`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`1.
`
`I have been retained by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Samsung
`
`Electronics America, Inc. (collectively, “Samsung” or “Petitioner”), as an
`
`independent expert in this proceeding before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
`
`(“PTAB” or “Board”). I understand that Samsung is requesting that the Board
`
`institute an inter partes review (“IPR”) proceeding of U.S. Patent No. 10,198,085
`
`(“the ’085 Patent”) (Ex-1001), currently assigned to Slyde Analytics LLC (“Patent
`
`Owner” or “PO”).
`
`2.
`
`I am not and have never been an employee of Samsung. I am being
`
`compensated at my usual and customary rate of $600 per hour. No part of my
`
`compensation depends on the outcome of this proceeding, and I have no other
`
`interest in this proceeding.
`
`3.
`
`I have been asked to provide my independent analysis of the ’085 Patent
`
`in light of the prior art publications cited below. I have also been asked to consider
`
`the state of the art and prior art available as of October 18, 2011. Based on the prior
`
`art discussed in this declaration, it is my opinion that Claims 1-10 of the ’085 Patent
`
`are unpatentable for the reasons provided below.
`
`A. Qualifications
`
`4.
`
`I am currently Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at the
`
`University of Maryland (“UMD”). From 2014 to 2018, I was the Associate Provost

`

`U.S. Patent No. 10,198,085
`Declaration of Benjamin B. Bederson
`
`of Learning Initiatives and Executive Director of the Teaching and Learning
`
`Transformation Center at the UMD. I am a member and previous director of the
`
`Human-Computer Interaction Lab (“HCIL”), the oldest and one of the best known
`
`Human-Computer Interaction (“HCI”) research groups in the country. I am the co-
`
`founder of the J.S. Bryant School, a therapeutic high school planned to open in 2025.
`
`I was also co-founder and Chief Scientist of Zumobi, Inc. from 2006 to 2014, a
`
`Seattle-based startup that is a publisher of content applications and advertising
`
`platforms for smartphones. I am also co-founder and co-director of the International
`
`Children’s Digital Library (“ICDL”), a web site launched in 2002 that provides the
`
`world’s largest collection of freely available online children’s books from around
`
`the world with an interface aimed to make it easy for children and adults to search
`
`and read children’s books online. I was also cofounder and Chief Technology
`
`Officer of Hazel Analytics, a data analytics company to improve food safety and
`
`better public health whose product sends alerts in warranted circumstances. In
`
`addition, I have for more than 25 years consulted for numerous companies in the
`
`area of user interfaces, including Hillcrest Labs, Lockheed Martin, Logitech,
`
`Microsoft, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, the Palo Alto Research Center, and
`
`Sony.
`
`5.
`
`For more than 30 years, I have studied, designed, and worked in the
`
`field of computer science and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). My experience

`Petitioner Samsung Ex-1002, 0009
`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 10,198,085
`Declaration of Benjamin B. Bederson
`
`includes 30 years of teaching and research, with research interests in HCI and the
`
`software and technology underlying today’s interactive computing systems. This
`
`includes the design and implementation of hardware and software systems including
`
`graphical user interfaces with capacitive and other touch screen sensors, and
`
`interactive applications on a range of devices, including embedded systems,
`
`controllers, smart phones, and PDAs.
`
`6.
`
`At UMD, I am focused primarily on the area of HCI, a field that relates
`
`to the development and understanding of computing systems to serve users’ needs.
`
`Researchers and practitioners in this field are focused on making universally usable,
`
`useful, efficient, and appealing systems to support people in their wide range of
`
`activities. My approach is to balance the development of innovative technology that
`
`serves people’s practical needs. Example systems following this approach that I
`
`have built include Cortex-I (1992 embedded computer vision system that sensed
`
`licensed plates with custom motor, camera and controller), Audio Augmented
`
`Reality (1995 embedded system for sensing a user’s location and playing audio
`
`suited to that location), Fisheye Menus (2000 software for sensing movement within
`
`and selection of linear list of items in a menu), PhotoMesa (2001 software for end
`
`users to browse personal photos), DateLens (2002 software for end users to use their
`
`mobile devices to efficiently access their calendar information), SlideBar (2005
`
`linear sensor to control scrolling), LaunchTile (2005 “home screen” software for

`
`mobile devices to allow users to navigate apps in a zoomable environment),
`
`SpaceTree (2001 software for end users to efficiently browse very large hierarchies),
`
`ICDL (as described above), and StoryKit (a 2009 iPhone app for children to create
`
`stories).
`
`7.
`
`Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, I worked on a range of “zoomable
`
`user interfaces,” which are systems that support the multi-scale and spatial
`
`organization of and magnification-based navigation among multiple documents or
`
`visual objects. I built several different “ZUI” systems over the years, including
`
`Pad++, Jazz and Piccolo. In those systems, I used a range of solutions to allow users
`
`to control zooming through the information space. The most common approach for
`
`systems with three button mice was to use the middle button for zooming in and the
`
`right button for zooming out. See Ex-1023, p. 18. The user would hold the button
`
`down, and the system would smoothly animate zooming in or out – so that the user
`
`controlled how much the system zoomed based on the duration that the button was
`
`pressed. See id., pp. 20, 22.
`
`8.
`
`In 1995 and 1996, I supervised graduate student David Rogers and
`
`other students in the development of a user interface approach that allowed a user to
`
`“toss” an object across long distances on their screen with their mouse. See Ex-
`
`1024, p. 1. Motivated by increasingly large computer screens, we recognized a need
`
`to help users move items long distances without necessarily having to drag the item
`

`
`

`

`U.S. Patent No. 10,198,085
`Declaration of Benjamin B. Bederson
`
`that entire distance manually. See id. Instead, we calculated the speed and direction
`
`that the user dragged an object with their mouse. When a user released the mouse
`
`button, if the speed was greater than a threshold, our code calculated the path of
`
`where to animate the object based on several factors including the speed and
`
`direction of the mouse at the time of mouse button release. The figure below from
`
`a paper we wrote in 1996 shows the path of a tossed object. This resulted in David
`
`Rogers’s master’s thesis in 1995 and a paper that we submitted to the 1996
`
`Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 1996).

`
`In 1999 and 2000, I worked on a mechanism to address the challenge
`
`that users faced when selecting one item from a long menu. As I described in a paper
`
`entitled “Fisheye Menus” that I published in the 2000 Proceedings of the ACM
`
`Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology, existing techniques
`
`typically involved lengthy and slow scrolling techniques. See Ex-1025, p. 8. I
`
`created an alternative solution that fit all of the elements onto a single screen thereby
`
`completely eliminating the need to scroll. See Ex-1025, p. 1. This approach used the
`
`concept of “fisheye distortion” to shrink some of the elements, while keeping the
`
`elements that are under the cursor to be full size so the user could easily see and
`
`select them. See id. This approach as depicted in the figure below and described
`
`further in the paper, was later used in a number of commercial products such as the
`
`Apple MacOS Dock.

`
`
`
`10. Starting in 2000, I supervised graduate student Leslie Chipman who
`
`was working on a general solution to improve the user experience of people scrolling
`
`long documents on computers. Our solution relied on a passive haptic physical
`
`linear input device we called the “Slidebar.” See Ex-1026, p. 1. The Slidebar was
`
`designed to sit on either side of the keyboard to be used with the non-dominant hand
`
`for scanning and rough positioning, and then if the user wanted to switch to reading,
`
`the dominant hand could be used for more accurate positioning. See id. With a
`
`physical range of motion of approximately two inches, the full range could be
`
`accessed by moving just the fingers without moving the entire hand. See id. This

`
`took advantage of human proprioception⎯the fact that people have excellent ability
`
`to know where their body is⎯and allowed the user to scroll long documents
`
`completely eyes-free. See id, p. 4. They did not need to look at the device or the
`
`screen to, for example, move a mouse pointer to a graphical scroll bar. Instead, they
`
`could focus on their primary task of reading. This work was published in 2004.
`
`11.
`
`In April 2000, I visited Professors Wayne Westerman and John Elias at
`
`the University of Delaware and gave a talk entitled “Zoomable User Interfaces and
`
`Single Display Groupware.” This resulted in a collaboration with Professor
`
`Westerman, graduate student Hilary Browne, and others where we used their
`
`FingerWorks capacitive Multi-Touch Surface as the input device for a multi-touch
`
`finger painting program for children. See Ex-1027, p. 1. The project used this input
`
`device to support a computer painting program that allowed children to paint with
`
`their fingers by directly touching the sensing surface. In contrast to the mouse input
`
`more typically used in this time period, this approach enabled us to create a more
`
`natural interaction environment. See id. This work, depicted in the figure below,
`
`was published in a September 2000 technical report.

`
`Throughout the 2000’s, I worked on a range of interfaces for mobile
`
`devices with a focus on interface design for touch interfaces, including those with
`
`capacitive sensors. During this period, it became apparent that some positions on a
`
`screen were easier to access than others, especially when used with a single hand.
`
`To understand this issue, I led a range of studies that resulted in two papers published
`
`in 2006 and 2007. See, e.g., Ex-1028, Ex-1029. The following figure summarizes
`
`the results of one of the studies, and shows that generally speaking, when using a
`
`single hand, the center of the screens were easier for users to touch than the edges of
`
`the screen, and that the corners of the screen were the hardest positions to touch.

`
`13. This work on touch screen mobile devices led to my creation of Zumobi
`
`in 2006, where I was responsible for investigating new software platforms and
`
`developing new user interface designs that provide efficient and engaging interfaces
`
`to permit end users to access a wide range of content on mobile platforms (including
`
`the iPhone and Android-based devices). For example, I designed and implemented

`
`software called “Ziibii,” a “river” of news for iPhone that used a capacitive sensor
`
`for controlling linear movement through news; software called “ZoomCanvas,” a
`
`zoomable user interface for several iPhone apps; and iPhone apps including “Inside
`
`Xbox” for Microsoft and Snow Report for REI. At the ICDL, I have since 2002
`
`been the technical director responsible for the design and implementation of the web
`
`site, www.childrenslibrary.org (originally at www.icdlbooks.org). In particular, I
`
`have been closely involved in designing the user interface as well as the software
`
`architecture for the web site since its inception in 2002.
`
`14. Throughout my design, development, and study of mobile systems, I
`
`was aware of and considered the impact of my work on the power usage and battery
`
`life of the device. In fact, going back to a miniaturized computer vision system I
`
`built as part of my dissertation, I considered power usage of the systems I built. For
`
`example, a 1995 paper I wrote described a mobile computer system including a
`
`movable camera explaining that it takes up less than “a third of a cubic foot” and
`
`that the “long-range goal of this project is to demonstrate that major new applications
`
`of robotics will become feasible when small, low-cost, machine-vision systems can
`
`be mass produced. Ex-1051, 101. We use the term ‘commodity robotics’ to express
`
`the expected impact of the possibilities for opening up new application niches in
`
`robotics and machine vision, for what has until now been an expensive, and therefore
`
`limited, technology.” Id. While the prototype I built was plugged in for power, I

`
`measured its power usage with the recognition that it would be suitable to develop a
`
`battery powered version. “The system is powered from a standard 110-volt AC line,
`
`but uses less than 25 watts and could be battery powered.” Id., 103.
`
`
`
`15.
`
`I published a 2010 paper that used an integrated accelerometer in a
`
`mobile device that used tilt to select a command along the direction of movement.
`
`The middle images in the figure below show how a rectangle could be selected by
`
`tilting that would then apply a visual format to text. As I explained in the paper,
`
`“[g]estures exceeding 30 degree changes from a continually updated ‘neutral’
`
`position were recognized as a command along the direction of movement.” Ex-

`
`
`
`16. Beginning in the mid-1990s, I have been responsible for the design and
`
`implementation of numerous other web sites in addition to the ICDL. For example,
`
`I designed and built my own professional web site when I was an Assistant Professor
`
`of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico in 1995 and have continued
`
`to design, write the code for, and update both that site (which I moved to the UMD
`
`in 1998, currently at http://www.cs.umd.edu/~bederson/) as well as numerous
`
`project web sites, such as Pad++, http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/pad++/. I received
`
`the Janet Fabri Memorial Award for Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation for my Ph.D.
`
`work in robotics and computer vision. I have combined my hardware and software
`
`skills throughout my career in HCI research, building various interactive electrical
`
`and mechanical systems that couple with software to provide an innovative user
`
`experience.

`
`17. My work has been published extensively in more than 160 technical
`
`publications, and I have given about 100 invited talks, including 9 keynote lectures.
`
`I have won a number of awards including the Brian Shackel Award for “outstanding
`
`contribution with international impact in the field of HCI” in 2007, and the Social
`
`Impact Award in 2010 from the Association for Computing Machinery’s (“ACM”)
`
`Special Interest Group on Computer Human Interaction (“SIGCHI”). ACM is the
`
`primary international professional community of computer scientists, and SIGCHI
`
`is the primary international professional HCI community. I have been honored by
`
`both professional organizations. I am an “ACM Distinguished Scientist,” which
`
`“recognizes those ACM members with at least 15 years of professional experience
`
`and 5 years of continuous Professional Membership who have achieved significant
`
`accomplishments or have made a significant impact on the computing field.” I am
`
`a member of the “CHI Academy,” which is described as follows: “The CHI
`
`Academy is an honorary group of individuals who have made substantial
`
`contributions to the field of HCI. These are the principal leaders of the field, whose
`
`efforts have shaped the disciplines and/or industry and led the research and/or
`
`innovation in human-computer interaction.” The criteria for election to the CHI
`
`Academy are: (1) cumulative contributions to the field; (2) impact on the field
`
`through development of new research directions and/or innovations; and (3)
`
`influence on the work of others. I have received two “Test of Time” awards from
