`
`Reasons for Allowance
`
`Claims 1-5 are allowed.
`
`The following is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance:
`
`While Wood (Patent No. 6,178,514) discloses an interface for connecting a device to a
`
`bus carrying power and a signal including a universal serial bus which carried both power and
`
`signal. A controller determines whether an external power supply is present or not. When no
`
`I external. power supply is detected, the controller communicates to the USB hub that the USB
`
`device should be considered as a low power device.
`
`The Universal Serial Bus (USB) Specification teaches a USB standard where all hubs and
`
`functions must be able to provide configuration of at least 4.4 volts at a connector. Only low
`
`power functions need to operate fully with this minimum voltage. Voltage lower than 4.4 volts
`
`may cause damage to a USB device.
`
`And Lynn (newly cited reference “Universal Serial Bus (USB) Power Management”)
`
`teaches a USB self-powered hubs are required to provide a minimum of 4.75 volts and a
`
`maximum of 5.25 volts at downstream ports under a typical loading condition.
`
`None of these references taken either alone or in combination discloses a portable
`
`electronic device with a common serial bus connector having all
`
`the claimed features of
`
`applicant’s instant invention, specifically including: capable of receiving a power supply from
`
`the information processing device or an external power source as connected to the common serial
`
`bus connector or
`
`from an internal power source,
`
`the portable electronic device being
`
`Characterized in that the control circuit discriminates among the sources of supply of power and
`
`causes the common serial bus controller to execute the predetermined data communication

`processing while power voltage is greater than or equal to 4.4 volts and is supplied from the
`
`information processing device connected to the common serial bus connector, and executes the
`
`usual device operation processing while power voltage is less than 4.4 volts and is supplied from
`
`the external power source connected to the common serial bus connector. Also, there is no
`
`motivation to combine the references to meet these limitations. It
`
`is for these reasons that
`
`applicant’s invention defines over the prior art of record.
