Application 09/875,670
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Cheng relates to bridging a non-IP network and the Internet Web
using thin glue layers, which translate between IP protocol and HAVi API (¶
0011).
2. As depicted in Figure 2, Cheng provides for a bridge between
Internet 170 and a HAVi network 130 via two thin glue layers 220 and 260

3. The only proxy is shown as HAVi Web proxy client 310 and
HAVi Web proxy 320 included in the block diagram of the thin glue layer
220, as shown in Figure 3 (¶ 0027).
4. The IP Web client 330 allows messaging between the HAVi-
specific application 230 and the Internet Web server 180 (¶ 0031).
However, Cheng does not show a server on the controller nor a proxy
included in the IP network device, as recited in claim 29.
5. Cheng does not explain how a message is communicated between
each one of a HAVi network device and the IP network devices, as recited in
claim 29.
