`
`INTRODUCTION
`2.
`I have been retained by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Samsung
`
`Electronics America, Inc., and Apple, Inc. (collectively, “Petitioners”) as an
`
`independent expert consultant in this inter partes review (“IPR”) proceeding
`
`before the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”).
`
`3.
`
`I have been asked by Petitioners’ counsel (“Counsel”) to consider
`
`whether certain references teach or suggest the features recited in Claims 1-8 of
`
`U.S. Patent No. 8,812,993 (“the ’993 Patent”) (EX1001). My opinions and the

`I am over 18 years of age and, if I am called upon to do so, I would be
`
`6.
`
`competent to testify as to the matters set forth herein. I understand that a copy of
`
`my current curriculum vitae, which details my education and professional and
`
`academic experience, is being submitted as EX1004. The following provides a
`
`brief overview of some of my experience that is relevant to the matters set forth in
`
`this declaration.
`
`7.
`
`I am currently Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at the
`
`University of Maryland (“UMD”). From 2014 to 2018, I was the Associate
`
`Provost of Learning Initiatives and Executive Director of the Teaching and
`
`Learning Transformation Center at the UMD. I am a member and previous
`
`director of the Human-Computer Interaction Lab (“HCIL”), the oldest and one of
`
`the best known Human-Computer Interaction (“HCI”) research groups in the
`
`country. I was also co-founder and Chief Scientist of Zumobi, Inc. from 2006 to
`
`2014, a Seattle-based startup that is a publisher of content applications and
`
`advertising platforms for smartphones. I am also co-founder and co-director of the
`
`International Children’s Digital Library (“ICDL”), a web site launched in 2002 that
`
`provides the world’s largest collection of freely available online children’s books
`
`from around the world with an interface aimed to make it easy for children and
`
`adults to search and read children’s books online. I am also cofounder and prior
`
`Chief Technology Officer of Hazel Analytics, a data analytics company to improve

`food safety and better public health whose product sends alerts in warranted
`
`circumstances. In addition, I have for more than 25 years consulted for numerous
`
`companies in the area of user interfaces, including Hillcrest Labs, Lockheed
`
`Martin, Logitech, Microsoft, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, the Palo Alto
`
`Research Center, and Sony.
`
`8.
`
`The devices and methods claimed in the ’993 Patent generally relate
`
`to user interface technology for electronic devices. For more than 30 years, I have
`
`studied, designed, and worked in the field of computer science and HCI. That
`
`includes teaching and research, with research interests in HCI and the software and
`
`technology underlying today’s interactive computing systems. This includes the
`
`design and implementation of hardware and software systems including the use of
`
`capacitive and other sensors, and interactive applications on a range of devices,
`
`including embedded systems, controllers, smart phones and PDAs.
`
`9.
`
`At UMD, I am focused primarily on the area of HCI, a field that
`
`relates to the development and understanding of computing systems to serve users’
`
`needs. Researchers and practitioners in this field are focused on making
`
`universally usable, useful, efficient, and appealing systems to support people in
`
`their wide range of activities. My approach is to balance the development of
`
`innovative technology that serves people’s practical needs. Example systems
`
`following this approach that I have built include Cortex-I (1992 embedded
`

`computer vision system that sensed licensed plates with custom motor, camera and
`
`controller), Audio Augmented Reality (1995 embedded system for sensing a user’s
`
`location and playing audio suited to that location), Fisheye Menus (2000 software
`
`for sensing movement within and selection of linear list of items in a menu),
`
`PhotoMesa (2001 software for end users to browse personal photos), DateLens
`
`(2002 software for end users to use their mobile devices to efficiently access their
`
`calendar information), SlideBar (2005 linear sensor to control scrolling),
`
`LaunchTile (2005 “home screen” software for mobile devices to allow users to
`
`navigate apps in a zoomable environment), SpaceTree (2001 software for end users
`
`to efficiently browse very large hierarchies), ICDL (as described above), and
`
`StoryKit (a 2009 iPhone app for children to create stories).
`
`10. Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, I worked on a range of “zoomable
`
`user interfaces,” which are systems that support the multi-scale and spatial
`
`organization of and magnification-based navigation among multiple documents or
`
`visual objects. I built several different “ZUI” systems over the years, including
`
`Pad++, Jazz and Piccolo. In those systems, I used a range of solutions to allow
`
`users to control zooming through the information space. The most common
`
`approach for systems with three button mice was to use the middle button for
`
`zooming in and the right button for zooming out. The user would hold the button
`
`down, and the system would smoothly animate zooming in or out – so that the user

`4

`
`

`

`Declaration of Dr. Benjamin B. Bederson
`U.S. Patent No. 8,812,993
`controlled how much the system zoomed based on the duration that the button was
`
`pressed.1
`
`11.
`
`In 1995 and 1996, I supervised graduate student David Rogers and
`
`other students in the development of a user interface approach that allowed a user
`
`to “toss” an object across long distances on their screen with their mouse.
`
`Motivated by increasingly large computer screens, we recognized a need to help
`
`users move items long distances without necessarily having to drag the item that
`
`entire distance manually. Instead, we calculated the speed and direction that the
`
`user dragged an object with their mouse. When a user released the mouse button,
`
`if the speed was greater than a threshold, our code calculated the path of where to
`
`animate the object based on several factors including the speed and direction of the
`
`mouse at the time of mouse button release. The figure below from a paper we
`
`wrote in 1996 shows the path of a tossed object. This resulted in David Rogers’s
`
`master’s thesis in 1995 and a paper that we submitted to the 1996 Conference on

`In 1999 and 2000, I worked on a mechanism to address the challenge
`
`12.
`
`that users faced when selecting one item from a long menu. As I described in a
`
`paper entitled “Fisheye Menus” that I published in the 2000 Proceedings of the
`
`ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology,4 existing
`
`techniques typically involved lengthy and slow scrolling techniques. I created an
`
`alternative solution that fit all of the elements onto a single screen thereby
`
`completely eliminating the need to scroll. This approach used the concept of
`
`“fisheye distortion” to shrink some of the elements, while keeping the elements
`
`that are under the cursor to be full size so the user could easily see and select them.
`
`This approach as depicted in the figure below and described further at EX1021,
`
`was later used in a number of commercial products such as the Apple MacOS
`
`Dock.

`
`
`
`13. Starting in 2000, I supervised graduate student Leslie Chipman who
`
`was working on a general solution to improve the user experience of people
`
`scrolling long documents on computers. Our solution relied on a passive haptic
`
`physical linear input device we called the “Slidebar.” The Slidebar was designed
`
`to sit on either side of the keyboard to be used with the non-dominant hand for
`
`scanning and rough positioning, and then if the user wanted to switch to reading,
`
`the dominant hand could be used for more accurate positioning. With a physical
`
`range of motion of approximately two inches, the full range could be accessed by
`
`moving just the fingers without moving the entire hand. This took advantage of
`

`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 8,812,993
`human proprioception¾the fact that people have excellent ability to know where
`
`their body is¾and allowed the user to scroll long documents completely eyes-free.
`
`They did not need to look at the device or the screen to, for example, move a
`
`mouse pointer to a graphical scroll bar. Instead they could focus on their primary
`
`task of reading. This work was published in 2004.5
`
`14.
`
`In April 2000, I visited Professors Wayne Westerman and John Elias
`
`at the University of Delaware and gave a talk entitled “Zoomable User Interfaces
`
`and Single Display Groupware.” This resulted in a collaboration with Professor
`
`Westerman, graduate student Hilary Browne, and others where we used their
`
`FingerWorks capacitive Multi-Touch Surface as the input device for a multi-touch
`
`finger painting program for children. The project used this input device to support
`
`a computer painting program that allowed children to paint with their fingers by
`
`directly touching the sensing surface. In contrast to the mouse input more typically
`
`used in this time period, this approach enabled us to create a more natural
`
`interaction environment. This work, depicted in the figure below, was published in

`
`
`
`15. Throughout the 2000’s, I worked on a range of interfaces for mobile
`
`devices with a focus on interface design for touch interfaces, including those with
`
`capacitive sensors. During this period, it became apparent that some positions on a
`
`screen were easier to access than others, especially when used with a single hand.
`
`To understand this issue, I led a range of studies that resulted in two papers

`
`of the studies, and shows that generally speaking, when using a single hand, the
`
`center of the screens were easier for users to touch than the edges of the screen,
`
`and that the corners of the screen were the hardest positions to touch.

`
`16. This work on touch screen mobile devices led to my creation of
`
`Zumobi in 2006, where I was responsible for investigating new software platforms
`
`and developing new user interface designs that provide efficient and engaging
`
`interfaces to permit end users to access a wide range of content on mobile
`
`platforms (including the iPhone and Android-based devices). For example, I

`designed and implemented software called “Ziibii,” a “river” of news for iPhone
`
`that used a capacitive sensor for controlling linear movement through news;
`
`software called “ZoomCanvas,” a zoomable user interface for several iPhone apps;
`
`and iPhone apps including “Inside Xbox” for Microsoft and Snow Report for REI.
`
`At the ICDL, I have since 2002 been the technical director responsible for the
`
`design and implementation of the web site, www.childrenslibrary.org (originally at
`
`www.icdlbooks.org). In particular, I have been closely involved in designing the
`
`user interface as well as the software architecture for the web site since its
`
`inception in 2002.
`
`17. Beginning in the mid-1990s, I have been responsible for the design
`
`and implementation of numerous other web sites in addition to the ICDL. For
`
`example, I designed and built my own professional web site when I was an
`
`Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico in 1995
`
`and have continued to design, write the code for, and update both that site (which I
`
`moved to the UMD in 1998, currently at http://www.cs.umd.edu/~bederson/) as
`
`well as numerous project web sites, such as Pad++,
`
`http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/pad++/. I received the Janet Fabri Memorial Award
`
`for Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation for my Ph.D. work in robotics and computer
`
`vision. I have combined my hardware and software skills throughout my career in
`
`HCI research, building various interactive electrical and mechanical systems that

`couple with software to provide an innovative user experience.
`
`18. My work has been published extensively in more than 160 technical
`
`publications, and I have given about 100 invited talks, including 9 keynote
`
`lectures. I have won a number of awards including the Brian Shackel Award for
`
`“outstanding contribution with international impact in the field of HCI” in 2007,
`
`and the Social Impact Award in 2010 from the Association for Computing
`
`Machinery’s (“ACM”) Special Interest Group on Computer Human Interaction
`
`(“SIGCHI”). ACM is the primary international professional community of
`
`computer scientists, and SIGCHI is the primary international professional HCI
`
`community. I have been honored by both professional organizations. I am an
`
`“ACM Distinguished Scientist,” which “recognizes those ACM members with at
`
`least 15 years of professional experience and 5 years of continuous Professional
`
`Membership who have achieved significant accomplishments or have made a
`
`significant impact on the computing field.” I am a member of the “CHI
`
`Academy,” which is described as follows: “The CHI Academy is an honorary
`

`I have appeared on radio shows numerous times to discuss issues
`
`relating to user interface design and people’s use and frustration with common
`
`technologies, web sites, and mobile devices. My work has been discussed and I
`
`have been quoted by mainstream media around the world over 120 times, including
`
`by the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Newsweek,
`
`the Seattle Post Intelligencer, the Independent, Le Monde, NPR’s All Things
`
`Considered, New Scientist Magazine, and MIT’s Technology Review.

`
`I have designed, programmed, and publicly deployed dozens of user-
`
`facing software products that have cumulatively had millions of users. My work is
`
`cited by several major companies, including Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google,
`
`and Microsoft. I am a named inventor on 12 U.S. patents and 18 U.S. patent
`
`applications. The patents are generally directed to user interfaces/experience.
`

`
`I received a B.S. degree in Computer Science with a minor in
`
`Electrical Engineering in 1986 from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I
`
`received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science in 1989 and 1992, both
`
`from New York University.

`IV. RELEVANT LEGAL STANDARDS
`23.
`I am not an attorney and offer no legal opinions. For the purposes of
`
`this Declaration, I have been informed about certain aspects of the law that are
`
`relevant to my analysis, as summarized below.
`
`A. Claim Interpretation
`24.
`I have been informed and understand that in an IPR proceeding,
`
`claims are to be interpreted according to the Phillips claim construction standard. I
`
`have been informed and understand that claim construction is a matter of law and
`
`that the final claim constructions for this proceeding will be determined by the
`
`Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”).
`
`B.
`25.
`
`Perspective of One of Ordinary Skill in the Art
`I have been informed and understand that a patent is to be understood
`
`from the perspective of a hypothetical “person of ordinary skill in the art”
`
`(“POSA”). Such an individual is considered to possess normal skills and
`
`knowledge in a particular technical field (as opposed to being a genius). I
`
`understand that in considering what the claims of a pate
