`
`_

`_
`_
`_
`and U.S. patent application serial number 1 , filed on even date herewith, and entitled
`
`/J.E.E/
`
`+/5/2015
`
`“Programmable Communicator” (attorney docket number 3781/1020).
`
`Background of the Invention
`
`The invention relates to a programmable wireless communications apparatus. More
`
`particularly, it relates to a pro grammable wireless communications apparatus, which can
`
`provide an improved means of communication between children and their parents, between
`
`elderly persons and caring relatives, and between mentally less-able individuals and
`
`supervising adults. In addition, the invention provides a solution for smart clothes
`
`applications, which may comprise a telecommunications means within the lining of a jacket
`
`or other article of clothing, as well as a solution for user-programmable data tags which
`
`convey information from remotely located devices such as vending machines. The invention
`
`relates to and significantly improves upon a previously filed patent application claiming
`
`Finnish priority of Sep. 9, 1997 entitled a Portable Hotlink Communicator published as
`
`international patent application PCT/GB98/02715.
`
`In this previously filed application, is taught the invention of using a mobile phone
`
`comprising a programmable identity module such as a SIM card, in the context of the GSM
`
`telecommunications standard, to program the number of any mobile or fixed telephone to
`
`which the Hotlink communicator, comprising a similar type of programmable identity
`
`module, is to be linked. Existing and known methods of communication between the mobile
`
`phone and Hotlink communicator for the purpose of programming comprise the obvious
`
`choice of data calls such as the Short Message Service in the GSM telecommunications
`
`standard. Alternatively a PDA type communicator might call up a web page to instruct a
`
`network element to program the pro grammable identity module of the Hotlink with the
`
`number of any fixed or mobile telephone to which the Hotlink communicator is to be linked.
`
`This use of a separate mobile phone to program the number to which the Hotlink may call is
`
`particularly 11SCfi1l and convenient should a parent wish to change the number if the parent
`
`must leave shortly and want that the Hotlink is connected immediately to the mobile phone

`
`Determination of Patent Term Adjustment under 35 U.S.C. 154 (b)
`
`(Applications filed on or after May 29, 2000)
`
`The Office has discontinued providing a Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) calculation with the Notice of Allowance.
`
`to eliminate the
`Section 1(h)(2) of the AIA Technical Corrections Act amended 35 U.S.C. 154(b)(3)(B)(i)
`requirement that the Office provide a patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. See
`Revisions to Patent Term Adjustment, 78 Fed. Reg. 19416, 19417 (Apr. 1, 2013). Therefore, the Office is no longer
`providing an initial patent term adjustment determination with the notice of allowance. The Office will continue to
`provide a patent term adjustment determination with the Issue Notification Letter that is mailed to applicant
`approximately three weeks prior to the issue date of the patent, and will include the patent term adjustment on the
`patent. Any request for reconsideration of the patent term adjustment determination (or reinstatement of patent term
`adjustment) should follow the process outlined in 37 CFR 1.705.
`
`Any questions regarding the Patent Term Extension or Adjustment determination should be directed to the Office of
`Patent Legal Administration at (571)-272-7702. Questions relating to issue and publication fee payments should be
`directed to the Customer Service Center of the Office of Patent Publication at 1—(888)—786—0101 or (571)-272-4200.

`
`OMB Clearance and PRA Burden Statement for PTOL-85 Part B
`
`The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of 1995 requires Federal agencies to obtain Office of Management and
`Budget approval before requesting most types of information from the public. When OMB approves an agency
`request to collect information from the public, OMB (i) provides a valid OMB Control Number and expiration
`date for the agency to display on the instrument that will be used to collect the information and (ii) requires the
`agency to inform the public about the OMB Control Number’s legal significance in accordance with 5 CFR
`1320.5(b).
`
`The information collected by PTOL-85 Part B is required by 37 CFR 1.311. The information is required to obtain
`or retain a benefit by the public which is to file (and by the USPTO to process) an application. Confidentiality is
`governed by 35 U.S.C. 122 and 37 CFR 1.14. This collection is estimated to take 12 minutes to complete,
`including gathering, preparing, and submitting the completed application form to the USPTO. Time will vary
`depending upon the individual case. Any comments on the amount of time you require to complete this form
`and/or suggestions for reducing this burden, should be sent to the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Patent and
`Trademark Office, U.S. Department of Commerce, P.O. Box 1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. DO NOT
`SEND FEES OR COMPLETED FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS. SEND TO: Commissioner for Patents, P.O. Box
`1450, Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1450. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to
`respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number.
`
`Privacy Act Statement

`The Privacy Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-579) requires that you be given certain information in connection witl1 your
`submission of the attached form related to a patent application
