`

`

`CLAIM AMENDMENTS:
`
`Claims 1 - 24. (canceled).
`
`25.
`
`(currently amended)
`
`A system for
`
`remotely entering location
`
`information into a positional information device, the system comprising:
`
`a server configured to receive a request for an address of at least one
`
`location not already stored in the positional information device, to determine the address
`
`of the least one location and to transmit the determined address to the positional
`
`information device;
`
`wherein the reguest
`
`is received from a remote computer with a first
`
`identifier and the server being configured to determine a second identifier for identifying
`
`the positional information device based on the received first identifier;
`
`the positional information device including
`
`a locational information module for determining location information of the
`
`positional information device;
`
`a communication module for receiving the determined address of the at
`
`least one location from the server;
`
`a processing module configured to receive the determined address from
`
`the communication module and determine route guidance based on the location of the
`
`positional information device and the determined address; and
`
`a display module for displaying the route guidance; and
`
`a communications network for coupling the positional
`
`information device to the
`
`server.

`
`

`

`Claims 26 and 27 (canceled)
`
`28.
`
`(original) The system as in claim 25, wherein the communications
`
`network is a te|ematics network.
`
`Claims 29 — 31 (canceled).
`
`32.
`
`(currently amended) The system as in claim 342_5, wherein the first
`
`identifier is an Internet cookie.
`
`Claim 33 (canceled).
`
`34.
`
`(currently amended) The system as in claim 33%, wherein the
`
`second identifier of the positional information device is a mobile phone number or an IP
`
`address.
`
`Claim 35 (canceled).
`
`36.
`
`(previously presented) The system as in claim 25, wherein the
`
`server retrieves the address from a database residing on the server.
`
`Claim 37 (canceled).
`
`38.
`
`(previously presented) The system as in claim 25, wherein the
`
`server resolves the address of the at least one location into latitude and longitude
`
`coordinates.
`
`39.
`
`(original) The system as in claim 38, wherein the address is
`
`determined by information associated to the address.
`
`40.
`
`(original) The system as in claim 39, wherein the associated
`
`information is a name of a person residing at the address, a cross street of the address,
`
`a zip code of the address, a phone number of the address or an alternative spelling of
`
`the address.
`
`3
`
`

`

`41.
`
`(original)
`
`The system as in claim 25, wherein the server is
`
`operated by a live operator and the request for the at least one location is received by
`
`voice communications.
`
`42.
`
`(previously presented) The system as in claim 25, wherein the
`
`server is further configured to transmit an appropriate map related to the determined
`
`address to the positional information device.
`
`43.
`
`(previously presented) The system as in claim 25, wherein if the
`
`processing module of
`
`the positional
`
`information device determines that a map
`
`corresponding to the determined address is not available, the communication module
`
`transmits a second request for an appropriate map associated to the determined
`
`address.
`
`44.
`
`(previously presented) The system as in claim 43, wherein the
`
`server is further configured to transmit an appropriate map related to the determined
`
`address to the positional information device.
`
`45.
`
`(new) A system for remotely entering location information into a
`
`positional information device, the system comprising:
`
`a server configured to receive a request for an address of at least one
`
`location not already stored in the positional information device, to determine the address
`
`of the least one location and to transmit the determined address to the positional
`
`information device;
`
`the positional information device including
`
`a locational information module for determining location information of the
`
`positional information device;
`
`4
`
`

`

`a communication module for receiving the determined address of the at
`
`least one location from the server;
`
`a processing module configured to receive the determined address from
`
`the communication module and determine route guidance based on the location of the
`
`positional information device and the determined address; and
`
`a display module for displaying the route guidance; and
`
`a communications network for coupling the positional information device to
`
`the server,
`
`wherein the server receives a time and date associated with the requested
`
`at least one location and transmits the associated time and date with the determined
`
`address to the positional
`
`information device and the positional
`
`information device
`
`displays the determined address at the associated time and date.
`
`46.
`
`(new) The system as in claim 45, wherein the communications
`
`network is a telematics network.
`
`47.
`
`(new) The system as in claim 45, wherein the server is operated by
`
`a live operator and the request for the at
`
`least one location is received by voice
`
`communications.
`
`48.
`
`(new) The system as in claim 45, wherein the server is further
`
`configured to transmit an appropriate map related to the determined address to the
`
`positional information device.
`
`49.
`
`(new) The system as in claim 45, wherein if the processing module
`
`of the positional
`
`information device determines that a map corresponding to the
`
`5
`
`

`

`determined address is not available, the communication module transmits a second
`
`request for an appropriate map associated to the determined address.
`
`50.
`
`(new) The system as in claim 49, wherein the server is further
`
`configured to transmit an appropriate map related to the determined address to the
`

`

`REMARKS
`
`Reconsideration of this application, as amended, is requested. Claims 25, 28,
`
`32, 34, 36 and 38-44 remain in the application. Claims 25, 32 and 34 have been amended.
`
`Claims 26-27, 29-31, 33 and 35 have been canceled. New claims 45-50 have been added.
`
`It is gratefully acknowledged that the Examiner has indicated claims 32, 33 and
`
`35 were objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if
`
`written in independent form including all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening
`
`claims.
`
`Claim 25 was amended to include the limitations of claim 33 and intervening
`
`claims 30 and 31. Therefore, it is respectfully submitted that amended claim 25 is in condition
`
`for allowance, along with claims depending therefrom.
`
`New claim 45 includes the limitations of claims 25 and 35 and therefore is in
`
`condition for allowance. New claims 46—50 are identical to previously presented claims 28 and
`
`41-44. Therefore, it is respectfully submitted no new matter has been added to the application.
`
`In view of the preceding amendment and remarks, it is submitted that the claims
`
`remaining in the application are directed to patentable subject matter, and allowance is
`
`solicited. The Examiner is urged to contact applicant's attorney at the number below if the
`
`Examiner believes a telephone or personal interview would facilitate the prosecution of this
`
`application.
