Samsung Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only 1 attempts to scroll the electronic document beyond its edge, the iPhone 4 displays an area beyond 2 the edge of the electronic document along with a third smaller portion of the electronic document. 3 When the user lifts his finger from the touch screen, the electronic document moves back into 4 place to fill the screen, and a fourth portion of the electronic document different from the first 5 portion is displayed. 6 49. Based on my examination of the aforementioned Apple products, I conclude that 7 they practice the asserted apparatus and system claims of the ’381 patent, and their ordinary and 8 intended use practices the asserted method claims of the ’381 patent. I have examined portions of 9 the source code for Apple’s iOS version 4.1 operating system and confirmed the behavior I saw 10 on the iPhone 4 in the following source code modules: the UIScrollView class or subclass (for 11 example, UIWebBrowserView and UIWebDocumentView); the touch panel (e.g., Grape) driver; 12 UIKit classes; IOKit classes; SBHIDinterface.m; the SpringBoard application; and 13 UIPanGestureRecognizer class or subclasses. 14 50. Moreover, my examination was further confirmed by the testimony of the inventor 15 of the ’381 patent, Bas Ording, who testified generally that certain applications on an iPhone 4 16 behaved in a manner consistent with his ideas in the ’381 patent. (Ording 8/9/11 Dep. Tr. at 17 198:6 – 201:3.) 18 D. Samsung’s Emulation Of Apple And The Features Of The ’381 Patent 19 51. I have also reviewed a number of documents produced by Samsung in this 20 litigation, including analyses of features in Apple products and email messages. Based on my 21 review of these documents, it appears that Samsung studied a number of Apple products that 22 embody the asserted claims of the ’381 patent, recognized the benefits of the ’381 patent, and 23 implemented the features of the ’381 patent in Samsung products. 24 52. As just one example, in the document titled “Behold3 Usability Evaluation 25 Results” (SAMNDCA00508318 – 508411), Samsung evaluated its Behold3 phone against 26 Apple’s iPhone. (SAMNDCA00508331; see translations of excerpts in Apple’s Appendix of 27 Certified Translations in Support of Opening Expert Reports (“Translations App’x”).) This 28 evaluation concluded that Samsung’s “Behold3 [was] shown inferior to Apple’s iPhone in both EXPERT REPORT OF RAVIN BALAKRISHNAN, PH.D. REGARDING INFRINGEMENT OF THE ‘381 PATENT Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK 13 Apple v. Samsung Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only 1 the task success rate (68.5%) and satisfaction score (86).” (SAMNDCA00508333.) On a page 2 titled “Aesthetics_Browsing,” the document notes that the iPhone has “a ‘bouncing’ visual 3 effect,” which “generates fun for the user,” while the Behold3 has “no visual effect” when “a web 4 page is dragged to its endpoint.” (SAMNDCA00508383.) On that page, there is a side by side 5 comparison between the Behold3 and the iPhone, where the rubber-banding feature of the ’381 6 patent is being demonstrated on a web page displayed on the iPhone. (Id.) Specifically, the 7 displayed web page is being pulled to the upper right hand corner, revealing an area beyond the 8 edge of the web page to the left and below. (Id.) The caption notes that “If a web page is 9 dragged to the edge, and the hand is released, a ‘bouncing’ visual effect is provided.” At the 10 bottom of the page, following the column “Direction of Improvement,” is a direction to “Provide 11 a fun visual effect when dragging a web page.” (Id.) Based on the existence of this feature in the 12 Samsung devices I examined, it appears that this instruction was carried out. 13 53. As another example, in the document titled “P5 Usability Evaluation Results” 14 (SAMNDCA00176053 – 176171; see translation of excerpts in Translations App’x), Samsung 15 evaluated a prototype of its “GT-P7300” (the Galaxy Tab 8.9) against Apple’s iPad 2. 16 (SAMNDCA00176053.) The document notes that the “GUI and Visual Effect are lacking in 17 comparison to iPad 2.” (SAMNDCA00176055.) Subsequently, the evaluation notes that when a 18 Browser application window is scrolled to the top or bottom, the P5 “lack[s] bounce effect,” and 19 that the Samsung’s product “Lacks Fun, Wow Effect.” (SAMNDCA00176071.) This issue 20 appears to have been designated “Critical,” with the direction that the “Bounce effect is scheduled 21 to be reviewed.” (Id.) Later in the evaluation, there is a side by side comparison between the P5 22 and the iPad 2, where the rubber-banding feature of the ’381 patent is being demonstrated on a 23 web page displayed on the iPad 2. (SAMNDCA00176125.) Specifically, the displayed web page 24 is being pulled to the lower right hand corner, revealing an area beyond the edge of the web page 25 to the left and above. (Id.) To the right, it states that “In case of iPad 2, there is a fun element 26 from a natural Bounce effect that follows hand gestures.” (Id.) Based on this statement, it 27 appears that Samsung understood at least part of the purpose and value of the rubber banding 28 feature of the ’381 patent, which were to provide a natural, intuitive experience for the user that EXPERT REPORT OF RAVIN BALAKRISHNAN, PH.D. REGARDING INFRINGEMENT OF THE ‘381 PATENT Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK 14 Apple v. Samsung Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only 1 could also inspire wonder and a sense of delight. On the other hand, the P5 prototype is described 2 as lacking the “Bounce effect.” (Id.) Finally, the evaluation notes as an area for “Proposed 3 Improvement” of the P5 the incorporation of the “Bounce effect” from the iPad 2. (Id.) 4 54. I have also reviewed a spreadsheet titled “Analysis of Galaxy tab Operation Speed 5 and Screen Effects” (SAMNDCA00201771 – 201780; see translation in Translations App’x.) 6 This ten-page chart shows a detailed side-by-side comparison and analysis of over 70 features in 7 the iPad and the Galaxy Tab. Samsung concluded that its Memo and Browser applications had 8 “no emotional impact” because they lacked the “Bounce effect” included in the iPad. 9 (SAMNDCA00201773-6.) As discussed above, the “bouncing” or “bounce” feature described in 10 Samsung’s documents is an example of a feature covered by the ’381 patent. Based on my 11 analysis of the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 10.1, I conclude that Samsung implemented this 12 feature in the Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 10.1 products as well. 13 55. I understand that Samsung has identified Mr. Wookyun Kho as a person involved 14 in the implementation of the “bounce” feature in Samsung products. (See Samsung’s 15 Supplemental Response to Apple’s Interrogatory No. 16.) Based on Samsung emails and the 16 portions of the Wookyun Kho deposition transcript I reviewed, it appears that Mr. Kho studied 17 the “bounce” or “bouncing” feature in various Apple products including the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 18 4, iPad, and iPad 2 in order to improve Samsung’s products. (See, e.g., W. Kho 1/12/12 Dep. Tr. 19 at 40:1-44:11, 48:18-49:21.) In particular, Mr. Kho appears to have worked with an outside 20 contractor company called NemusTech to emulate the features of the iPad and make the “bounce 21 effect” in Samsung’s Galaxy Tab prototype similar to the iPad. (SAMNDCA10851706-7; 22 SAMNDCA10850604-6; see translations in Translations App’x.) 23 56. Other documents I have reviewed also indicate that Samsung carried out extensive 24 analysis of various Apple products and emulated many of Apple’s features beyond the ’381 25 patent features discussed above. For example, in December 2007, Samsung analyzed various 26 multi-touch features of the iPhone and compared the iPhone with non-touch-based phones from 27 other competitors. (SAMNDCA11394122-26; see translation of excerpts in Translations App’x.) 28 Observing that the iPhone represented a “new paradigm” in the mobile phone market and EXPERT REPORT OF RAVIN BALAKRISHNAN, PH.D. REGARDING INFRINGEMENT OF THE ‘381 PATENT Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK 15 Apple v. Samsung Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only 1 provided “Intuitive, Inventive UI,” Samsung considered an internal development proposal for 2 implementing the touch features of the iPhone, including multi-touch features, in its future 3 products. (SAMNDCA11394125, 31, 32.) 4 57. In April 2008, Samsung compared the iPhone and the phones from other 5 competitors with its products. (SAMNDCA00229011-108.) None of the phones from Samsung 6 or other competitors had the iPhone’s multi-touch user interface. (SAMNDCA00229018.) 7 Samsung remarked that the iPhone had a “highly animated interface,” and that it was “a delight to 8 the eye as well as a highly usable device.” (SAMNDCA00229020.) Samsung conducted many 9 more detailed studies of the iPhone user interface from 2008 to 2010 comparing it with various 10 Samsung products and/or other competitors’ products. (SAMDNCA10248844-913; 11 SAMNDCA10244357-412; SAMNDCA10993206-211; SAMNDCA10252803-841; 12 SAMNDCA10988469-504.) 13 58. Although Samsung looked at phones from most of its competitors, Samsung had 14 decided by the end of 2009 to follow the design of the iPhone. For example, the “CEO’s 15 Directives” given out in December 2009 included a direction that “[g]oing forward our 16 comparison standard is Apple iPhone.” (SAMNDCA10907803; see translation in Translations 17 App’x.) In March 2010, an email from a high level UX (user experience) designer at Samsung 18 conveyed the CEO’s message that “strongly criticized Samsung UX’s mindset of ‘clinging to the 19 past generation’,” which the designer interpreted as an “instruction to think about and decide all 20 matters from the perspective of the user,” the most representative example of which was 21 “obviously the iPhone.” (SAMNDCA10247549; see translation in Translations App’x.) 22 59. A Samsung report dated April 2, 2010, titled “Next Phase UX Direction” 23 summarized the status of the Samsung UX as: “Benchmarking iPhone led to cut and paste 24 improvements resulting in lack of consistent philosophy.” (SAMNDCA10998232; see translation 25 of excerpts in Translations App’x.) The same document characterized the “Philosophy and 26 Characteristics” of the iPhone’s UX as “Easy and simple Usability,” “Modern and minimal Look 27 & style,” and “Emotional and joyful Experiencing.” (SAMNDCA10998214.) I understand that 28 Samsung’s Galaxy S phone was released in the United States during the summer of 2010. EXPERT REPORT OF RAVIN BALAKRISHNAN, PH.D. REGARDING INFRINGEMENT OF THE ‘381 PATENT Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK 16 Apple v. Samsung Confidential – Attorneys’ Eyes Only 1 60. Additional Samsung documents show that Samsung continued its analysis of 2 Apple and its examination and comparison of Apple products, including the iPhone, iPad, and 3 iPad 2, throughout 2010 and 2011. (See SAMNDCA00203811-3879; SAMNDCA00203880- 4 4010; SAMNDCA00229399-9409; SAMNDCA00229449-9451; SAMNDCA00525347-5349; 5 SAMNDCA00525353-5356; SAMNDCA00525362; SAMNDCA10244357-4412; 6 SAMNDCA10247283-7372; SAMNDCA10252803-2841; SAMNDCA10988469-88504; 7 SAMNDCA10989107-9179; SAMNDCA10989363-9379; SAMNDCA10989840-9941; 8 SAMNDCA10990627-0713; SAMNDCA10992025-2057; SAMNDCA10992072-2131; 9 SAMNDCA10993206-3226; SAMNDCA10997825-7879; SAMNDCA10998016-8035; 10 SAMNDCA11289451-9473; and SAMNDCA11313301-3303; see select translations in 11 Translations App’x.) 12 E. Samsung’s Knowledge of the ’381 Patent 13 61. I understand that Samsung knew of the ’381 patent by no later than August 27, 14 2010. On that day, Chip Lutton, counsel for Apple, sent an email to K.J. Kim, counsel for 15 Samsung, that attached two presentations that identified the ’381 patent and provided an overview 16 of its features. (See APLNDC00001101-1102 (email), APLNDC00001103-1123 (presentation 17 identifying ’381 patent), and APLNDC00001126-1192 (’381 overview at (1152-1153).)) 18 F. Samsung’s Infringement of Claim 1 of the ’381 Patent 19 62. Claim 1. Claim 1 of the ’381 patent recites: 20 A computer-implemented method, comprising: 21 [a] at a device with a touch screen display: 22 [b] displaying a first portion of an electronic document; 23 [c] detecting a movement of an object on or near the touch screen display; in response to detecting the movement, translating the electronic document displayed on the touch screen display in a first direction to display a second portion of the electronic document, wherein the second portion is different from the first portion; 24 25 26 27 28 [d] in response to an edge of the electronic document being reached while translating the electronic document in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display: displaying an area beyond the edge of the document, and displaying EXPERT REPORT OF RAVIN BALAKRISHNAN, PH.D. REGARDING INFRINGEMENT OF THE ‘381 PATENT Case No. 11-cv-01846-LHK 17 EXHIBIT 3 Exhibit 3 – Infringement Claim Chart for U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 A computer-implemented method, comprising: at a device with a touch screen display: Representative Samsung Products The Exhibit 4G phone is a mobile computing device with a touch screen display. (Exhibit 4G phone User Manual (APLNDC-Y0000066320).) (Vibrant User Manual (APLNDC-Y0000057339).) (Captivate User Manual (APLNDC-Y0000062795).) -1- Claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Representative Samsung Products (Galaxy Tab 10.1 User Manual (APLNDC-Y0000060376).) displaying a first portion of an electronic document; The Exhibit 4G phone includes an application called “Gallery” that displays electronic documents — more specifically, photographs — on the touch screen display. When running the “Gallery” application, the Exhibit 4G phone displays a first portion of a photograph. (Ex. V5.) detecting a movement of an object on or near the touch screen display; in response to detecting the movement, translating the electronic document displayed on the touch screen display in a first direction to display a second portion of the electronic The Exhibit 4G phone detects the movement of an “object” — for instance, a finger — on its touch screen. In response, it scrolls the photograph in the same direction to display a second, different portion of the photograph. (Ex. V5.) -2- Claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 document, wherein the second portion is different from the first portion; Representative Samsung Products The detection of a user’s finger and translation of the electronic document are performed in the following source code modules for the Exhibit 4G phone, which runs Android 2.3: RenderView.java, GLSurfaceView.java, GridLayer.java, and GridInputProcessor.java. (SAMNDCA-C000007890-7999.) Similar code for devices running Android 2.2 can be found, for example, at SAMNDCA-C000008045 - 8180. Similar source code for devices running Android 2.1 can be found, for example, at SAMNDCA-C000007702-7746. To the extent that Samsung contends that all instances of translating in the “first direction” require that the document be translated in the same direction with absolute precision and that a human finger is incapable of such precise movement, the use of the Exhibit 4G phone would nevertheless meet this limitation under the doctrine of equivalents. Translating a document in a first direction based on the movement of a human finger with minor irregularity is not substantially different from doing so based on an absolutely precise movement. Moreover, translating a document in a first direction based on the movement of a human finger operates to perform substantially -3- Claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Representative Samsung Products the same function (translating the document), in substantially the same way (by detecting the movement of an object), to obtain substantially the same result (translation of a document in a first direction) as translating based on the movement of an object with absolute precision. in response to an edge of the electronic document being reached while translating the electronic document in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display: displaying an area beyond the edge of the document, and displaying a third portion of the electronic document, wherein the third portion is smaller than the first portion; and In response to reaching an edge of a photograph, while a finger continues to move the photograph in the same direction, the Exhibit 4G phone displays a black region beyond the photograph’s edge, and thus displays a third, smaller portion of the photograph. (Ex. V5.) The detection of a user’s finger and translation of the electronic document are performed in the following source code modules: RenderView.java, -4- Claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Representative Samsung Products GLSurfaceView.java, GridLayer.java, and GridInputProcessor.java. (SAMNDCAC000007890-7999; see also SAMNDCA-C000008045 - 8180; SAMNDCAC000007702-7746.) The GridInputProcessor.java file identifies the edge of the photograph and displays an area beyond the edge of the photograph. To the extent that Samsung contends any of the accused devices contain an AMOLED screen and that such screen does not “display[] an area beyond the edge” because the screen does not emit light or otherwise illuminate a black area, such device would nevertheless meet this limitation under the doctrine of equivalents. Displaying black in a specific area of a screen by not illuminating the area is not substantially different from doing so by filtering or blocking light in the area. Moreover, an AMOLED screen displaying black operates to perform substantially the same function (displaying a black area), in substantially the same way (avoiding emission of light), to obtain substantially the same result (showing a black area) as a screen that displays black by filtering or blocking light. -5- Claim 1 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Representative Samsung Products in response to detecting that the object is no longer on or near the touch screen display, translating the electronic document in a second direction until the area beyond the edge of the electronic document is no longer displayed to display a fourth portion of the electronic document, wherein the fourth portion is different from the first portion. In response to detecting that the finger is no longer on the touch screen, the Exhibit 4G phone scrolls the photograph in the opposite direction until it no longer displays the area beyond the photograph’s edge. What is then displayed is a fourth portion of the photograph that is different from the first portion. (Ex. V5.) The detection of a user’s lifting of his finger from the touch screen and translation of the electronic document in a second direction are performed in the following source code modules: GridInputProcessor.java and GridCameraManager.java. (SAMNDCAC000007967-8007; see also SAMNDCA-C000008045-8180; SAMNDCAC000007730-7746; SAMNDCA-C000007781-7786.) -6- Claim 2 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Representative Samsung Products The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the first portion of the electronic document, the second portion of the electronic document, the third portion of the electronic document, and the fourth portion of the electronic document are displayed at the same magnification. The entire sequence illustrated in Claim 1 is depicted below in a side-by-side comparison for the Exhibit 4G phone. As is evident from this comparison, the portions of the photograph are displayed at the same magnification. (Ex.

Representative Samsung Products In Exhibits V1-V9, the speed of translation of the photograph, contacts list, web page, or presentation document prior to reaching an edge of the document corresponds to the speed of movement of the user’s finger. Claim 13 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the area beyond the edge of the document is black, gray, a solid color, or white. Representative Samsung Products In Exhibits V1, V3, V5, V7, V8, and V9, the areas beyond the edges of the photographs are black, and the area beyond the edge of the presentation document is gray. Claim 14 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the area beyond the edge of the document is visually distinct from the document. Representative Samsung Products In Exhibits V1, V3, V5, V7, V8, and V9, the areas beyond the edges of the photographs are black, and the area beyond the edge of the presentation document is gray. These areas are visually distinct, respectively, from the photographs themselves, which are in color, and the presentation document, which is white with additional colors. - 18 - Claim 15 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Representative Samsung Products The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein translating the document in the second direction is a damped motion. In Exhibits V1, V3, V5, and V8, as the electronic document scrolls back in the second direction to fill the screen, it exhibits damped motion and slows as it reaches the end of its movement. Claim 16 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Representative Samsung Products The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein changing from translating in the first direction to translating in the second direction until the area beyond the edge of the document is no longer displayed makes the edge of the electronic document appear to be elastically attached to an edge of the touch screen display or to an edge displayed on the touch screen display. In the sequence illustrated in Claim 1, in response to detecting that the finger is no longer on the touch screen, the Exhibit 4G phone changes from scrolling the photograph in the first direction (to the right) to scrolling the photograph in the opposite direction (to the left). This change makes the photograph appear to “snap” or “bounce” back to the left, as though the photograph were elastically attached to the edge of the touch screen display. (See also Exs. V1 – V6, V8, V9.) - 19 - Claim 17 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Representative Samsung Products The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein translating in the first direction prior to reaching the edge of the electronic document has a first associated translating distance that corresponds to a distance of movement of the object prior to reaching the edge of the electronic document; and wherein displaying an area beyond the edge of the electronic document comprises translating the electronic document in the first direction for a second associated translating distance, wherein the second associated translating distance is less than a distance of movement of the object after reaching the edge of the electronic document. On the Galaxy Tab 10.1, translating in the first direction prior to reaching the edge of the electronic document has a first associated translating distance that corresponds to a distance of movement of the user’s finger prior to reaching the edge of the electronic document. Finger Movement Figure 37 - 20 - Document Movement Claim 17 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Representative Samsung Products When the Galaxy Tab 10.1displays an area beyond the edge of the electronic document, it translates the electronic document in the first direction for a second associated translating distance. The second associated translating distance is less than a distance of movement of the user’s finger after reaching the edge of the electronic document. Finger Movement Figure 38 - 21 - Document Movement Claim 18 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein translating in the first direction prior to reaching the edge of the electronic document has a first associated translating speed that corresponds to a speed of movement of the object, and wherein displaying an area beyond the edge of the electronic document comprises translating the electronic document in the first direction at a second associated translating speed, wherein the second associated translating speed is slower than the first associated translating speed. Representative Samsung Products On the Galaxy Tab 10.1, translating in the first direction prior to reaching the edge of the electronic document has a first associated translating speed that corresponds to a speed of movement of the user’s finger. The speed of translation is essentially the same as the speed with which the user’s finger moves. Figure 39 - 22 - Claim 18 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Representative Samsung Products When the Galaxy Tab 10.1 displays an area beyond the edge of the electronic document, it translates the electronic document in the first direction at a second associated translating speed. The second associated translating speed is slower than the first associated translating speed. The document translates more slowly in the first direction when the area beyond the edge is displayed.

In response, it scrolls the photograph in the same direction to display a second, different portion of the photograph. (Ex. V5.) The detection of a user’s finger and translation of the electronic document are performed in the following source code modules for the Exhibit 4G phone, which runs Android 2.3: RenderView.java, GLSurfaceView.java, GridLayer.java, and GridInputProcessor.java. (SAMNDCA-C000007890-7999.) Similar code for devices running Android 2.2 can be found, for example, at SAMNDCA-C000008045 - 8180. Similar source code for devices running Android 2.1 can be found, for example, at SAMNDCA-C000007702-7746. To the extent that Samsung contends that all instances of translating in the “first direction” require that the document be translated in the same direction with absolute precision and that a human finger is incapable of such precise movement, the use of the - 27 - Claim 19 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Representative Samsung Products Exhibit 4G phone would nevertheless meet this limitation under the doctrine of equivalents. Translating a document in a first direction based on the movement of a human finger with minor irregularity is not substantially different from doing so based on an absolutely precise movement. Moreover, translating a document in a first direction based on the movement of a human finger operates to perform substantially the same function (translating the document), in substantially the same way (by detecting the movement of an object), to obtain substantially the same result (translation of a document in a first direction) as translating based on the movement of an object with absolute precision. - 28 - Claim 19 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 instructions for displaying an area beyond an edge of the electronic document and displaying a third portion of the electronic document, wherein the third portion is smaller than the first portion, in response to the edge of the electronic document being reached while translating the electronic document in the first direction while the object is still detected on or near the touch screen display; and Representative Samsung Products The Exhibit 4G phone includes instructions for displaying a black region beyond the photograph’s edge in response to reaching an edge of a photograph, while a finger continues to move the photograph in the same direction, and thus displays a third, smaller portion of the photograph. (Ex. V5.) The detection of a user’s finger and translation of the electronic document are performed in the following source code modules: RenderView.java, GLSurfaceView.java, GridLayer.java, and GridInputProcessor.java. (SAMNDCAC000007890-7999; see also SAMNDCA-C000008045 - 8180; SAMNDCAC000007702-7746.)

Displaying black in a specific area of a screen by not illuminating the area is not substantially different from doing so by filtering or blocking light in the area. Moreover, an AMOLED screen displaying black operates to perform substantially the same function (displaying a black area), in substantially the same way (avoiding emission of light), to obtain substantially the same result (showing a black area) as a screen that displays black by filtering or blocking light. - 30 - Claim 19 of U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 Representative Samsung Products instructions for translating the electronic document in a second direction until the area beyond the edge of the electronic document is no longer displayed to display a fourth portion of the electronic document, wherein the fourth portion is different from the first portion, in response to detecting that the object is no longer on or near the touch screen display. The Exhibit 4G phone includes instructions for scrolling the photograph in the opposite direction until it no longer displays the area beyond the photograph’s edge, in response to detecting that the finger is no longer on the touch screen. What is then displayed is a fourth portion of the photograph that is different from the first portion. (Ex. V5.) The detection of a user’s lifting of his finger from the touch screen and translation of the electronic document in a second direction are performed in the following source code modules: GridInputProcessor.java and GridCameraManager.java.
