`15. With respect to claim 26, Reddy teaches the method of claim 25 wherein the
`
`wireless mobile device issues the first request and the second request according to a
`
`priority order that is determined according to priority values assigned to requests for
`
`image parcels; and priority of the second request in the priority order is not higher than
`
`priority of the first request in the priority order (Paragraph 12-17 VRML Priority based
`
`on user viewpoint)
`
`16. With respect to claim 27, Reddy teaches the method of claim 25, wherein the
`
`navigation input comprises three-dimensional positional coordinate data and rotational
`
`positional data (Paragraph 27, 34-39)
`
`17. With respect to claim 28, Reddy teaches the method of claim 25, wherein
`
`number of parallel requests by the wireless mobile device for image parcels of the
`
`series is determined based at least in part on network response latency and available
`
`system resources, thereby enabling efficient use of network bandwidth in conditions of
`
`network latency (Paragraph 44-48)
`
`18. With respect to claim 29, Reddy teaches the method of claim 25, further
`
`comprising sending overlay data by the one or more servers to the wireless mobile
`
`device over the network communication channel (Paragraph 22-26)

`
`19. With respect to claim 30, Reddy teaches the method of claim 29, wherein the
`
`overlay data comprises text annotations relating to at least one item selected from the
`
`group consisting of; one or more street names, one or more building names, and one or
`
`more landmarks (Paragraph 22-26)
`
`20. With respect to claim 32, Reddy teaches the method of claim 30, wherein the
`
`overlay data are in a proprietary binary representation (Paragraph 22-26).
`
`21. With respect to claim 33, Reddy teaches the method of claim 25 wherein the
`
`wireless mobile device issues the first request and the second request according to a
`
`priority order based at least in part on viewable area corresponding to the first user-
`
`controlled viewing frustum. (Paragraph 13-17 VRML Priority based on user viewpoint)
`
`22. With respect to claim 34, Reddy teaches the method of claim 25 wherein the
`
`mobile device issues the first request and the second request according to a priority
`
`order based at least in part on resolutions of the first image parcel and the second
`
`image parcel (Paragraph 3, 13-17)
`
`23. With respect to claim 37, Reddy teaches wherein the wireless mobile device is
`
`configured to preferentially remove from the local store image parcels that are furthest
`
`from current viewing frustum (Paragraph 12-17).
`
`24. With respect to claim 38, Reddy teaches wherein the wireless mobile device is
`
`configured to remove from the local store child image parcels before respective parent
`
`image parcels (Paragraph 12-17).
`
`25.
`
`Claims 39-44, 46-48, 51-52, Claims 53-58,60-62,65-66, and Claims 67-72, 74-
`
`76, 79-80 are similar in scope to claims 25-30, 23-34 and 37-29 respectively.

`
`Accordingly these claims are rejected based on the same rationale as claims 25-30, 23-
`
`34 and 37-29 as presented above.
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
`
`26.
`
`The following is a quotation of pre-AlA 35 U.S.C. 1 03(a) which forms the basis
`
`for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
`
`(a) A patent may not be obtained though the invention is not identically disclosed or described
`as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the subject matter sought to be patented
`and the prior art are such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the
`time the invention was made to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which said subject
`matter pertains. Patentability shall not be negatived by the manner in which the invention was
`made.
`
`27. Claims 31, 45, 59 and 73 is/are rejected under pre-AlA 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as
`
`being unpatentable over Applicant's admitted prior art (APA).
`
`28. With respect to claim 31, Reddy does not explicitly teach wherein the overlay
`
`data are in an XML format.
`
`29.
`
`However, Applicant indicates that representing geographic information in XML
`
`based encoding is known through GML, an XML based encoding standard for
`
`geographic information developed by OpenGIS Consortium (See Page 10 of Applicant's
`
`specification) .
`
`30.
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time the
`
`invention was made to have the overlay data of Reddy represented in an XML format as
`
`taught by APA. Using a known standard for representing geographic information for
`
`providing a predictable result of encoding geographic overlay information of Reddy
`
`would have been obvious.

`
`31.
`
`Claims 45, 59 and 73 are similar in scope to claim 31 and rejected based on the
`
`same rationale.
`
`32.
`
`Claims 35, 36, 49, 50, 63, 64,77 and 78 are rejected under pre-AlA 35 U.S.C.
`
`103(a) as being unpatentable over Reddy as applied to claim 25 above, and
`
`further in view of US 7,324,228 by Chiarabini et al. (Chiarabini).
`
`33. With respect to claim 35, Reddy teaches the method of claim 25 but does not
`
`explicitly disclose the first and second requests are sent from the wireless mobile device
`
`using different threads.
`
`34.
`
`Chiarabini teaches the use of parallel download threads where the number of
`
`parallel threads can be adjusted to download image data more efficiently (Col. 3 lines
`
`27-43 and Col. 9 line 46 to Col. 10 line 15)
`
`35.
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time the
`
`invention was made to have the image downloads of Reddy be multi threaded as taught
`
`by Chiarabini. One would be motivated to have this as it is desirable to improve
`
`download performance.
`
`36.
`
`Claims 36, 49, 50, 63, 64, 77 and 78 are similar in scope to claim 35 and are
`
`rejected based on the same rationale. Chiarabini also uses a thread pool Col. 9 line 46
`
`to Col. 10 line 15.
