1. Name of Business: Food Service Industry Technology Research Association
2. Description of Subject Business in Application:i) Overview
Company A, a general hardware manufacturer, Company B, a software vendor, Company C, acommunications device manufacturer, and Company D, a restaurant management consultant, have eachcontributed patents and have had their researchers to form a technology research association in order todevelop a new business targeting restaurants (restaurants, coffee shops, eateries, hotels, etc.) catering to
middle-class clientele, and conducted joint research and development related to the new business for the"Store Operation System for Mid-Level Restaurant Operators."
The parties have jointly obtained patents on the results of their joint research.
Subsequently, the parties agreed to reorganize the technology research association to form Company W,
which would be engaged in the manufacture, sales, lease, rental, and maintenance service for the store
operation system, the product of their joint research and development.
ii) Description of Joint Research< Purpose >There are problems that customers would face such as difficulties of having their orders taken when thestore is crowded; obtaining an image of the prepared food and beverages from the menu; or knowing
when their orders will be delivered to their table, as well as problems faced with by the mid-level
restaurant operators such as that the existing ordering systems are too expensive and do not work withother systems with no scalability to meet the requirements of different store sizes, and that it is
impossible to invest a lot of money in equipment or in on-site training. The joint research was designed
to realize the following technologies and the commercialize them in order to resolve the problems
described above.
Technology that can be maintained and managed at a low cost, with the scalability to adjust to
various food and beverages offered and to the size of the store, the versatility for greater and wider
use; and greater compatibility with existing data, etc.; andTechnology to present information that stimulates customer’s desire to place additional orders.
13< Store Operation Image >a) The customers will use a tablet associated with the table to view the contents displayed by GUI such as
the "Images of Food and Beverages in Menu," the "Ingredients," and the timelengh until service to thetable before ordering (1). The progress can be checked as needed. No waitstaff is involved.
b) The orders are displayed on the kitchen tablet along with the sequence of orders for food preparation(2).
c) The readiness notice is sent from the kitchen tablet to the waiter tablet (3). The waiter tablet displays
the food and beverages and the seating location of the customers to ensure that the food and beverages
ordered by the customers are served to the correct tables (4).
d) The food and beverages served to the customers such as a drink, for example, are equipped with asensor and if the tilt angel of the glass increases, the sensor will detect that the glass is empty and thedetected information is sent to the processing server, or otherwise, the waitstaff will use the waitertablet to communicate the information to the processing server. The processing server will cause thecustomer tablet to display additional orders as appropriate depending on the situation (1').
e) Processes from (1) to (4) will be repeated for additional orders that are placed.
f) When leaving the store, the customers will use the customer tablet to pay the bill (5).

[Seal][Seal]

1. Description of Technical Componentsa) GUI Technology(Graphical User Interface)
A GUI for general-purpose tablet devices for customers, kitchen, and waiter, which is scalable dependingon the size of the store. It has a unique way of presenting the information.
b) Monitoring Technology of Dining Progress
A general-purpose personal computer is used as the processing server running application software(hereinafter the "AP") that processes the orders and the state of dining progress, preparation of food, andservice, as well as the information from the monitoring of the dining progress. It creates unique andappropriate contents for different situations and displays them through the GUI on the applicable tablet
devices. In addition, it processes information gathered from the order histories of the customers formarketing purposes, which is used to offer food and beverages to other customers.
c) Sensing Technology
This technology detects the condition of the tableware and glasses, detects the dining progress of thecustomers in real time, and sends the results of detection to the processing server. Gyro sensors, etc., areused to detect the tilt angles and movements, and near-field communication (Bluetooth) modules are usedthat are available in miniature-size and for a small cost.
d) Account Processing Technology
This technology helps to seamlessly manage the processes from entering orders (including additional
orders) to the completion of food preparation, the completion of service, and bill payment without
re-entering the data.

items (movements).

Account Processing Technology*Centralized management of data entry fromentry of orders and additional orders to foodpreparation, service, and bill payment.

Sensing Technology*Detects the condition of tableware and glasses.
Near-field communication.

2. Technology We Wish to Leverage for Competitive Advantagea) Core Technology
The technology that makes it possible to display in the menu of the customer tablets various images of thefood and beverages in menu, ingredients, Haram images (Halal mark??), and the approximate waitingtime before the food and beverages are served. In addition, without the waitstaff monitoring the dining
progress, it can bring up the screen to suggest additional orders at the most optimal timing. Through thesensing technology, the processing server can detect the timing of when the customers may want to order
additional food or drink, and casually suggest additional orders on the customer tablets.
The tablets for the kitchen and servers can communicate the progress status by a simple touch.
The seating location of the customers (including when they are reseated) can be detected by the sensing
technology, and the current seating location is displayed on the waiter tablet based on the detection
results.

b) Quasi-Core Technology
The system configuration that has the flexibility to change the number of tablets and the menu items, etc.,
depending on the needs of the store, which will help prevent extra expenditures, and makes it possible toadd more tablets during the peak hours and return them afterwards.
3. Weakness of Businessa) Vulnerablilty-Causing Patents
Through the process of Advisory Opinion on Operability (Phase 1), it was found that somevulnerability-causing patents (patents owned by Competitors X and Y) are involved in the business ofCompany W, and furthermore, it was found that those vulnerability-causing patents would affect theCore Technology of the business.
On the other hand, although they are not patents within the business scope of Company D, Company D
owns Patents Px1 and Py1, the technical scope of which includes a service (online reservation)
