`
`PETITIONER’S NOTICE FOR FILING TWO PETITIONS

`
`Petitioner’s Notice for Filing Two Petitions
`IPR2020-00905 & IPR2020-00906 / US Pat. No. 10,225,479
`Pursuant to the Consolidated Trial Practice Guide November 2019,
`
`Petitioner submits this paper to aid the Board’s understanding of why two petitions
`
`are needed to challenge validity of U.S. Patent No. 10,225,479 (“the ’479 Patent”).
`
`I.
`
`Petition’s Preference for Consideration
`
`Petitioner believes that both petitions should be instituted but ranks them in
`
`the following order for consideration:
`
`Preference
`1
`
`Petition
`Petition 1: IPR2020-00906
`
`Claims
`19-22
`
`2
`
`Petition 2: IPR2020-00905
`
`1-16, 18, 23-38, 40
`
`II. Why Both Petitions Should be Instituted
`
`Both Petitions should be instituted here because the non-overlapping
`
`claims recite different image processing techniques performed by different camera
`
`systems. While all of the claims are directed to a dual-lens camera with wide and
`
`telephoto lenses (1) having overlapping fields of view (FOV) and (2) an autofocus
`
`mechanism providing each lens with separate focusing control, the cameras
`
`perform different image processing steps.
`
`The first camera in claim 19 performs a method that includes (1)
`
`controlling the autofocus mechanism, (2) calculating a depth map by finding
`
`corresponding points between the images to determine depth information, and (3)
`
`creating a fused image that mimics a portrait photo captured with a DSLR lens

`suitable for creating a bokeh effect (i.e., principle subject in focus with a blurred
`
`background).
`
`The second camera in claims 1 and 23 performs a different method that
`
`includes (1) controlling the autofocus mechanism and (2) outputting a fused image
`
`where just in-focus objects from the telephoto image are fused with the wide image
`
`by mapping pixels that correspond to the object to corresponding pixels in the wide
`
`image. The Parulski reference describes this as “broadening” the output image’s
`
`depth of field. The overlapping dependent claims recite additional image
`
`processing steps and camera specifications.
`
`Petition 1 challenges the first camera in claims 19-22 as obvious over
`
`Parulski, Ogata, Kawamura, and Soga; relying on Parulski to show prior art
`
`disclosure of the camera and the first two method steps, Ogata for the wide lens,
`
`Kawamura for the telephoto lens, and primarily Soga for the third method step.
`
`Petition 2 challenges the second camera in claims 1-16, 18, 23-38, and 40
`
`as obvious over Parulski and Konno; relying on Parulski and Konno to show prior
`
`disclosure of the camera and Parulski for the method steps.
`
`Consequently, the large number of claims and functional differences
`
`between them support instituting two petitions here. While Petition 1 only
`
`challenges four claims, it requires a different combination and application of the
`
`prior art than the 34 claims challenged in Petition 2.

`Petitioner therefore respectfully requests that the Board consider and
`
`institute both petitions under 35 U.S.C. § 314(a).
