`users retrieved information in an audio form via said voice enabled device, said system comprising:"
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 2031.
`
`The Webley Assistant is based on source code that predates the Kovatch reference. For example, the mc_vm.c, which is
`the main source code file for the Webley Assistant, has a date of last being modified 12/31/1999:

`users retrieved information in an audio form via said voice enabled device, said system comprising:"
`
`Ex. 2025 at lines 1-18.
`
`Further, the Webley System retrieves information from pre-selected web sites by uttering speech commands into a voice
`enabled device and for providing to users retrieved information in an audio form via said voice enabled deivce. For
`example, the mc_vm.c source code file includes a “getWeather()” function that further calls a “webget.pl” PERL module
`using weather as an argument:

`
`Ex. 2025 at lines 13,607-13,641.
`
`The webget.pl PERL script, which was last modified on 12/13/1999, determines that the service is “weather” because it
`was an argument and reads in a weather.ini content descriptor:

`users retrieved information in an audio form via said voice enabled device, said system comprising:"
`
`Ex. 2032 at lines 1-10 and 24-31.
`
`The weather.ini file includes a plurality of pre-selected web site addresses, each web site address identifying a web site
`address identifying a web site containing weather information to be retrieved. For example, the weather.ini file included
`URLs, or web site addresses, for cnn.com, lycos.com, weather.com, snap.com, and infospace.com:

`users retrieved information in an audio form via said voice enabled device, said system comprising:"
`
`Ex. 2033 at lines 1-4, 63-68, 121-124, 183-186, and 241-245.
`
`A user would utter speech commands into the telephone, which is a voice enabled device. The Webley Assistant used
`licensed Automatic Speech Recognition (“ASR”) software from Nuance to understand the speech commands. The
`Webley Assistant used Nuance’s version 6.11 ASR software:
`
`Ex. 2025 at lines 68-71.
`
`After uttering the commands, such as “weather,” into the phone, the Webley Assistant would retrieve the information
`from a pre-selected web site and then convert the textual information into audio by using the Lernout & Hauspie TTS
`software. Evidence demonstrating that Lernout & Hauspie TTS was being used can be found in the mc_vm.c file which
`includes the “app_lnhtts.h” which was a Lernout & Hauspie file that included internal TTS definitions:
`
`Ex. 2025 at lines 43-50.
`
`The Webley Assistant would convert the retrieved textual information into audio form and would provide the information
`to the user via the telephone.

`
`For example, the Webley Assistant, which is part of the Webley System, did not need to be trained to identify the speaker.
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 2031.
`
`Further, the Webley System licensed Nuance’s Speech Recognition System, which was a speaker-independent recognition
`system.

`"[1.d] at least one speech synthesis device, said speech synthesis device operatively connected to said computer and to said voice enabled device;"
`[1.d] at least one speech
`The Webley Assistant includes at least one speech synthesis device, said speech synthesis device operatively connected to
`synthesis device, said speech
`said computer and to said voice enabled device.
`synthesis device operatively
`connected to said computer
`and to said voice enabled
`device;
`
`For example, the Webley System licensed its speech synthesis, or Text-To-Speech (“TTS”), from a leading speech industry
`vendor called Lernout and Hauspie, or (“L&H”).
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 2037.
`
`The Webley Assistant used Lernout and Hauspie’s RealSpeak natural sounding TTS by at least July 12, 1999. Ex. 2038.
`The RealSpeak TTS allowed the Webley Assistant to provide a natural sounding voice to read emails allowed as well as
`perform other functions. Id.
`
`An inspection of the source code demonstrates that the Webley System used the L&H package for speech synthesis. For
`example, in the source code file mc_vm.c, which was last modified on 12/31/1999, in the include files, one can see that the
`Webley System included “app_lnhtts.h” which was a L&H file that included the internal TTS definitions.

`
`Further in the same source code file, in the C-code subroutine “stringToSpeech(),” it accepts a text buffer as a parameter
`and uses a L&H library function to convert that text buffer into an audio file in the proper format, and then plays back the
`file to the user.

`
`The speech synthesis device, the licensed L&H speech synthesis libraries, were operatively connected to said computer
`because they were running on the computer. The speech synthesis device was further operatively connected to said voice
`enabled device because the TTS files were then played back to the user through the Webley Assistant.

`
`The weather.ini file includes a plurality of pre-selected web site addresses, each web site address identifying a web site

`recognition grammar
`corresponding to each said
`instruction set and
`corresponding to a speech
`command; said speech
`command comprising an
`information request
`selectable by the user;
`
`For example, the Webley System licensed Nuance’s Speech Recognition System which includes at least one recognition
`grammar.
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 2024.
`
`Nuance featured Webley’s use of Nuance 6 on its web site.
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 2039.
`
`The Webley Assistant used recognition grammars for recognizing commands. For example, the menuProto.grammar,
`which was last modified on January 8, 2000, was a prototype grammar for the Webley Assistant:
`
`23
`
`Parus Exhibit 2027, Page 23 of 51
`
`
`
`U.S. Patent No. 7,076,431: Claim 1
`"[1.f] at least one recognition grammar associated with said computer, each said recognition grammar corresponding to each said instruction set and
`corresponding to a speech command; said speech command comprising an information request selectable by the user;"
`
`See, e.g., Ex. 2040 at 1-11.
`
`The Webley Assistant used both static and dynamic grammars. Static grammars would be developed in advance
`(normally one per particular interaction dialog) and included into one or more grammar source files such as
`menuNew.grammar. These files would be compiled in advance, and then at run-time loaded into the speech recognition
`engine (Nuance engine in the Webley case) memory during the engine start. Each static grammar contained in a given
`grammar file would be referenced by its assigned name within the Webley Assistant application before the application
`enters the corresponding speech dialog with the user.
`
`The menuProto.grammar includes several sub-grammars that correspond to instruction sets and to speech commands
`including the weather sub-grammar, “MENU90.”
`
`Ex. 2040 at lines 201-215.

`"[1.f] at least one recognition grammar associated with said computer, each said recognition grammar corresponding to each said instruction set and
`corresponding to a speech command; said speech command comprising an information request selectable by the user;"
`
`When a user utters the “weather” command the Nuance ASR would determine the command is weather and the weather
`instruction set would be called. For example, in the login_vmail() function, the command is determined and then a long
`switch statement is iterated through looking for the matching command:
`
`Ex. 2025 at lines 1816-1817.
`
`Ex. 2025 at lines 2226-2227.
`
`At line 2766, the weather command is matched to case “MD_WEATHER.” Although the getWeather() function is
`commented out in this code, it demonstrates that it was working as of the date of the mc_vm.c file which was last
`modified 12/31/1999.
`
`Ex. 2025 at lines 2766-2775.
`
`In the mcall.h file we see that “MD_WEATHER” is command option 194, which is what the MENU90 sub-grammar
`returned.

`
`Ex. 2041 at 505-517.
`
`Once the weather command is matched, the weather instruction set is called with the getWeather() call. Although the
`getWeather() function is commented out in this code, it demonstrates that it was working as of the date of the mc_vm.c
`file which was last modified 12/31/1999.

`
`For example, as previously discussed, in the Webley System, the speaker-independent speech recognition device, the
`licensed Nuance ASR, receives speech commands from the user via the Webley Assistant, and the corresponding static or
`dynamic recognition grammar is selected. The following is the example of the Webley System using a dynamic grammar:
`
`The menuProto.grammar is a static grammar that includes the weather sub-grammar called “MENU90.” When a user
`utters the “weather” command the Nuance ASR would select the weather sub-grammar, MENU90, from the menuProto
`grammar.
`
`Ex. 2040 at lines 201-215.
`
`Once the requisite weather parameters are filled in, the MENU90 sub-grammar returns command option 194. In the
`login_vmail() function, the command is determined and then a long switch statement is iterated through looking for the
`matching command:

`"[1.j] said computer configured to first access said first web site of said plurality of web sites and, if said information to be retrieved is not found at said first
`web site, said computer configured to sequentially access said plurality of web sites until said information to be retrieved is found or until said plurality of
`web sites has been accessed;"
`The Webley System includes said computer configured to first access said first web site of said plurality of web sites and,
`if said information to be retrieved is not found at said first web site, said computer configured to sequentially access said
`plurality of web sites until said information to be retrieved is found or until said plurality of web sites has been accessed.

`said information to be
`retrieved is not found at said
`first web site, said computer
`configured to sequentially
`access said plurality of web
`sites until said information to
`be retrieved is found or until
`said plurality of web sites
`has been accessed;
`
`For example, as discussed in the last claim limitation, the process_section subroutine of the webget.pl PERL script
`accesses the first web site. In the webget.pl PERL script, the process_section subroutine is in a do-while loop:
`
`Ex. 2032 at lines 24-31.
`
`After the URL is accessed, the result is filtered by a regular expression, and if the information is not found the subroutine
`is exited with a non-zero value for $section, and the do-while continues on to the next iteration:
`
`Ex. 2032 at lines 130-145.
`
`At the next iteration of the do-while loop the process_section subroutine is called again, and the subroutine moves to the
`next URL and accesses it for the said weather information to be retrieved:

`any retrieved information
`from said pre-selected web
`sites, and said speech
`synthesis device further
`configured to transmit said
`audio message to said users
`via said voice enabled
`device.
`
`For example, as discussed above, after the getWeather() function obtains the weather, it calls the stringToSpeech() function
`that accepts the weather information as a text buffer as a parameter and uses a L&H library function to convert that text
`buffer into an audio file in the proper format, and then plays back the file to the user.
