`Remarks
`
`The present Response is to the Office Action mailed 10/17/2008, made final.
`
`Claims 1-8, 10-14, 16-20 and 22-24 are presented for examination.
`
`Rejections - 35 USC § 102
`
`Claims 1-8, 10-14, 16-20, and 22-24 maintain rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(e) as being
`
`anticipated by Kumar et al. (US 6859212, filed 04/06/2001).
`
`As to claim 1:
`
`Kumar teaches a system tangibly embodied on a computer-readable medium for
`
`categorizing transactions [see the Abstract and col. 5, lines 17- 48: itemized transaction],
`
`comprising:
`
`- a collection function gathering information concerning transactions, including at
`
`least date, description and amount of the transactions, for a particular person or
`
`enterprise [See Col. 14, lines 41-37; Col. 15, lines I-60: Agent 39 may be
`
`programmed to perform certain tasks such as obtaining account information,
`
`executing simple transactions, returning user—requested notification information
`
`about upcoming events]; and
`
`° a processing function categorizing individual ones of the collected transactions
`
`according to at least part of the transaction description [See the Abstract: a
`
`transaction module having a summary interface is provided as part of a software
`
`suite for enabling viewing and manipulation ofmultiple categories ofaggregated
`
`data compiledfrom a plurality of data sources and accessible through a single
`
`interfacing node operated on a data—packet—network. The transaction module
`
`comprises, an interactive main interface accessible through the summary
`
`interface, the main interface for listing new transactions related to registered
`
`financial accounts
`
`assigning categories to the listed transactions & Col. 38,
`
`line 18 - Col.39, line 17: These default categories are intelligent, in that
`
`

`
`-7-
`
`transactions are automatically categorized with an appropriate category as they
`
`occur and are entered under the appropriate category based on a user's prior
`
`categorization scheme When new transactions occur, they are automatically
`
`categorized according to user preference];
`
`wherein the collection function automatically retrieves the information concerning
`
`transactions from third-party Internet-connected web sites adapted to provide account
`
`information to the particular person or enterprise [See col. 6, lines 34-50; Col. 11, line 36-
`
`Col. 12, line l9; Col. 13, line 22- Col. 14, line 8; Col. 18, line 52- Col. 20, line 19: the
`
`interactive transaction—viewing interface is a personalize hyper—text markup language
`
`interface
`
`the remote node is a cellular phone
`
`a hand—held computer the
`
`categorical criteria for viewing transaction include account, timeframe, and by category
`
`includingfood and beverage, utilities, home, auto, charitable contribution, and
`
`entertainment is presentedfor ordering a graphic chart according to the selected
`
`criteria] .
`
`As to claim 2:
`
`Kumar teaches a compilation function summarizing transactions in individual categories
`
`[See the Abstract and Col. 1, lines 26-35: an interactive softwarefunctionality enabling
`
`management and transactional control including categorized viewing ofpersonal
`
`transaction data including account data maintained on behalfofusers by an entity
`
`providing data compilation, aggregation, and summary services].
`
`As to claim 3:
`
`Kumar teaches a reporting function reporting the summarizing transactions to the
`
`particular person or enterprise [See Col. ll, line 63 - Col. 12, line 20.‘ knowledge of
`
`specific WEB pages, and certain types of WEB pages, is highly desirable. In many
`
`embodiments characteristics ofdestination WEB pages are researched by persons
`
`facilitators) maintaining and enhancing Password—All Portal software 35, and many
`
`

`
`-8-
`
`characteristics may be provided in configuration modules for users to accomplish
`
`specific tasks
`
`task results including reports, and hard documents such as airline tickets
`
`may be sent over the Internet or other data packet—networks to user—defined destinations
`
`such as fax machines, connected computer nodes, e—mail servers, and other Internet-
`
`connected appliances].
`
`As to claim 4:
`
`Kumar teaches categorization is done according to category definitions entered by the
`
`particular person or on behalf of the enterprise [See Col. 15, lines 12-59: enable directive
`
`inputfrom both a client (user) and a knowledge worker or workers associated with the
`
`service
`
`a unique input scripting module 79 that is adapted to allow a human knowledge
`
`worker to create and supply directive scripts containing the site logic needed by gatherer
`
`67 to find and retrieve data from a WEB site].
`
`As to claim S:
`
`Kumar teaches categorization is done for a first plurality of persons or enterprises
`
`subscribing to the system according to category definition entered by a second plurality
`
`of persons or enterprises subscribing to the system [See Col. 20, lines 7-64: particular
`
`site associated with the request URLs
`
`then all site logics for those URLs are accessed
`
`retrieved at a schedule timefor performing the summary gathering].
`
`As to claim 6:
`
`Kumar teaches categories are developed from information taken from communication
`
`between clients and the system [See the Abstract; Col. 6, lines 22-50; and Col. 8, line 56-
`
`col.9, line 30.‘ a summary interface for enabling viewing and manipulation ofmultiple
`
`categories ofaggregated data
`
`a remote node having access to the data—packet
`
`network].
`
`As to claim 7:
`
`

`
`-9-
`
`Kumar teaches a probability algorithm is used in developing categories [See Col. 3, lines
`
`23- 44: a plurality ofreport algorithms matches the request to an individual one of the
`
`report algorithms. The data—gathering subsystem accesses plural Internet sites associated
`
`with the user and extracts raw data therefrom according to needs of the report algorithm.
`
`The report processor processes the raw data according to the report algorithm into meta-
`
`summarized information defined by the report algorithm, and the portal system transmits
`
`the meta—summarized information as a report to a destination associated with the report
`
`request].
`
`As to claim 8:
`
`Kumar teaches identifiers for categories are periodically amended according to further
`
`information that is collected and processed [See Col. 20, lines 31- col. 2], line 25:
`
`specified URLs for the purpose of gathering summary data].
`
`As to claim 10:
`
`Kumar teaches the system reports to clients through the Internet network [See Col. l4,
`
`lines 22- 57: Internet servers 23, 25, and 27 represent servers
`
`return certain summary
`
`information contained on user—subscribed WEB pages, such as account summaries, order
`
`tracking information and certain other information according to user—defined
`
`parameters].
`
`As to claim 11:
`
`Kumar teaches function storing past transaction history associated with the particular
`
`person or enterprise [See Col. 5, line 7 - col. 6, line 14: categorical viewing of transaction
`
`history
`
`by a specific account, a specified timefiame, and by a selected category.
`
`Additionally, the options are selectable for ordering combinations of criteria for
`
`producing a transaction view, wherein the transaction view comprises an ordered history
`
`view].
`
`

`
`As to claim 12:
`
`-10-
`
`Kumar teaches past transaction history is used to predict future transaction statistical
`
`information [See Col. 5, line 17 - Col. 6, line 21: history view].
`
`As to claim 13:
`
`Refer to the discussion of claim 1 above for rejection. Additionally, Kumar teaches
`
`automatically navigating to third-party Internet-connected web site [See Col. 2, lines 38-
`
`53; Col. ll, lines 12- 34; Col. 13, lines 22- Col. 14, line 40.‘ provide an automatic and
`
`transparent login function for the subscriber while jumping the subscriber to subject
`
`destination].
`
`As to claims 14, 16, 18,-20 and 22-24:
`
`Refer to the discussion of claims 2, 4, 6-8, and l0 -12 above, respectively, for rejections.
`
`As to claim 17:
`
`Kumar teaches categorization is done for a first plurality of person or enterprises to
`
`category definition entered by a second plurality of person or enterprises [See Col. 15,
`
`lines l2-59: enable directive inputfrom both a client (user) and a knowledge worker or
`
`workers associated with the service
`
`a unique input scripting module 79 that is adapted
`
`to allow a human knowledge worker to create and supply directive scripts containing the
`
`site logic needed by gatherer 67 to find and retrieve data firom a WEB site].
`
`Applicant’s response:
`
`Applicant herein amends the claims to more particularly point out the patentable
`
`subject matter of applicant’s invention not taught or suggested in the art of Kumar.
`
`Applicant’s independent claims, as amended, now recite an input function enabling a
`
`client to provide to the system a request for a summary of transactions over a specific
`
`range of dates, according to a definition of purpose of transaction; a processing function
`
`parsing the collected transaction descriptions for purpose, using pre-stored description
`
`

`
`-11-
`
`characteristics associated with purpose, and summarizing those transactions that meet the
`
`purpose and fall into the date range, and a reporting function for providing the
`
`summarized transactions to the specific person or enterprise
`
`Applicant argues that Kumar fails to teach or suggest summarizing transaction
`
`according to a definition of purpose as requested by a client. The art of Kumar also fails
`
`to teach or suggest pre-stored description characteristics associated with purpose. As
`
`admitted by the Examiner in the Response to Arguments portion of the present Office
`
`Action, Kumar teaches that a person or enterprise may manually categorize new
`
`transactions, then the system may recognize same transactions received in the future and
`
`categorize them automatically under the same category initially specified by the person or
`
`enterprise (Col. 38, line 18 - Col.39, line 17). The system of Kumar teaches that the
`
`recognition is performed by matching a description of the new, manually categorized
`
`description with future incoming transactions.
`
`Applicant provides a unique system with an ability to grow and improve the
`
`network summarization and reporting system. In one embodiment of applicant’s
`
`invention, a client may want to receive a summarized report for transactions for "eating
`
`out", for example, over a specific date range. These transactions will not all be for one
`
`enterprise, as in Kumar, but may cover a variety of restaurants. The client might profile a
`
`list of his usual haunts, but that might not be adequate for an efficient accomplishment of
`
`such a service, because the client may well visit new establishments that are not on the
`
`profiled list. In this case, and especially because the hosting enterprise may have a large
`
`number of clients to whom the system provides this service, other abilities are needed to
`
`make appropriate determinations.
`
`Beyond the simple case of a client providing the exact listing in "description"
`
`from account information that can be searched, the client of applicant’s invention may
`
`want summarization for "travel-related" expenditures. The host, in an embodiment, may
`
`compile, by a variety of methods, a robust set of identifiers to find travel-related
`
`expenditures for clients, and the identifiers need not be specific to any one client or small
`
`set of clients. For example, the host system, which relies on a software suite to
`
`

`
`-12-
`
`accomplish the regular scraping of information and the normalization, summarization and
`
`presentation of the information to clients, might develop a set of identifiers including
`
`terms and phrases like, "gas", "Chevron", "station" "oil", "lube service" and many more
`
`for the purpose as specified in the client’s request. If it is understood that the intent is
`
`broadly for travel-related expenditures, the system might include terms that can test and
`
`trap expenditures for airline tickets, meals far fiom home related to travel, and other such
`
`travel-related information.
`
`Applicant argues the art of Kumar is void of any teaching beyond a client
`
`specifying categories and descriptors for categorization and viewing a history of
`
`transactions. Column 40, lines 6-19 of Kumar provide a limiting teaching of a timeframe
`
`menu 327 enabling a user to select a history time period in graduated increments of YTD
`
`(Year to Date), this month, last 3 months, last 6 months, last 12 months, and all history.
`
`Furthermore, a user may, through pre-configuration, create specific and personalized
`
`timeframes for viewing transactional history.
`
`Applicant provides a system which is capable of summarizing and reporting
`
`transactions according to a date range and purpose specified by a client. In applicant’s
`
`system, the software actually defines descriptors which match a client specified purpose
`
`enabling valuable reports for a user or enterprise. This ability was not known in the art at
`
`the time of filing the present invention.
`
`Applicant’s claims as amended, provide a service which far surpasses the
`
`teachings of Kumar, as intentionally prepared and filed by the common assignee of the
`
`present invention and the art of Kumar. Therefore, claims 1 and 13, as amended, are
`
`easily patentable over the art of Kumar. Claims 3-4 and 15-16 are herein canceled.
`
`Claims 2, 5-8, 10-12, 14, 17-20, and 22-24 are patentable on their own merits, or at least
`
`as depended from a patentable claim.

`
`Summary
`
`As all of the claims, as amended and argued above, have been shown to be
`
`patentable over the art presented by the Examiner, applicant respectfully requests
`
`reconsideration and the case be passed quickly to issue.
`
`If any fees are due beyond fees paid with this amendment, authorization is made
`
`to deduct those fees from deposit account 50-0534. If any time extension is needed
`
`beyond any extension requested with this amendment, such extension is hereby
`
`requested.
