`
`The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined
`
`under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA.
`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`Claim Objections
`
`Claims 7 and i 9 objected to because of the following informalities: Claims 7 and
`
`19 depends on canceled claims 6 and 18 respectively. Appropriate correction is
`
`required. For examination purpose, the Examiner assumed that claims 7 and i 9
`
`depends from claims 1 and 13 respectively.
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC 102
`
`The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. i 02 that
`
`form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:
`
`A person shall be entitled to a patent unless -
`
`(a)(2) the claimed invention was described in a patent issued under
`
`section 1 51 , or in an application for patent published or deemed published under
`
`section 1 22(b), in which the patent or application, as the case may be, names
`
`another inventor and was effectively filed before the effective filing date of the
`
`claimed invention.
`
`Claims 1-3, 5, 8-15, 17, and 20-30, are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(2) as
`
`being anticipated by Melen (US Publication No. 20040148090).

`
`Application/Control Number: i 4/633804
`Art Unit: 2646
`
`Page 3
`
`As to claims 1, 13, 27, and 29, Melen teaches a computer-implemented method
`
`comprising: receiving at various times (pp0033, real time tracking) from one or more
`
`devices respective information comprising a location of the device and sending the
`
`location to one or more other devices (fig. lA and fig. i B, and fig. 5, #506, receive
`
`location of each member), wherein each of the other devices is configured to display a
`
`respective symbol representing the location on a respective map (fig. 4, and pp0064,
`
`display icon of each car on map 406) ; receiving from a first device information
`
`indicating user selection of one or more of the displayed symbols corresponding to
`
`second devices and, based thereon (fig. 5, #509, #510, and pp0063, ppOO7O,
`
`touching icon to car): obtaining a respective contact information for each of the
`
`second devices (fig. 5, #511, and pp0045, cellular telephone number of member);
`
`and facilitating a respective communication between the first device and each of the
`
`second devices using the contact information of the second device (fig. 5, #512, and
`
`pp0063, ppOO7O, make a telephone call to the selected member).
`
`As to claims 2, 14, 28, and 30, Melen teaches wherein a particular
`
`communication is a phone call, a short message service message, a voice message, a
`
`text message, an electronic mail message, an image, or a video (fig. 5, #512, and
`
`pp0063, ppOO7O, make a telephone call to the selected member).

`Art Unit: 2646
`
`Page 4
`
`As to claims 3 and 15, Melen teaches wherein first device and the second
`
`devices are part of a same group or within a user-specified geographic area (pp0004,
`
`group of members driving to common location).
`
`As to claims 5 and 17, Melen teaches wherein particular contact information is a
`
`phone number or an Internet Protocol address (fig. 5, #511, and pp0045, cellular
`
`telephone number of member).
`
`As to claims 8 and 20, Melen teaches wherein a particular device is a smart
`
`phone, a personal data assistant, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, or a laptop
`
`computer (pp0003, vehicles are equipped with cellular telephones).
`
`As to claims 9 and 21, Melen teaches further comprising: receiving a request for
`
`a map from a third device wherein the request comprises one or more parameters and
`
`wherein a parameter specifies a map location (fig. 1 B, fig. 4, each vehicle includes
`
`navigation system 300, fig. 5) or a zoom indication; obtaining a second map that
`
`conforms to the attributes; and sending the second map to the third device location (fig.
`
`lB, fig. 4, each vehicle includes navigation system 300, fig. 5).
`
`As to claims 10 and 22, Melen teaches wherein the first device does not have
`
`access to the phone numbers or Internet Protocol addresses of the second devices
`
`(pp0072, request permission).

`
`As to claims 11 and 23, Melen teaches wherein the map is an aerial
`
`photograph, a satellite image, or a chart (fig. 4).
`
`As to claims 12 and 24, Melen teaches wherein receiving at various times from
`
`a particular device information comprises receiving the information from the particular
`
`device at a time based on one or more of: speed of the particular device, distance
`
`traveled by the particular device, or time (pp0033, real time tracking and receiving
`
`location, and ppOO7O).
`
`As to claims 25 and 26, Melen teaches further comprising: sending a respective
`
`first map to each one of a plurality of devices wherein the device is configured to display
`
`the first map (fig. 1 B, fig. 4, each vehicle includes navigation system 300, to
`
`display the map of fig. 4, and fig. 5).
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all
`
`obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
`
`A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the
`claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 1 02 of this title, if the
`differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed
`invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed
`invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains.
`Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made.

`
`Claims 4 and 16, are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over
`
`Melen (US Publication No. 20040148090) in view of Crowley et al. (US Patent No.
`
`7593740).
`
`As to claims 4 and 16, Melen teaches the limitations of the independent claims
`
`as discussed above. However, fails to explicitly teach wherein the group is a friends or
`
`family group.
`
`In an analogous field of endeavor, Crowley teaches wherein the group is a
`
`friends or family group (fig. 3, friends near Luna lounge). Thus it would have been
`
`obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing data of the claimed
`
`invention to combine the teachings of Melen with the teachings Crowley to achieve the
`
`goal of efficiently providing a communication system wherein communication are very
`
`convenient, very easy to use, and very efficient (Crowley, col. i ,
`
`lines 26-28).
`
`Claims 7 and 1 9, are rejected under 35 U.S.C. i 03 as being unpatentable over
`
`Melen (US Publication No. 200401 48090) in view of Steenstra et al. (US Publication No.
`
`20060047825).
`
`As to claims 7 and 19, Melen teaches the limitations of the independent claims
`
`as discussed above. However, fails to explicitly teach wherein the symbol represents a
`
`facility or a persons home.

`
`Page 7
`
`In an analogous field of endeavor, Steenstra teaches wherein the symbol
`
`represents a facility or a persons home (fig. 5, pp0026). Thus it would have been
`
`obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing data of the claimed
`
`invention to combine the teachings of Melen with the teachings Streenstra to achieve
`
`the goal of efficiently and reliably creating and maintaining location based service social
`
`network in a communication system (Streenstra, pp0006).
