Application No.: 11/165,341
`Response dated May 3, 2010
`
`Attorney Docket No.: WAN-0001
`
`various references clearly address different problems in a wholly different fashion, under different
`circumstances and with no logical relationship between them.
`
`Accordingly, Applicant respectfully requests reconsideration and withdrawal of the rejection
`of the claims under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Heinonen in view of Lewis, and
`
`further in view of Rakib.
`
`In view of the foregoing arguments, all claims are believed to be in condition for allowance.
`If any further issues remain, the Examiner is invited to telephone the undersigned representative
`Christopher M. Tobin at the number provided below to resolve them.
`
`This response is believed to be a complete response to the Office Action. However,
`Applicants reserve the right to set forth further arguments supporting the patentability of their
`claims, including the separate patentability of the dependent claims not explicitly addressed ·herein,
`in future papers. Further, for any instances in which the Examiner took Official Notice in the Office
`Action, Applicants expressly do not acquiesce to the taking of Official Notice, and respectfully
`request that the Examiner provide an affidavit to support the Official Notice taken in the next Office
`Action, as required by 37 CFR l.104(d)(2) and MPEP § 2144.03.

`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103(a) which forms the basis for all
`
`obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
`
`(a) A patent may not be obtained though the invention is not identically disclosed or described as set forth in
`section 102 of this title, if the differences between the subject matter sought to be patented and the prior art are
`such that the subject matter as a whole would have been obvious at the time the invention was made to a person
`having ordinary skill in the art to which said subject matter pertains. Patentability shall not be negatived by the
`manner in which the invention was made.
`
`This application currently names joint inventors. In considering patentability of the
`
`claims under 35 U.S.C. 103(a), the examiner presumes that the subject matter of the various
`
`claims was commonly owned at the time any inventions covered therein were made absent any
`
`evidence to the contrary. Applicant is advised of the obligation under 37 CFR 1.56 to point out
`
`the inventor and invention dates of each claim that was not commonly owned at the time a later
`
`invention was made in order for the examiner to consider the applicability of 35 U.S.C. 103( c)
`
`and potential 35 U.S.C. 102(e), (f) or (g) prior art under 35 U.S.C. 103(a).
`
`The factual inquiries set forth in Graham v. John Deere Co., 383 U.S. 1,148 USPQ 459
`(1966), that are applied for establishing a background for determining obviousness under 35
`U.S.C. 103(a) are summarized as follows:
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`Determining the scope and contents of the prior art.
`
`Ascertaining the differences between the prior art and the claims at issue.

`II.
`
`Claims 67-68, 73, 80, 83-84, 85, 90, 98, 101-103, 108, 114, and 116 are rejected
`
`under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as being unpatentable over Heinonen (US 7,312,813 Bl) in view of
`
`Caspi et al. (US 2004/0177376 Al).
`
`Regarding claim 67 Heinonen teaches a method for processing signals to accommodate
`
`reproduction by an alternative display terminal (see col. 1, lines 48-52). Heinonen teaches
`
`receiving by a conversion module (22, FIG. 1) a video signal appropriate for displaying a video
`
`content on a mobile terminal (12, FIG. 1) (see col. 3, lines 46-52, data received by interface
`
`module can be video data (see col. 2, lines 55-57)). Heinonen teaches the video signal being
`
`received by the conversion module from a cellular network communication that is sent to the
`
`mobile terminal and then received by the conversion module (see col. 2, lines 43-51 and col. 3,
`
`lines 40-52). Heinonen teaches processing by the conversion module the video signal to produce
`
`a converted video signal for use by the alternative display terminal (24, FIG. 1) (see col. 2, lines
`
`51-57 and col. 3, lines 49-56). Heinonen teaches wherein the converted video signal produced
`
`by the conversion module comprises a display format and a power level appropriate for driving
`
`the alternative display terminal; and providing the converted video signal from the conversion
`
`module to the alternative display terminal to accommodate displaying the video content by the
`
`alternative display terminal (see col. 2, lines 51-57 and col. 3, lines 49-56, conversion of
`
`interpreted data to signals formatted for display device 24 and then displaying the data on the
`
`television monitor indicates that signal is provided in the appropriate format and power level).

`
`Heinonen does not specifically teach processing by the conversion module including
`
`converting the video signal from a compression format appropriate for the mobile terminal to a
`
`display format for the alternative display terminal that is different from the compression format.
`
`Caspi teaches processing by a conversion module (204, FIG. 2A) including converting
`
`the video signal from a compression format (MPEG) appropriate for the mobile terminal (1 lOa,
`
`FIG. IA, pc 1 lOa may be laptop (see middle of paragraph [0065])) to a display format for the
`
`alternative display terminal (116a, FIG. la) that is different from the compression format (see
`
`paragraph [0067]).
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention
`
`was made to make the method of Heinonen adapt to include processing by the conversion
`
`module including converting the video signal from a compression format appropriate for the
`
`mobile terminal to a display format for the alternative display terminal that is different from the
`
`compression format because it facilitates the video signal received from the service provider
`
`through the mobile terminal in Heinonen to be presented on the alternative display terminal in
`
`proper form and allows for improved convergence of television technologies with mobile or
`
`portable terminal technologies (see paragraph [0003]).
`
`Regarding claim 68 Heinonen teaches wherein the mobile terminal is a cellular phone
`
`(see col. 1, lines 12-15).
`
`Regarding claim 73 Heinonen teaches wherein receiving the video signal, processing the
`
`video to produce the converted video signal, and providing the converted video signal to the
`
`alternative display terminal is performed using power from a source that differs from the internal
`
`power supply of the mobile terminal (see col. 3, lines 13-17 and FIG. 1).

`
`Regarding claim 80 Heinonen teaches wherein the video signal received is part of a
`
`multimedia signal that is received in the cellular network (see col. 2, lines 55-57 and col. 3, lines
`
`49-51, textual, audio and/or video data received reads on multimedia signal).
`
`Regarding claim 83 Heinonen teaches wherein the alternative display terminal (24, FIG.
`
`1) is an external display terminal (see col. 3, lines 54-56).
`
`Regarding claim 84 Heinonen teaches a system for processing signals to accommodate
`
`reproduction by an alternative display terminal (see col. 1, lines 48-52). Heinonen teaches
`
`means for receiving (22, FIG. 1) a video signal appropriate for displaying a video content on a
`
`mobile terminal (12, FIG. 1) (see col. 3, lines 46-52, data received by interface module can be
`
`video data (see col. 2, lines 55-57)). Heinonen teaches the video signal being received from a
`
`cellular network communication that is sent to the mobile terminal and then received by the
`
`means for receiving the video signal (see col. 2, lines 43-51 and col. 3, lines 40-52). Heinonen
`
`teaches means for processing (28, FIG. 2) the video signal to produce a converted video signal
`
`for use by the alternative display terminal (24, FIG. 1) (see col. 2, lines 51-57 and col. 3, lines
`
`49-56). Heinonen teaches the converted video signal produced by the means for processing the
`
`video signal comprises a display format and a power level appropriate for driving the alternative
`
`display terminal; and means for providing the converted video signal to the alternative display
`
`terminal to accommodate displaying the video content by the alternative display terminal (see
`
`col. 2, lines 51-57 and col. 3, lines 49-56, conversion of interpreted data to signals formatted for
`
`display device 24 and then displaying the data on the television monitor indicates that signal is
`
`provided in the appropriate format and power level).

`
`Heinonen does not specifically teach processing including converting the video signal
`
`from a compression format appropriate for the mobile terminal to a display format for the
`
`alternative display terminal that is different from the compression format.
`
`Caspi teaches processing means (216, FIG. 2A) including converting the video signal
`
`from a compression format (MPEG) appropriate for the mobile terminal (1 lOa, FIG. IA, pc 1 lOa
`
`may be laptop (see middle of paragraph [0065])) to a display format for the alternative display
`
`terminal (116a, FIG. la) that is different from the compression format (see paragraph [0067]).
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention
`
`was made to make the system in Heinonen adapt to include processing including converting the
`
`video signal from a compression format appropriate for the mobile terminal to a display format
`
`for the alternative display terminal that is different from the compression format because it
`
`facilitates the video signal received from the service provider through the mobile terminal in

`
`rejected given the same reasoning as above.
`
`Regarding claim 102 Heinonen teaches an apparatus for processing signals to
`
`accommodate reproduction by an alternative display terminal (see col. 1, lines 48-52). Heinonen
`
`teaches an interface module (22, FIG. 1), which receives a video signal appropriate for
`
`displaying a video content on a mobile terminal (12, FIG. 1) (see col. 3, lines 46-52, data
`
`received by interface module can be video data (see col. 2, lines 55-57)). Heinonen teaches the
`
`video signal being received from a cellular network communication that is sent to the mobile
`
`terminal and then received by the interface module (see col. 2, lines 43-51 and col. 3, lines 40-
`
`52). Heinonen teaches a signal conversion module (28, FIG. 2), in operative communication
`
`with the interface module, which processes the video signal to produce a converted video signal
`
`for use by the alternative display terminal (24, FIG. 1) (see col. 2, lines 51-57 and col. 3, lines

`
`module comprises a display format and a power level appropriate for driving the alternative
`
`display terminal (see col. 2, lines 51-57 and col. 3, lines 49-56, conversion of interpreted data to
`
`signals formatted for display device 24 and then displaying the data on the television monitor
`
`indicates that signal is provided in the appropriate format and power level). Heinonen teaches a
`
`device interface module (32, FIG. 2), in operative communication with the signal conversion
`
`module, which provides the converted video signal to the alternative display terminal to
`
`accommodate displaying the video content by the alternative display terminal (see col. 3, lines
`
`54-56).

`
`Heinonen does not specifically teach processing by the signal conversion module
`
`including converting the video signal from a compression format appropriate for the mobile
`
`terminal to a display format for the alternative display terminal that is different from the
`
`compression format.
`
`Caspi teaches processing by a signal conversion module (216, FIG. 2A) including
`
`converting the video signal from a compression format (MPEG) appropriate for the mobile
`
`terminal (1 lOa, FIG. IA, pc 1 lOa may be laptop (see middle of paragraph [0065])) to a display
`
`format for the alternative display terminal (116a, FIG. la) that is different from the compression
`
`format (see paragraph [0067]).
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention
`
`was made to make the apparatus in Heinonen adapt to include processing by the signal
`
`conversion module including converting the video signal from a compression format appropriate

`
`III.
`
`Claims 76, 94, 111, 120, 124, and 128 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103(a) as
`
`being unpatentable over Heinonen (US 7 ,312,813 B 1) in view of Caspi et al. (US 2004/01773 7 6
`
`Al) and Dawson et al. (US 2006/0001737 Al).
`
`Regarding claim 76 Heinonen and Caspi teach the method of claim 67 except for wherein
`
`the conversion module resides in the alternative display terminal.
`
`Dawson teaches a conversion module (656, FIG. 6) that resides in an alternative display
`
`terminal (116, FIG. 6) (see paragraph [0030] and Figs. 1 & 6).
`
`It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art at the time the invention
`
`was made to make the method of the Heinonen and Caspi combination adapt to include the
`
`conversion module residing in the alternative display terminal because a conversion module
`
`implemented in a display terminal, as taught by Dawson, would function in the same way as it
`
`would when positioned separate from the display terminal and it would allow for a dedicated
`
`video display for the video signal (see Dawson, paragraph [0001]).
`
`Regarding claim 94 Heinonen, Caspi, and Dawson teach features as recited in claim 76
`
`and is rejected given the same reasoning as above.
`
`Regarding claim 111 Heinonen, Caspi, and Dawson teach features as recited in claim 76
`
`and is rejected given the same reasoning as above.
