`
`Claim Rejections Under 35 U.S.C. § 103
`Each of the previously-pending independent claims was rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103
`
`as purportedly being obvious over U.S. Patent No. 7,593,740 ("Crowley") in view of U.S. Pub.
`
`No. 2005/0227705 ("Rousu") and further in view of U.S. Pub. No. 2004/0148090 (" Melen").
`
`Each of the previously-pending dependent claims was rejected as purpo1tedly being obvious over
`
`Crowley, Rousu, and Melen alone or in combination with U.S. Pub. No. 2004/0054428
`
`("Sheeha"), U.S. Patent No. 7,024,207 ("Gorday"), or U.S. Patent No. 7,421,270 ("Serafat" ).
`
`These rejections are moot, since all of the previously-pending claims have been canceled.
`
`Overview of Some Embodiments
`
`At the time the invention was made, conventional mobile device inte1faces for locating
`
`and communicating with entities (e.g., users, businesses, homes, etc.) were generally
`
`cumbersome to use. See ' 724 patent, col. 1, line 53 - col. 2, line 4. For example, to view
`
`contact infonnation for an entity at a particular location, a conventional mobile device may have
`
`required a user to access a user interface that displays a map of georeferenced entities and select
`
`the entity of interest. See ' 724 patent, col. 1, lines 53-60. To use the contact infonnation ( e.g., a
