`
`DECLARATION OF DARRELL DIEM IN SUPPORT OF PATENT OWNER’S
`PRELIMINARY RESPONSE PURSUANT TO 35 U.S.C. § 313 AND 37 C.F.R. § 42.107
`
`I, Darrell Diem, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am the sole named inventor of U.S. Patent No. 9,071,931 (“the ’931 Patent”),
`
`the challenged patent at issue in this proceeding. I make this Declaration upon personal
`
`knowledge and, if called upon as a witness, I could and would testify as to the matters recited
`
`herein.
`
`2.
`
`I am currently a middle school computer science teacher at St. John the Baptist
`
`Catholic School in Madison, Alabama. I have previously been employed as a software engineer
`
`at Motorola Inc., Harris Corporation, Time Domain Corporation, and others.
`
`3.
`
`The initial genesis for the invention claimed in the ’931 Patent came in 1997,
`
`when my daughter was driving to Florida State University from our home in Alabama. While
`
`driving along Interstate-10, at night, her car’s engine failed. She called me, upset and frightened,
`
`06371-00001/8385545.1
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`saying that she didn’t know where she was. I likewise was upset that I didn’t have a good way
`
`of helping her, because I didn’t know where she was.
`
`4.
`
`From my experience as a software engineer in the telecommunications space, I
`
`was aware that cell towers knew the approximate location of cell phones that were
`
`communicating with them. Thus, I started thinking about how to create a location-tracking
`
`system that would allow individuals to be apprised of the location of their family and friends,
`
`while protecting the security of this location information so that it could not be misused. I
`
`further wanted for users to be able to access and utilize this proposed system through their cell
`
`phones.
`
`5.
`
`At that time, in 1997, cell phone technologies were not advanced enough to make
`
`my hypothetical system a reality. In the 2002-2003 timeframe, however, cell phones became
`
`increasingly “computer-like,” with large graphic-enabled screens and Internet connections. I
`
`recognized that this sort of user interface could help make my proposed system a reality, by
`
`allowing users to communicate with Internet servers from their mobile phones and upload
`
`location information or geographic zone information to these servers, where this information
`
`could be distributed and protected as desired. Thus, I redoubled my efforts to create a
`
`comprehensive location-tracking system that would execute these functions.
`
`6.
`
`By late 2004, I had written much of the computer code for my proposed system.
`
`Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a computer code file from December 10, 2004, showing how
`
`data regarding mobile phones (line 24), groups (line 30), access codes (line 28) and geofence
`
`zones (lines 34-40) could be uploaded to a server (lines 10-12) in my system. The dialog
`
`window on the second page of this document shows that this source code file was created on
`
`December 10, 2004. (See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/299648 for an explanation of
`
`06371-00001/8385545.1
`
`2
`
`

`
`“Created” and “Modified” dates for documents in Microsoft file system formats, and how the
`
`“Modified” date reflects the actual creation date of the document).
`
`7.
`
`I continued to create my proposed system throughout late 2004 and into early
`
`2005. Attached hereto as Exhibits B-D are three versions of a beta user manual that I created for
`
`my system. As shown on the first page of these documents, they bear a “2004-2005” copyright
`
`date, and I did indeed create them from late 2004 into early 2005.
`
`8.
`
`By May 13, 2005, I had conceived all elements of my system. Attached hereto as
`
`Exhibit E is a screenshot showing my registration of the website name “perdiemco.com” on
`
`May 13, 2005. I did not register for this website name until I had conceived all elements of my
`
`location-tracking system and was prepared to begin commercializing it. Thus, this screenshot
`
`refreshes my recollection that I had fully conceived all elements of my location-tracking system
`
`by no later than May 13, 2005.
`
`9.
`
`My location-tracking system is the same system described and claimed in the ’93l
`
`Patent. While the ’93l Patent is a continuation patent, its specification is substantively identical
`
`to the specification for the first patent application that I filed on my location-tracking system, on
`
`December 23, 2005.
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the
`
`foregoing is true and correct. Executed on October Q,
`
`, 2016, in Madison, Alabama.

`
`TRACKING:
`
`To minimize data usage & cost selecti longer intervals for Polling (sending data). A timer
`selection on the tracking page (Fig. 20) sets the time interval for capturing location data and
`sending it to the server database. The file creates a Map with discrete Time Stamps for each plot
`point. This tracking map is accessible only with the correct UserID and Code. When Polling is
`ON packets are sent to the Server at the selected rate. If Trip is ON then a new record is created
`on the Server for each packet. There is a limit of 1000 records on the Server so use caution in
`setting a Polling rate for the Trip mode. Use the Get Codes option on the MAP/DATA screen
`(Fig. 14) to manage/delete old records.

`

`
`PerDiemCo is a PDA/Phone application for providing Personel Tracking using your GPS receiver data. With tl
`PerDiemCo software on your PDA or Phone you can do the following:
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`-
`
`Show your PDA or Phone's current location on a Map.
`
`Establish geographic Zones with entry & exit notification.
`
`Selectively send your current location as a Map to others.
`
`Provide ‘coded’ web access to your Maps.
`
`View location and tracking on the PDA or on a PC Map.
`
`Create Shared Zone and location maps on the PDA and on the map Server.
`
`Take photos & provide Location or Map based display.
`
`PERDIEM2017
`
`
`
`

`
`TYPICAL OPERATION
`
`PerDiemCo Location and Tracking software is typically used in the LOCATION mode. This means that the GPS
`connection is active and the TIMER is set to periodically send Location Packets. If TRIP is OFF Location Packe
`will update only the current location record in the Data Base. If TRIP is set to ON, each Location Packet will be
`saved in an individual record on the Data Base. These records can be displayed as a ‘Mapped Track’ on the PDA,
`Phone, or a PC.
`
`If TRACKING is set to TRACK ON, on the MAP Screen (Fig. 7.0), an updated tracking Map will be wirelesslj
`delivered and displayed on the device. This transaction will use approximately 30K per Map. This Map will be
`re-positioned to always be centered. Each additional 'track' (Black Square) showing current location will be adde
`at this center point.
`
`ZONE MANAGEMENT
`
`Zones are geographic boundries defined by Latitude and Longitude coordinates. If the GPS passes over a ‘bound
`an exit or entry alert is issued. A notification is sent to one or more individuals that are defined when the Zone is
`created. These addresses are displayed on the MAP DATA screen (Fig. 8 ). Zones are usually created using the
`Web Zone Tool on http://www.PerDiemCo.com/PDC.htm. Three types of Zones can be created. Two are standai
`Zones defines as ZONE1 and ZONE2. Zonel is displayed in Red and Zone2 is displayed in Blue. Thes are usefu
`for Start and Finish tracking. The third type of Zone is a SHARED zone. A code is used to define this Zone. By
`sharing the Phone number and Code others can ‘load’ this Zone into their device and it will respond with alerts to
`the defined addresses. This is a useful way of providing group tracking and location management.
`
`On Phone devices, only the ZONE1 (Red) Zone can be created, the other Zones, ZONE2 and a SHARED Zone,
`can only be created on a PC.
`
`In Location or Tracking mode Zone monitoring is always active. This means that if the PDA or Phone crosses a
`Zone boundry a Zone Enter/Exit record is created in the Data Base, and an alert is sent to a user defined address.
`Also, if Tracking is ‘Off (Fig. 3.0), tracking records are created and will display ‘tracks’ on the Web Tracking Pa,
`(Fig. 17.0 ), but only within the defined Zone. These ‘tracks’ will use the current polling rate. Remember the poll‘
`rate applies to all Tracking, Location Packet, and Zone sending activity.
`
`Zone management and Tracking is accessed from the http://www.PerDiemCo.com/PDC.htm web page. Access i
`password protected. You must be a registered Member to get a Password.

`
`PHONE REQUIREMENTS:
`
`Microsoft(R) Windows Mobile family: Pocket PC, CE.NET, Smartphone or WM 5.
`Bluetooth and an Internet Data Service.
`
`You should have Microsoft ActiveSync version 4.0 or later installed.
`Download ActiveSync version 4.0 here: http://wvvw.microsoft.com/downloads.
`
`GPS ISSUES:
`
`Position accuracy will vary with GPS receiver configuration (internal vs external), location (geographic latitude,
`it influences HDOP, and surrounding objects possibly blocking reception or causing multi-path reception), satell
`constellation status, and ionosphere conditions.
`
`In an urban street bounded by tall buildings, or in a heavily wooded areas, you may get large errors. Accuracy m
`go to +/- 50 metres, or the GPS may not be able to work at all. This is because some of the satellites are hidden
`from the GPS. The more satellites in direct view, the better your position fix.

`
`Set the CODE (Fig. 2.1) to the desired setting.
`
`REMEMBER!
`
`CODES can be changed at any time.
`CODES can be alphanumeric.
`CODES control access to your location data.
`CODES must be usedfor all Tracking activity.
`Codes are your way of controlling who sees your location data!
`
`When saving Log files Fig. 2.1) the name entered here will be the name of the Log file. Log files of raw GPS da1
`grow at about 1 MB/hour. These files can be 'played' using the Files button in SETUP (fig. 12.0).
`Server Domain name is the name of the Map Server for your PDA or Phone.
`
`To initiate real-time tracking select SETUP from the GPS Page (Fig. 2.2). Set the interval for data packets to be
`sent to the server. Remember that less frequent rates will use less of your wireless data budget.
`
`Fig. 3.0
`
`TRACKING:
`
`To minimize data usage & cost select longer intervals for Polling (sending data). A timer selection on the trackin
`page (Fig. 3.0) sets the time interval for capturing GPS location data and sending it to the server database. The fi
`creates a Map with discrete Time Stamps for each plot point. This tracking map is accessible only with the corre-
`UserID AND Code. When Polling is ON packets are sent to the Server at the selected rate. If Trip is ON then a n
`record is created on the Server for each packet. There is a limit of 600 Location records on the Server so use caui
`in setting a Polling rate for the Trip mode. Use the ‘Get Codes’ option on the MAP/DATA screen (Fig. 14) to
`manage/delete old records.

`
`Setting TRACKING ON will saved all data into the Server DataBase and provide a ‘trail’ on a map using the PD!
`web pages (http://wvvw.perdiemco.com/PDC.htm). Time Left (see Fig. 3.0), refers to time till the next Packet Se
`operation.
`The $GPGGA... in the lower part of the screen is raw GPS data from the selected file. $GP indicates a Valid GPS
`Log file. This is useful in selecting a file to 'run' , since not all log files contain GPS data.
`
`Tracking Simulation:
`Select a log file to run in simulation mode. The GPS raw data is displayed to insure that the ‘Log’ file is really a
`GPS data file. Tap the file name to select and load. File Types are displayed in upper window, file names are
`displayed in lower window.

`
`MANUAL (Local) SEND of a Map request:
`
`If the GPS is providing ‘live’ data a location packet may be sent by tapping the Send button (Fig. 2.2) on the GP‘
`Page at any time. The Map request will create a new map on the Map Server and a record in the DB. The Map II
`will be the phone number plus the current code.
`
`NOTE:
`
`GPS Grid, Port and Baud settings are best left with defaults for automatic configuration.
`
`PLT requires no on-board maps. You do not need to plan which map file to load for a trip. Using the wireless
`connection on your PDA phone and the data from your GPS you can view maps whenever your PDA data phor
`is connected.
`
`Fig. 5.0
`
`All data sent in Map requests comes from this GPS screen.
`
`GPS Settings: Controls the selection of, Baud rate, and Port # for the connection.
`Latitude & Longitude: Indicate current location.
`HDOP or Horizontal Dilution of Precision, is quality of the data, high values are bad!
`Speed & Max Speed: Current speed and fastest speed (MPH) during the current interval.
`Alt(M): Current altitude in Meters.
`Dir.: Direction in degrees. Zero indicates North and 180 indicates South.
`Satellite Data: All visible satellites and their ID #’s and signal strength are listed.
