`
`IN THE CLAIMS
`
`Please amend the claims as follows:
`
`1.
`
`(Currently Amended) A mobile terminal configured to switch between transit to a locked
`
`and unlocked state in which a predetermined operation is limited, comprising:
`
`a communication unit 1tvhich performs configured to perform short-range wireless
`
`communications;
`
`~ storage unit whieh configured to previously steres- store information about
`
`another mobile terminal; and
`
`a control unit configured to switch the mobile terminal between a locked and
`
`unlocked state based on the operation of a user;
`
`wherein the control unit controls the mobile terminal to be switched from a locked
`
`state to an unlocked state under a predetermined condition when any one of the following steps is
`
`performed:
`
`performing the short-range wireless communications with the another mobile
`
`terminal by the communication unit when the another mobile terminal stored in the storage unit
`
`is in communication range of the short-range wireless communications of the communication
`
`unit; and
`
`performing an authentication of a face of a user.
`
`a lock co-H-trol instruction unit which communicates with the another mobile
`
`terminal in a communication range through the communication unit and instructs the another
`
`mobile terminal to be unlocked when releasing a locked state based on an operation of a user.

`(Currently Amended) A mobile terminal to transit to a locked state in 1tvhich a
`
`J9redetermined OJ9eration is limited, COID]9rising: according to claim 1, wherein:
`
`the control unit performs short-range wireless communications with the another
`
`mobile terminal by the communication unit and sets the mobile terminal to be in an unlocked
`
`state when the another mobile terminal is stored in the storage unit and is in communication
`
`range of the short-range wireless communications by the communication unit when the mobile
`
`terminal is in a locked state
`
`a communication unit which J9erforms short range wireless communications;
`
`a storage unit which J9re¥iously stores information about another mobile terminal;
`
`an authentication unit which J9erforms authentication to release the locked state,

`[0033], [0037]-[0038], [0065]-[0070], [0083], [0092], and [0098]-[0099] of the published
`
`application, FIG. 7, and the originally-filed claims. Thus, Applicant respectfully submits that no
`
`new matter is being added by the Amendments to the Claims.
`
`Rejection of Claim 5 under 35 U.S.C. § 112
`
`The Examiner rejected Claim 5 under 35 U.S.C. 112 for using relative terms. Applicant
`
`respectfully disagrees with the Examiner. However, to expedite prosecution of the application,
`
`Applicant has amended Claim 5 to address this rejection and respectfully requests the Examiner
`
`to withdraw this rejection.
`
`Rejection of Claims 1, 3-5, 8, and 10 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
`
`Claims 1-4 and 8 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over US
`
`2010/0144275 (Satou), in view of US 2011/0086615 (Golder). Claims 5 and 9 are rejected under
`
`35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Satou, in view of US 2011/0195665 (Friedlander).
`
`Claims 7 and 11 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Satou, in view
`
`of US 2006/0128305 (Delalat).
`

`cited as support for and do not disclose the above features.
`
`Accordingly, Applicant submits that the rejection of independent claims 1 and 8 under 35
`
`U.S.C. § 103(a) should be withdrawn. Applicant submits dependent claims 3-5 are allowable at
`
`least for depending from allowable independent claim 1, and dependent claims 10 and 12 are
`
`allowable at least for depending from allowable independent claim 8. Accordingly, Applicant

`37 C.F.R. 1.145 Subsequent presentation of claims for different invention.
`If, after an office action on an application, the applicant presents claims directed to an invention distinct from and independent of the
`invention previously claimed, the applicant will be required to restrict the claims to the invention previously claimed if the amendment is
`entered, subject to reconsideration and review as provided in §§ 1.143 and 1 .144.
`
`The amendment filed on 09/11/2015 amended all claims drawn to the elected invention and presenting only claims drawn to a
`non-elected invention is non-responsive (MPEP § 821.03). The remaining claims are not readable on the elected invention
`because the newly amended claims would have been restrictable from the origianlly examined claims, applicant has now
`added a second communication unit, a display unit, a GPS system exchanging positional information between two mobile
`devices, performing an authentication of a face of a user, etc., not previously claimed and altered the asepects of the claimed
`mobile device and method to be a distinct invention from what was originally claimed.
`
`Since the above-mentioned amendment appears to be a bona fide attempt to reply, applicant is given a TIME PERIOD of
`TWO (2) MONTHS from the mailing date of this notice within which to supply the omission or correction in order to avoid
`abandonment. EXTENSIONS OF THIS TIME PERIOD UNDER 37 CFR 1.136(a) ARE AVAILABLE.
`
`The practice set forth in this section is not applicable where a provisional election of a single species was made in
`accordance with MPEP § 803.02 and applicant amends the claims such that the elected species is cancelled, or where
`applicant presents claims that could not have been restricted from the claims drawn to other elected invention had they been
`presented earlier.

`
`IN THE CLAIMS
`
`Please amend the claims as follows:
`
`1.
`
`(Currently Amended) A mobile terminal configured to switch between transit to a locked
`
`and unlocked state in which a predetermined operation is limited, comprising:
`
`a first communication unit which performs configured to perform short-range
`
`wireless communications;
`
`a second communication unit configured to perform wireless communications
`
`with a base station;
`
`a positional information acquisition unit configured to acquire positional
`
`information of the mobile terminal by a OPS (Global Position System) function;
`
`£! storage unit whieh configured to previously stores store information about
`
`another mobile terminal; ami
`
`a display unit; and
`
`a control unit configured to switch the mobile terminal between a locked and
`
`unlocked state based on the operation of a user;
`
`wherein the positional information of the mobile terminal acquired by the
`
`positional information acquisition unit is transmitted to the another mobile terminal by the
`
`second communication unit when the another mobile terminal is in an unlocked state and is out
`
`of communication range of the short-range wireless communications of the first communication
`
`unit;
`
`wherein the control unit controls the mobile terminal to be transited from a locked
`
`state to an unlocked state under a predetermined condition when any one of the following steps is
`
`performed:

`terminal by the first communication unit when the another mobile terminal stored in the storage
`
`unit is in communication range of the short-range wireless communications of the first
`
`communication unit; and
`

`
`a lock control instruction unit which communicates ·.vith the another mobile
`
`terminal in a communication range through the communication unit and instructs the another
`
`mobile terminal to be unlocked ·.vhen releasing a locked state based on an operation of a user.
`
`2.
`
`(Currently Amended) The mobile terminal according to claim I, wherein:
`
`the positional information of the mobile terminal acquired bv the positional
`
`information acquisition unit is transmitted to the another mobile terminal by the second
`
`communication unit when the another mobile terminal is in an unlocked state and is out of
`
`communication range of the short-range wireless communications of the first communication
`
`unit, and the positional information of the another mobile terminal is received and notified to a
`
`user by the second communication unit.
`
`when transiting to a locked state based on an operation of a user, the lock control
`
`instruction unit communicates with the another mobile terminal in a communication range
`
`through the communication unit and instructs the another mobile terminal to transit to a locked
`
`state.
