CLAIM CHART EXHIBIT 2 "VIOLA 5/27/03" INVALIDITY CLAIM CHART FOR U.S. PATENT NO. 5,838,906  BASED ON VIOLA VERSION 5/27/93, DATED MAY 27, 1993 [PA-NAT-78\VIOLA\1993-05-27 DX37 - EX AE TO INV CONTENTIONS/VIOLATOGO.TAR.Z]. THE BODY OF MY REPORT HAS A NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION THAT AUGMENTS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PART OF THIS CHART, AND VISE-VERSA FOR THIS AND ALL MY CHARTS. Claim Text from ’906 Patent 906-1.a: A method for running an application program in a computer network environment, comprising: Viola 5/27/93 Viola 5/27/93 discloses an application program. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW is a web browser computer program that was implemented using the Viola toolkit/language system. (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\www.v.) By way of example, Viola's documentation states that “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the World-Wide Web system” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses a computer network environment. See, e.g., : 906-1.b: providing at least one client workstation and one network server coupled to said network environment, wherein said network environment is a distributed hypermedia environment; ViolaWWW operates in a computer network environment, including local area networks or the World Wide Web. ViolaWWW operates in computer network environment consisting of clients and servers wherein a server — such as a file server or HTTP server — publishes hypermedia documents such as HMML and HTML files to client workstations. As Viola's documentation notes, “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the World-Wide Web System.” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses a client workstation. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW operated on a client workstation. By way of example, ViolaWWW executed on Sun SPARCstations running a SunOS operating system. This client workstation could interoperate with servers, such as file servers or HTTP servers. Viola's documentation notes that “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the World- 1 Claim Text from ’906 Patent Viola 5/27/93 Wide Web...” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses a network server. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW operated with network servers. Viola's documentation notes that “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the World-Wide Web System” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Servers that ViolaWWW operate with include file servers or HTTP servers. These servers transmit hypermedia documents, such as HMML or HTML files, and a client workstation running ViolaWWW receives them. Viola 5/27/93 discloses a distributed hypermedia environment. See, e.g., : 906-1.c: executing, at said client workstation, a browser application, that parses a first distributed hypermedia document to identify text formats included in said distributed hypermedia document and for responding to predetermined text formats to initiate processing specified by said text formats; ViolaWWW operates in a distributed hypermedia environment, including local area networks or the World Wide Web. ViolaWWW operates in computer network environment consisting of clients and servers wherein a server — such as a file server or HTTP server — publishes hypermedia documents such as HMML and HTML files to client workstations. As Viola's documentation notes, “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the World-Wide Web System.” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses a browser application. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW is a web browser computer program that was implemented using the Viola toolkit/language system. (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\www.v.) By way of example, Viola's documentation states that “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the World-Wide Web system” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the browser application parses a hypermedia 2 Claim Text from ’906 Patent Viola 5/27/93 document. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW running on the client workstation can receive hypermedia document files (i.e., HTML and HMML documents) that contain enabling information from a network server (e.g., a file server or HTTP server) over a distributed hypermedia network environment. Examples of such documents include those in violaTOGO\docs. The hypermedia document files received from the network server contain predetermined text formats which enable a browser application to display at least a portion of a distributed hypermedia document within a browsercontrolled window. For example, the hypermedia documents downloaded by ViolaWWW may contain HMML tags or HTML tags. In particular, the testPlot.hmml hypermedia document contains the HMML tags (i.e., text formats) TITLE, H1 and ITALIC. (See, e.g., testPlot.hmml.) As another example, the testAll.html file contains HTML tags, such as TITLE and H1. The hypermedia document downloaded from the remote network server is parsed by ViolaWWW to identify the tags. ViolaWWW then initiates processing specified by the tags. For example, ViolaWWW displays the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. (See, e.g., apps\VWHandler_hmml.v, src\sgmlsA2B.c and src\sgml.c, violaTOGO\libWWW.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses a hypermedia document with text formats. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW running on the client workstation can receive hypermedia document files (i.e., HTML and HMML documents) that contain text formats from a network server (e.g., a file server or HTTP server) over a distributed hypermedia network environment. Examples of such documents include those in violaTOGO\docs. The hypermedia document files received from the network server contain predetermined text formats which enable a browser application to display 3 Claim Text from ’906 Patent 906-1.d: utilizing said browser to display, on said client workstation, at least a portion of a first hypermedia document received over said network from said server, Viola 5/27/93 at least a portion of a distributed hypermedia document within a browsercontrolled window. For example, the hypermedia documents downloaded by ViolaWWW may contain HMML tags or HTML tags. In particular, the testPlot.hmml hypermedia document contains the HMML tags (i.e., text formats) TITLE, H1 and ITALIC. (See, e.g., testPlot.hmml.) As another example, the testAll.html file contains HTML tags, such as TITLE and H1. The hypermedia document downloaded from the remote network server is parsed by ViolaWWW to identify the tags. ViolaWWW then initiates processing specified by the tags. For example, ViolaWWW displays the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. (See, e.g., apps\VWHandler_hmml.v, src\sgmlsA2B.c and src\sgml.c, violaTOGO\libWWW.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that a hypermedia document is received from the server. See, e.g., : A client workstation running the ViolaWWW browser receives hypermedia documents from a server. Examples of servers from which ViolaWWW receives hypermedia documents include file servers or HTTP servers. Examples of documents that ViolaWWW receives can be found in \violaTOGO\docs, and include testPlot.hmml and testAll.html. Code files evidencing ViolaWWW's ability to retrieve documents from servers include apps\VWHandler_hmml.v and src\cl_generic.c. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the browser displays a hypermedia document. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW displays hypermedia documents, including HMML and HTML hypermedia documents. Examples of hypermedia HTML and HMML documents that ViolaWWW displayed — either by retrieving them from a local directory or retrieving them from a server location — are stored in violaTOGO\docs, such as testPlot.hmml and testAll.html. 4 Claim Text from ’906 Patent 906-1.e: wherein the portion of said first hypermedia document is displayed within a first browsercontrolled window on said client workstation, 906-1.f: wherein said first distributed hypermedia document includes an embed text format, located at a first location in said first distributed hypermedia document, that specifies the location of at least a portion of an object external to the first distributed hypermedia document, Viola 5/27/93 ViolaWWW could display other hypermedia documents as well. ViolaWWW displays HTML and HMML documents by parsing them to identify HMML or HTML tags, and then initiates processing specified by the tags and displays the hypermedia document. For example, ViolaWWW will display the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. Other tags are discussed in more detail elsewhere in this chart. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that a hypermedia document is displayed in a browser window. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW displays hypermedia documents, including HMML and HTML hypermedia documents, in the ViolaWWW browser window. Examples of hypermedia HTML and HMML documents that ViolaWWW displayed — either by retrieving them from a local directory or retrieving them from a server location — are stored in violaTOGO\docs, such as testPlot.hmml and testAll.html. ViolaWWW could display other hypermedia documents as well. ViolaWWW displays HTML and HMML documents by parsing them to identify HMML or HTML tags, and then initiates processing specified by the tags. The documents are displayed in the ViolaWWW browser window. Viola 5/27/93 discloses an embed text format at a first location in a hypermedia document. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW running on the client workstation can receive hypermedia documents (e.g., HTML and HMML documents) from a network server (e.g., a file server or HTTP server) over the distributed hypermedia network environment. The hypermedia document received from the network server contains text formats which enable a browser application to display at least a portion of a distributed hypermedia document within a browser-controlled window. These text formats include embed text formats. For example, an HMML file can include an embed text format 5 Claim Text from ’906 Patent Viola 5/27/93 called VOBJF. (See, e.g., violaTOGO\docs\testPlot.hmml; docs\violaChier.hmml.) The VOBJF text format is located at a first location in its hypermedia document. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the embed text format specifies the location of an object. See, e.g., : The VOBJF embed text format specifies the location of an object. For example, testPlot.hmml includes a VOBJF tag that shows the tag's syntax, including that it specifies the location of an object based on a filepath location in which the object can be found: <VOBJF>/usr/work/viola/apps/plot.v<\VOBJF> (See violaTOGO\docs\testPlot.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses an object that is external to a hypermedia document. See, e.g., : 906-1.g: wherein said object has type information associated with it utilized by said browser to identify and locate an executable application external to the first distributed hypermedia document, and In one example, when a Viola applet is embedded in a ViolaWWW web page, using the VOBJF tag, at least a portion of an object external to a hypermedia document, the default grid, appears in the ViolaWWW window upon browser launch (i.e., violaTOGO\docs\testPlot.hmml). The data for the default grid is specified in the file plot.v by the command: output("equation 0"); (See apps\plot.v.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the object has associated type information. See, e.g., : For example, the file plot.v contains type information associated with the object. /path{/usr/work/vplot/vplot} (See violaTOGO\apps\plot.v.) The type information is used by the ViolaWWW to identify and locate the 6 Claim Text from ’906 Patent Viola 5/27/93 vplot executable application. switch (pid = vfork()) { … case 0: \* Child *\ … execv(GET_path(self), args); (See src\cl_TTY.c.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the browser uses type information to identify and locate an executable application. See, e.g., : For example, the file plot.v contains type information associated with the object. /path{/usr/work/vplot/vplot} (See violaTOGO\apps\plot.v.) The type information is used by the ViolaWWW to identify and locate the vplot executable application. ViolaWWW then invokes the executable application. switch (pid = vfork()) { … case 0: \* Child *\ … execv(GET_path(self), args); (See violaTOGO\src\cl_TTY.c.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the executable application is external to the hypermedia document. See, e.g., : For example, the vplot executable application is external to the testPlot.hmml hypermedia document. (See violaTOGO\docs\testPlot.hmml) (see, e.g., PA-NAT-00000078\vplot\) 7 Claim Text from ’906 Patent Viola 5/27/93 Viola 5/27/93 also discloses executable applications in the form of scripts, should the Court consider scripts to be covered by its claim construction. See, e.g., For example, the doodle.v script exists as part of the codebase for Viola 5/27/93 (See violaTOGO\apps\doodle.v) (see e.g., PA-NAT00000078\viola\) 906-1.h: wherein said embed text format is parsed by said browser to automatically invoke said executable application to execute on said client workstation in order to display said object and enable an end-user to directly interact with said object within a display area created at said first location within the portion of said first distributed hypermedia document being displayed in said first browsercontrolled window. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the browser parses the embed text format. See, e.g., : The file containing enabling information is downloaded from the remote network server and parsed by ViolaWWW to identify the text formats. ViolaWWW then initiates processing specified by the text formats. For example, ViolaWWW displays the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. (See, e.g., apps\VWHandler_hmml.v, src\sgmlsA2B.c and src\sgml.c, violaTOGO\libWWW.) For hypermedia documents containing embed text formats, these embed text formats are likewise identified by parsing the file. For example, when parsing testPlot.hmml or violaChier.hmml, violaWWW identifies the VOBJF tag while parsing. (See, e.g., src\sgml.c, apps\HMML_vobjf.v.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses automatic invocation of the executable application. See, e.g., : When ViolaWWW parses the VOBJF tag, it automatically invokes the vplot executable application. The automatic invocation does not require action by the user. For example, when ViolaWWW parses the VOBJF tag in testPlot.hmml, the vplot application is automatically invoked as follows: switch (pid = vfork()) { 8 Claim Text from ’906 Patent Viola 5/27/93 … case 0: \* Child *\ … execv(GET_path(self), args); (See src\cl_TTY.c.) As another example, the doodle application is automatically invoked by the ViolaWWW browser upon parsing of the VOBJF tag as follows: <H2>Noodle Doodles</H2> <VOBJF>../apps/doodle.v</VOBJF> (See violaTOGO\docs\violaApps.hmml) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the executable application displays the object. See, e.g., : For example, the vplot application displays the object as a grid inside the ViolaWWW window that is displaying testPlot.hmml. The object is displayed at the location in the window corresponding to the VOBJF tag. (See violaTOGO\docs\testplot.hmml. As another example, the doodle.v script displays the freehand drawing inside the ViolaWWW window. The drawing is displayed at the location in the window corresponding to the location specified in the script. (See violaTOGO\apps\doodle.v). Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the executable application enables direct interaction with the object. See, e.g., : For example, the vplot executable application enables the user to directly interact with the object using the slider bars to rotate the object around the X, Y and Z axes. (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\plot.v, src\cl_slider.c, 9 Claim Text from ’906 Patent Viola 5/27/93 src\cl_client.c.) As another example, the doodle.v script enables the user to directly interact with the object using an input device to create a freeform drawing in the display area. (See violaTOGO\apps\doodle.v) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that interaction with the object is at a first location in the hypermedia document. See, e.g., : For example, the vplot executable application enables the user to directly interact with the object using the slider bars to rotate the object around the X, Y and Z axes. (See, e.g., apps\plot.v, src\cl_slider.c, src\cl_client.c.) This interaction with the object occurs at the first location within the portion of the HMML document displayed in the ViolaWWW window. (See, e.g., docs\testPlot.hmml, apps\plot.v) Similarly, the doodle.v script enables the freeform drawing interaction described above which occurs at the first location within the portion of the HMML document displayed in the ViolaWWW window. (See violaTOGO\apps\doodle.v) 906-2.a: The method of claim 1, wherein said executable application is a controllable application and further comprising the step of: interactively controlling said controllable application on said client workstation via inter-process communications between said browser and said controllable application. Viola 5/27/93 discloses interactive control via inter-process communications between a browser and an application. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW browser can communicate with an application using interprocess communication. As noted in Viola's documentation, "... viola is message driven. Messages can originate from window system events and user-GUI interaction, generated by timers, interprocess communication, and objects' scripts." (See, e.g., violaTOGO\docs\testHSEP.hmml.) "Viola is message driven, and messages may be generated by a number of sources. A message is typically caused by the user interacting with a 10 Claim Text from ’906 Patent 906-3.a: The method of claim 2, wherein the communications to interactively control said controllable application continue to be exchanged between the controllable application and the browser even after the controllable application program has been launched. Viola 5/27/93 graphical user interface object, but it could also be generated by other objects, or by a timer facility." (See, e.g., violaTOGO\docs\violaBrief.hmml.) "In sum, the Viola language/toolkit system provides an environment where applications are composed of groups of objects, where objects interact, by message passing, with the user and with each other." (See, e.g., docs\violaBrief.hmml.) In one example, the ViolaWWW browser communicates with vplot using inter-process communication. (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\plot.v, violaTOGO\src\cl_TTY.c.) (See also main.c of vplot source code, available at, e.g., PA-NAT00000078\vplot\MS_SUPP_1205_001\petra\vplot.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses ongoing inter-process communications. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW browser can communicate with an application using interprocess communication. As noted in Viola's documentation, "... viola is message driven. Messages can originate from window system events and user-GUI interaction, generated by timers, interprocess communication, and objects' scripts." (See, e.g., violaTOGO\docs\testHSEP.hmml.) "Viola is message driven, and messages may be generated by a number of sources. A message is typically caused by the user interacting with a graphical user interface object, but it could also be generated by other objects, or by a timer facility." (See, e.g., violaTOGO\docs\violaBrief.hmml.) "In sum, the Viola language/toolkit system provides an environment where applications are composed of groups of objects, where objects interact, by message passing, with the user and with each other." (See, e.g., docs\violaBrief.hmml.) In one example, the ViolaWWW browser communicates with vplot using inter-process communication. (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\plot.v, violaTOGO\src\cl_TTY.c.) (See also main.c of vplot source code, 11 Claim Text from ’906 Patent 906-6.a: A computer program product for use in a system having at least one client workstation and one network server coupled to said network environment, wherein said network environment is a distributed hypermedia environment, the computer program product comprising: 906-6.b: a computer usable medium having computer readable program code physically embodied therein, said computer program product further comprising: Viola 5/27/93 available at, e.g., PA-NAT00000078\vplot\MS_SUPP_1205_001\petra\vplot.) In this example, an end-user can continue interacting with an object, such as the default grid, in an ongoing basis using the slider bars to rotate the object around the X, Y and Z axes. (See, e.g., viola\apps\plot.v, src\cl_slider.c, src\cl_client.c.) These interactions are communicated between the browser and the vplot executable eapplication on an ongoing basis so that vplot can process those interactions. Similar communications also occur between the browser and the doodle.v script, with interactions between the user and the object being communicated between the script and the browser. (See violaTOGO\apps\doodle.v) Viola 5/27/93 discloses an application program in a computer network environment. See evidence recited for 906-1.a. Viola 5/27/93 also discloses a client workstation and a network server in a distributed hypermedia environment. See evidence recited for 906-1.b. Viola 5/27/93 discloses computer code physically embodied on a medium. See, e.g., : The computer on which ViolaWWW executes includes computer usable media having computer readable program code physically embodied therein. By way of example, ViolaWWW executed on Sun SPARCstations running a SunOS operating system. ViolaWWW could be executed on the Sun SPARCstation with the command “viola –o www.” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\RUN.WWW.) Viola, including the www.v file that implements the ViolaWWW browser, contains computer readable code that is stored on the SPARCstation's computer usable media. 12 Claim Text from ’906 Patent 906-6.c: computer readable program code for causing said client workstation to execute a browser application to parse a first distributed hypermedia document to identify text formats included in said distributed hypermedia document and to respond to predetermined text formats to initiate processes specified by said text formats; 906-6.d: computer readable program code for causing said client workstation to utilize said browser to display, on said client workstation, at least a portion of a first hypermedia document received over said network from said server, 906-6.e: wherein the portion of said first hypermedia document is displayed within a first browsercontrolled window on said client workstation, 906-6.f: wherein said first distributed hypermedia document includes an embed text format, located at a first location in said first distributed hypermedia document, that specifies the location of at least a portion of an object external to the first distributed hypermedia document, 906-6.g: wherein said object has type information associated with it utilized by said browser to identify and locate an executable application external to the first distributed hypermedia document, and 906-6.h: Viola 5/27/93 Viola 5/27/93 discloses a browser application that parses a hypermedia document with text formats and responds to predetermined text formats to initiate processing specified by the text formats. See evidence recited for 9061.c. Viola 5/27/93 discloses a hypermedia document received from a server and a browser that displays the hypermedia document. See evidence recited for 9061.d. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the hypermedia document is displayed in a browser window. See evidence recited for 906-1.e. Viola 5/27/93 discloses an embed text format at a first location in a hypermedia document; that the embed text format specifies the location of an object; and that the object is external to the hypermedia document. See evidence recited for 9061.f. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the object has associated type information, that the browser uses the type information to identify and locate an executable application, and that the executable application is external to the hypermedia document. See evidence recited for 906-1.g. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the browser parses the embed text format; that the 13 Claim Text from ’906 Patent wherein said embed text format is parsed by said browser to automatically invoke said executable application to execute on said client workstation in order to display said object and enable an end-user to directly interact with said object within a display area created at said first location within the portion of said first distributed hypermedia document being displayed in said first browsercontrolled window. Viola 5/27/93 browser automatically invokes the executable application; that the executable application displays the object and enables an end-user to directly interact with it; and that interaction with the object is at a first location in the hypermedia document. See evidence recited for 906-1.h. 906-7.a: Viola 5/27/93 discloses interactive control via inter-process communications The computer program product of claim 6, wherein between a browser and an application. See evidence recited for 906-2.a. said executable application is a controllable application and further comprising: computer readable program code for causing said client workstation to interactively control said controllable application on said client workstation via inter-process communications between said browser and said controllable application. 906-8.a: Viola 5/27/93 discloses ongoing inter-process communications. See evidence The computer program product of claim 7, wherein recited for 906-3.a. the communications to interactively control said controllable application continue to be exchanged between the controllable application and the browser even after the controllable application program has been launched. 906-11.a: The method of claim 3, wherein additional instructions for controlling said controllable application reside on said network server, wherein Viola 5/27/93 discloses additional instructions on the server See, e.g., : Viola's documentation states that "Through a communication facility such as the socket, a message may also be generated from another process on 14 Claim Text from ’906 Patent said step of interactively controlling said controllable application includes the following substeps: 906-11.b: issuing, from the client workstation, one or more commands to the network server; Viola 5/27/93 the network." (See, e.g., violaTOGO\docs\violaBrief.hmml.) By way of example, and as discussed elsewhere in this chart, ViolaWWW provides for automatically invoking the vplot executable application using the execv system call. (See violaTOGO\src\cl_TTY.c.) Vplot can be implemented as a distributed application wherein a portion of the computations — for example, graphics transformations — can be executed on a remote server by using the rexec socket-based system call or other Unix socket-based system calls in leiu of the execv system call. In this case, additional instructions would reside on the server. Furthermore, as discussed in my report and in Viola video 14.avi, and Viola video 15.avi, vplot can be interchanged with other applications, including distributed applications such as VIS. ViolaWWW works with a distributed application in the same way that it works with an executable application on the client workstation. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the client issues commands to the server. See, e.g., : Viola's documentation states that "Through a communication facility such as the socket, a message may also be generated from another process on the network."

In this case, the server would respond with information to the client. These facilities provide for the server responding to the command issued by the client with information to the client. Furthermore, as discussed in my report and in Viola video 14.avi, and Viola video 15.avi, vplot can be interchanged with any application, including distributed applications such as VIS. ViolaWWW works with a distributed application in the same way that it works with an executable application on the client workstation.. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the client uses information from the server to interactively control the application. See, e.g., : Viola's documentation states that "Through a communication facility such as the socket, a message may also be generated from another process on the network." (See, e.g., violaTOGO\docs\violaBrief.hmml.) By way of example, and as discussed elsewhere in this chart, ViolaWWW provides for automatically invoking the vplot executable application using the execv system call. (See violaTOGO\src\cl_TTY.c.) Vplot can be implemented as a distributed application wherein a portion of the computations — for example, graphics transformations — can be executed on a remote server by using the rexec socket-based system call or other Unix socket-based system calls in leiu of the execv system call. In this case, the client would use information from the server to control the application. These facilities provide for the server responding to the command issued by the client with information to the client. The client can then use that information to control the executable application. 17 Claim Text from ’906 Patent Viola 5/27/93 Furthermore, as discussed in my report and in Viola video 14.avi, and Viola video 15.avi, vplot can be interchanged with any application, including distributed applications such as VIS.

Viola 5/27/93 19 INVALIDITY CLAIM CHART FOR U.S. PATENT NO. 7,599,985  BASED ON VIOLA 5/27/93, DATED MAY 27, 1993 [PA-NAT-78\VIOLA\1993-05-27 5/27/93 - EX AE TO INV CONTENTIONS/VIOLATOGO.TAR.Z], (“VIOLA 5/27/93”). THE BODY OF MY REPORT HAS A NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION THAT AUGMENTS AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PART OF THIS CHART, AND VISE-VERSA FOR THIS AND ALL MY CHARTS. Claim Text from ’985 Patent 985-1.a: A method for running an application program in a distributed hypermedia network environment, wherein the network environment comprises at least one client workstation and one network server coupled to the network environment, the method comprising: Viola 5/27/93 Viola 5/27/93 discloses an application program. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW is a web browser computer program that was implemented using the Viola toolkit/language system. (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\www.v.) By way of example, Viola's documentation states that “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the World-Wide Web system” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses a distributed hypermedia environment. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW operates in a distributed hypermedia environment, including local area networks or the World Wide Web. ViolaWWW operates in computer network environment consisting of clients and servers wherein a server — such as a file server or HTTP server — publishes hypermedia documents such as HMML and HTML files to client workstations. As Viola's documentation notes, “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the World-Wide Web System.” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses a client workstation. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW operated on a client workstation. By way of example, ViolaWWW executed on Sun SPARCstations running a SunOS operating 20 Claim Text from ’985 Patent Viola 5/27/93 system. This client workstation could interoperate with servers, such as file servers or HTTP servers. Viola's documentation notes that “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the WorldWide Web...” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses a network server. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW operated with network servers. Viola's documentation notes that “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the World-Wide Web System” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Servers that ViolaWWW operate with include file servers or HTTP servers. These servers transmit hypermedia documents, such as HMML or HTML files, and a client workstation running ViolaWWW receives them. Viola 5/27/93 discloses a distributed hypermedia environment. See, e.g., : 985-1.b: receiving, at the client workstation from the network server over the network environment, at least one file containing information to enable a browser application to display at least a portion of a distributed hypermedia document within a browser-controlled window; ViolaWWW operates in a distributed hypermedia environment, including local area networks or the World Wide Web. ViolaWWW operates in computer network environment consisting of clients and servers wherein a server — such as a file server or HTTP server — publishes hypermedia documents such as HMML and HTML files to client workstations. As Viola's documentation notes, “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the World-Wide Web System.” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses a browser application. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW is a web browser computer program that was implemented using the Viola toolkit/language system. (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\www.v.) By way of example, Viola's documentation states that “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the World-Wide Web 21 Claim Text from ’985 Patent Viola 5/27/93 system” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses a file containing enabling information. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW running on the client workstation can receive hypermedia document files (i.e., HTML and HMML documents) that contain enabling information from a network server (e.g., a file server or HTTP server) over a distributed hypermedia network environment. Examples of such documents include those in violaTOGO\docs. The hypermedia document files received from the network server contain predetermined text formats which enable a browser application to display at least a portion of a distributed hypermedia document within a browsercontrolled window. For example, the hypermedia documents downloaded by ViolaWWW may contain HMML tags or HTML tags. In particular, the testPlot.hmml hypermedia document contains the HMML tags (i.e., text formats) TITLE, H1 and ITALIC. (See, e.g., testPlot.hmml.) As another example, the testAll.html file contains HTML tags, such as TITLE and H1. The hypermedia document downloaded from the remote network server is parsed by ViolaWWW to identify the tags. ViolaWWW then initiates processing specified by the tags. For example, ViolaWWW displays the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. (See, e.g., apps\VWHandler_hmml.v, src\sgmlsA2B.c and src\sgml.c, violaTOGO\libWWW.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the file is received at the client workstation from the network server. See, e.g., : A client workstation running the ViolaWWW browser receives hypermedia documents from a server. Examples of servers from which ViolaWWW receives hypermedia documents include file servers or HTTP servers. Examples of files that ViolaWWW receives can be found in 22 Claim Text from ’985 Patent Viola 5/27/93 \violaTOGO\docs, including testPlot.hmml and testAll.html, and \violaTOGO\apps, such as plot.v. Code files evidencing ViolaWWW's ability to retrieve documents from servers include apps\VWHandler_hmml.v and src\cl_generic.c. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the browser displays at least a portion of a distributed hypermedia document. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW displays hypermedia documents, including HMML and HTML hypermedia documents. Examples of hypermedia HTML and HMML documents that ViolaWWW displayed — either by retrieving them from a local directory or retrieving them from a server location — are stored in violaTOGO\docs, such as testPlot.hmml and testAll.html. ViolaWWW could display other hypermedia documents as well. ViolaWWW displays HTML and HMML documents by parsing them to identify HMML or HTML tags, and then initiates processing specified by the tags and displays the hypermedia document. For example, ViolaWWW will display the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. Other tags are discussed in more detail elsewhere in this chart. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that at least a portion of a hypermedia document is displayed in a browser-controlled window. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW displays hypermedia documents, including HMML and HTML hypermedia documents, in the ViolaWWW browser window. Examples of hypermedia HTML and HMML documents that ViolaWWW displayed — either by retrieving them from a local directory or retrieving them from a server location — are stored in violaTOGO\docs, such as testPlot.hmml and testAll.html. ViolaWWW could display other hypermedia documents as well. ViolaWWW displays HTML and HMML documents by parsing them to 23 Claim Text from ’985 Patent 985-1.c: executing the browser application on the client workstation, with the browser application: 985-1.d: responding to text formats to initiate processing specified by the text formats; Viola 5/27/93 identify HMML or HTML tags, and then initiates processing specified by the tags. The documents are displayed in the ViolaWWW browser window. Viola 5/27/93 discloses a browser application executing on the client workstation. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW is a web browser computer program that was implemented using the Viola toolkit/language system. (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\www.v.) By way of example, Viola's documentation states that “ViolaWWW implements an X-Windows browser client to the World-Wide Web system” (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\violaWWWAbout.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses responding to text formats to initiate processing specified by the text formats, i.e., parsing text formats. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW running on the client workstation can receive hypermedia document files (i.e., HTML and HMML documents) that contain text formats from a network server (e.g., a file server or HTTP server) over a distributed hypermedia network environment. Examples of such documents include those in violaTOGO\docs. The hypermedia document files received from the network server contain predetermined text formats which enable a browser application to display at least a portion of a distributed hypermedia document within a browsercontrolled window. For example, the hypermedia documents downloaded by ViolaWWW may contain HMML tags or HTML tags. In particular, the testPlot.hmml hypermedia document contains the HMML tags (i.e., text formats) TITLE, H1 and ITALIC. (See, e.g., testPlot.hmml.) As another example, the testAll.html file contains HTML tags, such as TITLE and H1. The hypermedia document downloaded from the remote network server is parsed by ViolaWWW to identify the text formats. ViolaWWW then initiates processing specified by the text formats. For example, 24 Claim Text from ’985 Patent 985-1.e: displaying at least a portion of the document within the browser-controlled window; Viola 5/27/93 ViolaWWW displays the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. (See, e.g., apps\VWHandler_hmml.v, src\sgmlsA2B.c and src\sgml.c, violaTOGO\libWWW.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the browser displays a hypermedia document. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW displays hypermedia documents, including HMML and HTML hypermedia documents. Examples of hypermedia HTML and HMML documents that ViolaWWW displayed — either by retrieving them from a local directory or retrieving them from a server location — are stored in violaTOGO\docs, such as testPlot.hmml and testAll.html. ViolaWWW could display other hypermedia documents as well. ViolaWWW displays HTML and HMML documents by parsing them to identify HMML or HTML tags, and then initiates processing specified by the tags and displays the hypermedia document. For example, ViolaWWW will display the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. Other tags are discussed in more detail elsewhere in this chart. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that a hypermedia document is displayed in a browser window. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW displays hypermedia documents, including HMML and HTML hypermedia documents, in the ViolaWWW browser window. Examples of hypermedia HTML and HMML documents that ViolaWWW displayed — either by retrieving them from a local directory or retrieving them from a server location — are stored in violaTOGO\docs, such as testPlot.hmml and testAll.html. ViolaWWW could display other hypermedia documents as well. ViolaWWW displays HTML and HMML documents by parsing them to 25 Claim Text from ’985 Patent 985-1.f: identifying an embed text format which corresponds to a first location in the document, where the embed text format specifies the location of at least a portion of an object external to the file, where the object has type information associated with it; Viola 5/27/93 identify HMML or HTML tags, and then initiates processing specified by the tags. The documents are displayed in the ViolaWWW browser window. Viola 5/27/93 discloses identifying an embed text format. See, e.g., : The file containing enabling information is downloaded from the remote network server and parsed by ViolaWWW to identify the text formats. ViolaWWW then initiates processing specified by the text formats. For example, ViolaWWW displays the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. (See, e.g., apps\VWHandler_hmml.v, src\sgmlsA2B.c and src\sgml.c, violaTOGO\libWWW.) For hypermedia documents containing embed text formats, these embed text formats are likewise identified by parsing the file. For example, when parsing testPlot.hmml or violaChier.hmml, violaWWW identifies the VOBJF tag while parsing. (See, e.g., src\sgml.c, apps\HMML_vobjf.v.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the embed text format corresponds to a first location in the hypermedia document. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW running on the client workstation can receive hypermedia documents (e.g., HTML and HMML documents) from a network server (e.g., a file server or HTTP server) over the distributed hypermedia network environment. The hypermedia document received from the network server contains text formats which enable a browser application to display at least a portion of a distributed hypermedia document within a browser-controlled window. These text formats include embed text formats. For example, an HMML file can include an embed text format called VOBJF. (See, e.g., violaTOGO\docs\testPlot.hmml; docs\violaChier.hmml.) The VOBJF text format corresponds to a first location in the hypermedia document. 26 Claim Text from ’985 Patent Viola 5/27/93 Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the embed text format specifies the location of an object. See, e.g., : The VOBJF embed text format specifies the location of an object. For example, testPlot.hmml includes a VOBJF tag that shows the tag's syntax, including that it specifies the location of an object based on a filepath location in which the object can be found: <VOBJF>/usr/work/viola/apps/plot.v<\VOBJF> (See violaTOGO\docs\testPlot.hmml.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the object is external to the file containing enabling information. See, e.g., : In one example, when a Viola applet is embedded in a ViolaWWW web page, using the VOBJF tag, at least a portion of an object external to a file containing enabling information, the default grid, appears in the ViolaWWW window upon browser launch (i.e., violaTOGO\docs\testPlot.hmml). The data for the default grid is specified in the file plot.v by the command: output("equation 0"); (See apps\plot.v.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the object has associated type information. See, e.g., : For example, the file plot.v contains type information associated with the object. /path{/usr/work/vplot/vplot} (See violaTOGO\apps\plot.v.) The type information is used by the ViolaWWW to identify and locate the vplot executable application. switch (pid = vfork()) { 27 Claim Text from ’985 Patent Viola 5/27/93 … case 0: \* Child *\ … execv(GET_path(self), args); (See src\cl_TTY.c.) As another example, the file doodle.v also contains type information associated with the object. \script { switch (arg[0]) { … } usual(); } (See violaTOGO\apps\doodle.v) 985-1.g: Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the browser uses type information to identify and utilizing the type information to identify and locate locate an executable application. See, e.g., : an executable application external to the file; and For example, the file plot.v contains type information associated with the object. /path{/usr/work/vplot/vplot} (See violaTOGO\apps\plot.v.) The type information is used by the ViolaWWW to identify and locate the vplot executable application. ViolaWWW then invokes the executable application. switch (pid = vfork()) { … case 0: \* Child *\ … 28 Claim Text from ’985 Patent Viola 5/27/93 execv(GET_path(self), args); (See violaTOGO\src\cl_TTY.c.) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the executable application is external to the file containing enabling information. See, e.g., : For example, the vplot executable application is external to the testPlot.hmml file containing enabling information. (See violaTOGO\docs\testPlot.hmml), (see, e.g., PA-NAT-00000078\vplot\). Viola 5/27/93 also discloses executable applications in the form of scripts, should the Court consider scripts to be covered by its claim construction. See, e.g., For example, the doodle.v script exists as part of the codebase for Viola 5/27/93 (See violaTOGO\apps\doodle.v) (see e.g., PA-NAT-00000078\viola\) 985-1.h: automatically invoking the executable application, in response to the identifying of the embed text format, to execute on the client workstation in order to display the object and enable an end-user to directly interact with the object while the object is being displayed within a display area created at the first location within the portion of the hypermedia document being displayed in the browser-controlled window. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the browser parses the embed text format. See, e.g., : The file containing enabling information is downloaded from the remote network server and parsed by ViolaWWW to identify the text formats. ViolaWWW then initiates processing specified by the text formats. For example, ViolaWWW displays the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. (See, e.g., apps\VWHandler_hmml.v, src\sgmlsA2B.c and src\sgml.c, violaTOGO\libWWW.) For hypermedia documents containing embed text formats, these embed text formats are likewise identified by parsing the file. For example, when parsing testPlot.hmml or violaChier.hmml, violaWWW identifies the VOBJF tag while parsing. (See, e.g., src\sgml.c, apps\HMML_vobjf.v.) 29 Claim Text from ’985 Patent Viola 5/27/93 Viola 5/27/93 discloses automatic invocation of the executable application. See, e.g., : When ViolaWWW parses the VOBJF tag, it automatically invokes the vplot executable application. The automatic invocation does not require action by the user. For example, when ViolaWWW parses the VOBJF tag in testPlot.hmml, the vplot application is automatically invoked as follows: switch (pid = vfork()) { … case 0: \* Child *\ … execv(GET_path(self), args); (See src\cl_TTY.c.) As another example, the doodle application is automatically invoked by the ViolaWWW browser upon parsing of the VOBJF tag as follows: <H2>Noodle Doodles</H2> <VOBJF>../apps/doodle.v</VOBJF> (See violaTOGO\docs\violaApps.hmml) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the executable application displays the object. See, e.g., : For example, the vplot application displays the object as a grid inside the ViolaWWW window that is displaying testPlot.hmml. The object is displayed at the location in the window corresponding to the VOBJF tag. (See violaTOGO\docs\testplot.hmml. As another example, the doodle.v script displays the freehand drawing 30 Claim Text from ’985 Patent Viola 5/27/93 inside the ViolaWWW window. The drawing is displayed at the location in the window corresponding to the VOBJF tag. (See violaTOGO\apps\doodle.v). Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the executable application enables direct interaction with the object. See, e.g., : For example, the vplot executable application enables the user to directly interact with the object using the slider bars to rotate the object around the X, Y and Z axes. (See, e.g., violaTOGO\apps\plot.v, src\cl_slider.c, src\cl_client.c.) As another example, the doodle.v script enables the user to directly interact with the object using an input device to create a freeform drawing in the display area. (See violaTOGO\apps\doodle.v) Viola 5/27/93 discloses that interaction with the object is at a first location in the hypermedia document. See, e.g., : For example, the vplot executable application enables the user to directly interact with the object using the slider bars to rotate the object around the X, Y and Z axes. (See, e.g., apps\plot.v, src\cl_slider.c, src\cl_client.c.) This interaction with the object occurs at the first location within the portion of the HMML document displayed in the ViolaWWW window. (See, e.g., docs\testPlot.hmml, apps\plot.v) Similarly, the doodle.v script enables the freeform drawing interaction described above which occurs at the first location within the portion of the HMML document displayed in the ViolaWWW window. (See violaTOGO\apps\doodle.v) 31 Claim Text from ’985 Patent 985-2.a: The method of claim 1 where: the information to enable comprises text formats. Viola 5/27/93 Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the enabling information in the file is text formats. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW running on the client workstation can receive hypermedia document files (i.e., HTML and HMML documents) that contain enabling information from a network server (e.g., a file server or HTTP server) over a distributed hypermedia network environment. Examples of such documents include those in violaTOGO\docs. The hypermedia document files received from the network server contain enabling information in the form of text formats which enable a browser application to display at least a portion of a distributed hypermedia document within a browser-controlled window. For example, the hypermedia documents downloaded by ViolaWWW may contain HMML tags or HTML tags. For example, the testPlot.hmml hypermedia document contains the HMML tags (i.e., text formats) TITLE, H1 and ITALIC. (See, e.g., testPlot.hmml.) As another example, the testAll.html file contains HTML tags, such as TITLE and H1. The hypermedia document downloaded from the remote network server is parsed by ViolaWWW to identify the text formats. ViolaWWW then initiates processing specified by the tags. For example, ViolaWWW displays the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. (See, e.g., apps\VWHandler_hmml.v, src\sgmlsA2B.c and src\sgml.c, violaTOGO\libWWW.) 985-3.a: The method of claim 2 where the text formats are HTML tags. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the text formats are HTML tags. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW running on the client workstation can receive hypermedia document files that contain text formats in the form of HTML tags from a network server (e.g., a file server or HTTP server) over a distributed hypermedia network environment. Examples of such documents include those in violaTOGO\docs. 32 Claim Text from ’985 Patent Viola 5/27/93 For example, the testAll.html file contains HTML tags, such as TITLE and H1 985-4.a: The method of claim 1 where the information contained in the file received comprises at least one embed text format. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the enabling information in the file includes an embed text format. See, e.g., : 985-5.a: The method of claim 1 where the step of identifying an embed text format comprises: parsing the received file to identify text formats included in the received file. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the embed text format is identified by parsing the file containing enabling information. See, e.g., : ViolaWWW running on the client workstation can receive hypermedia documents (e.g., HTML and HMML documents) from a network server (e.g., a file server or HTTP server) over the distributed hypermedia network environment. The hypermedia document received from the network server contains text formats which enable a browser application to display at least a portion of a distributed hypermedia document within a browser-controlled window. These text formats include embed text formats. For example, an HMML file can include an embed text format called VOBJF. (See, e.g., violaTOGO\docs\testPlot.hmml; docs\violaChier.hmml.) The file containing enabling information is downloaded from the remote network server and parsed by ViolaWWW to identify the text formats. ViolaWWW then initiates processing specified by the text formats. For example, ViolaWWW displays the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. (See, e.g., apps\VWHandler_hmml.v, src\sgmlsA2B.c and src\sgml.c, violaTOGO\libWWW.) For hypermedia documents containing embed text formats, these embed text formats are likewise identified by parsing the file. For example, when parsing testPlot.hmml or violaChier.hmml, violaWWW identifies the VOBJF tag while parsing. (See, e.g., src\sgml.c, apps\HMML_vobjf.v.) 33 Claim Text from ’985 Patent Viola 5/27/93 985-6.a: The method of claim 5 where the parsing is by a parser in the browser. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the parser is in the browser See, e.g., : 985-7.a: The method of claim 1 where the processing specified by the text formats is specified directly. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the text formats directly specify the processing. See, e.g., : Viola includes files for parsing. (See, e.g., apps\VWHandler_hmml.v, src\sgmlsA2B.c and src\sgml.c, violaTOGO\libwww.) Furthermore, as discussed within my report, HTML and\or HMML parsers were readily available and inherent to the operation of world wide web browser applications. ViolaWWW running on the client workstation can receive hypermedia document files (i.e., HTML and HMML documents) that contain text formats from a network server (e.g., a file server or HTTP server) over a distributed hypermedia network environment. Examples of such documents include those in violaTOGO\docs. The hypermedia document files received from the network server contain predetermined text formats that directly specify processing. For example, the hypermedia documents downloaded by ViolaWWW contain HMML tags or HTML tags. In particular, the testPlot.hmml hypermedia document contains the HMML tags such as TITLE, H1 and ITALIC. (See, e.g., testPlot.hmml.) As another example, the testAll.html file contains HTML tags, such as TITLE and H1. The hypermedia document downloaded from the remote network server is parsed by ViolaWWW to identify the tags. ViolaWWW then initiates processing directly specified by the tags. For example, ViolaWWW displays the text marked by the H1 tag in large, bold, header text and the text marked by the ITALIC tag in italics. (See, e.g., apps\VWHandler_hmml.v, src\sgmlsA2B.c and src\sgml.c, violaTOGO\libWWW.) 34 Claim Text from ’985 Patent 985-8.a: The method of claim 1 where the correspondence is implied by the order of the text format in a set of all of the text formats. Viola 5/27/93 Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the correspondence is implied by the order of text formats. See, e.g., : In ViolaWWW, the correspondence between the location in the document and the text formats is implied by the order of the text formats. For example, testPlot.hmml has several HMML tags (text formats). In testPlot.hmml, TITLE tag appears before H1 tag. H1 tag is followed by P tag. VOBJF tag appears later. When ViolaWWW displays the document, the title (associated with TITLE tag) is displayed first. The title is followed by heading (associated with H1 tag). A paragraph (associated with P tag) is displayed after the heading. An object is embedded later in the document where VOBJF tag is specified. (See, e.g., docs\testPlot.hmml.) Similarly, for testAll.html, a title (associated with a TITLE tag) is displayed ahead of Header 1 (associated with a subsequent header tag), which is displayed ahead of Header 2 (associated with a still subsequent header tag). (See docs\testAll.html.) 985-9.a: The method of claim 1 where the embed text format specifies the location of at least a portion of an object directly. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the embed text format specifies the location of the object directly. See, e.g., : 985-10.a: The method of claim 1 where having type information associated is by including type information in the embed text format. Viola 5/27/93 discloses that the type information is in the embed text format. See, e.g., : The VOBJF embed text format specifies the location of an object directly.
