`
`6.
`
`The ’748 Patent describes a system and method for data
`
`management, in particular data collected from a remote computing device. (’748
`
`Patent, Title, Abstract.) I am familiar with the subject matter described in the ’748
`
`Patent as of the earliest possible priority date of the ’748 Patent (August 19, 2002).
`
`7.
`
`I have been asked to provide my technical review, analysis,
`
`insights and opinions regarding the ’748 Patent and the above-noted references that
`
`form the basis for the grounds of unpatentability set forth in the petition for Inter
`
`Partes Review of the ’748 Patent.
`
`B.
`
`Background and Qualifications
`
`8.
`
`My Curriculum Vitae is submitted herewith as Ex. 1006, which
`
`provides a listing of my qualifications. This includes a list of publications for the
`
`past 10 years or more.
`
`7
`
`
`
`9.
`
`My expertise qualifies me to do the type of analysis required in
`
`this case. Specifically, I have been involved in the design, implementation, testing,
`
`and analysis of computer software, firmware, and hardware for over thirty-five
`
`years, including software and hardware architecture, user interfaces, handheld
`
`devices, Global Positioning Systems (“GPS”), Internet-based questionnaires, and
`
`other networked, data-driven, client-server systems. My work has included
`
`analysis of handheld devices and Internet questionnaires including source code and
`
`user interfaces. In addition, I have practical experience in the design and
`
`programming of a variety of computer systems ranging from handheld devices, to
`
`laptops and desktop computers, to large multi-layer networked database systems.
`
`(i)
`
`Relevant Technical Experience
`
`10. As a freshman at Brigham Young University (“BYU”) in 1976,
`
`I started writing programs for IBM computers.
`
`11.
`
`In 1980, I worked with Apple II computers and wrote computer
`
`programs having graphic user interfaces.
`
`12.
`
`In the late 1960’s and 1970’s the University of Utah was known
`
`for its pioneering work in computer graphics and the Internet1. At BYU, I got
`
`involved with computer graphics and wrote graphics programs. Many of my BYU
`
`professors had been at the University of Utah during its computer science
`
`1 In 1969, the University of Utah was one of the first four nodes on the Internet.
`
`8
`
`
`
`pioneering years. One of my BYU professors, Alan Ashton, and a fellow computer
`
`science student, Bruce Bastian, worked together on word processing software with
`
`graphical display. Later, Professor Ashton and Bruce Bastian founded
`
`WordPerfect.
`
`13.
`
`I graduated with High Honors from BYU where I received a
`
`Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. My formal studies included
`
`computer architecture, computer programming, programming languages,
`
`algorithms, operating systems, database systems, and digital logic design.
`
`14.
`
`In 1981, I worked at International Business Machines (“IBM”)
`
`in San Jose, CA. At IBM, I had a graphics display on my desk and wrote programs
`
`that displayed custom graphics. During my employment at IBM, the IBM Personal
`
`Computer (“PC”) was released. The IBM PC also supported graphical user
`
`interfaces.
`
`15.
`
`In 1982, at Dialogic, I improved the performance of the
`
`Computer Aided Design (“CAD”) software.2 The CAD software used a graphical
`
`user interface.
`
`2 The software, the Lucas Drawing System, had been developed by Lucas Films to
`
`aid in the production of Star Wars.
`
`9
`
`
`
`16.
`
`In this timeframe, I had experience with Tandy computers,
`
`including the TRS-80, and with Commodore VIC 20 computers, which supported
`
`graphical user interfaces.
`
`17.
`
`In 1984, I started writing programs for the Apple Lisa and
`
`Macintosh, which had a sophisticated graphical user interface built into the
`
`firmware and operating system.
`
`18.
`
`I developed a Macintosh program that drew graphical icons (or
`
`polygons) on the display.3
`
`19. Next in 1986, I started consulting at Hewlett Packard (“HP”)
`
`where I became familiar with standard printer description languages and graphic
`
`command languages. During this time I used X-Windows.
`
`20.
`
`Later, from 1988 through 1990, at Tandem (later Compaq, now
`
`HP), I worked with CAD systems and hardware simulators, which used graphical
`
`user interfaces and included pop-up windows that provided textual representations
`
`of values related to graphical displays.
`
`3 An article regarding the software was published in MacWorld Magazine around
`
`February 1987. A review was published in 1990 by the Boston Computer Society,
`
`which also showed various features of the user interface. See
`
`http://www.wolfpup.org/misc/MacBaby_Math_review.pdf.
`
`10
`
`
`
`21.
`
`In 1990, I authored portions of the Macintosh Programming
`
`Fundamentals: Self-paced Training course interactive CD-ROM and lab book.
`
`22.
`
`I returned to HP in 1991 where I worked with diagnostic tools,
`
`including exercises and verifiers. During this period, I was involved in testing
`
`various graphics adapters and display devices throughout the HP product line. I
`
`worked with an X-Windows based diagnostic tool that displayed an icon for every
`
`component of the system. The number, type, and locations of the icons were based
`
`on the components actually found in the system. The icons were dynamically
`
`changed to represent the status of the testing.
`
`23.
`
`In 1991 and 1992, at Slate and Apple, I worked with the pen-
`
`based tablets and handheld computers, including the NCR tablet and Newton PDA.
`
`24.
`
`In 1993 and 1994, I taught classes for Mentor Graphics to
`
`hardware designers regarding hardware simulation and design verification
`
`software. Mentor Graphics’ CAD system had the features discussed above
`
`regarding CAD software. In addition, I taught users how to customize CAD
`
`software to perform complex custom operations based on a single action with a
`
`user input device.
`
`25.
`
`In 1993 and 1994, at Apple I worked with the Apple Media
`
`Tool team and the SK8 team, which included working with state-of-the-art graphic
`
`display systems.
`
`11
`
`
`
`26.
`
`In the early 1990s, before the World Wide Web became
`
`commercialized, multimedia technology was becoming state-of-the art. During this
`
`time, interactive CD-ROMs, early commercial Internet sites, high-resolution color
`
`animation, and digital video were state-of-the-art technologies. While at The Carl
`
`Group, I formed the Multimedia Lab whose projects included porting a program to
`
`automate layout of ball grid assemblies (BGA), updating automatic test equipment
`
`software to use state-of-the-art graphical user interfaces, developing graphic
`
`animations, developing multimedia authoring tools, and various interactive CD-
`
`ROM titles. My work with multimedia authoring tools included developing low-
`
`level graphics software for both the Macintosh and IBM PC platforms.
`
`27. We sold our multimedia authoring tools to the public and I
`
`developed an interactive user interface, which allowed users to enter and confirm
`
`information including prices and quantities, which resulted in an order being sent
`
`to our server. Part of the data collected from remote users was their location.
`
`28. Also in the mid-1990s, we developed a database driven, on-
`
`demand catalog publish system for Sun, which allowed users to configure and
`
`order products via a graphical user interface. At Sun, I used workstations using
`
`Open Look, which was a graphical user interface based on pioneering work at
`
`Xerox PARC, and which was competitive with X-Windows which was being used
`
`by HP.
`
`12
`
`
`
`29. During this time period, we developed a data driven
`
`questionnaire system for Sun regarding Java. The system would present a question
`
`to a remote user and collect an answer. Then based on the answer given, a
`
`subsequent question would be presented, until all the information that was desired
`
`was collected. The data collected from the remote users were stored in a database
`
`and we provided various reports from this data.
`
`30.
`
`In the mid-1990s, I developed a medical communications
`
`device that could transmit medical quality video images over the Internet in real
`
`time. This work included developing various graphical user interfaces. I have
`
`patents on some of this technology as discussed below.
`
`31. During this time, I was familiar with the graphical user
`
`interfaces in various medical devices. These included EKG, ultrasound, and
`
`medical records systems.
`
`32.
`
`Prior to Nov. 2001, I was a promoter of a startup company
`
`called Research Runner. Research Runner was an expansion of a business called
`
`Retail Runner, Inc. Retail Runner used map and location data to determine the
`
`best route for a merchandizer, for example Lloyd’s BBQ, to use to visit multiple
`
`stores in multiple cities. Location information would be used to determine the best
`
`route and would generate a set of instructions including a map. A questionnaire
`
`would be provided for each location. While taking the assessment of each
`
`13
`
`
`
`location, a series of questions would be answered. The results of the questionnaire
`
`would be interpreted by a computer and stored in a database.
`
`33. Research Runner designed a data driven Internet questionnaire
`
`system that could be used for the Retail Runner business but also expanded to
`
`collect a broad range of data for many applications including market research,
`
`online test taking, customer service questionnaires, in addition to the
`
`merchandizing and mystery-shopper-type applications.
`
`34. As part of designing the Research Runner platform, I met with
`
`a market research firm in San Francisco and reviewed their computerized
`
`questionnaire design and deployment system.
`
`35. As part of developing the Research Runner business plan, I
`
`reviewed information regarding any potential competitors and thus did a review of
`
`the types of Internet based survey systems available prior to 2001.
`
`36. Retail Runner, Inc. filed two provisional patent applications on
`
`May 8, 2000, and two patent applications on May 8, 2001, all of which have been
`
`assigned to me. See U.S. Patent Applications 09/851,624 and 09/852,257.
`
`37.
`
`I am also familiar with the concept of a mystery shopper as
`
`discussed in the ‘748 Patent. In the 1980s, my wife and I were mystery shoppers.
`
`One of the restaurants we assessed and for which we reported data was Chick-fil-
`
`A®.
`
`14
`
`
`
`38.
`
`Prior to December 26, 2001, I designed and developed the
`
`BoomerangIt.com system, a data driven Internet based system for collecting data
`
`from remote users. The BoomerangIt.com system allowed tracking of assets, and
`
`if those assets were lost or stolen, provided a means for law enforcement or other
`
`finders to report information regarding the found items and their locations,
`
`facilitating the return of the found items to their owners. On December 26, 2001, I
`
`filed U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60/344,740. The resulting U.S. Patent
`
`7,424,473 (“BoomerangIt Patent”) states, “the user provides information regarding
`
`the lost (or found) incident, such as location, date and time.” The BoomerangIt
`
`Patent also described providing the user with a series of questions with tokenized
`
`answers for describing the attributes of an item, and using a token as a “universal
`
`code” for describing an attribute of an item, such as a code for the a color which
`
`would be displayed as “rojo,” “rouge,” or “red” based on the location, such as
`
`Peru, France, or England.
`
`39.
`
`In many of these professional assignments, I analyzed the
`
`architecture, function, and operation of software with graphical user interfaces.
`
`40.
`
`Prior to being retained in this matter, I acquired and performed
`
`forensic analysis of several computer systems. From 1999 to 2002, I performed the
`
`technical analysis of both copyright and trade secrets in the Tradescape.com, Inc.,
`
`et al. v. Shivaram, et al. cases. In those cases, I reviewed the source code and
`
`15
`
`
`
`operations of market-leading day trading systems and illicit copies. This is one
`
`example of a complex system with networked-based client server architectures,
`
`including graphical user interfaces and data collection from multiple remote users
`
`and sources.
`
`41.
`
`In 2007, I performed the technical analysis of database systems
`
`that used GPS to determine locations in APS Technology Group, Inc. v. Paceco
`
`Corporation.
`
`42.
`
`I am familiar with handheld devices including the electronic
`
`components and source code for using 6-axis and 9-axis sensors and GPS for
`
`determining locations and positions.
`
`43.
`
`Further, I have extensive experience in designing, developing
`
`and analyzing database, networked systems and their user interfaces. As a result, I
`
`have had access to the type of components and information at issue in this case and
`
`have contemporaneous knowledge of what was publicly known.
`
`(ii)
`
`Patent Experience
`
`44. My Curriculum Vitae, which is provided as Ex. 1006, identifies
`
`over 85 issued patents and over 85 published patent applications for which I am
`
`listed as an inventor or assignee. Several of my inventions include graphical user
`
`interfaces, networked client-server systems, and the use of handheld devices
`
`including GPS and accelerometers, to determine locations and positions, including:

`
`45.
`
`I have reviewed and analyzed numerous patents and prior art
`
`systems through my work in litigation support, including patents and prior art
`
`17
`
`
`
`related to the architecture and operation of computer systems including graphics. I
`
`have taken a number of courses offered by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
`
`(“PTO”) and the Sunnyvale Center for Innovation, Inventions, and Ideas (Sc[i]3).
`
`(iii) Technical Expert
`
`46. Both Federal and State Courts have recognized me as an expert
`
`in computer systems including computer software, graphical user interfaces,
`
`computer architecture, computer hardware, database systems, networks, and
`
`computer forensic science.
`
`47.
`
`In addition, I served as a Special Master in a Federal District
`
`Court in Paycom Payroll, LLC v. Richison and Period Financial, which involved
`
`financial systems with graphical user interfaces. I have served as a court-appointed
`
`expert in San Jose, CA in Aspect Communications Corporation v. eConvergent,
`
`Inc. et al., which involved financial systems with graphical user interfaces, and in
`
`Ribeiro v. Weichselbaumer, which involved financial and graphical analysis.

`
`hotel rooms. Many of these systems allowed for available commodities to be
`
`displayed in order of price or other values.

`
`interactive television system that included an interactive graphical user interface.
