EMG認為iphone侵害US7441196

iPhone可能非常容易侵害很多權利
甚至本來連"iphone"的商標使用權都是別人的
現在還被EMG告操作介面侵權

畢竟Apple進入手機市場算比較晚
雖有不少專利布局,但是或許沒有太多基礎專利
現在,又樹大招風,有些靠專利生存的小公司就找上門了

US7441196的專利名稱就直指iPhone操控環境的感覺,
Apparatus and method of manipulating a region on a wireless device screen for viewing, zooming and scrolling internet content
在無線裝置螢幕上控制一個區域,以瀏覽、縮放與上下滾動網路內容
Claim 1:
1. A method of navigating the Internet, comprising:
displaying on-line content accessed via the Internet, the on-line content reformatted from a webpage in a hypertext markup language (HTML) format into an extensible markup language (XML) format to generate a sister site, the sister site including a portion or a whole of content of the web page reformatted to be displayed and navigable through a simplified navigation interface on any one of a television, web appliance, console device, handheld device, wireless device or cellular phone, the simplified navigation interface displayed in a form of a two-dimensional layer of cells from a plurality of layers and a plurality of cells, the two-dimensional layer in a form of a navigation matrix, each cell is a division of a screen and exclusive to a separate single navigation option associated with a specific unique input, the on-line content formatted to be displayed in one or more of the plurality of cells and formatted to be selected for navigation by one or more of the unique inputs, navigation options to change between layers of the simplified navigation interface from general to more specific in each deeper layer;
receiving a user selection of one of the navigation options;
forwarding the selected navigation option across the internet to a server providing the simplified navigation interface;
receiving a next deeper navigation layer of the simplified navigation interface corresponding to the selected navigation option; and
manipulating a region of the screen for viewing and zooming and/or scrolling of the displayed on-line content.

這段範圍,看來頗大,卻又很「明確」地表達應用在電視、手持裝置等沒有鍵盤或是方便輸入的裝置上,以其中elements來看(不考慮estoppel),包括顯示網頁內容、接收使用者選項、傳遞選項、接收下一層內容、控制瀏覽,這些確實像是一些觸控裝置瀏覽網頁的行為...重點應該是在一個手持式「小螢幕」的裝置中如何看網頁內容,其中提供一個簡化的介面,可以輕易在多層網頁的內容中來回切換瀏覽

以下是操作介面的圖示:


另一獨立項如:
58. A machine readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed cause a machine to perform a set of operations comprising:
displaying on-line content accessed via the Internet, the on-line content reformatted from a webpage in a hypertext markup language (HTML) format into an extensible markup language (XML) format to generate a sister site, the sister site including a portion or a whole of content of the web page reformatted to be displayed and navigable through a simplified navigation interface on any one of a television, web appliance, console device, handheld device, wireless device or cellular phone, the simplified navigation interface displayed in a form of a two-dimensional layer of cells from a plurality of layers and a plurality of cells, the two-dimensional layer in a form of a navigation matrix, each cell is a division of a screen and exclusive to a separate single navigation option associated with a specific unique input, the on-line content formatted to be displayed in one or more of the plurality of cells and formatted to be selected for navigation by one or more of the unique inputs, navigation options to change between layers of the simplified navigation interface from general to more specific in each deeper layer;
receiving a user selection of one of the navigation options;
forwarding the selected navigation option across the internet to a server providing the simplified navigation interface;
receiving a next deeper navigation layer of the simplified navigation interface corresponding to the selected navigation option; and
manipulating a region of the screen for viewing and zooming and/or scrolling of the displayed on-line content.

這段只是再補充儲存以上各動作指令的媒體,這點可以學起來,對侵權可能判斷有幫助
