`Declaration of John Tinsman
`U.S. Pat. No. 10,515,191
`I am being compensated at my standard rate of $300/hour by Roku for
`
`
`
`my time spent in connection with this proceeding. My compensation is not
`
`dependent on, and in no way affects, the substance of my opinions. Nor is my
`
`compensation dependent on the outcome of this proceeding. My findings are based
`
`on my education, experience, and background in the fields discussed below.
`
`II. QUALIFICATIONS
` My academic and professional pursuits are closely related to the subject
`
`matter of the ’191 patent. Based on my education and work experience, I am well
`
`qualified to serve as a technical expert in this matter.
`
`
`
`A summary of my educational and professional experience is set forth
`
`in my curriculum vitae (“CV”), which is submitted as Exhibit 1015. Some of the
`
`relevant points in my CV are described below.
`
`
`
`I received a Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree in Physics from the
`
`University of California, Santa Barbara in 1981 and 1983, respectively. My
`
`specialization for my Master’s degree was medical and scientific instrumentation. I
`
`also received a Master’s in Business Administration from San Jose State University
`
`in 1995. I am a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
`
`(IEEE) and a registered U.S. Patent and Trademark Office patent agent (Registration
`
`No. 73,427).
`
`
`
`Although originally trained as a physicist, I have more than 35 years of
`
`
`
`- 2 -
`
`

`

`Declaration of John Tinsman
`U.S. Pat. No. 10,515,191
`experience designing, developing, and deploying hardware and software for
`
`scientific, consumer, industrial, and professional environments. I also have extensive
`
`experience in engineering management and business development, including the
`
`management of multinational teams. I have worked for a range of organizations,
`
`from academic institutions such as the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC)
`
`at Stanford University and the Signal Processing Laboratory at the École
`
`Polytechnqiue Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), to pioneers in multimedia and digital
`
`television, such as Radius, Inc., OpenTV Inc., Qualcomm, and the Kudelski Group.
`
`In that time, I have published a number of papers and made numerous presentations
`
`at academic and professional conferences, as well as before the European
`
`Commission.
`
`
`
`I specialize in the areas of analog and digital signal processing and
`
`communications, and the command and control functions that generally accompany
`
`them. From 1985 to 1989, I developed analog and digital signal processing hardware
`
`and software for data acquisition systems in high energy physics experiments at
`
`SLAC. I also worked on the command and control systems used to operate, calibrate,
`
`and monitor such experiments, as well as the particle accelerator itself.
`
` From 1989 to 1995, I applied these skills to computer graphics and
`
`multimedia systems at Radius. Radius was a leader in high end graphics, and an early
`
`developer of Macintosh-based audio and video multimedia systems. These systems
`
`
`
`- 3 -
`
`

`

`Declaration of John Tinsman
`U.S. Pat. No. 10,515,191
`included multimedia ingest, editing, processing, compression, and delivery,
`
`including server-based delivery over networks. Key markets for these products
`
`included pre-press, television post-production, and video serving using video
`
`compression.
`
`
`
`I worked at Radius as an engineer and an engineering manager. Several
`
`of my projects were related to video editing and compression using various codecs,
`
`such as MPEG-2 and Cinepak. This work included video signal processing and video
`
`signal enhancement, as well as the more general aspects of post-production using
`
`Apple Computer’s QuickTime framework. These aspects included the use of time
`
`codes, edit lists, and other metadata to properly combine a collection of input tracks
`
`into the final multimedia output. My other technical activities included the
`
`development of high speed networks, custom integrated circuits, and remote
`
`rendering and control of high-resolution graphics displays.
`
`
`
`I joined Visual Edge in 1995 as its Vice President of Engineering. I led
`
`a team of engineers in developing and supporting high performance image
`
`processing software for rendering and printing text and images on large format high
`
`resolution digital printers. This work involved product definition and engineering,
`
`as well as research on algorithms for imaging and color calibration.
`
`
`
`In 1998, I moved to Switzerland to become a Principal Researcher at
`
`the EPFL, supervising a team of researchers and graduate students studying high
`
`
`
`- 4 -
`
`

`

`Declaration of John Tinsman
`U.S. Pat. No. 10,515,191
`performance signal processing. Specifically, this work involved using the then-new
`
`multimedia instruction sets appearing in microprocessors to accelerate audio, image
`
`and video processing, and compression on high-end desktop computers.
`
` My background in signal and media processing also provided me the
`
`opportunity to use my skills in related contexts. In 2000 and 2001, I consulted for a
`
`search engine company, Albert Inc., to develop a prototype voice navigation and
`
`control module for their textual search engine. The target environment for the
`
`prototype was high-end automobiles, with the goal of enabling voice-based searches
`
`for information and services related to the user’s location. As a result, I worked
`
`extensively to understand a number of fundamental challenges to gathering,
`
`processing, and recognizing speech in an automotive environment.
`
` During this period, I also consulted with Pinnacle Systems, a
`
`manufacturer of digital video hardware and software for the consumer and broadcast
`
`markets. I developed video signal processing algorithms for Pinnacle’s custom
`
`broadcast television graphics integrated circuits and cards, with an emphasis on
`
`noise reduction to improve image quality and compressibility.
`
` From 2001 to 2007, I worked at OpenTV Inc. as a director in the Office
`
`of the Chief Technology Officer. OpenTV was a premier provider of set-top box
`
`middleware for cable and satellite platforms and was deeply involved in technology
`
`development and standards making for digital and interactive pay television. In that
`
`
`
`- 5 -
`
`

`

`Declaration of John Tinsman
`U.S. Pat. No. 10,515,191
`position, I worked both as a product architect in Europe and as OpenTV’s
`
`representative at standards groups, such as the Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB)
`
`Project. My architectural job activities included working with other technology
`
`providers, including companies that provided conditional access and Video on
`
`Demand (VOD)
`
`technologies for
`
`integration with OpenTV’s set-top box
`
`middleware, as well as OpenTV’s own products for content recording and playback.
`
`My standards work included contributions at the DVB to various technical and
`
`market development working groups, as well as at the steering board level. This
`
`work included significant involvement in the DVB’s standardization efforts around
`
`their Multimedia Home Platform (MHP) standard for a TV-based interactive
`
`television.
`
` From 2007 to 2009, I worked at Qualcomm Inc. as a Product Manager,
`
`supporting the company’s MediaFLO technology. MediaFLO was a technology for
`
`transmitting audio, video, and data to portable devices, such as mobile phones. The
`
`broadcast media transmitted via MediaFLO included live, real-time audio and video
`
`streams, as well as scheduled video and audio clips and shows. My duties included
`
`providing technology strategy, requirements analysis, and customer support for the
`
`MediaFLO technology.
`
` From 2009 to 2014, I returned to OpenTV as its Vice President of
`
`Engineering in the Advanced Advertising Group. In this role, I was responsible for
`
`
`
`- 6 -
`
`

`

`Declaration of John Tinsman
`U.S. Pat. No. 10,515,191
`architectures, technologies, and product development for OpenTV’s advanced
`
`advertising, and engagement solutions across multiple platforms. This work
`
`included the ingest and processing of television program and schedule information,
`
`such as would be used for advertising schedules or electronic program guides. This
`
`work also involved searching, categorizing, and reporting such information for the
`
`purposes of ad placements and ad verifications. I also led the design and
`
`development of a real-time advertising analytics platform. This work involved
`
`extensive processing and presentation of advertising and program schedule
`
`information, including database and user interface design and implementation.
`
` From 2014 to 2017, I served as the Chief Technologist for the Kudelski
`
`Group’s Intellectual Property and Innovation Group. In this role, I supported
`
`inventors and the innovation process across multiple technologies, including
`
`multimedia systems related to content ingest, protection, delivery, and consumption.
`
`I also supported the company’s licensing and acquisition efforts.
`
` Currently, I am the Chief Executive Officer of GadgetJazz, an
`
`engineering design and innovation practice founded in 2017. Leveraging my past
`
`technical experiences, I perform consulting services related to technology and
`
`business development, specifically in the areas of multimedia and communications
`
`technologies, distributed systems, high performance computing, and consulting on
`
`innovation and the development of intellectual property.
