We agree with Appellant that the claim language requiring programs that enable a processor to carry out specific functions defines structural limitations, and is not merely a recitation of intended use. See Ultramercial,Inc. v. Hulu, LLC, 722 F.3d 1335, 1348 (Fed. Cir. 2013) (“[P]rogramming creates a new machine, because a general purpose computer in effect becomes a special purpose computer once it is programmed to perform particular functions pursuant to instructions from program software.”) (quoting In re Alappat, 33 F.3d 1526, 1544 (Fed. Cir. 1994)).
