`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`A patent to Teller was issued on August 12, 2003. Teller describes a system for
`
`detecting, monitoring and reporting physiological information and recites claims for a system
`
`that detects, monitors and reports human physiological information. The independent claim
`
`recites a system that has a sensor device with at least two sensors that include an accelerometer,
`
`galvanic skin response (“GSR”) sensor and a heat flux sensor. The system also includes a
`
`central monitoring unit, a data transfer means and a means for transmitting data generated by the
`
`sensor device.
`
`The sensor device is adapted to generate (i) data indicative of at least two of motion, the
`
`resistance of the individual's skin to electric current, and heat flow of the individual and (ii)
`
`derived data from at least a portion of said data indicative of at least two of motion, resistance of
`
`said individual's skin to electric current and heat flow. The derived data is a physiological
`
`parameter of the individual that cannot be measured directly by any one of the sensors.
`
`The central monitoring unit is remote from the sensor device. It is adapted for the
`
`generation of analytical status data from at least a portion of at least one of: (i) the data
`
`indicative of at least two of motion, resistance of said in individual's skin to electric current and
`
`heat flow, (ii) the derived data and (iii) the analytical status data. The central monitoring unit
`
`also includes a data storage device that stores at least one of: (i) the data indicative of at least two
`
`of motion, resistance of the individual's skin to electric current and heat flow (ii) the derived data
`
`and (iii) the analytical status data.

`(2s043—2 I 094)

`
`

`
`The data transfer means establishes temporary electronic communication between the
`
`sensor device and the central monitoring unit. The means for transmitting transmits: (i) the data
`
`indicative of at least two of motion, resistance of the individual's skin to electric current and heat
`
`flow, (ii) the derived data and (iii) the analytical status data to a recipient. (See, e. g., Teller,
`
`claim 1).
`
`The core of what Teller claims corresponds to a system having a sensor device with at
`
`least two sensors that collect physiological data, a central monitoring unit that generates derived
`
`data using the collected data and temporarily stores it, some transfer means to transfer data
`
`between the sensor device and the central monitoring unit, and some transmitting means to
`
`transmit data. Devices with these feature existed well before June, 16, 2000, which is the earliest
`
`possible priority date Teller could claim. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,670,944 to Myllymaki
`
`et al. (“Myllyméiki”), which was filed on September, 13, 1994 (with a §l02(c) date of March 8,
`
`1996) and issued on September 23, 1997, described a device to measure human physiological
`
`information. In particular, Myllymaki described a sensor device having an accelerometer and a
`
`GSR sensor which generates data indicative of motion and resistance of the wearer’s skin to
`
`electric current. The device of Myllymaki further generates derived data in the form of a
`
`description of the health or physical condition and/or performance condition of the user.
`
`Additionally, U.S. Patent No. 6,013,007 to Root et al. (“Root”), which was filed March
`
`26, 1998 and issued on January 11, 2000, described a global positioning system (“GPS”) based
`
`personal athletic performance monitor which determines athletic performance data based on GPS
`
`data. Thus Root also described a device that monitors physiological information. The device
`

`(2s043—2 I 094)
`
`10 of 1568
`
`

`
`described by Root includes a data transfer means and transmits data to a remote computing
`
`system.
`
`Although Myllymaki was before the Examiner during prosecution of the Teller
`
`application, Root was not before the Examiner. Therefore, as further described herein, had the
`
`combination of Myllymaki and Root been before the Examiner, it would have rendered obvious
`
`certain claims of Teller. Similarly, Mault and Pottgen disclose additional features that in
`
`combination with Myllymaki and Root render obvious certain claims of Teller. Pottgcn was
`
`provided to the Examiner but not cited during prosecution. Accordingly, there is a reasonable
`
`likelihood. that Requester will mevaiii Va/'iLl'11"€:5}3f3(.?ET‘i.O at least one offiirie claims <.?l'3?1l lenged in this
`
`Request.

`II.
`
`REQUEST REQUIREMENTS UNDER 37 C.F.R. § 1.915(A) (“REQUEST”)
`
`Requester respectfully requests reexamination of claims 1, 2, 14, 15, 19-22, 24-28, 30-35
`
`and 38-46 of Teller on the basis of the prior art as set forth herein. Each reference relied upon in
`
`this Request is noted in Section III.B below.

`
`2003 to Eric Teller, et al., in View a reasonable likelihood Requester will prevail with respect to
`
`at least one of claims challenged in this Request.
`
`B.
`
`§ 1.915gBgg2) — A Citation of the Patents and Printed Publications Which Are
`Presented to Provide a Substantial New Question of Patentability
`
`The following patents (collectively, the “Prior Art”) provide the basis on which there is a
`
`reasonable likclihood Rcqucstcr will prevail with rcspcct to at lcast onc of claims of Tcllcr
`
`challenged in this Request. At least one of these references was not cited during the prosecution
`
`of Teller.
`
`1) U.S. Patent No. 5,670,944, filcd September 13, 1994 and issued on September 23,
`
`1997, to Matti Myllyméiki (“Myllymé'1ki”). Myllyméiki is prior art under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§102(b). This reexamination request applies Myllymaki as an obviousness
`
`combination with Root and with Root and Mault under 35 U.S.C. §103(a).
`
`U.S. Patent No. 6,013,007, filed March 26, 1998 and issued on January 11, 2000, to
`
`Gary Miller Root and Frank van Hoorn (“Root”). Root is prior art under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§102(e). This reexamination request applies Root as an obviousness combination
`
`with Myllymaki and with Myllymaki and Mault under 35 U.S.C. §103(a).
`
`U.S. Patent No. 6,478,736, filed October 10, 2000 (which is based on 13 provisional
`
`applications filed between October 8, 1999 and August 29, 2000) and issued on
`
`November 12, 2002, to Mault (“Mault”). Mault is prior art under 35 U.S.C. §102(e).
`
`This reexamination request applies Mault as an obviousness combination with
`
`Myllymaki and Root under 35 U.S.C. §103(a).

`
`4) U.S. Patent No. 5,524,618, filed June 2, 1993 and issued on June 11, 1996 to Paul A.
`
`Pottgen and Neil J. Szuminsky (“Pottgen”). Pottgen is prior art under 35 U.S.C.
`
`§102(a). This reexamination request applies Pottgen as an obviousness combination
`
`with Myllyméiki and Root under 35 U.S.C. §103(a).
`
`U.S. Patent No. 5,142,485, filed July 16, 1990 and issued on August 25, 1992 to
`
`Jehuda Rosenberg and Patrick Bar-Avi (“Rosenberg”). Rosenberg is prior art under
`
`U.S.C. §102(b). This rccxamination rcqucst applics Roscnbcrg as an abviousncss
`
`combination with Myllymaki and Root under 35 U.S.C. §l03(a).
`
`§ 1.915gB)g31 — Statement Pointing Out That Reguester Will Prevail with
`Respect To At Least One Claim Challenged in the Reguest Based on the Cited
`Patents and Printed Publications, and a Detailed Explanation of the Pertinency
`and Manner of Applying the Patents and Printed Publications to Everv Claim
`for Which Reexamination is Reguested
`
`In view of the Prior Art listed in the section above, this Request sets forth a substantial
`
`likelihood that Requester will prevail on at least one claim with regard to the patentability of
`
`claims 1, 2, 14, 15, 19-22, 24-28, 30-35 and 38-46 of Teller. As noted previously, the claimed
`
`invention in Teller is for a system for detecting, monitoring and reporting physiological
`
`information.
`
`During examination the claimed invention was distinguished from the cited prior art by
`
`claiming as part of the system, a device that derives data from at least two physiological data
`
`points corresponding to motion, skin resistance to electric current, and heat flow of an
`
`individual, which are measured by at least two corresponding sensors. The derived data cannot
`
`be wholly measured by any one ofan accelerometer, a GSR sensor and a heat tlux sensor.

`(2s043—2 I 094)
`
`13 of 1568
`
`

`
`However, before the priority date of Teller, at least two prior art references, Myllymaki and
`
`Root, disclosed these features. These references render obvious the challenged eiaims ofTe1ler
`
`and provide the grounds on which Requester will prevail on at least one, if not all, the challenged
`
`claims.
`
`1. Summary of Teller
`
`As noted above, Teller describes a
