`Exhibit O5: Prior Art References Under 35 U.S.C. § 103
`
`
`To the extent that Plaintiff asserts that any reference charted in these Invalidity Contentions does not disclose a given patent claim
`element, it would have been obvious to combine such reference with the knowledge of a person of ordinary skill in the art, any of the
`references identified herein as disclosing the element, Applicant’s Admitted Prior Art, and/or the additional prior art references in
`Exhibits E1-E14, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into this chart. One of ordinary skill in the art would have
`been motivated to, and would have understood how to, combine any of these disclosures based on the background knowledge of a
`person of ordinary skill in the art and the teachings from these references, as well as the exemplary motivations identified in these
`Invalidity Contentions.
`
`To the extent 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶6 applies to any of the claim limitations of the Asserted Claims, the art cited herein also discloses the
`corresponding structure(s) and function(s) claimed or their equivalents, as shown below, or renders them obvious in view of the
`knowledge of one skilled in the art.

`signal has been sent, the computer displays a disconnect message to the user on a display, as
`indicated by block 104. In one embodiment, this disconnect message confirms that the user wants to
`disconnect the external data storage device.”); see also FIG. 4.

`computer logically severs the external data storage device from the computer if the external data
`storage device was not previously logically severed. In one embodiment, logically severing the
`external storage device comprises removing the external data storage device from a computer's
`file system, as indicated in block 118. In one embodiment, the computer will then notify the user that
`the user can now safely disconnect the external data storage device without risk of data loss, as

`user indicating that it is safe to disconnect the external data storage device from the computer.”)
`HDMI Specification:
`1 (This document constitutes the specification for the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI),
`version 1.3a. The High-Definition Multimedia Interface is provided for transmitting digital
`television audiovisual signals from DVD players, set-top boxes and other audiovisual sources to
`television sets, projectors and other video displays. HDMI can carry high quality multi-channel
`audio data and can carry all standard and highdefinition consumer electronics video formats. Content

`CEC 24 (“When the user has specifically sent the currently active device only to standby (eg as
`the result of a user action using the device’s local control, such as its own remote controller), it
`should send an <Inactive Source> message with its own Physical Address as an operand. It is a
`manufacturer decision to decide the TV’s response: it may, for example, display its own internal

`tuner, or select another device for display. In these cases, the TV should send a new <Active
`Source> message with its own physical address (0.0.0.0, when displaying its own internal tuner), or
`send a <Set Stream Path> to a new device for display. Note that an <Inactive Source> message can
`also be sent when the Source Device has no video to be presented to the user, even if the device is not
`in the standby state.
`In the case that the user manually switches a CEC Switch it shall broadcast a <Routing Change>
`message (see below for exceptions with non-HDMI sources). This will inform all devices in the
`network that the current active route below the Switch has changed. The device that has been
`deselected by a Switch loses its active source status and enables it, for instance, to pause if it is playing
`media.”)
`CEC 27 (“Devices can ignore <Standby> messages if they are in a state where going into standby
`is not the appropriate action or due to device limitations it is not possible to go to the Standby
`state. For example:
`� The device is recording;
`� The device only has a mechanical power switch;
`� It only provides limited facilities for external control of its power;
`� The Standby function is disabled;
`� It is a device, such as a PC, which is performing other functions that should be left running;
`� High priority services, such as the reception of emergency announcements or similar, shall
`continue.”); see also 53.e. HDMI can also carry control and status information in both directions.); see

`2:40-48 (“In one embodiment, the present invention is implemented as a method for restoring
`display output to a display device (e.g., LCD display, projection TV display, plasma display, and
`the like). The method includes detecting a display device connection change (e.g., connection or
`disconnection) on an output connector (e.g., HDMI, DVI, and the like) and in response output settings
`(e.g., resolution and/or refresh rate) are changed to a compatible output mode (e.g., NTSC standard
`480i, etc.) on the connected output connector.”)
