1. U.S. Patent No. 9,298,864

• Full Citation: US 9,298,864 B2, Poulin, D. P., "Systems including device and network simulation for mobile application development", published March 29, 2016.
• Publication/Filing Date: Publication: March 29, 2016. The application leading to this patent (U.S. application Ser. No. 14/084,321) was filed November 19, 2013.
• Brief Description: This patent describes a system, method, and software product for emulating and profiling an application running on a mobile device. It involves emulating the mobile device using a model based on performance characteristics, playing the application within this model, and monitoring its resource utilization to identify areas that might exceed the mobile device's capabilities. The description also covers authoring environments, network simulation, and collaborative development ("para-authoring").
• Potentially Anticipates Under 35 U.S.C. § 102: As US10691579 is a divisional application of the application that matured into US9298864, US9298864 fully anticipates all claims of US10691579 that are drawn to the same inventive subject matter and supported by the disclosure of US9298864. This generally means it anticipates claims related to the system, method, and software product for emulating and profiling mobile applications, determining resource utilization, providing a development environment, and simulating network interactions for mobile application development.

2. U.S. Patent No. 8,589,140

• Full Citation: US 8,589,140 B2, Poulin, D. P., "Systems including device and network simulation for mobile application development", published November 19, 2013.
• Publication/Filing Date: Publication: November 19, 2013. The application leading to this patent (U.S. application Ser. No. 12/705,913) was filed February 15, 2010.
• Brief Description: This patent similarly describes a system and method for emulating and profiling an application playing on a mobile device. It focuses on loading device characteristics, emulating the device using a model, playing the application within the model, and monitoring resource utilization to determine application performance on the mobile device. It also details the integration of this emulation and profiling into an authoring environment.
• Potentially Anticipates Under 35 U.S.C. § 102: As a direct parent in the priority chain (US9298864 is a continuation of this patent's underlying application), US8589140 anticipates claims of US10691579 that are disclosed in US8589140. This would encompass claims related to emulating mobile devices, profiling application resource utilization, and integrating these features into a development workflow.

3. U.S. Patent No. 7,813,910

• Full Citation: US 7,813,910 B1, Poulin, D. P., "Method and system for authoring and visually profiling a frame-based application for a mobile device", published October 12, 2010.
• Publication/Filing Date: Publication: October 12, 2010. The application leading to this patent (U.S. application Ser. No. 11/449,958) was filed June 9, 2006.
• Brief Description: This patent describes a method for authoring and visually profiling a frame-based application for a mobile device. It involves receiving authoring instructions, playing the application within an emulation of the mobile device, determining resource utilization of the playing application, and evaluating this utilization against the device's characteristics. If resource issues are found, further authoring instructions are received to resolve them.
• Potentially Anticipates Under 35 U.S.C. § 102: As a direct ancestor (US8589140's underlying application is a continuation-in-part of this patent's underlying application), US7813910 anticipates claims of US10691579 that are supported by the disclosure of US7813910. This includes claims pertaining to the core concept of emulating a mobile device, profiling resource utilization of frame-based applications, and an iterative development process to address resource issues within an authoring environment.

The claims of US10691579 are expected to be fully disclosed in these antecedent patents within its priority chain, making them highly relevant for an anticipation analysis under 35 U.S.C. § 102.
