`
`Continuation of Substance of Interview including description of the general nature of what was discussed: The
`attorney assisted the examiners in gaining a better understanding of the novelty for the instant claimed invention by
`providing a real world example; such as a digital camera (i.e. ADGPD) having a unidirectional sensor for taking
`pictures, wherein upon the connection of the digital camera to a computer, an automatic configuring by automatic
`selecting a corresponding driver to establish communication between the digital camera and the computer would be
`implemented without any loading of the driver; in summary, the novelty of the instant invention is the automatic
`detection of the connected peripheral device and selection of the corresponding driver to establish communication with
`the peripheral device without any user loading of the driver on the computer.
