`CLAIM LISTING
`
`Limitation
`1. A method of generating content that is renderable by a wireless
`device, said method comprising:
`transmitting, to said wireless device, an identification of a custom
`configuration of a plurality of rendering blocks of said wireless device,
`wherein said custom configuration is associated with an application and
`configures said plurality of rendering blocks to render content in a
`manner customized to said application; and
`transmitting, to said wireless device, compiled content comprising (i)
`first compiled content specific to a first page of said application and (ii)
`second compiled content specific to a second page of said application,
`wherein said compiled content is generated in part from execution of
`said application,
`wherein said compiled content comprises render commands expressed
`in a syntax that is generic to said wireless device, and
`wherein said custom configuration is applicable to said first and second
`compiled content,
`wherein said compiled content and said custom configuration are
`usable by a graphical user interface comprising said plurality of
`rendering blocks to generate renderable content based on said compiled
`content and said custom configuration.
`2. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said renderable content
`comprises audio content and display content.
`3. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said compiled content is
`partially resultant from said application operating on a remote server.
`4. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said compiled content is
`specific to the rendering capabilities of said wireless device.
`5. A method as described in claim 1 wherein each of said plurality of
`rendering blocks operates specific to a wireless device type of said
`wireless device and each is instructed using a syntax that is generic to
`said wireless device type.
`6. A method as described in claim 5 wherein said custom configuration
`comprises a syntax that is generic regarding said wireless device type.
`7. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said custom configuration
`comprises configuration information and content specific to said
`application.
`8. A method as described in claim 1 wherein said custom configuration
`is one of a plurality of memory-stored custom configurations stored by
`said wireless device, and wherein said method further comprises
`transmitting an identifier that identifies said custom configuration.

`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`Petitioner identifies Hariki’s “web browser” as the claimed “application” for
`
`some limitations, while Petitioner identifies a Hariki/Harris “web server” for others.
`
`However, the claims concern a single application with specific limitations that
`
`neither Hariki’s web browser nor Hariki/Harris’ web server individually meet.
`
`The Hariki/Harris web server cannot be the claimed “application” because
`
`Petitioner-identified “custom configuration,” a “UI skin,” does not configure a
`
`plurality of rendering blocks of said wireless device to render content in a manner
`
`customized to the web server. Hariki’s UI skin is not custom designed for a web
`
`server. The UI skin changes the appearance of a wireless device, and does not affect,
`
`and is not affected by, a disclosed web server supplying HTML. A Hariki/Harris
`
`web server sends the same HTML in response to the same request, regardless of
`
`whether the requestor is using a UI skin, and, if so, what UI skin is in use, and, vice
`
`versa, the device processes the same HTML the same way, regardless of what web
`
`server sent the HTML.
`
`Likewise, Hariki’s web browser cannot be the claimed “application” for at
`
`least three reasons. First, Hariki’s web browser does not transmit the Petitioner-
`
`identified “compiled content”—i.e., HTML pages to a wireless device. Hariki’s web
`
`browsers receive HTML content, they do not transmit it. Second, Hariki’s web
`
`browser is not a remote application from the wireless device. Hariki’s web browser
`
`- 1 -
`
`

`

`IPR2023-00757
`
`
`
`Patent 8,989,715
`
`is a local application, running entirely on a wireless device. And third, Hariki’s web
`
`browser does not generate—even in part—the HTML pages. The HTML files may
`
`be remotely generated with Harris’ mobile content framework (“MCF”), but not a
`
`single character in the HTML file is produced by Hariki’s web browser.
`
`Moreover, the Petitioner-identified “custom configuration” (i.e., Hariki’s UI
`
`skin), is not “applicable to” the Petitioner-identified “compiled content” (i.e., the
`
`HTML files from the Hariki/Harris server). Petitioner and the Board have taken the
`
`position that because a UI skin is usable by Hariki’s web browser that the UI skin
`
`must be similarly usable by HTML within the web browser. However, there is no
`
`teaching that the HTML pages sent to the web browser use the UI skin configured
`
`“rendering blocks,” and Petitioner has not shown that this ability is inherent. To the
`
`contrary, because Harris provides the option to make sure that the HTML files are
`
`“displayed correctly” remotely from the wireless device, and before the HTML files
`
`are even sent to a web browser that might access the UI skin on a wireless device,
`
`the HTML files cannot be using the UI skin.
`
`II. OVERVIEW OF THE PATENT-AT-ISSUE
`A. Subject Matter
`Circa August 1, 2007, wireless devices generally ran “application[s] locally.”
`
`Ex. 1001 2:3–5. And there were multiple types of portable wireless devices,
`
`multiple manufacturers of each type of device, multiple models from each
`
`- 2 -
`
`

`

`IPR2023-00757
`
`
`
`Patent 8,989,715
`
`manufacturer, and multiple versions of each model. Id. 1:21–32. Each particular
`
`combination of type, manufacturer, model, and version of a device potentially had
`
`unique “device attributes” (i.e., rendering capability, display resolution, color
`
`capability, display size, etc.). Id. 1:32–36; 11:20–31; 11:43–56.
`
`Therefore, developers that wished to write an application to run on multiple
`
`devices and “fully utilize” each device’s attributes had to tailor versions of the
`
`application per device, building each one “from the ground up.” Id. 1:37–43; 51–
`
`54. Given that providers had to pay to develop, debug, and qualify every version of
`
`an application, id. 1:44–47, many software developers simply chose to limit their
`
`titles to a few platforms, id. 1:62–67.
`
`Additionally, maintenance of an application (i.e., upgrades, updates, and
`
`patches to the code) across target platforms similarly required a costly per-device
`
`effort. Id. 2:1–7. And even if the application developer did provide updates, many
`
`users failed to install the update to the locally running applications because it was a
`
`“laborious process” of “navigating through multiple pages in order to determine
`
`whether an update [was] ready” and “actively initiat[ing] the update process.”
`
`Id. 2:7–14.
`
`In light of the state of application development at the time, the Patent-at-Issue
`
`contemplates a method and system for rendering centrally running remote
`
`applications on a wireless device where: (1) the application “output . . . is device
`
`- 3 -
`
`

`

`IPR2023-00757
`
`
`
`Patent 8,989,715
`
`specific based on the wireless device attributes,” id. 2:22–26, with its own “look and
`
`feel,” id. 7:55–63; 10:56–58; 18:37–42; yet (2) the developers can still write a
`
`“generic application” being less concerned with “tailoring their applications for a
`
`given device type,” id. 2:22–26. Additionally, the claimed solution allows for
`
`developers to maintain applications centrally, “eliminating the need to update/patch
`
`each application on each wireless device.” Id. 2:37–43.
