`
`Regarding claim 7, Keating discloses a method of sending a forced
`
`message alert to one or more recipient PCs or PDA/cell phones within a
`
`predetermined communication network, wherein the receipt and response to said

`forced message alert by each intended recipient PC or PDA/cell phone is
`
`tracked, said method comprising the steps of: accessing a forced message alert
`
`software application program on a sender PC or PDA/cell phone (paragraph

`
`creating the forced message alert on said sender PC or PDA/ cell phone by
`
`attaching a voice or text message to a forced message alert application software
`
`packet to said voice or text message {paragraph (00221). Keating discloses
`
`designating one or more recipient PCs or PDA/cell phones in the communication
`
`network (paragraph [0022] where a group call originator, or leader, initiates
`
`set-up of a group call through his or her mobile station y choosing or
`
`selecting a group call participant list). Keating discloses electronically
`
`transmitting the forced message alert to said recipient PCs or PDA/cell phones
`
`{paragraph [0022]). Keating discloses receiving automatic acknowledgements
`
`from the recipient PCs or PDA/cell phones that received the message and
`
`displaying a listing of which recipient PCs or PDA/cell phones have
`
`acknowledged receipt of the forced message alert and which recipient PCs or
`
`PDA/ cell phones have not acknowledged receipt of the forced message alert
`
`(see Fig. 2 - steps 42 and 43 where acknowledgements are received from
`
`the recipient mobile phones). Keating discloses periodically resending the
`
`forced message alert to the recipient PCs or PDA/cell phones that have not
`
`acknowledged receipt (see Fig. 2). Keating discloses receiving responses to
`
`the forced message alert from the recipient PCs or PDA/cell phones and
`
`displaying the response from each recipient PC or PDA/cell phone and clearing

`
`the receiver's display screen or causing the repeating voice alert to cease upon

`
`Keating is silent responses to the forced message alert from the recipient
`
`PCs or PDA/cell phones and displaying the response from each recipient PC or
`
`PDA/cell phone and clearing the receiver's display screen or causing the
`
`repeating voice alert to cease upon selecting a response . However, Dalton
`
`teaches responses to the forced message alert from the recipient PCs or
`
`PDA/cell phones and displaying the response from each recipient PC or PDA/cell
`
`phone and clearing the receiver's display screen or causing the repeating voice
`
`alert to cease upon selecting a response (paragraph [0014] where each active
`
`mobile device responds to the predetermined message and performs a
`
`specific function related to the predetermined message).
`
`At the time of invention, it would have been obvious to a person of
`
`ordinary skill in the art to modify the invention of Keating with that of Dalton,
`
`thereby integrating plurality of mobile devices as taught by Dalton
`
`(paragraph [0001]).
`
`Regarding claim 8, Keating discloses herein each PC or PDA]cell phone
`
`within a predetermined communication network is similarly equipped and has the
`
`forced message alert software application program loaded on it (paragraph

`
`application software packet contains a response list, wherein said response list is
`
`a custom response list that is created at the time the specific forced message
`
`alert is created on the sender PC or PDA/cell phone (paragraph [00271) ..
`
`Regarding claim 11, Keating discloses a method of receiving,
`
`acknowledging and respond ing to a forced message alert from a sender PC or
`
`PDA/cell phone to a recipient PC or PDA/cell phone, wherein the
