Science Fiction films are not truly considered prior "art" by definition in patent law. Just because H.G. Wells wrote the Time Machine, and Arthur C. Clarke described communications satellites, and Robert Heinlein described the Water Bed, does not mean they invented them. . . because they did not actually show HOW they could be accomplished. Actually, George O. Smith predated Arthur C. Clarke's communication's Satellite in the 1940s in "Venus Equilateral". . . but he also did not show how to get them up there. Invention is NOT about being the first to come up with an idea and in fact ideas are really not patentable. Means to accomplish ideas are. . . and what they will do and how they will be used in reference to actual devices.
Samsung found this out when they tried to show that "2001: a Space Odyssey" showed something that looked like an iPad in a couple of scenes. . . but that "art" was not "prior art" to anyone in the field that produced the iPad in 2010 because it could NOT be duplicated by anyone IN the field. What was shown in "2001: a Space Odyssey" required almost a room full of technology below the display screens that were actually part of the desk to accomplish the FX in the film.
In other words, Science Fiction merely saying "what if someone can do this" in fiction is not the same as actually filing a patent that shows how to do it.
Yes. First official claim and documentation supplants all prior ideas.. Great. Wildly innovative of them, huh? The bottom line is that a lot these of these “ideas” are no older than 2010. You can search and explain all you want, but you can’t put enough lipstick or perfume on the reality of what this shows. I have lots of Apple stuff. But I know what this is.
