`telecommunications network, comprising:
`a Universal Serial Bus (“USB) interface
`configured to allow reception of a USB cable;
`a charging subsystem, the charging subsystem
`operably connected to the USB interface V-bus
`power line;
`the charging subsystem operably connectable
`to a battery, and configured to charge a battery
`if a battery is operably connected;
`the charging system further configured to use
`power from the V-bus power line for the
`charging of a battery; and,
`where the mobile device is configured to
`detect an identification signal at a D+ and a D-
`data line of the USB interface, the
`identification signal being different than USB
`enumeration.
`
`8. A method of charging a battery in a mobile
`device, the mobile device configurable for use in a
`wireless telecommunications network, comprising:
`providing a Universal Serial Bus (“USB)
`interface con figured to allow reception of a
`USB cable, and, receiving power on a V-bus
`power line at the USB interface;
`providing an operable connection between the
`power received at the USB interface on the V-
`bus power line and a charging subsystem;
`having a battery in operable connection to the
`charging subsystem;
`providing power to the battery using the charger
`subsystem; and,
`detecting an identification signal at a D+ and a

`
`Paper 30
`
`Petitioner arguing:
`
`Petitioner stating:
`
`“claim 11 [allegedly] affirms that the
`‘power source type’ may just be that a
`charging connection is available, e.g.,
`like Kerai’s SE1 signal that identifies
`two data lines being available for
`power harvesting.”
`
`“A single signal can convey more than
`one attribute at the same time, such as
`both (1) power source type and that
`this type is (2) either that a charging
`connection is available, and/or that a
`device is not a USB host or hub.”
`
`Reply at 11
`
`Paper 30 at 3
`
`“Power source type” and “charging connection is available” are two 
`different attributes.  Thus, indicating “a charging connection is available” 
`differs from identifying a power source type.

`telecommunications network, comprising:
`a Universal Serial Bus (“USB) interface
`configured to allow reception of a USB cable;
`a charging subsystem, the charging subsystem
`operably connected to the USB interface V-bus
`power line;
`the charging subsystem operably connectable
`to a battery, and configured to charge a battery
`if a battery is operably connected;
`the charging system further configured to use
`power from the V-bus power line for the
`charging of a battery; and,
`where the mobile device is configured to
`detect an identification signal [signal that
`identifies a power source type] at a D+ and a
`D- data line of the USB interface, the
`identification signal being different than USB
`enumeration.

`“Zyskowski also does not suggest that the host should
