6What 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).
7Challenges 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

9Solution 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.
10High level architecture
Oracle EBS
Fully leveraging the existing infrastructure an
Oracle footprint prioritizing ease of
integration and maintenance, and scalability to
adapt to upgrades of existing Oracle versions
- iStore Self service Adopter registration via
iStore - Adopter on boarding Order automatically created
in the system and invoice sent to customer - 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 via
Teleservice - Ad-hoc reporting available since all the data is
available in the system
11Oracle 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
12iStore 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
13Royalty 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.
14Royalty 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
15Option3 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. Adopter would download a
file , enter new product models with their
specific quantities or just update shipment data
offline and upload the file back for review
before submission

17Product level breakdown
18Successful Implementation
- In January 2007, all capabilities were enabled
allowing full automation of the targeted business
flows. HDMI adopters are able to self-register,
submit adopter and royalty information, track
status of adopter membership and royalty
invoices. - The Oracle-based solution for HDMI fees and
royalties management sheds new light on how to
deliver great ideas and process improvements to
the users and customers in a profitable manner. - The envelope for managing the fees and royalties
associated with intellectual property and
standards has just been expanded. - Reduced Revenue Leakage
- The creative use of iStore and Service Contracts
as part of the HDMI solution leverages its
inherent strengths in a new market.
19Silicon Image Benefits Realized
- Number of adopters increased exponentially in
adoption since HDMI went live with iStore - Reduced Revenue Leakage
- Increased customer satisfaction due to
- ability to self register, request and track
membership and billing status - being informed of required actions and important
notifications - Reduced time to revenue for accelerated
royalties, and adopter billing processes - Reduced Manual data entry
- Reduced errors due to business rules embedded
into the new solution - Supported executives in making key strategic
decisions due to better business insights from
centralized data and new reporting capabilities
20Execution Matters
- The flexibility of the Oracle E-Business Suite
gives Silicon Image a world class solution that
eliminates manual processes and replaces them
with a web storefront to manage customer
relationships surrounding Intellectual Property
(IP). Entire relationships can now be managed
more effectively from the initial sale of IP to
annual renewals and royalty collections.
Additionally, the application solution will
provide business intelligence on tracking
performance throughout all stages of the
relationship. We feel these solutions gained a
advantage in ensuring world adoption of the HDMI
standard and lowered operational expenses while
increasing overall adoption service for our
customers. - Kenny Gilbert

23 Appendix
24Application Architecture
25How 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
26The 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.
