`
`1. Discuss 103 rejection of claim 7 (0A, p. 16). Claim 7 recites:
`
`receiving a user command to enter a search user interface;
`
`displaying the search user interface in response to the user command; and
`
`requesting for search results for a current search and for the plurality of
`
`previously saved searches, wherein the reguesting for the plurality of search results is
`
`done automatically without the user intervention
`
`The CA alleges that this feature is taught or suggested by Cross; Applicant respectfully
`disagrees. There is no automatic triggering of new search results by Cross. Instead, Cross
`simply describes reordering previous search results {based on what is determined to be of
`user interest).
`
`
`Search history controller l, l6 stores a histor ’ of generated search results, such as a history
`of search result links l08, in reorderetl search result history database llll. Reorderetl
`
`reviousl ; enerated
`search result history database ll8 includes one or more sets of
`
`search results for one or more search uer ’ terrns. ln particular, reordered search result
`
`
`
`history database l l8 includes search results reordered to indicate those linltis with content
`
`indieatin ' rnost user interest to those links with content indicatincF least user interest.
`
`(Cross. 9040)
`
`search history controller l, l6 automatically monitors search result links M38 and stores
`
`search result links 7:08. as reordered by search result adjuster 1049 in reordered search
`result history database ll8. Search history controller llo may be triggered to store search
`
`result links “)8 periodically, responsive to each reordering, or responsive to opening or
`elosing windows displaying search result linltis l089 for example. in another example, a

`
`user may trigger search history controller 116 or preferences set in organization
`preferences liZ may trigger search history controller lit) to store search result
`links lGS in reordered search result history database ll8 (Cross, (3041).
`
`As a non—limiting example, see Spec 0033.
`
`it is important to note that searches conducted to populate persistent search display
`
`area 730 are conducted automatically using one or more of previously saved searches and
`no user input is involved. Additionally, the automatic search may be conducted based on
`
`the occurrence of a trigger event. in one. aspect, the. trigger event may be based on an
`external event such as a news event or a trending event. For example, the user may have
`
`previously conducted a search on the term Amadeus and find nothing. l-iowever, if the a
`ehild prodigy playing a Mozart concerto made national news and thereby generated a lot
`
`interests on Mozart, the movie Amadeus may suddenly he made available by one of the
`streaming providers. in such a scenario, the combination of the persistent search display
`area 730 and trigger event and helps the user discover contents relevant to the user's
`interests.
`
`Discuss Remarks with regard to claim 1 0A p. 3. The OA indicates that "This
`combination would simply provide each search result once in a concurrent display. . . "
`Assuming this to be true, Applicant respectfully submits that this does not teach or
`suggest the claim language, particularly:
`
`updating the display of the plurality of search results, wherein the updated display
`includes the most recent search result for the more recent date/time for the first one of the
`
`saved searches, displayed concurrently with the first set and the second set of search
`results that were previously displayed.
`
`As a non—limiting example, to only display each search result once would destroy part of
`the utility of the claim invention. For example, content providers are constantly adding
`and removing content which may be available for viewing. The first set of search results
`may include programs A, B, and C. The second set of search results may include
`programs B, C, and D. However in View of the alleged combination, the first set of search
`results would have to be altered to remove programs B and C, and thus the display would
`be in accurate. Then, for example, in a most recent search result if program A, B and E
`were available, in the GAS combination, programs A and B would have to be removed
`from the first set, and program B would have to be removed from the second set, thus
`again giving an erroneous View of previous search results.
`
`Applicant respectfully submits that the claimed combination does not teach or suggest the
`claim language.
