  6. What is HDMI? • Developed by Sony, Hitachi, Thomson (RCA), Philips, Matsushita (Panasonic), Toshiba and Silicon Image, the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) has emerged as the connection standard for HDTV and the consumer electronics market. • HDMI is the first and only digital interface to combine uncompressed high-definition video, multi-channel audio and intelligent format and command data in a single digital interface. • HDMI is the de facto standard digital interface for HD and the consumer electronics market: More than 700 companies have become adopters, and more than 100 million devices featuring HDMI are expected to ship in 2007 (conservative estimate by In-Stat).

  7. Challenges for IP Management of HDMI • Adopter registration: offline process; fill form / fax ( no self service) • Adopters send (Model#, Qty) information to SI • Royalty submission was manually repeated every qtr. • Inconsistent information • Contacts in adopters change, manual overhead to ensure receipt of information every quarter • Manual Quarterly process driven from XL data received via emails • Royalty / yearly calculations performed manually • Non Scalable infrastructure • Manual order and invoice creation • All communication via phone/emails • The entire process is labor intensive and error prone • Unable to identify revenue leakage in terms of failure to receive royalties from Customers • Manual invoicing to Adopters • Issue resolution challenges • No self service capability 1 Hundreds of Adopters 1 Adopter 2 Adopter 2 Invoice Adopter 3 Adopter … Calculating, tracking, invoicing and receiving annual fee and royalty payments The Mission “Automate, scale and focus on compliance” 3

  8. Solution: Self service Adopter registration Adopters upload/enter shipped models/qty online via royalties manager Adopters maintain the Company information, contacts, secondary users online. Adopter on boarding Order automatically created in the system and invoice sent to customer Royalty information available to the admin in the system Royalty / yearly calculations automated SI Royalty admin has the capability to accept/reject data Install base tracking & Contract Management capability Various automated notifications sent to the adopter during the process Automated royalty invoicing to Adopters Non-compliance and Issue resolution Available 1 Hundreds of Adopters Oracle EBS Royalties Manager 2 2 Sony 1 Royalties Admin Mitsubishi Smart Home Global Tech 3 Registering to be an Adopter, entering / uploading royalty data Invoicing and receiving annual fee and administering, accepting, rejecting royalty payments 3

  9. Solution Design: Oracle EBS • After toying with the idea of a custom application, Silicon Image teamed up with Oracle to generate ideas on how its applications could be leveraged to address this business issue. • After coming up with the initial idea for iStore and Service Contracts as a solution, Trianz – a preferred Oracle Integration Partner – was brought in to expound on and round out the solution. • Added to the solution set were TeleService for compliance and Install Base for royalties.

  11. Web UI - Hybrid Oracle iStore Royalties Management System ( iStore Extension) Oracle iStore Oracle iStore is the e-commerce application that provides a personalized, low-cost Internet sales channel. iStore is a key component of the Oracle Customer Relationship Management solution, the integrated suite that drives profitable customer interactions. • iStore can deliver a branded and personalized customer experience for different customer segments with varying requirements and preferences • Oracle iStore supports a global product catalog and infrastructure, allowing for the launch and maintenance of an international online presence • Oracle iStore allows for a single administration application for multiple storefronts and has been designed for efficient maintenance by a business or marketing user • Adding branded content and style to an enterprise specific e-commerce tool can be accomplished utilizing iStore OOB functionality • Branding and user experience need to be closely tied to the requirements gathering phase of an implementation

  12. Web UI - Hybrid Oracle iStore Royalties Management System ( iStore Extension) iStore Capabilities Utilized Oracle iStore automated Adopter on boarding and provided customers with a self service tool and account management functionality • A branded personalized solution for customers to self-register • Online request for Adopter membership and membership Renewal • Adopters maintain the Company information, contacts, secondary users online • Adopters can download specifications documents and other reference material only available to registered adopters • A scalable solution which was later extended for Chinese customers • Online membership status tracking

  13. Web UI - Hybrid Oracle iStore Royalties Management System ( iStore Extension) Royalty Management Automated royalty processing , centralized storage of royalty data and automated generation of consolidated invoice for royalty payments were built leveraging Oracle e-Business suite (iStore, Service Contracts , Inventory , Install Base, Pricing and Receivables) • Royalties are payable quarterly on HDMI Licensed Products. Royalty payment are calculated on units shipped per quarter as reported by customers. • Adopters would log into Web Store and access the HDMI extranet to enter royalty shipment data using various options available and submit the royalties for review. • HDMI Admin reviews the royalties entered and accepts or rejects the data • Once the data is accepted a service contract gets automatically created and specific product models gets created as ‘usage’ lines on the contract and the shipment information gets captured by the usage counters. • Billing is scheduled to run on a quarterly basis and a consolidated invoice for royalty payment is sent to customer every quarter per standard receivables collection process.

  14. Web UI - Hybrid Oracle iStore Royalties Management System ( iStore Extension) Royalty Management - Multiple Options to enter Royalty Data Automated royalty processing , centralized storage of royalty data and automated generation of consolidated invoice for royalty payments were built leveraging Oracle e-Business suite (iStore, Service Contracts , Inventory , Install Base, Pricing and Receivables) • Option1 : Quick Online Model Entry • Using this option Adopters can add “new” models one at a time • Option2 : Quick Online Shipment Entry • Using this option Adopters quickly update the shipment quantities for models and save/submit shipment for approval by Admin . • Adopters can also review the amount due for each model that they enter • Option3 : Offline Mass addition of new Models and Quantities

  15. Web UI - Hybrid Oracle iStore Royalties Management System ( iStore Extension) Option3 : Offline Mass addition of new Models and Quantities Using this option Adopters can add large number of “new” product models as well as update large number of shipment data.

  24. Application Architecture

  25. How Do You Manage All of This? Combine this with the Challenge • Short Answer • …A great deal of manual effort by the licensing company (HDMI LLC) with assistance from its parent (Silicon Image), the other HDMI Founders, and the HDMI adopters. • HDMI is one of the most successful consumer electronics standards in existence. And with the rapid current and anticipated growth of the standard, it was clear that a more robust, scalable solution was needed. • The Whole Story • The process was manual and data storage was spread across multiple desktops in across Microsoft Excel spreadsheets and Access databases. Fortunately, the process was managed by a few highly skilled and knowledgeable individuals who were able to keep it on track. But this was obviously not scalable. • Being a communication intensive process without automation, information exchange was handled mainly through phone calls and emails. Verification and authentication required searching through various data sources and additional phone calls. As with other manual processes, audit of the process and data was difficult. • Looking forward, HDMI LLC wanted to strengthen its processes for royalty tracking and receipt. As adoption of HDMI increases dramatically in the future, the enabling infrastructure needed to scale and allow for identification of any revenue leakage in terms of failure to receive royalties from Customers. • Customer Support was also made difficult by the lack of centralized data. • The Mission – Automate, scale and focus on compliance • Key business outcomes anticipated: • Process scalability. Enable effective fee and royalty management as the install base of HDMI products sky-rockets – HDMI products numbered just short of 20 million in 2006 and are expected to grow to over 100 million in 2007. • Auto creation of Customer, Contacts, Order, Invoice (all manual previously) • Annual Fee tracking and auto-creation of Annual Fee Invoice (instead of creating a new order) • Dramatically improved reporting • Service for compliance

  26. The Solution • Unique HDMI Business Approach Drives Simplicity in Operations The business approach chosen by HDMI LLC differs significantly from traditional approaches to licensing and royalty management often referred to as Intellectual Property Management. Because HDMI LLC uses a normalized adoption and royalty approach to its adopters, it is able to more effectively streamline the process using off the shelf software with minimal customizations versus going the route of a specialized Royalty or IPM solution.   In addition, the concept of “self-service” adoption (similar to licensing; see note below*) and royalty management is unique in and of itself. Even the most sophisticated purpose-built solutions in this space do not offer the Licensee (or Adopter) the ability to manage their agreements and report on shipped items for royalty payments. This unique business model and enabling solution approach has applicability to other consortium or standards bodies seeking to enable rapid adoption of a standard or specifications and improve the tracking and timeliness of payments. • Business Flows to be Enabled • The following HDMI processes were identified as part of the solution: • HDMI User Registration • HDMI Adopter Membership • HDMI Royalties Quarterly Billing • HDMI Adopter Annual Billing • Non Compliance Issue Resolution • Revenue Recognition Reporting • Key Performance Indicators for HDMI • At the outset of Solution Design, each HDMI process flow to be enabled was related to one standard Oracle flow. The standard flows represent common practices for enabling business processes on ERP and CRM application platforms. The objective was to identify the most relevant standard flows to use as starting points for HDMI process enablement. This approach limits customization (always good), results in better application performance and efficiency when deployed.
