Through offers to sell, sales, imports, distributions, and other related agreements to transfer\n 9 ownership of Defendant\u2019s accused products with distributors and customers operating in and maintaining\n10 a significant business presence in the U.S., Defendant does business in the U.S., the state of California, and\n11 in the Central District of California.\n12 JURISDICTION AND VENUE\n13 16. This action arises under the patent laws of the United States, 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 101, et seq. This\n\n14 Court\u2019s jurisdiction over this action is proper under the above statutes, including 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 271, et seq.,\n\n15 28 U.S.C. \u00a7 1331 (federal question jurisdiction) and \u00a7 1338 (jurisdiction over patent actions).\n\n16 17. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. \u00a7\u00a7 1331 and 1338(a).\n\n17 18. Venue is proper in this judicial district for Defendant pursuant to 28 U.S.C. \u00a7 1400(b).\n\n18 19. On information and belief, Defendant is subject to this Court\u2019s specific and general personal\n\n19 jurisdiction pursuant to due process and/or the California Long Arm Statute because, inter alia, (i)\n\n20 Defendant has done and continues to do business in California and (ii) Defendant has, directly and through\n\n21 intermediaries, committed and continues to commit acts of patent infringement in the State of California,\n\n22 including making, using, offering to sell, and/or selling accused products in California, and/or importing\n\n23 accused products into California, either directly or vicariously, including by Internet sales and sales via\n\n24 retail and wholesale stores, inducing others to commit acts of patent infringement in California, and/or\n\n25 committing a least a portion of any other infringements alleged herein. Defendant has placed, and continues\n\n26 to place, infringing products into the stream of commerce, via an established distribution channel, with the\n\n27 knowledge and/or understanding that such products are sold in California, including in this District.\n\n28\n ORIGINAL COMPLAINT\n FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT 3 CASE NO: 8:26-cv-2443\n\f Case 8:26-cv-02443 Document 1 Filed 08/27/26 Page 5 of 31 Page ID #:5\n\n\n\n\n 1 Defendant has derived substantial revenues from its infringing acts occurring within California and within\n\n 2 this District.

Personal jurisdiction is proper because Defendant has committed acts of infringement in\n\n 8 this District. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendant because, inter alia, this action arises from\n 9 activities Defendant purposefully directed towards the State of California and this District.\n10 21. Exercising personal jurisdiction over Defendant in this District would not be unreasonable\n11 given Defendant\u2019s contacts in this District, the interest in this District of resolving disputes related to\n12 products sold herein, and the harm that would occur to Flexiworld.\n13 22. In addition, Defendant, either alone or in concert with its affiliates, subsidiaries, agents, or\n14 intermediaries, has knowingly induced infringement within this District by advertising, marketing, offering\n15 for sale and/or selling devices pre-loaded with infringing functionality within this District, to consumers,\n16 customers, manufacturers, distributors, resellers, partners, and/or end users, and providing instructions,\n17 user manuals, advertising, and/or marketing materials which facilitate, direct or encourage the use of\n18 infringing functionality with knowledge thereof.\n\n19 23.

Flexiworld has standing to sue for infringement of the \u2019596 Patent.\n\n 6 GENERAL ALLEGATIONS\n\n 7 93. Defendant has not obtained a license to any of the Patents-in-Suit.\n\n 8 94. Defendant did not have Flexiworld\u2019s permission to make, use, sell, offer to sell, or import\n 9 products or practice methods that are covered by one or more claims of any of the Patents-in-Suit.\n10 95. Defendant has made, used, sold, offered to sell, and/or imported into the United States\n11 products as claimed in each of the Patents-in-Suit.\n12 96. Defendant has infringed (literally and/or under the doctrine of equivalents), directly,\n13 indirectly, and/or through subsidiaries, agents, representatives, or intermediaries, one or more claims of\n14 each of the Patents-in-Suit by making, using, importing, testing, supplying, causing to be supplied, selling,\n15 and/or offering for sale in the United States the Accused Products.\n16 97. Defendant\u2019s customers have directly infringed the Patents-in-Suit by using the Accused\n17 Products. Through its product manuals, website, and/or sales and marketing activities, Defendant solicited,\n18 instructed, encouraged, and aided and abetted their customers to purchase and use the Accused Products in\n\n19 an infringing way.\n\n20 98. Defendant has had knowledge of the Patents-in-Suit at least through Flexiworld\u2019s sending\n\n21 of (and Defendant\u2019s receipt of) a notice letter via U.S. mail on October 28, 2021, a copy of which is attached\n\n22 hereto as Exhibit 12, which identified the Patents-in-Suit, additional Flexiworld patents, and the Accused\n\n23 Products as infringing the Patents-in-Suit. In addition, or in the alternative, Defendant has knowledge of\n\n24 the Patents-in-Suit through the service of this Complaint.\n\n25 99. By receiving such notice of infringement, Defendant obtained a subjective belief that there\n\n26 is a high probability that the Accused Products infringe the Patents-in-Suit. Despite being put on notice of\n\n27 infringement, on information and belief Defendant has not taken any actions to avoid the conduct alleged\n\n28\n ORIGINAL COMPLAINT\n FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT 14 CASE NO: 8:26-cv-2443\n\f Case 8:26-cv-02443 Document 1 Filed 08/27/26 Page 16 of 31 Page ID #:16\n\n\n\n\n 1 to infringe and have not sought to remedy their infringements by offering to take a license. Defendant\u2019s\n\n 2 failure to act reflects deliberate actions to avoid learning that the Accused Products infringe the Patents-in-\n\n 3 Suit and, more generally, a policy of not earnestly reviewing and respecting the intellectual property of\n\n 4 others.\n\n 5 100. Defendant\u2019s actions after learning of the Patents-in-Suit were with specific intent to cause\n\n 6 infringement of one or more claims of each of the Patents-in-Suit.\n\n 7 101. Further discovery may reveal earlier knowledge of one or more of the Patents-in-Suit, which\n\n 8 would provide additional evidence of Defendant\u2019s specific intent, willful blindness, and/or willful\n 9 infringement of the Patents-in-Suit.\n10 102. Despite having knowledge of the Patents-in-Suit, as well as knowledge that it was directly\n11 and/or indirectly infringing one or more claims of each Patent-in-Suit, Defendant nevertheless proceeded\n12 to infringe the Patents-in-Suit, and induce others to do the same, with full and complete knowledge of the\n13 applicability of the Patents-in-Suit to the Accused Products, without a license and without a good faith\n14 belief that the claims of the Patents-in-Suit were not infringed. As noted above, this includes, but is not\n\n15 limited to, the willful blindness of Defendant including its refusal to investigate whether the Accused\n\n16 Products infringe the Patents-in-Suit.\n\n17 103. Flexiworld has been damaged as a result of Defendant\u2019s infringing conduct. Defendant is\n\n18 therefore liable to Flexiworld in an amount that adequately compensates Flexiworld for Defendant\u2019s\n\n19 infringements, which, by law, cannot be less than a reasonable royalty, together with interest and costs as\n\n20 fixed by this Court under 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 284.\n\n21 104. In addition, for the reasons discussed herein, Defendant\u2019s infringing activities detailed in\n\n22 this Complaint and Exhibits 13-26 have been willful, egregious, wanton, and deliberate in disregard to\n\n23 Flexiworld\u2019s rights, justifying a finding of willful infringement, enhanced damages under 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 284\n\n24 and attorneys\u2019 fees and costs incurred in prosecuting this action under 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 285.\n\n25 105. Defendant marketed and sold other products that are not covered by the claims of the\n\n26 Patents-in-Suit but that were sold with or in conjunction with the Accused Products. Accordingly,\n\n27 Flexiworld is entitled to collect damages from Defendant for convoyed sales of certain non-patented items.\n\n28\n ORIGINAL COMPLAINT\n FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT 15 CASE NO: 8:26-cv-2443\n\f Case 8:26-cv-02443 Document 1 Filed 08/27/26 Page 17 of 31 Page ID #:17\n\n\n\n\n 1 106. Defendant failed to obtain permission from Flexiworld to make, use, sell, offer to sell, or\n\n 2 import products incorporating the inventions claimed in the Patents-in-Suit including, but not limited to,\n\n 3 the Accused Products.\n\n 4 107. Attached hereto are Exhibits 13-26, and incorporated herein by reference, are representative\n\n 5 claim charts detailing how exemplar Accused Products have infringed the Patents-in-Suit.\n\n 6 108. On information and belief, with respect to each Patent-in-Suit Flexiworld has complied with\n\n 7 the requirements of 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 287.\n\n 8 109. Since issuance of each of the Patents-in-Suit, Flexiworld has not made, offered for sale,\n 9 sold, or imported a product that practices any of the Patents-in-Suit or that would otherwise require marking\n10 under 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 287.\n11 110. Further, on information and belief Flexiworld\u2019s licensees either did not make, offer to sell,\n12 sell, or import products that would require marking under 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 287 or otherwise did not have an\n13 obligation to mark any of their products with any of the Patents-in-Suit.\n14 111. Flexiworld complied with the requirements of 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 287, to the extent necessary, such\n15 that Flexiworld may recover pre-suit damages.\n16 112.

Additionally, on information and belief, Defendant has indirectly infringed the \u2019811 Patent\n\n25 in violation of 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 271(b) at least by inducing customers to purchase the Accused TVs and/or by\n\n26 instructing customers how to use the Accused TVs in a way that directly infringed at least claims 9-11 and\n\n27 14 of the \u2019811 Patent. Defendant has also indirectly infringed the \u2019811 Patent in violation of 35 U.S.C.\n\n28\n ORIGINAL COMPLAINT\n FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT 16 CASE NO: 8:26-cv-2443\n\f Case 8:26-cv-02443 Document 1 Filed 08/27/26 Page 18 of 31 Page ID #:18\n\n\n\n\n 1 \u00a7 271(b) at least by inducing customers to purchase the Accused TVs and/or by instructing customers how\n\n 2 to use the Accused TVs in a way that directly infringed at least claims 9-11 and 14 of the \u2019811 Patent.\n\n 3 116.

On information and belief, despite Defendant\u2019s knowledge of the \u2019811 Patent and of its\n 9 infringement of the \u2019811 Patent, Defendant has not sought to remedy its infringement or sought to identify\n10 any good faith belief as to why it does not infringe the \u2019811 Patent.\n11 119. On information and belief, Defendant\u2019s actions represented a specific intent to induce\n12 infringement of at least claims 9-11 and 14 of the \u2019811 Patent. For example, Defendant offered its\n13 customers extensive customer support and instructions that instructed and encouraged its customers to\n14 infringe the \u2019811 Patent via at least their use of the Accused TVs. See, e.g.,\n15 https://support.vizio.com/s/?language=en_US.\n16 120.

In addition, Defendant\u2019s infringing activities detailed in this Complaint and Exhibit 13 have\n\n20 been willful, egregious, wanton, and deliberate in disregard to Flexiworld\u2019s rights, justifying a finding of\n\n21 willful infringement, enhanced damages under 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 284 and attorneys\u2019 fees and costs incurred in\n\n22 prosecuting this action under 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 285.\n\n23 COUNT II \u2013 INFRINGEMENT OF THE \u2019259 PATENT\n\n24 122.

On information and belief, Defendant\u2019s actions represented a specific intent to induce\n\n24 infringement of at least claims 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, and 11-13 of the \u2019596 Patent. For example, Defendant offered\n\n25 its customers extensive customer support and instructions that instructed and encouraged its customers to\n\n26 infringe the \u02bc596 Patent via at least their use of the Accused Apps and Accused Remotes. See, e.g.,\n\n27 https://support.vizio.com/s/?language=en_US.\n\n28\n ORIGINAL COMPLAINT\n FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT 28 CASE NO: 8:26-cv-2443\n\f Case 8:26-cv-02443 Document 1 Filed 08/27/26 Page 30 of 31 Page ID #:30\n\n\n\n\n 1 210. As a result of Defendant\u2019s infringement of the \u2019596 Patent, Flexiworld has suffered and is\n\n 2 owed monetary damages adequate to compensate it for the infringement under 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 284, but in no\n\n 3 event less than a reasonable royalty.\n\n 4 211. In addition, Defendant\u2019s infringing activities detailed in this Complaint and Exhibits 25 and\n\n 5 26 have been willful, egregious, wanton, and deliberate in disregard to Flexiworld\u2019s rights, justifying a\n\n 6 finding of willful infringement, enhanced damages under 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 284 and attorneys\u2019 fees and costs\n\n 7 incurred in prosecuting this action under 35 U.S.C. \u00a7 285.\n\n 8 DEMAND FOR A JURY TRIAL\n 9 Pursuant to Rule 38 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Flexiworld demands a trial by jury on\n\n10 all issues triable of right by a jury.\n\n11 PRAYER FOR RELIEF\n\n12 WHEREFORE, Flexiworld respectfully requests that this Court enter judgment in its favor and\n\n13 grant the following relief:\n\n14 a. A judgment that Defendant has directly and/or indirectly infringed one or more claims of\n\n15 each of the Patents-in-Suit;\n\n16 b.

The video during the transcoding process is broken down into\n\nsegments and converted into multiple different resolutions. The processing of multiple segments is\n\nspread across multiple machines to parallelize the process thus increasing the throughput. If a video\ngoes viral, itis subject to another round of video compression. This second round of compression\n\nensures the same visual quality of the video at a much smaller size.\n\nWhen encoding videos YouTube chooses a bitrate within the limits that the codec allows. A video with\na high bitrate has better quality but there is a sweet spot beyond which even on increasing the bitrate\nthere is not a significant visual improvement in the video quality though the video size increases in\n\nthe process.\n\nYouTube also takes into account the playback statistics of the video player on the client's device like\nhow often the player switches to a lower resolution with respect to the steaming bandwidth available\non the client & so on. It then predicts if a better resolution content can be pushed to the user, being\naware of his streaming bandwidth limit. This performance estimation enabled YouTube to cut down\non the bandwidth, increasing user engagement on the platform simultaneously. More on this here &\n\nhere.\n\nFor encoding it\u2019s videos YouTube uses VP9 - an open-source codec that compresses videos with HD &\n4k quality at half the bandwidth used by other codes.\n\nOnce the videos are transcoded and stored in the database, they are spread across the cache\n\nnetwork of the platform. When the user requests a video, the platform checks the viewer's device\n\ntype, screen size, processing capability, the network bandwidth and then delivers the fitting video\n\nversion in real-time from the nearest Edge location.\n\nPopular content is\nserved from the CON\n\nCDN Video is broken down into\n\nServer pl] segments & processed parallely\nZA\n\nUser uploads a video\n{| Video\niS re\n\nYouTube Less popular content is\nMobile Client arived fromm ine\ndatabase acpaeecedesnsectenassenenuceds\nYT Backend\n8bitmen.com\n\nYouTube's Video Delivery Architecture\n\nSource: https://scaleyourapp.com/youtube-architecture-how-does-it-serve-high-quality-\nvideos-with-low-latency/\n\nUS.

DRM_accomplishes this by including, or packaging, a DRM header in the segments of the\n\nfile. The DRM packaging includes the information required to contact the license server and an\n\nencryption information needed to play a file. Once the file has been packaged, it is sent to the content\n\ndistribution network, which can be a service such as Amazon $3 and CloudFront, or a non-AWS service\nsuch as Akamai. After the file has been distributed, the license server needs to be contacted for a license\nbefore the file plays. DRM goes beyond standard encryption by specifying an entire set of protocols for\ncontent protection.The following figure shows the basic flow of how DRM works.\n\nDRM License\nProvider\n\nContent Provider\n\nAmazon Elastic Content Distribution\nTranscoder Network\n\nElastic Transcoder handles the DRM packaging (the last three steps of this process) for you:\n\n1. The content provider (you) calls the DRM license provider with a content key ID to generate a content\nkey.\n\n2. The license provider uses the key ID to generate a content key and returns it and a license acquisition\nURL to the content provider.\n\n3. The content provider calls AWS KMS to encrypt the content key, and AWS KMS returns the encrypted\ncontent key.\n\n4. The content provider calls the package server (Elastic Transcoder) with the encrypted content key, key\nID, and license acquisition URL.\n\n5. The package server fetches the file to be protected, and bundles it with the DRM information.\n6. The package server sends the DRM-protected file to the distribution server, which distributes the file.\n\nUS.

If the initiator of the device discovery\nreceives a complete local name or a shortened local name that is considered\nlong enough, via an extended inquiry response from a remote device, the initia-\ntor should not do a separate name discovery for that device.\n\nDp\nA B\n\ninitiate _ a | Make discoverable & connectable\ndevice discovery oo\n\nInquiry\n\nlist of discovered Bluetooth devices\n_g (Bluetooth Device Addresses and\n\n\u201cExtended Inquiry Response\ninformation) %\n\nName discovery\n\n<2,\n\nst of discovered Bluetooth devices\n\nFigure 6.5: Device discovery procedure.\n\nUS.

This information is:\n\n\u00ab The Bluetooth Device Address (BD ADDR) from which the Device Access\nCode is generated;\n\n* The system clock of the remote device;\n\n\u00ab The page scan mode used by the remote device.\n\nAdditional information provided during device discovery that is useful for mak-\ning the decision to initiate an establishment procedure is:\n\n\u00ab The Class of device;\n+ The Device name;\n+ The supported Service Classes.\n\n4 layer:\n\nDuring the exchange of packets between an inquiring and discoverable device\nit may be considered that a temporary physical link exists between these\ndevices. However, the concept is quite irrelevant as it has no physical repre-\nsentation but is only implied by the brief transaction between the devices. No\nfurther architectural layers are considered to be supported.\n\nSource: https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/specs/cs-core-specification-2-ledr/\n\nFind Bluetooth devices /-\n\nUsing the BluetoothAdapter , you can find remote Bluetooth devices either through device discovery or by querying the\nlist of paired devices.\n\nMake sure you have the appropriate Bluetooth permissions and set up your app for Bluetooth before attempting to find\nBluetooth devices.\n\nDevice discovery is a scanning procedure that searches the local area for Bluetooth-enabled devices and requests some\ninformation about each one. This process is sometimes referred to as discovering, inquiring, or scanning. A nearby\nBluetooth device responds to a discovery request only if itis currently accepting information requests by being\ndiscoverable. lf a device is discoverable, it responds to the discovery request by sharing some information, such as the\ndevice's name, its class, and its unique MAC address. Using this information, the device that is performing the discovery\nprocess can then choose to initiate a connection to the discovered device.\n\nSource:\nhttps://web.archive.org/web/202 10623064952/https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/con\nnectivity/bluetooth/find-bluetooth-devices\n\nSound Bar transmits device attributes to smartphone over Wi-Fi connection:\n\nee-Vig iit mm Coll mm adi Celitcmcom ai (-m UP 4 OM\" [o)o) i (-w-Vo) 0)\n\nUS.

A Bluetooth device that tries to find\n\nother nearby devices is known as an inquiring device and actively sends\ninquiry requests. Bluetooth devices that are available to be found are known as\n\ndiscoverable devices and listen for these inquiry requests and send responses.\nThe inquiry procedure uses a special physical channel for the inquiry requests\nand responses.\n\n6.1 GENERAL INQUIRY\n\n6.1.1 Purpose\n\nThe purpose of the general inquiry procedure is to provide the initiator with the\nBluetooth device address, clock, Class of Device and used page scan mode of\ngeneral discoverable devices (i.e. devices that are in range with regard to the\ninitiator and are set to scan for inquiry messages with the General Inquiry\nAccess Code). Also devices in limited discoverable mode will be discovered\nusing general inquiry.\n\nThe general inquiry should be used by devices that need to discover devices\nthat are made discoverable continuously or for no specific condition.\n\n6.3 NAME DISCOVERY\n\n6.3.1 Purpose\n\nThe purpose of name discovery is to provide the initiator with the Bluetooth\nDevice Name of connectable devices (i.e. devices in range that will respond to\n\npaging).\n\n6.4 DEVICE DISCOVERY\n\n6.4.1 Purpose\n\nThe purpose of device discovery is to provide the initiator with the Bluetooth\nDevice Address, clock, Class of Device, used page scan mode and Bluetooth\ndevice name of discoverable devices.\n\nUS.

If the initiator of the device discovery\nreceives a complete local name or a shortened local name that is considered\nlong enough, via an extended inquiry response from a remote device, the initia-\ntor should not do a separate name discovery for that device.\n\nDp\nA B\n\ninitiate _ a | Make discoverable & connectable\ndevice discovery a\n\nInquiry\nlist of discovered Bluetooth devices\n\n_g (Bluetooth Device Addresses and\n\u201cExtended Inquiry Response\ninformation)\n\nName discovery\n\n<2,\n\nst of discovered Bluetooth devices _ |\n(Bluetooth Device Names)\n\nFigure 6.5: Device discovery procedure.\n\nThe establishment procedures defined here do not include any discovery part.\nBefore establishment procedures are initiated, the information provided during\ndevice discovery (in the FHS packet or the extended inquiry response packet\n\nof the inquiry response or in the response to a name request) has to be avail-\n\nable in the initiating device. This information is:\n\n\u00ab The Bluetooth Device Address (BD ADDR) from which the Device Access\nCode is generated;\n\n+ The system clock of the remote device;\n\n\u00ab The page scan mode used by the remote device.\n\nAdditional information provided during device discovery that is useful for mak-\ning the decision to initiate an establishment procedure is:\n\n\u00ab The Class of device;\n+ The Device name;\n+ The supported Service Classes.\n\n3.4 layer:\n\nDuring the exchange of packets between an inquiring and discoverable device\nit may be considered that a temporary physical link exists between these\ndevices.

This process is sometimes referred to as discovering, inquiring, or scanning. A nearby\nBluetooth device responds to a discovery request only if itis currently accepting information requests by being\ndiscoverable. If a device is discoverable, it responds to the discovery request by sharing some information, such as the\ndevice's name, its class, and its unique MAC address. Using this information, the device that is performing the discovery\nprocess can then choose to initiate a connection to the discovered device.\n\nSource:\nhttps://web.archive.org/web/202 10623064952/https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/con\nnectivity/bluetooth/find-bluetooth-devices\n\ny Xo lol a(a-io M-\\e(e|(e)\nDEY eal olebi(olam sa eeyii(=)\n\nAV-4 D1 ad\n\nThe technical term \u201cAdvanced Audio Distribution Profile\" - in short A2DP - refers fo a transfer standard via a Bluetooth\n\nconnection, for the wireless transfer of high quality audio signals. The transfer of audio signals between the devices of\narbitrary manufacturers who support this standard is enabled by A2DP.\n\nIn general terms, the Low Complexity Subband Code - also referred to as the SBC Codec - is used in orcler to transfer\n\nstereo audio signals. It compresses the audio signals and always delivers these with a loss, although the high data\n\ntransfer rate of up to 345 kilobits per second and the perfected algorithm ensure barely perceptible quality losses.\n\nThe Advanced Audio Distribution Profile is used between an A2DP source and a recipient. The audio signals, which are\n\nsupplied by the source [e.g. a smartphone or MP3 player) via Bluetooth are decoded by the A2DP recipient (e.g. a\n\nBluetooth-capable loudspeaker) and then reissued as an audio signal.\n\nThe Advanced Audio Distribution Profle Standard is supported by all the latest customary smartphone operating system\nversions (including amongst others iOS, Android and Windows Phone). This enables the playback of audio data on\n\nsuitable devices. This technology is frequently found in the automotive sector in particular. Here, the smartphone is\ncoupled with a hands-free kit or a car stereo via Bluetooth. If the connection is not being used for telephone calls then it\nis possible to play the music stored on the smartphone with a very high audio quality via the A2DP\n\nThe Advanced Audio Distribution Profile is frequently also used in conjunction with the so-called AVRCP profile. This not\nonly enables the transfer of pure audio data, but also of information for controlling devices. In this way it is also possible\nfo remotely operate an audio player from a Bluetooth headset, for excimple.\n\nSource: https://web.archive.org/web/20220516174125/https:/Awww_.nfon.com/en/get-\nstarted/cloud-telephony/lexicon/knowledge-base-detail/a2dp\n\nUS.

A Bluetooth profile is a wireless interface\nspecification for Bluetooth-based communication between devices, such as the Hands-Free profile. For a mobile device\nto connect to a wireless headset, both devices must support the Hands-Free profile.\n\nThe Bluetooth API provides implementations for the following Bluetooth profiles:\n\n\u00ab Headset. The Headset profile provides support for Bluetooth headsets to be used with mobile phones. Android\nprovides the BluetoothHeadset class, which is a proxy for controlling the Bluetooth Headset Service. This\nincludes both Bluetooth Headset and Hands-Free (v1.5) profiles. The BluetoothHeadset class includes support\nfor AT commands. For more on this topic, see Vendor-specific AT commands.\n\nA2DP. The Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) profile defines how high-quality audio can be streamed\nfrom one device to another over a Bluetooth connection. Android provides the BluetoothA2dp class, which is a\nproxy for controlling the Bluetooth A2DP Service.\n\nHealth Device. Android provides support for the Bluetooth Health Device Profile (HDP). This lets you create apps\nthat use Bluetooth to communicate with health devices that support Bluetooth, such as heart-rate monitors, blood\nmeters, thermometers, scales, and so on. For a list of supported devices and their corresponding device data\nspecialization codes, see Bluetooth's HDP Device Data Specializations 4. These values are also referenced in the\nISO/IEEE 11073-20601 [7] specification as MDC_DEV_SPEC_PROFILE_* in the Nomenclature Codes Annex. For\nmore information about HDP. see Health Device Profile.\n\nSource: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/connectivity/bluetooth/profiles\n\n\u201cThe A2DP standard operates in stereo and supports most of the standard audio compression\ncodecs. The recommended sub-band coding (SBC) codec supports up to 345 kilobits per\nsecond at 48 kilohertz. That\u2019s approximately one third the quality of standard CD audio\u2014\nroughly the equivalent of a high-quality MP3 recording. Due to high \u201clossy\u201d compression in\nthe SBC codec, the reality of the audio quality is considerably lower, somewhere in the range\n\nof 256kbit/s.\u201d\n\nSource: _ https:/Awww.howtogeek.com/338750/whats-the-difference-between-bluetooth-a2dp-\nand-aptx/\n\nCodec stands for encode/decode. Because raw audio data is too large to\n\ntransmit and stream in real-time, audio must be compressed (encoded)\n\nusing a codec before it's streamed over Bluetooth A2DP (Advanced\n\nAudio Distribution Profile). Once the encoded audio is recevied by the\n\noutput device, it is decoded before it can be played. Each source and\n\noutput device supports its own combination of codecs and generally the\n\nhighest performing common codec between the source and output\n\ndevice will be used.\n\nSource: https://bluetoothcheck.com/codecs\n\nWi-Fi communication:\n\nUS.

After the pairing and bonding processes are complete, the two devices exchange\ninformation. When the session is complete, the device that initiated the pairing request releases the channel that had\nlinked it to the discoverable device.

With Chromecast built-in, every VIZIO SmartCast\ndisplay, sound bar and speaker makes it easy for consumers to easily stream from\nthousands of mobile apps they already know and love directly to their VIZIO\nSmartCast device. By simply tapping the Cast button from within their favorite apps\nlike Netflix and YouTube, content is then streamed directly from the Internet to any\nVIZIO SmartCast device via the respective WiFi network. In addition to casting\ncontent from Chromecast-enabled apps, the VIZIO SmartCast app transforms iOS\nand Android mobile devices into powerful touchscreen remotes, allowing users to\nuse text or voice search to simultaneously search and browse content across\nmultiple apps by genre. Once users find a title, they simply tap their desired service\nto begin streaming content directly to their VIZIO SmartCast display. They can then\ncontinue using their mobile devices for other activities without interrupting the\nstream to the big screen.\n\nSource: https://www.vizio.com/en/press/2017/jan/vizio-unveils-new-features-and-ui-for-\nsmartcast-app\n\nno tae en ie > +e V4 Pa | aD |\n\nUS.

From our servers to the world wide web to your ISP's (Internet Service Provider) network, our content\ntravels across multiple touch points to get to your screen.\n\nlit starts when you hit \u2018Play,\n\nFirst, Netflix has to decide where to send your TV\nshow or movie from. Netflix has servers all over the\nworld, and will send your video stream from as\nclose to you as possible. The shorter the route, the\nhigher the video quality.\n\nWhen you hit play, Netflix uses the most efficient\npath possible to carry the video through our system\n\nto your ISP. Much like when traveling on a highway,\n\nNetflix tries to route your video around any traffic,\n\naccidents, or construction on the way.\n\nSource:\nhttps://web.archive.org/web/202 10427123613/https://help netflix.com/en/node/85\n\nIt starts when you press \u2018Play\u2019\n\nWhen you press play, Netflix sends the video to your\ninternet provider using the fastest way possible.\nThink of it like driving on a road. When Netflix sends a\nvideo, we try to avoid traffic, accidents, and\nconstruction along the way to get the video to you\nquickly. Shorter paths make your video quality better.\n\nWe can\u2019t do it without help\n\nAfter Netflix sends the video to your internet provider,\nit goes through their network to get to your home. If\ntheir network is too slow or has issues, it can affect\nyour video quality or cause issues with your Netflix\nexperience.\n\nIf the road is clear, your internet provider will send the\nvideo directly to your screen. The video quality you\nget can be also affected by how strong your home\ninternet connection is, and how many devices in your\nhome are using the internet at the same time.\n\nSource: https://help .netflix.com/en/node/85\n\nU.S. Patent No. 11,029,903\n\nPage 15 of 79\n\n\fCase 8:26-cv-02443 Document1-19 Filed 08/27/26 Page16of79 Page ID #:912\n\nThe following diagram illustrates how the playback process works:\n\n<4\neo OCA serves files to Client Device == |\n\nClient Devices pe OCAs\n\\ e \u2018Client Device requests files from OCA\naS \u2014 Reports health\n\u201cPlay\u201d \u2014 \u201c \u2018 status, learned\n(2) re ai st routes, and\na Determines Picks OCAs, available files\nrequired sends URLs to\nfiles Client Device\n7 Cache\nPlayback Steering\n_ Apps Service |\u201c \u2014| Control\n(CODA) Service\n/ \\ (\u20acCs)\nNetflix in AWS.\n\n1.

Netflix has servers all over the\nworld, and will send your video stream from as\nclose to you as possible. The shorter the route, the\n\nhigher the video quality.\n\nWhen you hit play, Netflix uses the most efficient\npath possible to carry the video through our system\n\nto your ISP. Much like when traveling on a highway,\n\nNetflix tries to route your video around any traffic,\n\naccidents, or construction on the way.\n\nSource:\nhttps://web.archive.org/web/202 10427 123613/https://help netflix.com/en/node/85\n\nHow Netflix streams videos\n\nNetflix sends movies and TV shows to your screen using the\ninternet, but we need help.

When Netflix sends a\nvideo, we try to avoid traffic, accidents, and\nconstruction along the way to get the video to you\nquickly. Shorter paths make your video quality better.\n\nWe can\u2019t do it without help\n\nAfter Netflix sends the video to your internet provider,\nit goes through their network to get to your home. If\ntheir network is too slow or has issues, it can affect\nyour video quality or cause issues with your Netflix\nexperience.\n\nIf the road is clear, your internet provider will send the\nvideo directly to your screen. The video quality you\nget can be also affected by how strong your home\ninternet connection is, and how many devices in your\nhome are using the internet at the same time.\n\nSource: https://help .netflix.com/en/node/85\n\nA NETFLIX ORIGIN.\n\nTHE\n\nFUNDAMENTALS\n* CARING\n\nComing June 24\n\nom Imm\n\nmb\n\n| DAU SPCC En > | fos ir i\n\nUS.

That's\nthe magic of streaming! Unlike the old days when you had to download a whole movie\nbefore you could even press play, streaming lets you dive right in.\n\nHere's how it works: when you hit play, the video starts after downloading just\nenough to get you going \u2014 usually a few minutes' worth. And while you're enjoying\nthe show, the service is sneakily downloading the next part in the background. This\nclever trick is what we call \u2018buffering\u2019, and it's like having a little stash of the movie\nready and waiting just for you.\n\nNormally, the buffer stays ahead of your watching, quietly making sure you have a\nsmooth, uninterrupted viewing experience. But sometimes, if the video stops and you\nsee that it's 'Buffering' or 'Rebuffering\u2019, it's just your movie taking a quick breath to\ncatch up because you've watched everything in the buffer.\n\nIf you're facing this little hiccup, it could be because your internet connection is\nplaying hard to get. Streaming loves a zippy, stable internet connection, and if yours is\nmore like a lazy river than a fast-flowing stream, the movie might pause now and then\nto refill its buffer.\u201d\n\nSource: https://support.vizio.com/s/article/Freezing-Buffering-Streaming-\nVideo?language=en_US\n\nwherein the wireless output device\nfurther: uses the one or more\nwireless communication units of\nthe wireless output device, which\nare compatible, at least in part,\nwith at least part of a protocol\nwithin IEEE 802.11 wireless\nstandards, to broadcast\navailability of the wireless output\n\nThe wireless output device (e.g., Vizio Smart TV \u2014 D24-G]1, etc.) uses the one or more\nwireless communication units (e.g., Wi-Fi module compatible with at least part of a\nprotocol within IEEE 802.11 wireless standards, etc.), to broadcast its availability for a\nclient device (e.g., smartphone, etc.) that is present in the same wireless local area\nnetwork as the wireless output device to wirelessly discover the wireless output device,\nover the wireless local area network (e.g., Wi-Fi network, etc.) wirelessly coupled in (1).\nThe wireless output device is a separate device from the client device.\n\nU.S. Patent No. 11,029,903\n\nPage 52 of 79\n\n\fCase 8:26-cv-02443\n\nDocument 1-19\n\nFiled 08/27/26 Page 53o0f79 Page ID #:949\n\ndevice for a client device that is in\nthe same wireless local area\nnetwork as the wireless output\ndevice to wirelessly discover, over\nthe wireless local area network\nwirelessly coupled in (1), the\nwireless output device, the client\ndevice being a separate device\nfrom the wireless output device\nand from the one or more servers;\nand\n\nSmartphone \u2014 Android device\n\nCOMMS | WLAN WEF $02.10 avb/ginfac, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct\nBluetooth 5.0, 4200.

The video encoding process optimizes the video size to deliver the\n\nhighest quality at the lowest bitrate. The most popular video codecs in use today are H.264\n\nand VP9. SD resolution streams are encoded using H.264 codec, which has the widest\n\ndecoder support. On the other hand, HD resolution streams are encoded using VP9. This is\n\ndone for the delivery of 1080p streams to devices such as Android TV. As of February 2018,\n\nhardware-level decryption for Widevine-encrypted streams are available for Smart TVs by\nthe following device makers: LG (WebOS), Panasonic (FirefoxOS), Philips (Android TV),\nSamsung (Tizen), Sharp Aquos (Android TV), Sony Bravia (Android TV.
