`
`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`The system and method having a specialized software
`application on a personal computer or a PDA/cell phonethat
`that enables a participant to force an automatic acknowl-
`edgement and a manualresponseto a text or voice message
`from other participants within the same network. Each
`participant’s PDA/cell phone includes a force messagealert
`software application program for both creating and process-
`ing these forced message alerts. The system and method
`enabled by the force message alert software application
`program provides the ability to (a) allow an operator to
`create and transmit a forced message alert from a sender
`PDA/cell phone to one or more recipient PCs and PDA/cell
`phones within the communication network; (b) automati-
`cally transmit an acknowledgementofreceipt to the sender
`PDAcell phone uponthereceipt of the forced messagealert;
`(c) periodically resend the messageto the recipient PCs and
`PDA/cell phones that have not sent an acknowledgement;
`(d) provide an indication of which recipient PCs and PDA/
`cell phones have acknowledged the forced messagealert; (e)
`provide a manualresponselist on the display of the recipient
`PC and PDA/cell phone’s display that can only be cleared by
`manually transmitting a response; and (f) provide an indi-
`cation on the sender PDA/cell phone of the status and
`content the manual responses.
`
`Attention is directed to the decision of AGIS Software
`Dev., LLC v. Google LLC, No. 2020-1401, slip op. (Fed.
`Cir. Feb. 4, 2021) relating to this patent. This reexami-
`nation may not haveresolved all questions raised by this
`decision. See 37 CFR 1.552(c) for ex parte reexamination
`and 37 CFR 1.906(c) for inter partes reexamination.

`REEXAMINATION CERTIFICATE
`
`THE PATENT IS HEREBY AMENDED AS
`INDICATED BELOW.
`
`Matter enclosed in heavy brackets [ ] appeared in the
`patent, but has been deleted andis no longer a part of the
`patent; matter printed in italics indicates additions made
`to the patent.
`
`AS A RESULT OF REEXAMINATION, IT HAS BEEN
`DETERMINED THAT:
`
`10
`
`15
`
`Claims 1 and 3-9 were previously cancelled.
`Claims 2 and 10 are determined to be patentable as
`amended.
`
`Claims 11-13, dependent on an amended claim, are
`determinedto be patentable.
`

`
`2. [The system as in claim 1] 4 communication system for
`transmitting, receiving, confirming receipt, and responding
`to an electronic message, comprising: a predetermined
`network of participants, wherein each participant has a
`similarly equipped PDA/cell phone that includes a CPU and
`a touch screen display a CPU and memory; a data trans-
`mission meansthatfacilitates the transmission ofelectronic
`files between said PDA/cell phonesin different locations; a
`sender PDA/cell phone and at least one recipient PDA/cell
`phone for each electronic message; a forced message alert
`software application program including a list of required
`possible responses to be selected by a participant recipient
`of a forced message response loaded on each participating
`PDA/cell phone; meansfor attaching aforced message alert
`software packet to a voice or text message creating a forced
`message alert that is transmitted by said sender PDA/cell
`phoneto the recipient PDA/cell phone, saidforced message
`alert software packet containing a list ofpossible required
`responses and requiring the forced message alert software
`on said recipient PDA/cell phone to transmit an automatic
`acknowledgment to the sender PDA/cell phone as soon as
`saidforced message alert is received by the recipient PDA/
`cellphone; meansfor requiring a required manual response
`from the response list by the recipient in order to clear
`recipient’s responselistfrom recipient’s cell phone display;
`means for receiving and displaying a listing of which
`recipient PDA/cell phones have automatically acknowl-
`edged the forced message alert and which recipient PDA/
`cellphones have not automatically acknowledged theforced
`message alert; meansfor periodically resending saidforced
`message alert to said recipient PDA/cell phones that have
`not automatically acknowledged the forced message alert;
`and means for receiving and displaying a listing of which
`recipient PDA/cell phones have transmitted a manual
`response to said forced message alert and details the
`response from each
`recipient PDA/cell phone
`that
`responded; and means for displaying a geographical map
`with georeferenced entities on the display of the sender
`PDA/cell phone; means for obtaining location and status
`data associated with the recipient PDA/cell phone; and
`meansforpresenting a recipient symbol on the geographical
`map correspondingto a correct geographicallocation ofthe
`recipient PDA/cell phone, wherein the forced messagealert
`software application program on the recipient PDA/cell
`phoneincludes:

`means for transmitting the acknowledgmentof receipt to
`said sender PDA/cell phone immediately upon receiv-
`ing a forced message alert from the sender PDA/cell
`phone;
`means for controlling of the recipient PDA/cell phone
`upon transmitting said automatic acknowledgment and
`causing, in cases where the force messagealert is a text
`message, the text message and a response list to be
`shown on the display of the recipient PDA/cell phone
`or causes, in cases where the forced messagealert is a
`voice message, the voice message being periodically
`repeated by the speakers of the recipient PDA/cell
`phonewhile said responselist is shown on the display;
`means for allowing a manual response to be manually
`selected from the response list or manually recorded
`and transmitting said manual response to the sender
`PDA/cell phone; and
`means for clearing the text message and a responselist
`from the display of the recipient PDA/cell phone or
`stopping the repeating voice message andclearing the
`responselist from the display of the recipient PDA/cell
`phone once the manual responseis transmitted.
`10. A methodof receiving, acknowledging and respond-
`ing to a forced messagealert from a sender PDA/cell phone
`to arecipient PDA/cell phone, wherein the receipt, acknowl-
`edgment, and responseto said forced messagealert is forced
`by a forced messagealert software application program,said
`method comprising the steps of:
`receiving an electronically transmitted electronic mes-
`sage; identifying said electronic message as a forced
`messagealert, wherein said forced message alert com-
`prises of a voice or text message and a forced message
`alert application software packet, which triggers the
`activation of the forced message alert software appli-
`cation program within the recipient PDA/cell phone;
`transmitting an automatic acknowledgment of receipt to
`the sender PDA/cell phone, which triggers the forced
`message alert software application program to take
`control of the recipient PDA/cell phone and show the
`content of the text message and a required response list
`on the display recipient PDA/cell phone or to repeat
`audibly the content of the voice message on the speak-
`ers of the recipient PDA/cell phone and show the
`required responselist on the display recipient PDA/cell
`phone; and
`selected required response from the
`transmitting a
`response list in order to allow the message required
`response list to be cleared from the recipient’s cell
`phone display, whether said selected response is a
`chosen option from the responselist, causing the forced
`messagealert software to release control of the recipi-
`ent PDA/cell phone and stop showing the contentof the
`text message and a responselist on the display recipient
`PDA/cell phoneand or stop repeating the content of the
`voice message on the speakers of the recipient PDA/
`cell phone;
`displaying the response received from the PDAcell phone
`that transmitted the response on the sender of the forced
`alert PDA/cell phone; and
`providing a list of the recipient PDA/cell phones have
`automatically acknowledged receipt of a forced alert
`messageandtheir responseto the forced alert message;
`and displaying a geographical map with georeferenced
`entities on the display of the sender PDA/cellphone;
`obtaining location and status data associated with the
`recipient PDA/cellphone; and presenting a recipient
`symbol on the geographical map corresponding to a
