`
`A.
`
`Claim 4
`
`157.
`
`It is my opinion that Apple literally infringes claim 4 of the ’991 Patent.
`
`158. Claim 4 depends from claim 3, which depends from claim 2, which depends from
`
`claim 1. I will therefore discuss claims 1-4 below.
`
`1.
`
`Claim 1
`
`159. Claim 1 is infringed by each of the Accused Products at least because each of
`
`them includes components that correspond to a communication apparatus for transmitting and
`
`receiving digital information from another communication apparatus, a network interface, a
`
`camera, a display, and a processor for making and receiving FaceTime calls with another
`
`communication apparatus. Evidence of the infringement is shown in my element-by-element
`
`analysis below:
`
`[1.pre] “A communication apparatus for transmitting and receiving
`2.
`digital information to and from another communication apparatus, comprising:”
`
`160.
`
`It is my opinion that each of the Accused Products is a “communication apparatus
`
`for transmitting and receiving digital information to and from another communication apparatus”
`
`as required by claim element [1.pre] of the ’991 Patent. For example, each of the Accused
`
`Products include the FaceTime application indicating that they can receive and transmit digital
`
`information to another communication apparatus.
`
`161. As noted above, the Court construed “communication apparatus” to be a
`
`“videophone function-added TV receiver.” In my opinion, the Accused ’991 Products
`
`correspond to a videophone function-added TV receiver.
`
`162.
`
`For example, the ’991 Patent discloses an embodiment in which a decoder is
`
`adapted to decode TV/VOD signals as well as videophone signals. The ’991 Patent discloses that

`
`the signals to be decoded can received at a network interface and/or an antenna. In addition, the
`
`’991 Patent explains that:
`
`FIG. 4 is a plan view of an example of the wireless remote control 7 shown
`in FIGS. 1 and 2. This remote control 7 has on its front panel several manual
`operation buttons, including a “Power” button 7a, “TV” button 7b, “VOD”
`button 7c, “Phone” button 7d, “Program Guide” button 7e, “Search” button 7f,
`“Title List” button 7g, “Timer Rec” button 7h, up-down/right-left arrow
`buttons 7i in cross-like layout, “Enter” button 7j, sound volume adjustment
`buttons 7k, channel select buttons 7l, “Video Rec” button 7m1, “Play” button 7m2,
`“Pause” button 7m3, “REW” button 7m4, “FF” button 7m5 and “Stop” button 7n.

`
`Thus, the patent describes an embodiment where a user has the ability to select the VOD, or
`
`video on demand button 7c, which corresponds to, for example, a user accessing content from
`
`iTunes, Safari, and/or Apple TV on demand.
`
`163.
`
`The ’991 Patent further describes what happens when the VOD button is selected:
`
`When the “VOD” button 7 b (FIG. 4) of the remote control 7 is operated, the
`decoder 11 executes
`the VOD-use decode function under control of
`the
`processor 12; then, the HTML browser 13 is rendered operative, followed by
`setup of the VOD function mode.
`
`Then, the VOD contents from the VOD server 21 (FIG. 3) which are received at
`the network I/F 15 are such that moving-picture image contents and still image
`contents plus audio contents thereof are decoded by the decoder 11 and then
`supplied to the display panel 8 and speakers 3, resulting in visualization and
`reproduction of these contents. Text data in the VOD contents is supplied to
`the HTML browser 13 and converted into data displayable on the display
`screen 2 and then supplied to the display panel 8. It is noted that although not
`specifically depicted herein, the contents to be provided from the VOD
`server 21 are supplied to the decoder 11 and/or the HTML browser 13 for
`viewing/listening and playback at the user's desired time and also supplied to the
`display panel 8 and speakers 3 for enabling the contents to be reproduced thereby.
`
`Additionally, when the “VOD” button 7 b of the remote control 7 is depressed, a
`request signal is transmitted from the processor 12 to the VOD server 21 through
`the network I/F 15 and network 6. In responding thereto, data of titles of all
`contents available from the VOD server 21 are provided. The title data is passed
`to the HTML browser 13 through the network I/F 15 whereby a title list
`window image or “menu” is generated and supplied to the display panel 8.
`When the user's preferred contents are designated from this menu window by
`manual operations of the cross-like layout arrow buttons 7 i and “Enter”
`button 7 j, the processor 12 issues and sends a request of the contents to the VOD
`server 21 via the network I/F 15 and network 6. With this procedure, the VOD
`contents requested are provided from the VOD server 21 and are processed in the
`way stated supra so that the contents are displayed on the display screen 2 of
`display panel 8 while letting audio sounds thereof be output from the speakers 3.

`
`contents”); 8:66-9:5, 9:21-24, 10:5-12. Thus, in VOD mode, the device communicates to the
`
`server via an HTML browser to retrieve content, which is decoded and then rendered on the
`
`display.
`
`164.
`
`Similar to this disclosed embodiment, the Accused Products can access a content
`
`server via, for example, an HTML browser (e.g., Safari), retrieve/process/decode the content and
`
`then render it on a display screen. Thus, the accused products correspond to a videophone
`
`function-added TV receiver as disclosed in the VOD model in the context of requesting and
`
`viewing digital content from a content server.
`
`165. Moreover, my interpretation of a videophone function-added TV receiver is also
`
`supported by the following definitions:
`
`a. Television receiver: “an electronic device that receives television signals and
`
`displays
`
`them
`
`on
`
`a
`
`screen”
`
`
`

`
`b. Television receiver: “an electronic device that receives television signals and

`
`screen”

`
`
`(MAXELL_APPLE0262936-

`MAXELL_APPLE0262937)
`
`c. Television receiver: “a television receiving set” (MAXELL_APPLE0262939-
`
`MAXELL_APPLE0262947)
`
`166.
`
`In addition, Apple markets its TV app as a way to watch TV:
