`
`of claims 1-13 (“Challenged Claims”) of U.S. 10,223,692 (“the ’692 patent,”
`
`APPL-1001).
`
`III. GROUNDS FOR STANDING
`
`Petitioner certifies the ’692 Patent is eligible for IPR and Petitioner is not
`
`barred or estopped from requesting an IPR on the grounds herein.
`
`IV. NOTE REGARDING EMPHASIS
`All bold, bold italics, and bold underline has been added. Italics signifies
`
`claim language.

`
`

`
`V. BACKGROUND
`
`Electronic wallet applications (“e-wallets”) are virtual wallets allowing users
`
`to store several credit cards, membership cards, coupons, etc. in an application on
`
`their mobile phones and make payments using their e-wallets. E-wallets were well-
`
`known before the ʼ692 Patent. APPL-1003, ¶30 (examples). The user can designate
`
`a card as a default, or can switch to a “temporary” card for a particular transaction.
`
`APPL-1003, ¶30 (examples).
`
`A. The ʼ692 Patent
`
`The ’692 Patent provides “a method for setting a mobile payment card to be
`
`used for payment and a mobile device applying the same.” APPL-1001, 1:16-20.
`
`“[R]ecovering the original main payment card may be a cumbersome procedure”
`
`and “changing the main payment card to another payment card may also cause
`
`inconvenience.” APPL-1001, 1:32-43. The ’692 Patent’s method “set[s] a
`
`temporary payment card” so “a user can change the temporary payment card more
`
`easily, swiftly, naturally, amusingly, and intuitively.” APPL-1001, 1:49-57. APPL-
`
`1003, ¶¶31-33.
`
`Figures 10 and 11, below, display a list of mobile payment cards (Fig. 10) at
`
`a first portion of a mobile device’s touch screen interface. APPL-1001, 4:36-40.
`
`The method includes receiving, through the touch screen interface, a user input
`
`selecting a card (“ABC Premier”), and detecting the user input sliding the card
`
`3
`
`

`

`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 10,223,692
`
`from the first portion to a second portion of the touch screen interface (Fig. 11).
`
`APPL-1001, 4:41-48. In Figure 11, the user selects “ABC Premier” card as the
`
`temporary payment card. APPL-1001, 4:41-48. APPL-1003, ¶34.

`
`
`
`APPL-1003, ¶34.
`
`Based upon the user’s sliding the card (“ABC Premier”), that card is set as a
`
`temporary card and payments will be made by that card while set as the temporary
`
`card. APPL-1001, 4:56-61. APPL-1003, ¶35.

`
`

`

`
`Payment using the temporary card should be made within a payable time.
`
`APPL-1001, 4:62-65. As shown in Figure 15 below, a numerical indicator of a
`
`payable time (e.g., 30 seconds) is displayed while the temporary card is active.
`
`APPL-1001, 4:66-5:2, 5:42-43. As the time decreases, Figure 16 shows the
`
`temporary card moving a first distance from a first portion of the touch screen
`
`towards a second portion of the touch screen. APPL-1003, ¶36.

`
`

`

`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 10,223,692
`
`When the payable time (e.g., 30 seconds) has passed, the temporary payment
`
`card is reset, the previously selected card (“ABC Premier”) is no longer the
`
`temporary card, and payments are made through a main/default card. APPL-1001,
`
`4:62-65, 2:44-45, 2:51-52; APPL-1003, ¶37.
`
`B. Prosecution History
`
`The ’692 Patent was filed August 29, 2013, and claims priority to a Korean
`
`application filed November 28, 2012.
`
`To obtain allowance, the applicant amended the claims and argued the prior
`
`art did not teach the numerical indicator of a payable time and simultaneously
`
`decrementing the timer while moving the card across the screen:
`
`APPL-1002, 65-66, 61, 64 (showing amendments). Applicant argued “none of the
`
`cited references teach the simultaneous use of both a numerical indicator and a
`
`
`
`6
`
`

`

`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 10,223,692
`
`visualization of a ‘sinking’ card to indicate the remaining amount of payable
`
`time.” APPL-1002, 66. The Examiner then allowed the application. APPL-1002,
`
`10-12, 14-24.
`
`C. Priority Date
`
`Without conceding, Petitioner assumes a November 28, 2012, priority date
`
`for the analysis herein.
`
`VI. LEVEL OF ORDINARY SKILL IN THE ART
`
`A person of ordinary skill in the art (“POSITA”) in November 2012 would
`
`have had a working knowledge of mobile payment techniques pertinent to the ’692
`
`Patent, including software development in the field of mobile payment techniques.
`
`Such POSITA would have had a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering,
`
`computer science, or equivalent training, and approximately two years of work
`
`experience in software development. Lack of work experience can be remedied by
`
`additional education, and vice versa. APPL-1003, ¶¶20-22.
`
`VII. CLAIM CONSTRUCTION
`
`In this Petition, claim terms carry their ordinary and accustomed meaning as
`
`understood by a POSITA at the priority date in the context of the entire disclosure.
`
`Terms not addressed below require no specific construction for this proceeding.

`
`

`

`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 10,223,692
`
`A. “from the first portion of the screen”
`
`Claim 1 uses the term “first portion of the touch screen interface”
`
`(Limitation [1.1]/[13.2]) differently than the term “first portion of the screen”
`
`(Limitation [1.6.2]/[13.7.2]), as shown in Figures 10-11 and 15-16, below. APPL-
`
`1003, ¶44.
`
`As shown in Figure 10, a list of cards is displayed at a first portion of a
`
`touch screen interface located towards a lower portion of the touch screen
`
`interface. Limitation [1.1]/[13.2]; APPL-1001, 4:36-40. Then, as shown in
`
`Figure 11, the user “slide[s] the mobile payment card from the first portion of the
`
`touch screen interface to a second portion of the touch screen interface.” Limitation
`
`[1.3]/[13.4]; APPL-1001, 4:41-48. As shown in Figure 11, the “second portion of
`
`the touch screen interface” is located toward the upper portion of the touch screen
`
`interface. APPL-1003, ¶45.

`APPL-1003, ¶45.
`
`After the user has slid the card up to the second portion of the touch screen
`
`interface (Figure 11), a different operation is performed as the “payable time”
`
`passes. APPL-1003, ¶46. As shown in Figures 15-16, below, claims 1 and 13 recite
`
`“moving the mobile payment card a first distance from [a] first portion of the
`
`screen towards a second portion of the touch screen,” while the “payable time”
`
`decrements. Limitation [1.6.2]/[13.7.2]. APPL-1001, 5:39-47; APPL-1003, ¶46.

`
`APPL-1003, ¶46.
`
`The term “from the first portion of the screen” in Limitation [1.6.2]/[13.7.2]
`
`should thus be construed as “from a first portion of the screen” because the card is
`
`slid down from the “first portion of the screen” (Limitation [1.6.2]/[13.7.2]) and
`
`thus the “first portion of the screen” is different than the “first portion of the touch
`
`screen interface.” APPL-1003, ¶47. As discussed above, the card is slid up from
`
`the “first portion of the touch screen interface” to the “second portion of the touch
`
`screen interface.” Limitation [1.3]/[13.4]. The moving of the card “from [a] first
`

`
`

`

`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 10,223,692
`
`portion of the screen” in Limitation [1.6.2]/[13.7.2] occurs after the user has “slid[]
`
`the mobile payment card from the first portion of the touch screen interface to a
`
`second portion of the touch screen interface” in Limitation [1.3]/[3.4]. APPL-1003,
`
`¶47.
`
`B. Printed Matter
`
`Although Limitations [1.5]-[1.7.2] and [13.6]-[13.8.2] would have been
`
`obvious (see §VIII.C.5), they lack patentable weight under the printed-matter
`
`doctrine. Praxair Distribution v. Mallinckrodt Hosp. Prod. IP, 890 F.3d 1024,
`
`1033 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (addressing during claim construction). These limitations are
`
`“directed to the content of the information conveyed” (time remaining) and
`
`“merely inform[] people of the claimed information” rather than “create a new
`
`functionality in a claimed device or [] cause a specific action in a claimed process.”
`
`C R Bard Inc. v. AngioDynamics, 979 F.3d 1372, 1381-82 (Fed. Cir. 2020).
`
`Although the temporary card is reset when the “payable time” expires (Limitations
`
`[1.8]/[13.9]), that occurs based on “payable time” expiring and would occur
`
`regardless of whether or how remaining time is displayed.

`
`IDENTIFICATION OF HOW THE CLAIMS ARE UNPATENTABLE
`
`A. Statutory Grounds for Challenge and Relief Requested
`
`These references are pertinent to the grounds presented:
`
`1. U.S. 2009/0288012 (“Hertel”, APPL-1005); filed May 18, 2009, published
`
`11
`
`

`

`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 10,223,692
`
`November 19, 2009, and prior art under pre-AIA §§102(a)-(b), (e).
`
`2. U.S. 2009/0037326 (“Chitti”, APPL-1006); filed February 29, 2008,
`
`published February 5, 2009, and prior art under §§102(a)-(b), (e).
`
`3. U.S. 2012/0123937 (“Spodak”, APPL-1008); filed January 26, 2012,
`
`published May 17, 2012, and prior art under §§102(a), (e).
`
`4. U.S. 8,296,686 (“Tedesco”, APPL-1007); filed February 24, 2009, issued
`
`October 23, 2012, and prior art under §§102(a), (e).
`
`5. U.S. 7,967,196 (“Bierbaum”, APPL-1010); filed March 28, 2008, issued
`
`June 28, 2011, and prior art under §§102(a)-(b), (e).
`
`6. U.S. 2012/0197743 (“Grigg”, APPL-1012); filed February 21, 2012,
`
`published August 2, 2012, and prior art under §§102(a), (e).
`
`7. U.S. 2009/0183120 (“Ording”, APPL-1016); filed March 24, 2009,
`
`published July 16, 2009, and prior art under §§102(a)-(b), (e).
`
`8. U.S. 9,116,596 (“Roman”, APPL-1017); filed September 29, 2012, and prior
`
`art under §102(e).
`
`These references are analogous art because they are in the same field of
`
`endeavor as the ʼ692 patent (applications relating to mobile payment, including
`
`relating to electronic wallets) and/or are reasonably pertinent to a problem with
`
`which the ʼ692 patent’s inventor was involved (visual display techniques for
`
`interacting with a user). EX1003, ¶¶51, 58, 63, 65, 70, 230, 248, 259, 268; APPL-

`
`B. Summary of Independent-Claim Grounds
`
`The grounds combine a number of references because the Challenged
`
`
`
`Claims recite a collection of well-known technologies, such as default credit cards,
`
`numerical representation of a timer, a drag-and-drop user interface interaction, etc.
`
`The combination of Hertel, Chitti, Spodak, and Tedesco renders independent
`
`Claims 1 and 13 obvious, as a predictable combination of well-known features.
`
`Hertel’s e-wallet provides a routine drag-and-drop method for selecting a payment
`
`method for temporary use. Similarly, Chitti’s e-wallet discloses a temporary
`
`payment card because it uses a “default” card for payment, which a user may
`
`override by selecting another card (i.e., a temporary payment card).
`
`13
`
`

`

`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 10,223,692
`
`Spodak uses a temporary card for a given time period. When time expires,
`
`Spodak’s e-wallet reverts to the default card. A POSITA would have used this time
`
`limit with a user-selected temporary card. While Spodak does not disclose a visual
`
`or numerical representation of its timer, it was well-known to display a numerical
`
`and graphical representation of a timer, as in Tedesco, though those display
`
`limitations ([1.5]-[1.7.2]) do not have patentable weight (see Section VII.B).
`
`As described below, a POSITA would have been motivated to modify Hertel
`
`to include the well-known features above (Chitti’s temporary payment card,
`
`Spodak’s timer for a temporary card, and Tedesco’s numerical and graphical
`
`representation of a timer). APPL-1003, ¶71. A POSITA would have had a
`
`reasonable expectation success in making such a combination because all of the
`
`features could be implemented in software, as shown by the fact that these features
`
`were well-known concepts already used in mobile applications. APPL-1003, ¶71.
`
`C. Ground 1: Claims 1-4 and 11-13 would have been obvious over
`Hertel in view of Chitti, Spodak, and Tedesco.
`
`1. Overview of Hertel
`
`Hertel describes an e-wallet for financial transactions. APPL-1005, ¶175.
`
`Hertel’s e-wallet includes “payment instrument[s],” i.e., digital objects to transfer
`
`value from user to vendor (e.g., credit cards, gift cards, coupons, etc.). APPL-1005,
`
`¶190, ¶58, ¶¶103-104.
`
`Hertel describes a “payment receptacle control which can receive all digital
`
`14
`
`

`

`Petition for Inter Partes Review of U.S. Patent No. 10,223,692
`
`objects that can act as payment instruments allowing the user to apply them to a
`
`transaction but also acts as a dispenser which allows the user to drag payment
`
`instruments back out in order to roll back their application.” APPL-1005, ¶¶70, 106-
`
`109, Fig. 17. Payment receptacles may be in the e-wallet. APPL-1005, ¶¶69-70,
`
`76, 184.
`
`2. Overview of Chitti
`
`Chitti pertains to multiple “virtual” payment cards (e.g., credit cards) on a
`
`mobile phone in an e-wallet. APPL-1006, ¶¶23-24.
`
`Chitti recognized navigating through many virtual cards to select one may be
`
`cumbersome. APPL-1006, ¶¶24-25. Chitti streamlined this by providing a “virtual
`
`wallet” storing multiple cards and employing a “default” card, yet allowing a user
`
`to select another card for a particular transaction. APPL-1006, ¶¶24-25, Abstract.
`
`Chitti describes a portable electronic device (e.g., a mobile phone) with a
`
`“virtual card application” to manage virtual payment cards. APPL-1006, Abstract.
`
`Chitti’s “top of the wallet card” is used as “the default card” and is determined
`
`based on a priority for each card, which may be based on location, schedule, user
`
`input, etc. APPL-1006, Abstract. For example, the default card may be the main
`
`card a user historically uses for payments. APPL-1006, ¶¶26-27. Chitti’s “default
`
`card” is used for payments unless a user selects another card. Id.
