`
`1. A method of enrolling in a biometric card pointer

`receiving card information;
`receiving the biometric signature:
`
`defining, dependent upon the received

`
`First interpretation: a memory
`location is somehow determined
`from (or is dependent on) the card
`information (“First Construction”).
`Under this interpretation, the
`system can look up or otherwise
`determine a specific memory
`location from a user’s card
`information.
`
`“the user’s card information
`itself specifies the physical
`memory address (such as by
`acting as a pointer) for the user’s
`biometric signature.”

`
`Second interpretation: a memory
`location is specified by the card
`information itself (“Second
`Construction”). Under this
`interpretation, the card
`information itself must specify the
`physical memory address where
`the user’s biometric signature is
`stored, without the need to look
`up the memory address in a
`database or other data structure.

`PO’s Expert Testimony
`
`41. A POSITA would have understood (at the
`time of the invention) that “defining,” as used
`in the Challenged Claims, is not the same as
`merely looking up, specifying, or identifying
`something that has already been defined. As
`noted above, the Board has adopted
`“contingent upon or determined by” as the
`construction for the “dependent upon” portion
`of Limitation 1[C]. IPR2022-00600, Paper 8
`at 10. In light of this construction, a POSITA
`would consider the word “defining,”
`especially in the context of enrollment, to
`mean “setting” or “establishing.”

`The Board agreed in the Apple IPR:
`
`“Considering the abstract and the specification of the ’039 patent, what ‘defining, dependent
`upon . . .’ means as a whole, in the context of claim 1 and ‘a method of enrolling,’ is that
`during an enrollment process, the claimed ‘biometric signature,’ e.g., a fingerprint, is not yet
`stored in the memory and no memory location or address has been ‘set’ or ‘established’ for the
`fingerprint. When the fingerprint, and then the card, is provided to the system during
`enrollment, the card information provides data that establishes where, e.g., at what memory
`location or address, the system will store the fingerprint data.”

`“The claim requires that the card data be used to
`determine where to put the data.· In other words, the –
`the system knows where to put the data because the card
`information defines the location.
`
`And -- and in the case of Hsu -- so a contrasting example
`is Hsu.· In the case of Hsu, the card information does
`not tell the database where to put the information.”

`
`
`Card Information Must Be Received
`Before the Memory Location is Set
`
`The Apple Board agreed:
`
`“Overall, in terms of “defining” and limitation [1c] as a whole, we understand that during an
`enrollment process, the claimed “biometric signature,” e.g., a fingerprint, is not yet stored in the
`memory, and no memory location or address has been “defined,” as in “set” or “established,” in
`the memory for storing the fingerprint, until card information is received. Once the card
`information and fingerprint is received during enrollment, the card information provides data
`that establishes where, i.e., at what memory location or address, the system will store the
`fingerprint data.”
`◦ IPR2022-00600, Paper No. 22 (Apple IPR FWD) at 36 and 38-39.
`
`“Therefore, based on the proper interpretation and understanding that the meaning of “defining”
`includes “sets” or “establishes,” we can agree with Patent Owner that “[a]fter, and only after, that
`card information is received can a memory location be defined” for the biometric signature.”

`Hsu
`
`Petitioner Admits “Hsu is silent on how a new user record is created”; Petitioner’s proposed
`modifications do not cure this deficiency”
`
`“One option is to store all the user numbers in Hsu’s database and reserve/pre-establish memory locations
`for associated fingerprint data. Upon a user enrolling by providing a user number, the system looks up the
`user number and determines the corresponding memory location for storing the user’s fingerprint.”
`◦ Petitioner’s Reply at 16-17
`
`◦ The “system looking up” a user number is distinct from the card information “defining” the memory location
`
`“Another option is to create a new user record on enrollment…Upon a user enrolling, she would provide a
`previously unseen card/user number, and the system would then create a new record for the user, including
`setting/establishing for the first time the memory location for storing the user’s fingerprint.”
`◦ Petitioner’s Reply at 17
`◦ This is a hindsight-driven “option” with no support

`Disadvantages of Tsukamura’s Index-based Memory System
`◦ Each memory location is a fixed size
`
`◦ Each memory location is an identical size
`
`◦ Indexes (arrays) are static; they are established in memory once and cannot be changed
`
`◦ Indexes (arrays) do not handle variable-sized data efficiently
`
`◦ Each index must be large enough to accommodate the largest data to be stored, even if other data
`chunks are smaller
`
`◦ Results in significant empty, unused space
`
`◦ Empty space in any computer system is wasteful and undesirable
`
`◦ Cannot accommodate a piece of data larger than the pre-defined index size limit

`The ‘039 Patent Discloses a Flexible Pointer-based System
`◦ A data-field is a pointer to a location in memory
`
`◦ ‘039 Patent Specification: “[t]he card data 604 acts as the memory reference which points, as depicted
`by arrow 608 [as shown in Fig. 4] to a particular memory location at an address 607 in the local
`database 124….”
`
`◦ ‘039 Patent Specification: “The card data 604 defines the location 607 in the memory 124 where their
`unique biometric signature is stored.”
`
`◦ Biometric signatures – like fingerprints – are of varying size
`
`◦ Pointer-system records can be of varying size
`
`◦ Pointers allow for extremely rapid location of data in memory

`
`Engelsma supports the preferred use of variable
`length records for fingerprint storage
`
`“Abstract—We present DeepPrint, a deep network,
`which learns to extract fixed-length fingerprint
`representations of only 200 bytes. DeepPrint
`incorporates fingerprint domain knowledge, including
`alignment and minutiae detection, into the deep
`network architecture to maximize the discriminative
`power of its representation. The compact, DeepPrint
`representation has several advantages over the
`prevailing variable length minutiae representation….”
