EXHIBIT 2

Exhibit 2: U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381 and LaunchTile
U.S. Pat. No. 7,469,381
Claim 1
A computer-implemented
method, comprising:

LaunchTile
A computing device running LaunchTile discloses a computer that implements a method. For
example, LaunchTile is configured to run on mobile computing devices running versions of the
Windows Mobile operating system, including the Compaq iPaq h1900 series PocketPC.
These devices include processors and memory. For example, the Compaq iPaq h1900 series PocketPC
model 1950 has a Samsung SC32442 processor and main memory of 32 MB SDRAM.

Ex. 13 at p. 3 (HP iPaq 1950 Pocket PC QuickSpecs).
(a) at a device with a touch
screen display:

02198.51855/4245714.9

A computing device running LaunchTile discloses a device with a touch screen display. For example,
LaunchTile can run on Windows Mobile devices with touch screen displays like the Compaq iPaq
h1900 series PocketPC model 1950.

1

The Compaq iPaq h1900 series PocketPC.
(b) displaying a first
portion of an electronic
document;

02198.51855/4245714.9

Representative Example #1:
LaunchTile includes an email program capable of displaying a list of email messages, such as an inbox,
as an electronic document. The computing device will display a portion of the email list as a first
portion:

2

Representative Example #2:
In another example, the electronic document is a Zone in LaunchTile. Each tile is itself an electronic
document, and a Zone comprised of four adjacent tiles is also an electronic document. In this example,
the electronic document is the Zone located in the center of the World view. This Zone is outlined in
green in the picture below:

02198.51855/4245714.9

3

The user can scroll to a neighboring Zone by touching the touch screen device with a finger or a stylus
and moving the finger or stylus. If the user begins in the center Zone and moves to the left, a first
portion of the Zone will be displayed. The first portion is depicted in the picture below, outlined in
green:

Representative Example #3:
Any set of contiguous tiles could be considered an electronic document. Accordingly, two contiguous
Zones comprised of eight tiles would also constitute the electronic document recited in claim 1. Two
contiguous Zones comprised of eight tiles is shown outlined in green below:

02198.51855/4245714.9

4

In this example, when the user enters Zone view (e.g., from the World view or from the Application
Tile view), the user will see a single Zone that constitutes a first portion of an electronic document.
Specifically, this single Zone is one portion of an eight-tile, two-Zone document.

02198.51855/4245714.9

5

(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;

02198.51855/4245714.9

Representative Example #1:
A computing device running LaunchTile discloses detecting a movement of an object on the touch
screen display and, in response, translating the electronic document to display a second portion of the
electronic document that is different from the first.
For example, in the email program, the user can scroll the list up so that a second portion is displayed:

6

Representative Example #2:
As another example, LaunchTile will detect movement of a finger on the touch screen and translate the
electronic document in the direction of the movement of the finger. Starting at the first portion
referenced above, obtained by having previously scrolled the Zone slightly to the left, continuing from
this position, if the user swipes her finger to the right, the electronic document will move to the right.
A second portion of the electronic document is then displayed. This second portion of the document is
different from the first portion of the document. This is depicted in the figure below:

02198.51855/4245714.9

7

Representative Example #3:
In another example, where two contiguous Zones form a single electronic document, a second portion
of that document is displayed when the user scrolls. For example, if the user scrolls left, a second Zone
comprising the second half of the electronic document will be displayed. In the sequence below, the
first image illustrates the starting point just prior to a scrolling operation, and the second and third
images represent partial movement during the scrolling operation.

02198.51855/4245714.9

8

(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: 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

02198.51855/4245714.9

Representative Example #1:
A computing device running LaunchTile discloses displaying an area beyond the edge of the document
and displaying a third portion of the electronic document that is smaller than the first portion in
response to an edge of the electronic document being reached.
For example, in the email program, when the user reaches the bottom of the email list when scrolling
up, the edge of the email list is displayed. Beyond that edge a blank area is also displayed. This blank
area is not part of the electronic document that consists of the email list. This results in the display of a
third portion of the document, which is smaller than the first portion of the document, because of the
blank area.

9

02198.51855/4245714.9

10

Representative Example #2:
As another example, as the user reaches the left edge of a Zone while scrolling to the right in the
example discussed above, an area beyond the left edge of that Zone will be displayed. That area will
consist of a solid-colored “gutter,” or border, followed by the neighboring Zone on the left. As the user

02198.51855/4245714.9

11

continues scrolling to the right, a third portion of the electronic document is displayed that is smaller
than the first portion of the electronic document because more of the electronic document has been
scrolled off the screen. The third portion and the area beyond the edge of the electronic document are
displayed in the picture below:

02198.51855/4245714.9

12

Representative Example #3:
In another example, in the case of two contiguous Zones being the electronic document, if the user
continues scrolling to the left, the right edge of the electronic document will be encountered. As the
user scrolls past the edge, an area beyond that edge will be displayed. That area will consist of a gray

02198.51855/4245714.9

13

“gutter,” or border, followed by the neighboring Zone, similar to that in representative example #2.

(e) in response to detecting

02198.51855/4245714.9

Representative Example #1:

14

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.

02198.51855/4245714.9

A computing device running LaunchTile discloses, 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 that is different from the first portion.
For example, if the user lifts her finger after displaying the third portion of the email list, the email list
will reverse direction and “snap” back to the bottom edge of the email list, subject to the threshold
distance limitation, such that the area beyond this edge will no longer be displayed. The result will
display a fourth portion of the Zone that is different from the first portion.

15

Representative Example #2:
As another example, if the user lifts her finger while in the process of scrolling between Zones, the
interface will automatically select a Zone to snap to. If the user has not scrolled past a particular
threshold in the direction of the next Zone, the application will snap back to the previous Zone. This
snap-back feature will cause the electronic document to be translated in a second direction, which will
be opposite to the first direction, until the area beyond the edge of the electronic document can no
longer be seen. As a result, a fourth portion of the document is displayed. The fourth portion is
different from the first portion.

02198.51855/4245714.9

16

Representative Example #3:
In another example, in the case of two contiguous Zones being the electronic document, if the user lifts
her finger after scrolling some distance beyond the second portion of the electronic document, the
electronic document will snap back, translating in the opposite direction until the area beyond the edge

02198.51855/4245714.9

17

of the electronic document is no longer in view. The result will display a fourth portion of the
electronic document that is different from the first portion.

Claim 2

02198.51855/4245714.9

18

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.

02198.51855/4245714.9

Representative Example #1:
A computing device running LaunchTile discloses the first, second, third, and fourth portions are all at
the same magnification. For example, the four portions previously described are all displayed at the
same magnification:

accept input based on a touch from a finger on the display. See claim 1(a).
Claim 5
The computer-implemented
method of claim 1, wherein
the first direction is a
vertical direction, a
horizontal direction, or a
diagonal direction.

Representative Example #1:
A computing device running LaunchTile discloses the first direction is a vertical or horizontal
direction. For example, LaunchTile permits the first direction to be in either a vertical or horizontal
direction. The figure below depicts movement in a vertical direction:

Representative Example #2:
The figure below depicts movement in a horizontal direction:

23

the electronic document is
a web page.
Claim 7
The computer-implemented A computing device running LaunchTile discloses the electronic document is a digital image.
method of claim 1, wherein
the electronic document is
Representative Example #1:
a digital image.
For example, the LaunchTile prototype email application has an electronic document that is at least one
or more digital images. In the prototype email application, the electronic document is the email list.
However, because the email application in only a prototype, each entry in the email list is actually an
individual digital image or .png file, acting as placeholders in order to emulate an operative email
application. Thus, as the email application is currently written in LaunchTile, the electronic document
(email list) is composed of one or more digital images (.png files representing entries in the list).

Representative Example #2 & #3:
Similarly, a Zone in LaunchTile is comprised of four tiles, and two contiguous Zones are comprised of
eight tiles. Each of these tiles is displayed as an individual image, and in fact many are .png image
files.

02198.51855/4245714.9

24

See also claim 1(b).
To the extent the examples discussed above do not anticipate claim 7, it would have been obvious to
one of ordinary skill in the art to modify LaunchTile so that the electronic document is a single digital
image. The user interface features identified above as anticipating claim 1 of the ‘381 patent operate
independently of the nature of the underlying electronic document. An implementer could employ
these same techniques to manipulate any document displayed on the screen, regardless of whether the
document is a list of items or a digital image. Applying these techniques to a digital image would not
have presented any unique problems, or even significant effort. Additionally, because digital images
are commonly displayed on computing devices, one of skill in the art would be motivated to modify
LaunchTile so that its user interface features would operate in the same manner described above when
the electronic document is a single digital image. Thus, it is my opinion that Claim 7 recites an
obvious modification to the functionality contained in LaunchTile if LaunchTile does not disclose each
and every limitation of Claim 7.

Claim 9
The computer-implemented
method of claim 1, wherein
the electronic document
includes a list of items.

A computing device running LaunchTile discloses the electronic document includes a list of items. For
example, as shown in the image below, the electronic document includes an image of an “Inbox.” This
Inbox is a list of emails. Similarly, other electronic documents also include lists of phone-related
events, including missed calls, outgoing calls, voicemail, and incoming text messages. Other
electronic documents also includes a “Calendar,” which consists of a list of scheduled events.

is a solid color:

Representative Example #2 & #3:
02198.51855/4245714.9

30

As another example, between each of the Zones displayed in LaunchTile is a solid-colored gray
“gutter” area that indicates a separation between the Zones. This gutter area is displayed beyond the
edge of the document. Accordingly, the gutter area beyond the edge of the document is a solid-colored
gray area. This same area surrounds an eight-tile area of two contiguous Zones and forms a solidcolored gray area beyond the edge of that document.
