`
`provide directional assistance in response to an Internet query. The directional assistance
`
`is provided from a location of the querying device to a destination that may be selectively
`
`prompted based on whether the destination is a nearby business, a type of business, a street
`
`address, or another mobile device or fixed telephone location. The location of the querying
`
`device is also selectively determined depending on whether the querying device is a
`
`
`
`
` 3
`
`Apple Exhibit 1013
`Page 3 of 31
`
`
`
`wireless device such as a mobile telephone, or whether the device has a presumed fixed
`
`location, such as an ordinary telephone connected to a public-switched telephone network
`
`(PSTN).
`
`9. The following preliminary exemplary chart provides notice of Traxcell’s allegations of
`
`infringement.
`
`
`
`Exemplary Claim
`
`A method of
`providing navigation
`assistance to a user
`of a communications
`device, the method
`comprising:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Corresponding Structure in Accused Systems
`
`Apple Devices that supports the Apple Maps online navigation service together with
`the Apple Maps server-side or cloud infrastructure needed to provide the service,
`constitute the “Accused System”.
`
`
`
`The term “Apple Maps” encompasses and includes all the versions and variants of the
`Apple Maps web (for PCs, laptops and other computers functioning with macOS or
`Mac OS X operating systems) and the Apple Maps app [Apple Maps app for iOS
`devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch etc.,) and watchOS devices] and the applications
`supported by the Apple Maps Platform.
`
`
`
`The “method of providing navigation assistance to a user of a communications device”
`refers to the method by which Apple Maps provides online navigation assistance
`(directions) to a user of a communications device or UE (example: mobile phone,
`smartphone, laptop, tablet, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch etc.) including the Apple Maps
`app or including a browser plugin enabling access to the Apple Maps website or
`having other means to access the Apple Maps website, for querying and receiving
`navigation instructions for travelling from a starting location (current location of the
`communications device or a location specified by its user as the ‘origin’) to a
`destination location (a location specified by the said user as the ‘destination’).
`
`
`
`The “communications device” refers to a UE (example: iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, mac
`book etc.) including the Apple Maps app or including a browser plugin enabling access
`to the Apple Maps website or having other means to access the Apple Maps website
`for querying and receiving navigation instructions for travelling from a starting

`
`receiving, by a
`directional assistance
`service, an Internet
`query initiated at the
`communications
`device and directed
`via the Internet to
`initiate a request for
`navigational
`assistance to a
`destination;
`
`location (current location of the communications device or a location specified by its
`user as the ‘origin’) to a destination location (a location specified by the said user as
`the ‘destination’).
`
`Navigation using Apple Maps online navigation service is a well-known example of
`off-board navigation. To elaborate, an off-board navigation system is a client/server
`system wherein only the user interface (UI) resides on the client’s (user’s)
`communications device and all the databases (GIS and/or mapping) and infrastructure
`required for computation (of route, distance, travel time, traffic etc.) reside remotely on
`a server or a network of servers (the server-side) located on the world wide web
`(www). The server-side could also comprise virtual (instead of physical) or cloud
`server infrastructure. The client side (user interface or UI at a user’s communications
`device) can only communicate with the server-side via the Internet.
`
`This claim element refers to the method and process involved in initiating a navigation
`query, using Apple Maps online navigation service, to obtain directions (navigation
`assistance) for travelling from a starting location to a destination location. The process
`involved in initiating the said navigation query includes inputting a destination location
`at the Apple Maps’ user interface (UI) at the user’s communications device, and
`sending the said query via Internet to the remote Apple Maps server (cloud server).
`The said remote Apple Maps server (cloud server) receives the said query via Internet.
`
`The term “directional assistance service” herein refers to Apple Maps online
`navigation service supported and facilitated by a wireless telecommunications network.
`
`The “communications device” refers to a UE (example: iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch,
`MacBook etc.) including the Apple Maps app or including a browser plugin enabling
`access to the Apple Maps website or having other means to access the Apple Maps
`website, for querying and receiving navigation instructions for travelling from a
`starting location (current location of the communications device or a location specified
`by its user as the ‘origin’) to a destination location (a location specified by the said user
`as the ‘destination’).
`
`
`
`The said “communications device” (the user of the said “communications device”)
`being a subscriber of wireless telecommunications network services.
`
`When subscribers utilizes Apple Maps online on their communications devices (UEs)
`using wireless telecommunication network , queries (directed to the Apple Maps
`server) and responses (informational, navigational or directional assistance from the
`Apple Maps server) are communicated between the client-side (Apple Maps
`application installed on a user’s wireless mobile communications device) and the
`server-side (Apple Maps server).

`
`
`
`Exemplary Claim
`
`Corresponding Structure in Accused Systems
`
`
`
`The method of using the Apple Maps for navigation includes initiating a query at a
`user’s communications device (UE) to initiate a request for navigational assistance for
`travelling from a starting point (which could be the current location of the user’s
`communications device) to a destination, by specifying (inputting) the destination and
`the starting point (if different from the current location of the user’s communications
`device).
`
`The said query is directed via the Internet to the remote Apple Maps server (cloud
`server). In other words, the Apple Maps server (cloud server) receives the said query
`through the Internet.
`
`Apple Maps online navigation is an example of off-board navigation. In other words,
`Apple Maps online navigation system is a client/server system wherein only the user
`interface (UI) resides on the client’s (user’s) communications device and all the
`databases (GIS and/or mapping) and infrastructure required for computation (of route,
`distance, travel time, traffic etc.) reside remotely on the Apple Maps server (which
`could be a network of servers) [the server-side] located on the world wide web (www).
`The server-side could also comprise virtual (instead of physical) or cloud server
`infrastructure. The client side (user interface or UI at a user’s communications device)
`can only communicate with the server-side via the Internet. In other words, destination
`is input and a query is initiation at the Apple Maps user interface (UI) at the client
`device and the query (including the input destination) is communicated from the client-
`side (client or user’s communications device) to the remote server-side (Apple Maps
`server) via the Internet. The Apple Maps server, upon receiving the query (including
`the input destination) communicated from the client-side (client or user’s
`communications device) via the Internet, identifies the required vector maps, computes
`or calculates the route(s), and downloads the required vector maps and the computed or
`calculated route(s) to the client-side (client or user’s communications device) via the
`Internet.
`Apple Maps is programmed to identify the “phone number” and the “device
`identifiers” of the communications device (UEat which the said navigation query is
`initiated. In other words, Apple Maps determines whether or not the said
`communications device (UE) is a mobile wireless communications device (UE)
`
`“a mobile wireless communications device” refers to a mobile wireless
`communications device or UE (example: mobile phone, smartphone, laptop, tablet,
`iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch etc.), which includes the Apple Maps app or includes a
`browser plugin enabling access to the Apple Maps website or has other means to
`access the Apple Maps website for querying and receiving navigation instructions for
`travelling from a starting point (current location of the communication’s device or a
`location specified by its user as the ‘origin’) to a destination location (a location
`specified by the said user as the ‘destination’). Any wireless mobile communications
`
`responsive to
`receiving the Internet
`query, determining
`whether or not the
`communications
`device is a mobile
`wireless
`communications
`device;

`
`device, which uses Mobile Hotspot for connecting to the Internet and includes the
`Apple Maps app or a browser plugin enabling access to the Apple Maps website or has
`other means to access the Apple Maps website, also corresponds to this claim element.
`
`In Apple’s Privacy Policy document, it is clearly indicated that Apple (which includes
`Apple Maps) collects information such as phone number and device identifiers
`pertaining to the communications device (UE) at which a navigation query is
`initiated and communicated to the Apple Maps server. In other words, Apple Maps
`has means to determine whether a querying communications device (UE) is a mobile
`wireless communications device (UE) or not.
`
`The following is mentioned therein –
`
`“What personal information we collect
`
`When you create an Apple ID, apply for commercial credit, purchase a product,
`download a software update, register for a class at an Apple Retail Store, connect to
`our services, contact us including by social media or participate in an online survey, we
`may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone
`number, email address, contact preferences, device identifiers, IP address, location
`information, credit card information and profile information where the contact is via
`social media.”
`
`
`In the aforementioned, it is also mentioned that when a user connects to Apple’s
`services (like Apple Maps online navigation), Apple also collects the IP address from
`which the said user connects to Apple’s services (like Apple Maps online navigation).
`In other words, when a user connects to the Apple Maps server using the client-side UI
`on his/her communications device (UE) via Internet, the Apple Maps server collects
`the IP address from which the said user connects to the Apple Maps server.
`
`
`
`Based on the above information, it is confirmed that whenever a communications
`device uses Apple Maps, information such as mobile network information including
`the name of the carrier providing data services to the said communications device are
`collected by Apple (Apple Maps). In other words, Apple Maps can also ascertain
`whether the communications device (UE) at which the said navigation query is
`initiated, is connected to the Apple Maps server through a wireless telecommunications
`network service (i.e. through RF signal-based communication) or through a Wi-Fi
`network supported by a fixed (wired or wireless) broadband Internet service.
`
`In summary, Apple Maps has means to determine whether a querying
`communications device (UE) is a mobile wireless communications device (UE) or not,

`location of the
`mobile wireless
`communications
`device as a location
`of the
`communications
`device;
`
`and also whether the said communications device (UE) is connected to the Apple Maps
`server through a wireless telecommunications network service (i.e. through RF signal-
`based communication) or through a Wi-Fi network supported by a fixed (wired or
`wireless) broadband Internet service.
`If the Apple Maps online navigation service determines that the said navigation query
`has been initiated at a mobile wireless communications device (UE), and that the said
`query was communicated through a wireless telecommunications network service (i.e.
`through RF signal-based communication), Apple Maps determines current location of
`the mobile wireless communications device (UE) and uses it as the starting point for
`providing navigation information (instructions or directions) to travel to the destination
`input by the user of the said communications device (UE).
`
`The “the mobile wireless communications device” or the “communications device”
`refers to the mobile wireless communications device or UE (example: mobile phone,
`smartphone, laptop, tablet, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, mac-book etc.) The UE at which
`the navigation query was initiated.
`
`It has been demonstrated ithat a user can simply input a “destination” entry and initiate
`a navigation query on the Apple Maps’ client-side user interface (UI) at the user’s
`mobile wireless communications device (Apple Maps app on an iPhone). The Apple
`Maps server, upon receiving the navigation query (including input “destination”) from
`the client-side via Internet, determines the “current location” of the user’s mobile
`wireless communications device, uses it as the default starting point, ascertains the
`location of the input “destination”, computes or calculates the route(s) and directions,
`and downloads the computed or calculated route(s) and directions to the user’s mobile
`wireless communications device.
`
`As has been mentioned with reference to the previous claim element, Apple Maps,
`upon receiving a navigation query from a user’s communications device, determines
`whether or not the said communications device is a mobile wireless communications
`device.
`
`It is clearly indicated that a user can simply input a “destination” entry and initiate a
