`

`

`Claim 1
`1. A wireless
`communications
`system including:
`
`
`
`10. The following preliminary exemplary chat provides Traxcell’s allegations of infringement.
`
`
`Corresponding Structure in Accused Systems
`The Google Maps online navigation service and the Google Maps server-side or cloud
`infrastructure needed to provide the service, constitute the “Accused System”.
`Each combination having at least one item listed on Exhibit A, at least one item listed on Exhibit
`B, and at least one item listed on Exhibit C is a wireless communications system.
`Because infringement liability is not dependent on ownership, e.g., use of a system can infringe
`(35 U.S.C. § 271), infringement is not dependent on ownership of all limitations of a claim.
`
`
`
`a first radio-
`frequency
`transceiver within
`a wireless mobile
`communications
`device and an
`associated first
`antenna to which
`the first radio-
`frequency
`transceiver is
`coupled, wherein
`the first radio-
`frequency
`transceiver is
`configured for
`radio-frequency
`communication
`with a wireless
`communications
`network;
`
`Plaintiff contends each item listed on Exhibit B corresponds to this claim limitation because each
`Exhibit-B item is a device that provides communicative access to a wireless network by
`transceivers designed and used for radio-frequency communication and at least one antenna.
`When a wireless communication device transceivers and antennas are in communication, they are
`coupled. Further, in addition to being so coupled, the transceiver of each Exhibit-B item is also
`configured for RF-communication wireless communication networks, such as AT&T, Verizon, T-
`Mobile, and other US networks (Cellular or WLAN) via Google Maps which comes preloaded on
`Exhibit-B items.
`Plaintiff contends each item listed on Exhibit B corresponds to this claim limitation because each
`Exhibit-B item includes a radio frequency transceiver. Wireless mobile communication device —
`including but not limited to Google’s branded devices such as Google Pixel 5, pixel 4a 5G, pixel
`4a, pixel 4 XL, pixel 4, pixel 3a XL, pixel 3a, pixel 3 XL, pixel 3, pixel 2, pixel 2 XL, pixel XL,
`pixel, pixel C or other (third-parties) branded devices such as Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy
`S20 plus, Galaxy S20, Galaxy Z fold, Galaxy S10, Galaxy A series, etc. (refer Exhibit B for
`complete list) — include radio-frequency transceivers and an associated antenna. When wireless
`communication device transceivers and antennas are in communication, they are coupled. Further,
`in addition to being so coupled, the transceiver of each Exhibit-B item is also configured for RF-
`communication with the wireless communication network.

`
`Corresponding Structure in Accused Systems
`Plaintiff contends each item listed on Exhibit B corresponds to this claim limitation because each
`Exhibit-B item includes a processor. Wireless mobile communication device- including but not
`limited to Google’s branded devices such as Google Pixel 5, pixel 4a 5G, pixel 4a, pixel 4 XL,
`pixel 4, pixel 3a XL, pixel 3a, pixel 3 XL, pixel 3, pixel 2, pixel 2 XL, pixel XL, pixel, pixel C or
`other (third-parties) branded devices such as Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy S20 plus,
`Galaxy S20, Galaxy Z fold, Galaxy S10, Galaxy A series, etc. (refer Exhibit B for complete list)
`has a processor, for example, Quad-Core/ Octa-core processor.
`Each Exhibit-B-listed mobile wireless communications device’s motherboard processor is
`programmed to process location-service information; i.e., to receive a location of the device from
`the wireless communications network (which is communicated to the device from the first RF
`transceiver) and generate an indication of the device’s location with respect to geographic features
`according to mapping information stored within the device. For example, the motherboard
`processor may use Google Maps to view and find places around the globe. The processor and
`base station transceivers communicate by RF communication and, thus, when doing so are
`communicatively coupled.
`The following exemplifies the existence of this limitation in Accused Systems:

`
`Attachment 13 (Google Pixel showing RF Transceiver component) at 9&10.
`Plaintiff contends the Exhibit-B-listed mobile-wireless-communications device’s motherboard
`processor is programmed to process location-service information; i.e., to receive a location of the
`device from the wireless communications network and generate an indication of the device’s
`location.
`For example, the motherboard processor may use Google Maps to obtain the device’s location
`and provide direction from that location to a destination. Wireless mobile communication device-
`including but not limited to Google’s branded devices such as Google Pixel 5, pixel 4a 5G, pixel
`4a, pixel 4 XL, pixel 4, pixel 3a XL, pixel 3a, pixel 3 XL, pixel 3, pixel 2, pixel 2 XL, pixel XL,
`pixel, pixel C or other (third-parties) branded devices such as Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy
`S20 plus, Galaxy S20, Galaxy Z fold, Galaxy S10, Galaxy A series, etc. (refer Exhibit B for
`complete list) has a processor for example, Quad-Core processor. When wireless communication
`device transceivers and processor are in communication, they are coupled. Further, the Location-
`based Service (LBS) provider, such as Google Map, on the Exhibit-B utilizes the processor
`coupled to the transceiver to estimates/receive the location on mobile wireless communications
`devices (specifically one or more of the mobile wireless communications devices identified on
`17
`
`
`
`

`

`Claim 1
`features
`
`Corresponding Structure in Accused Systems
`Exhibit B) by utilizing wireless communication network or first computer.
`For example, the motherboard processor may use Google Maps to view and find places around
`the globe. Google map can also show your current location and provide direction (including with
`respect to geographic features such as nearby restaurants) from your location/source to any
`destination. In using Google Maps App, the mobile wireless communication device’s
`motherboard processor generates signals for displaying on the device’s screen a blue dot that
`shows the current location of the wireless mobile communication device. The Google map app
`estimates the location of the device from 3 sources: GPS (GPS uses satellites and knows your
`location within a few meters), Wi-Fi (the location of nearby Wi-Fi networks helps Maps know
`where you are), and cell towers (cell tower can be accurate up to a few thousand meters). When
`Google Maps isn’t sure about your location, a light blue circle around the blue dot is shown. You
`might be anywhere within the light blue circle. The smaller the circle, the more certain the app is
`about your location.
`Furthermore, Google Maps App provides flexibility to download maps on SD card/internal
`memory of communication device (Exhibit B) examples of compatible devices is Samsung
`Galaxy S20, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, etc., and navigate offline. When internet is slow or
`mobile data is expensive, or communication device cannot connect to internet, an area can be
`saved to phone or tablet (Exhibit B) from Google maps app and use it when offline.
`Communication device can use Offline maps for Navigation through the downloaded area without
`internet.

`For example, the motherboard processor may use Google Maps to obtain the device’s location
`and provide direction from that location to a destination. Wireless mobile communication device-
`including but not limited to Google’s branded devices such as Google Pixel 5, pixel 4a 5G, pixel
`4a, pixel 4 XL, pixel 4, pixel 3a XL, pixel 3a, pixel 3 XL, pixel 3, pixel 2, pixel 2 XL, pixel XL,
`pixel, pixel C or other (third-parties) branded devices such as Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra, Galaxy
`S20 plus, Galaxy S20, Galaxy Z fold, Galaxy S10, Galaxy A series, etc. (refer Exhibit B for
`complete list) has a processor for example, Quad-Core processor. When wireless communication
`device transceivers and processor are in communication, they are coupled. Further, the Location-
`based Service (LBS) provider, such as Google Map, on the Exhibit-B utilizes the processor
`coupled to the transceiver to estimates/receive the location on mobile wireless communications
`devices (specifically one or more of the mobile wireless communications devices identified on
`Exhibit B) by utilizing wireless communication network or first computer.
`For example, the motherboard processor may use Google Maps to view and find places around
`the globe. Google map can also show your current location and provide direction (including with
`respect to geographic features such as nearby restaurants) from your location/source to any
`destination. In using Google Maps App, the mobile wireless communication device’s
`motherboard processor generates signals for displaying on the device’s screen a blue dot that
`shows the current location of the wireless mobile communication device. The Google map app
`estimates the location of the device from 3 sources: GPS (GPS uses satellites and knows your
`location within a few meters), Wi-Fi (the location of nearby Wi-Fi networks helps Maps know
`where you are), and cell towers (cell tower can be accurate up to a few thousand meters). When
`Google Maps isn’t sure about your location, a light blue circle around the blue dot is shown. You
`might be anywhere within the light blue circle. The smaller the circle, the more certain the app is
`about your location.
`Furthermore, Plaintiff contends Google Maps App provides flexibility to download maps on SD
`card/internal memory of communication device (Exhibit B) examples of compatible devices is
`Samsung Galaxy S20, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 5, etc., and navigate offline. When internet is
`slow or mobile data is expensive, or communication device cannot connect to internet, an area can
`be saved to phone or tablet (Exhibit B) from Google maps app and use it when offline.
`Communication device can use Offline maps for Navigation through the downloaded area without
`internet.

`
`Plaintiff contends the motherboard processor (i.e., processor on the motherboard) of each Exhibit-
`B-listed item (i.e., mobile
`Wireless communications device) meets this limitation. The processor processes location-service
`information, including
`displaying user navigation information according to the device’s location with regards to
`geographic features and a user-specified
`Destination. For example, using Google map app for more examples of location services
`processed by each Exhibit-B device’s motherboard processor) the device user locates the device’s
`current location on the google map app and then provide details for
`a destination on the options, provided in the Google map app. The user can then navigate (i.e., the
`processor processes display information) in real time from current location to destination. The
`processor displays navigation in the Google Maps app to display turn-by-turn directions. Using
`the Google map app, the processor will show the directions and use real-time traffic information
`to find the best route to the specified destination.
`The following exemplifies this limitation’s existence in Accused Systems:
`
