6 disputed terms and the courts ruling.

1. Social Signature:

• Ruling: The Court will therefore construe the term “social signature” to mean “a combination of processed sensor data and/or other information based on sensors.”

2. Social Hierarchy:

• Ruling: The Court will therefore adopt a modified version of both parties’ proposed constructions, as follows: “an arrangement of persons and/or operations in a series of ordered levels.”

3. Sensor Value Range:

• Ruling: Because it best conforms to the intrinsic evidence and the plain and ordinary meaning of United States District Court Northern District of California the term, the Court will therefore adopt Dropcam’s construction of the “sensor value range” as the “range of measurements between two values.”

4. Information:

• Ruling: Although it does appear that the “information” described in the patents results from a comparison of the sensor data with the social templates, the Court agrees with e.Digital that “the social template comparison is already a component of the claims and therefore need not be incorporated into the Court’s construction.” ECF No. 53 at 15. Because the patent does not evince the patentee’s intent to deviate from the term’s commonly-understood meaning, the Court will adopt e.Digital’s proposal that “information” be given its plain and ordinary meaning.

5. Provide/Provides/Providing differing levels of information

• Ruling: The Court will therefore adopt e.Digital’s proposal that “Provide/Provides/Providing differing levels of information” be given its plain and ordinary meaning.

6. Provided/Provides/Providing an update

• Ruling: The Court will therefore adopt e.Digital’s proposal that the term “Provided/Provides/Providing an update” be given its plain and ordinary meaning.
