`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`Examiner’s Note
`
`1.
`
`The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined
`
`under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA.
`
`2.
`
`In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35
`
`U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103)is incorrect, any
`
`correction of the statutory basis for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of
`
`rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be
`
`the same under either status.
`
`3.
`
`This Office Action is in response to application filed 07/31/2020, where claims 1-
`
`20 are currently pending.
`
`Allowable Subject Matter
`
`4.
`
`Claims 5 and 14 are objected to as being dependent upona rejected base claim,
`
`but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the limitations
`
`of the base claim and any intervening claims.
`
`5.
`
`The following is a statement of reasons for the indication of allowable subject
`
`matter:
`
`the claims are directed to a nonobvious improvement over the cited prior art.
`
`Specifically the claims are directed to installing installable content on a client device
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 16/944,650
`Art Unit: 2142
`
`Page 3
`
`received from a device controller at a specific time interval without receiving any user
`
`input at the client device to install the installable content. During installation, an
`
`invocation of an API that requires additional user input is prevented, and a directed
`
`responseinteraction to enable progression of the installing on the client device is also
`
`prevented. The closest prior art, US Patent Application Pub. No. 20140337752
`
`(Cammarata), discloses pushing configurations and applications to be installed on a
`
`mobile device from a remote device, where the mobile device provides a simplified
`
`interface adapted for elderly and disabled users that are technical novices, so that the
`
`configuration and installation of applications on the mobile device is performed by a
`
`user having more technical knowledge from a remote device. However, Cammarata
`
`does notexplicitly teach that during the installation of applications pushed from the
`
`remote device at the specified time interval, an invocation of an API that requires
`
`additional user input is prevented, and the display of a directed response interaction
`
`with the mobile device to enable progression of the installation is also prevented. The
`
`US Patent No. 10204031 (Assenmacher), discloses methods and systems that
`
`distribute applications to and execute on remote devices. However, Assenmacher also
`
`does not explicitly teach preventing invocation of an API that requires additional user
`
`input and/or preventing display of a directed response interaction with the remote device
`
`to enable progression of the deployment. Therefore, neither alone nor in combination,
`
`the cited prior art teach the exact combination oflimitations as recited in the contextof
`
`claims 1, 4, 5, 10, 13, and 14 as a whole.

`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
`
`6.
`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(b):
`
`(B) CONCLUSION.—The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out
`and distinctly claiming the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor regards as the invention.
`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AlA), second paragraph:
`
`The specification shall conclude with one or moreclaims particularly pointing out and distinctly
`claiming the subject matter which the applicant regards as his invention.
`
`7.
`
`Claims 11 and 12 rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AlA),
`
`second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to particularly point out and distinctly
`
`claim the subject matter which the inventor or a joint inventor, or for pre-AlA the
`
`applicant regards asthe invention.
`
`8.
`
`Claims 11 and 12 are rejected to because of the following: claim 11 recites
`
`“wherein, during the installation of the distributed content’. The limitation is
`
`referencing to an installation of the distributed content step. However, according to
`
`claim 10, which claim 11 depends from, there is no recitation of any installation step. At
`
`most, there is only a receive step that receives the distributed content. Therefore, one
`
`of ordinary skill in the art would not know which limitation claim 11 is intended to further
`
`limit. As such, one of ordinary skill in the art would not know the metes and bounds of
`
`the claimed limitations and thus renders claim 11 indefinite.
`
`Claim 12 is rejected to as having the same deficiencies as the claim it depends
`
`from.

`
`The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all
`
`obviousnessrejections setforth 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 102 of thistitle, 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.
`
`10.
`
`Claims 1-4, 6, 7, 9-13, 15, 16, and 18 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being
`
`unpatentable over Cammarata, (US 20140337752 A1) (hereinafter Cammarata) and in
`
`view of Sirpal et al., (US 20120084675 A1) (hereinafter Sirpal).
`
`Referring to claim 1, a method for remotely configuring and controlling a
`
`client device without user input at the client device (“The controller (210) is
`
`configured to receive commands originating from a remote user interface through a
`
`device communication interface (730, 830) for configuring the mobile communications
`
`terminal (200) and to provide accessto the plurality of applications, files and settings for
`
`the commands received through the device communication interface (730, 830)’;
`
`Abstract), the method comprising:
`
`receiving, at the client device (mobile device; § [0005]), distributed content
`
`from a device controller (remote device; | [0005]) located remotely from the client
`
`device, the distributed content comprising first display content and second
`
`display content (“providing a system for two-level user interface for a mobile device
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 16/944,650
`Art Unit: 2142
`
`Page 6
`
`wherein the user interface comprises a first user interface and a second user interface,
`
`wherein the first interface is implemented on the mobile device and is adapted to only
`
`offer a user a set of basic functions (such as voice call, browse images, take images,
`
`receive and send messages), but does not allow a user to adjust settings for the mobile
`
`device, wherein the second interface is adapted to be executed on a remote device and
`
`to allow a second user (or the same user) to also adjust the settings of the mobile
`
`device, and wherein the mobile device is configured to receive commands, data and/or
`
`settings from the second interface and seamlessly and automatically install such
`
`commands, data or settings on the mobile device”; | [0005]; “the two-level user
`
`interface is configured to...remotely manage the desktop from a web interface,... push
`
`information and data to reinforce the link between generations (photos, events,
`
`calendars...)”; | [0121]).
`
`Cammarata teaches receiving pushed information and data for at least photos
`
`and calendars from a remote device to the mobile device. Cammarata further teaches
`
`the mobile device, which can be various mobile communications terminal ({ [0044], fig.
`
`1), executes applications corresponding to photos and calendars ( [0045], [0112], and
`
`fig. 2). However, Cammarata does not explicitly teach displaying the...display
`
`content onafirst screen of the client device...; and displaying the...display
`
`content on a secondscreenof the client device...
`
`Sirpal teaches displaying the...display content on a first screen of the client
`
`device... (“A dual-screen user device and methods for revealing a combination of
`
`selected desktops and applications on single and dual screens are disclosed”; Abstract;
`
`“The device can be a communications device, such as a cellular telephone, or other
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 16/944,650
`Art Unit: 2142
`
`Page 7
`
`smart device. The device can include two screens that are oriented to provide several
`
`unique display configurations”; ¥ [0079]; “Now referring to FIG. 9A, the device 100 is
`
`illustrated again with the annunciator window 1100 that spans across both the primary
`
`and secondary screens 104 and 108.
`
`In this example, application A1 is running on
`
`page 1004”; { [0176], fig. 9A); and displaying the...display content on a second
`
`screen ofthe client device... (“while an application A2 is running on page 1006”; {
`
`[0176], fig. 9A).
`
`Cammarata and Sirpal are analogous art to the claimed invention because they
`
`are concerning with interface for a client device (i.e. same field of endeavor).
`
`It would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art before the
`
`effective filing date of the claimed invention having Cammarata and Sirpal before them
`
`to substitute two separate display screens that display two different applications of
`
`Sirpal for the single display screen of Cammarata. Because both Cammarata and
`
`Sirpal teach methodsof displaying content on display screen of a mobile device, it
`
`would have been obvious to one skilled in the art to substitute one known element for
`
`the other to achieve the predictable result of presenting content on display screen. The
`
`motivation to substitute would have been to enhancedversatility compared to
`
`conventional single display handheld computing device as suggested by Sirpal (4
`
`[0005}).
`
`Referring to claim 2, Cammarata further teaches the methodof claim 1, further
`
`comprising:
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 16/944,650
`Art Unit: 2142
`
`Page 8
`
`preventing, by an operating system on the client device, displaying on the
`
`first screen of the client device requests for user input at the client device(‘It is an
`
`object of the teachings of this application to overcome the problems listed above by
`
`providing a system for two-level user interface for a mobile device wherein the user
`
`interface comprisesa first user interface and a second user interface, wherein the first
`
`interface is implemented on the mobile device and is adaptedto only offer a user a set
`
`of basic functions (Such as voice call, browse images, take images, receive and send
`
`messages), but does not allow a user to adjust settings for the mobile device, wherein
`
`the second interface is adapted to be executed on a remote device and to allow a
`
`second user (or the same user) to also adjust the settings of the mobile device, and
`
`wherein the mobile device is configured to receive commands, data and/or settings from
`
`the second interface and seamlessly and automatically install such commands, data or
`
`settings on the mobile device and thereby possibly affecting also the first user
`
`interface”; ¥ [0005]; “In the exemplifying description below the first user interface is
`
`referred to as simplified user interface and the second interface is referred to as remote
`
`user interface”; ¥ [0006]; “This mobile application is a simplified interface that has been
`
`adapted for elderly and disabled people and is remotely configured through a Web
`
`interface based on a server application, the remote user interface. Family and other
`
`third parties can therefore update or push information and change applications
`
`seamlessly and remotely on the mobile device’; | [0022)).
`
`Referring to claim 3, Cammarata further teaches the methodof claim 2,
`
`wherein the operating system is a proprietary operating system that is modified
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 16/944,650
`Art Unit: 2142
`
`Page 9
`
`to execute specifically on the client device(“A two-level user interface as disclosed
`
`herein provides an easy way to create dedicated services based on the paradigm that a
`
`service is based on multiple universes (user interface desktops)...On each universe,
`
`applications (for example Android. TM. applications), links, widgets, title/status bar,
`
`bottom bar can be disposed’; ¥ [0111)).
`
`Referring to claim 4, Cammarata further teaches the methodof claim 1,
`
`wherein the distributed content includes installable content, the method further
`
`comprising:
`
`receiving, at the client device from the device controller, a time interval
`
`associated with the installable content (“In one embodiment the remote user
`
`interface application is arranged to synchronize with the simplified user interface of the
`
`mobile communications terminal as a remote user makes a change through the remote
`
`user interface. This ensures that the two user interfaces are properly synchronized at
`
`all times... It should be noted that synchronizations can be effected also at other times’;
`
`q [0107], fig. 13);
`
`installing, at the client device, the installable content without receiving any
`
`user inputat the client device to install the installable content(“FIG. 13 shows an
`
`example display view of a remote user interface on a remote terminal display 1310
`
`according to an embodiment...In the example of FIG. 13 the aspect and associated tabs
`
`displayed are: ACCOUNT, through which a remote user can change settings for an
`
`associated mobile communications terminal's account, such settings mayinclude
`
`services such as MMSfor example; APPLICATIONS, through which a remote user can
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 16/944,650
`Art Unit: 2142
`
`Page 10
`
`select applications by adding or deleting applications from a list of applications 1350 to
`
`be installed on the mobile communications terminal’; ¥ [0105], fig. 13); and
`
`displaying, based on the time interval, the installed content at least one of
`
`the first screen or the second screen (FIG. 12 showsa series of example display
`
`views of a mobile communications terminal 1200 according to one embodiment. FIG.
`
`12B shows an example of a display view being displayed on a display 1220.
`
`In this
`
`example view a group of available applications, represented by icons 1250, is being
`
`displayed. The display view also comprise tabs 1240 indicatingafiltering or sorting of
`
`the application group.
`
`In this example the applications are sorted into groupsrelated to
`
`HOME (such as basic mobile communications terminal functionality applications),
`
`LEISURE, HEALTH and SERVICE.
`
`Byselecting one of the tabs a user is allowed
`
`accessto different applications. The remote user interface provides a possibility to
`
`configure the tabs and which applications that are associated with each tab. The
`
`position that the tabs are to be displayed at on a display can also be configured through
`
`the remote user interface allowing a remote user to configure the user interface design
`
`of the mobile communications terminal’; ¥ [0097], fig. 12B; “The display views are
`
`designed to present data in an easy to overview manner so as not to be confusing. The
`
`display views are further designed to present and thereby offer access to only a subset
`
`of the available functionality of the mobile communications terminal by only displaying
`
`the subset consisting of selected applications and data”; J [0104], figs. 12A-C).
`
`Referring to claim 6, Cammarata teachesreceiving pushed information and data
`
`for at least photos and calendars from a remote device to the mobile device, which can
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 16/944,650
`Art Unit: 2142
`
`Page 11
`
`be various mobile communications terminal, executes applications corresponding to
`
`photos and calendars. However, Cammarata doesnot explicitly teach the first screen
`
`is oriented to face a first user and the second screenis oriented to face a second
`
`user.
`
`Sirpal further teaches teach the first screen is oriented to face a first user and
`
`the second screenis oriented to face a second user(“Device 100 can also be used
`
`in an "easel" position whichis illustrated in FIG. 11.
`
`In the "easel" position, screens 104
`
`and 108 are angled with respect to each other and facing outward with the edges of
`
`screens 104 and 108 substantially horizontal.
`
`In this position, device 100 can be
`
`configured to display information on both screens 104 and 108 to allow two usersto
`
`simultaneously interact with device 100”; ¢ [0090], fig. 11).
`
`Referring to claim 7, Cammarata teachesreceiving pushed information and data
`
`for at least photos and calendars from a remote device to the mobile device, which can
`
`be various mobile communications terminal, executes applications corresponding to
`
`photos and calendars. However, Cammarata doesnot explicitly teach the first display
`
`content is different from the seconddisplay content.
`
`Sirpal further teachesthefirst display contentis different from the second
`
`display content (application A1 is running on page 1004, while an application A2 is
`
`running on page 1006”; ¥ [0176], fig. 9A).
`
`Referring to claim 9, Cammarata further teaches the methodof claim 1,
`
`wherein the client device is pre-programmed to communicate with the device
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 16/944,650
`Art Unit: 2142
`
`Page 12
`
`controller when the client device connects to a network, the method further
`
`comprising:
`
`prior to receiving the distributed content, transmitting, by the client device
`
`to the device controller, a serial number associated with the client device,
`
`wherein the serial numberis associated with a customer accounton theclient
`
`device(“FIG. 6 shows a schematic overview of a computer network 500 according to
`
`an embodiment herein. A terminal 610, 620, such as the terminals 100, 200, 300, 400
`
`of FIGS. 1, 2, 3 and/or 4 is connected to the internet 630”;
`
`[0064], fig. 6; “The Internet
`
`630 is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard
`
`Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP--Transmission Control protocol/Internet Protocol)... The
`
`most prominent component of the Internet model is the Internet Protocol (IP), which
`
`provides addressing systems (IP addresses) for computers on the Internet”; ¥ [0066],
`
`fig. 6; “In the example of FIG. 13 the aspect and associated tabs displayed are:
`
`ACCOUNT,through which a remote user can change settings for an associated mobile
`
`communications terminal's account, such settings may include services such as MMS
`
`for example; APPLICATIONS,through which a remote user can select applications by
`
`adding or deleting applications fromalist of applications 1350 to be installed on the
`
`mobile communications terminal’;
`
`[0105], fig. 13. Examiner notes it is inherent that IP
`
`packets used in TCP/IP protocol includes IP addresses, which uniquely identifies each
`
`device, for the destination and the sender).
`
`Regarding claim 10, the instant claim recites the client device that performs the
`
`steps of the methodof claim 1; therefore, the same rationale of rejection is applicable.
`
`

`

`Application/Control Number: 16/944,650
`Art Unit: 2142
`
`Page 13
`
`However, claim 10 being a device claim includes additional elements of processor
`
`communicatively coupled to a first screen and a second screen. Sirpal further teaches
`
`such elements (“a common or shared touch screen controller 216 may be used to
`
`control each of the included touch sensitive screens 104 and 108...the functions of a
`
`touch screen controller 216 may be incorporated into other components, such as a
`
`processor 204”; ¥ [0097], fig. 2).
`
`Regarding claims 11-13, 15, 16, and 18, these claims recite the client device
`
`that performs the steps of the method of claims 2-4, 6, 7, and 9 respectively; therefore,
`
`the same rationale of rejection is applicable.
`
`11.
`
`Claims 8 and 17 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over
`
`Cammaratain view of Sirpal as applied to claims 1 and 10 above, and further in view of
`
`Meyer et al., (US 20140365561 A1) (hereinafter Meyer).
`
`Referring to claim 8, Cammarata in view of Sirpal teach receiving pushed
`
`information and data for at least photos and calendars from a remote device to the
`
`mobile device, which can be various mobile communications terminal, executes
`
`applications corresponding to photos and calendars, display the twodifferent
`
`applications on two different display screens. However, Cammarata in view of Sirpal do
`
`not explicitly teach determining whether a network connection exists between the
`
`client device and the device controller;
`

`
`determining whetheroff-line content is available to the client device; and
`

`
`the off-line content.
`
`Meyer teaches determining whether a network connection exists between
`
`the client device and the device controller;
`
`in response determining that the network connection does notexist,
`
`determining whetheroff-line content is available to the client device; and
`
`in responseto determining that the off-line content is available, retrieving
`
`the off-line content (“When a version of the resource on the remote server is preferred,
`
`the remote server is always checked for an updated version when network connection
`
`231 is available; otherwise, either the cached update or the localinstallation is used”; |
`
`[0032], fig. 2).
`
`Cammarata, Sirpal, and Meyer are analogous art to the claimed invention
`
`because they are concerning with interactions and interface betweena client device and
`
`a remote server (i.e. same field of endeavor).
`
`Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the
`
`effective filing date of the claimed invention having Cammarata in view of Sirpal and
`
`Meyer before them to modify the mobile device that receives pushed information and/or
`
`configuration of Cammarata in view of Sirpal to incorporate the function of using cached
`
`update when the network connection to the server is unavailable as taught by Meyer.
`
`One of ordinary skill in the art would have combined the elements as claimed by known
`
`methods as disclosed by Meyer ({ [0032], fig. 2), because the function of using cached
`
`

`
`update when the network connection to the server is unavailable does not depend on
`
`the mobile device that receives pushed information and/or configuration. That is the
`
`function of using cached update when the network connection to the server is
`
`unavailable performs the same function independent on whichinterfaceit is
`
`incorporated onto, and therefore, the result of the combination would have been
`
`predictable to one of ordinary skill in the art. The motivation to combine would have
`
`been to improve availability of the mobile device even when there is no network
`
`connection.
`
`Regarding claim 17, the instant claim recites the client device that performs the
`
`steps of the methodof claim 8; therefore, the same rationale of rejection is applicable.
`
`12.
`
`Claims 19 and 20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over
`
`Cammarata, (US 20140337752 A1) (hereinafter Cammarata) and in view of Agnetta et
`
`al., (US 20140337791 A1) (hereinafter Agnetta).
`
`Referring to claim 19, Cammarata teaches a method for remotely configuring
`
`and controlling a client device without user input at the client device (“The
`
`controller (210) is configured to receive commandsoriginating from a remote user
`
`interface through a device communication interface (730, 830) for configuring the mobile
`
`communications terminal (200) and to provide accessto the plurality of applications,

`
`interface (730, 830)”; Abstract), the method comprising:
`
`receiving, at the client device (mobile device; § [0005]), distributed content
`
`from a device controller (remote device; | [0005]) located remotely from the client
`
`device, the distributed content comprising first display content and second
`
`display content (“providing a system for two-level user interface for a mobile device
`
`wherein the user interface comprises a first user interface and a second user interface,
`
`wherein the first interface is implemented on the mobile device and is adapted to only
`
`offer a user a set of basic functions (such as voice call, browse images, take images,
`
`receive and send messages), but does not allow a user to adjust settings for the mobile
`
`device, wherein the second interface is adapted to be executed on a remote device and
`
`to allow a second user (or the same user) to also adjust the settings of the mobile
`
`device, and wherein the mobile device is configured to receive commands, data and/or
`
`settings from the second interface and seamlessly and automatically install such
`
`commands, data or settings on the mobile device’; ¢ [0005]; “the two-level user

`interface is configured to...remotely manage the desktop from a web interface,... push
`
`information and data to reinforce the link between generations (photos, events,
`
`calendars...)”; | [0121]).
`
`Cammarata teaches receiving pushed information and data for at least photos
`
`and calendars from a remote device to the mobile device. Cammarata further teaches
`
`the mobile device, which can be various mobile communications terminals having a
`
`touch display (4 [0044], fig. 1), executes applications corresponding to photos and
`
`calendars (§ [0045], [0112], and fig. 2). However, Cammarata doesnotexplicitly teach

`
`‘center Ul’ 302 on the display 102. Thereafter, a user performs a peek gesture to the
`
`left 304(1) by either rotating the device 100 in a counterclockwise manner when viewed
`
`from the top of the device and/or by moving a head of the user in corresponding or
`
`opposing manner. That is, because the device 100 identifies the peek gesture using the
`
`four corner cameras 104(1)-(4) in some instances, the device identifies the gesture
`
`304(1) by determining that the face or head of the user has changed relative to the
`
`position of the device and, thus, the user mayeither rotate the device and/or movehis
`
`or her headto the left in this example.
`
`In either case, identifying the change in the
`
`position of the user relative to the device causes the device to perform an ‘operation A’.
`
`This operation may include surfacing new or additional content, moving or altering
`

`other type of operation’; ¥ [0129], fig. 3).
