`AGIS’s Construction
`Plain and ordinary meaning
`
`Samsung’s Construction
`“activates … to lock the display of
`the recipient PDA/cell phone until a
`response is selected from the
`response list”
`
`The ’970 patent and reexamination history make clear that “taking
`control” means locking the phone’s display until a response is selected

`Claim 10
`
`10. A method of receiving, acknowledging and responding to a forced message
`alert from a sender PDA/cell phone to a recipient PDA/cell phone, wherein the
`receipt, acknowledgment, and response to said forced message alert is forced by a
`forced message alert software application program, said method comprising the steps
`of:
`receiving an electronically transmitted electronic message;
`identifying said electronic message as a forced message alert, wherein said forced
`message alert comprises of a voice or text message and a forced message alert
`application software packet, which triggers the activation of the forced message
`alert software application program within the recipient PDA/cell phone;
`transmitting an automatic acknowledgment of receipt
`to the sender PDA/cell
`phone, which triggers the forced message alert software application
`program to take control of the recipient PDA/cell phone and show the
`content of the text message and a required response list on the display recipient
`PDA/cell phone or to repeat audibly the content of the voice message on the
`speakers of the recipient PDA/cell phone and show the required response list on
`the display recipient PDA/cell phone; and
`transmitting a selected required response from the response list in order to allow
`the message required response list to be cleared from the recipient's cell phone
`display, whether said selected response is a chosen option from the response
`list, causing the forced message alert software to release control of the recipient
`PDA/cell phone and stop showing the content of the text message and a
`response list on the display recipient PDA/cell phone and or stop repeating the
`content of the voice message on the speakers of the recipient PDA/cell phone;
`displaying the response received from the PDA cell phone that transmitted the
`response on the sender of the forced alert PDA/cell phone; and…

`
`Defendant’s Proposal Tracks the Specification
`’970 Patent
`
`Taking Control of the Display – Until
`the Response Is Selected
`The ’970 patent makes clear
`that the phone display is locked
`until a response is selected

`Defendants’ Proposal Is Consistent
`With the Prosecution History
`’970 Patent Reexamination History
`
`Dkt. 97-1 (Ex. 1, ’970 Reexam. History) at 1850
`
`Examiner interprets “taking control” as locking the
`phone’s display until a response is selected from the
`response list in order to clear the list from the display
`
`
`
`AGIS Agreed to “Locking” the Display at the ITC
