Docket No. BYTL23314PCTUS 0 8

OFFICE ACTION:
Notice of Pre-AIA  or AIA  Status
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
Response to Arguments
Arguments filed 7 March 2024 have been fully considered, but are not persuasive. Applicant argues that Lee fails to provide the newly claimed subject matter, particularly that the external device does not perform calculation of secondary coordinates, nor provide the ‘touch type’ within the data communicated between devices. The Office disagrees. First, [0067] discloses the ‘touch type’ (e.g., a capacitive change is detected to indicate a type of touch. Further, [0109], to which applicant quotes, goes on to say “the external display device 200 may apply the user input applied to the electronic device 100, to the screen 20 being output by that the display 210 by receiving and processing the second coordinate value”, which allows for the external device to receive and process the touch coordinates received from the first device – in order to allow touch operation to occur at the same location on the external device. Therefore, for the touch to be the same on both displayed GUIs, each would have to be proportional to the second devices’ screen. Additionally, claim 1 does not require the external device to perform the ‘conversion’, only that such information received is determined “according to” the information determined on the second device. As such, newly amend claims continue to be read on by the Lee disclosure.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
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 (i.e., changing from AIA  to pre-AIA ) 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.
The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:

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 (i.e., changing from AIA  to pre-AIA ) 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.
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth 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, 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.
The factual inquiries for establishing a background for determining obviousness under 35 U.S.C. 103 are summarized as follows:
1. Determining the scope and contents of the prior art.
2. Ascertaining the differences between the prior art and the claims at issue.
3. Resolving the level of ordinary skill in the pertinent art.
4. Considering objective evidence present in the application indicating obviousness or nonobviousness.
Claim(s) 5-6 and 26 -27 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Lee in view of Yang (CN 108255398).
Regarding claim 5, the rejection of claim 4 is incorporated herein. While Lee is able to determine the target coordinates based on the landscape or portrait rotation of second device 100, it is not explicit as to, but Yang disclose:

Regarding claim 6, the rejection of claim 4 is incorporated herein. While Lee is able to determine the target coordinates based on the landscape or portrait rotation of second device 100, it is not explicit as to, but Yang disclose:
the second preset rule is TX=Width*OY, TY=Height*(1-OX), wherein TX is the target width coordinate, Width is the width of the screen of the first device, OY is the proportional height coordinate of the touch point, TY is the target height coordinate, Height is the height of the screen of the first device, and OX is the proportional width coordinate of the touch point (see pg. 5-6, where the dimensions of a smaller screen can be transformed to match the coordinates of the larger screen in proportion, thus would have been obvious to try by one of ordinary skill in the art, prior to applicant’s effective filing date, since there are a finite number of identified, predictable potential solutions (e.g., various equations to arrive at a proportional alignment of a target coordinates between displays) to be pursued by one of ordinary skill in the art with a reasonable expectation of success).
Regarding claims 26-27, claims 26-27 are rejected under the same rationale as claims 5-6, respectively.

to the size or area of the display 210 of the external display device 200 to provide the second coordinate value to the external display device 200.
As such, the external display device 200 may apply the user input applied to the electronic device 100, to the screen 20 being output by that the display 210 by receiving and processing the second coordinate value" (see Par. [0109] of Lee). Lee further discloses, "For example, when the electronic device 100 is mounted on the mediation device 300 in FIG. 2 in
a first orientation (e.
g.,
landscape
),
... when the orientation of the electronic device 100 is changed to
a second orientation (e.
g
., portrait
),
the processor 150 may reduce the graphical user interface 30 in the central region of the active region of the electronic device 100, based on the first orientation and the second orientation" (see Par. [0133] of Lee).
Firstly, although Lee indicates that the electronic device 100 may detect the electrical characteristic change (e.g., capacitance variation) to receive user input, the electrical characteristic change in Lee simply indicates a mechanism of applying the user's input on the screen of the electronic device, rather than a type of the touch operation performed by the user, as recited in amended claim 1. Amended claim 1 specifies that the touch type indicates whether a type of the touch operation from the user is a single-finger touch type or a multi-finger touch type. Thus, the electrical characteristic change in Lee is
not equivalent to the touch type in amended claim 1. Further, Lee discloses that the second coordinate value passed from the electronic device 100 to the external display device 200 is the coordinate value for the external display device 200. As a result, this second coordinate value cannot be regarded as being equivalent to the proportional width coordinate and the proportional height coordinate of the touch point on the screen of the second device. Thus, Lee does not disclose or suggest at least the above distinguishing feature a of amended claim 1.
Secondly, regarding the operation of the electronic device 100 (which is alleged to be equivalent to the second device of the present application) in Lee, the electronic device 100 detects inputs of the user as the first coordinate value, performs the conversion from the first coordinate value to the second coordinate value corresponding to the size or area of the external display device 200 (which is alleged to be equivalent to the first device of the present application), and provides the second coordinate value to the external display device 200 so as to enable the display of the user's input on the external display device 200. Thus, in Lee, the coordinate value passed from the electronic device 100 to the external display device 200 is the second coordinate value for the external display device 200 rather than the first coordinate value for the electronic device 100, and the conversion of coordinate values is clearly performed by the electronic device 100. However, according to the configuration of amended claim 1, the coordinate position passed from the second device to the first device is the coordinate position of the touch point on the screen of the second device rather than the first device, and the conversion is performed by the first device.
Further, as indicated by the Examiner on page 2 of the Office action, the external display device 200 in Lee would receive and process the second coordinate value. However, such processing is based on the second coordinate value which has already been adapted to the size or area of the external display device 200. Possibly, there could be other processing for applying the user input on the external display device 200, but it is clearly unnecessary for the external display device 200 to perform coordinate conversion again. Thus, Lee does not disclose or suggest at least the above distinguishing feature b of amended claim 1.
Therefore, Applicant respectfully submits that Lee fails to disclose or suggest the above recited features a and b in combination with the remaining features of amended claim 1. Accordingly, Applicant respectfully submits that amended claim 1 is not anticipated by or obvious over the disclosure of Lee, and the claim is in condition for allowance.
Claims 8 and 22 have been amended in a similar manner as amended claim 1, and thus claims 8 and 22 are also in condition for allowance for similar reasons.
Claims 2-4, 7, and 29 depend from claim 1 and thus are also in condition for allowance at least for the reason of dependence from an allowable claim.
Claims 9, 10, 21, 28, and 30 depend from claim 8 and thus are also in condition for allowance at least for the reason of dependence from an allowable claim.
Claims 23-25 depend from claim 22 and thus are also in condition for allowance at least for the reason of dependence from an allowable claim.
Accordingly, for at least the reasons set forth above, withdrawal of the rejection under 35 U.S.C. 102 is respectfully requested.
Rej
ections under 35 U.S.C.
#
Claims 5, 6, 26, and 27 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Lee in view of Chinese Reference No. CN 108255398 (Yang et al., hereinafter Yang).
Applicant respectfully traverses the rejection.
Yang discloses a mobile device control method. Specifically, Yang discloses, "the mobile device receives the first coordinate value associated with the user's touch screen operation from the car, and the mobile device determines the second coordinate value according to the first coordinate value and the conversion relationship" (see Pars. [0069]- [0070] of Yang). Yang further discloses, "the phone can obtain its own screen size information, and according to the screen size information received from the car and its own screen size information to determine the coordinate conversion relationship between the car screen and the phone screen" (see Par. [0075] of Yang). Yang further discloses, "In particular, the conversion between the first and second coordinate systems (i.e. coordinate conversion) may include coordinate rotation and/or coordinate scaling" (see Par. [0076] of Yang). Yang further discloses, "If the available car screen size is c*d (c, d
is the number of pixels), the scaling value may be, for example, (c/a, d/b)" (see Par. [0084] of Yang).
As indicated by the above disclosure, Yang discloses that the mobile device calculates the coordinate conversion relationship between the car screen and the phone screen according to the screen size information received from the car and the phone's own screen size information, and then converts the first coordinate value received from the car associated with the user's touch screen operation into the second coordinate value of the mobile device according to the above coordinate conversion relationship.
However, Yang discloses sending the actual position information at the car from the car to the mobile device. In contrast, in amended claim 1, proportional position information including a proportional width coordinate and a proportional height coordinate of the touch point is sent from the second device to the first device. Therefore, Yang fails to disclose the coordinate position included in the touch information as recited in amended claim 1. Furthermore, Yang mentions nothing about the touch type of amended claim 1, which indicates whether a type of the touch operation from the user is a single- finger touch type or a multi-finger touch type.
Therefore, Yang fails to disclose at least the "touch type" and the "coordinate position of a touch point on a screen of the second device" as recited in amended claim 1. Consequently, Yang fails to disclose the "touch information" including both and limitations related to the "touch information," such as the acquiring of the touch information (see the above distinguishing feature a) and the conversion of the coordinate position of the touch point on the screen of the second device into a target position on the screen of the first device (see the above distinguishing feature b).
Based on the foregoing, Yang fails to cure the deficiencies of Lee, and thus Applicant respectfully submits that amended claim 1 is not anticipated by or obvious over the disclosure of Lee in view of Yang.
Claims 8 and 22 have been amended in a similar manner as amended claim 1, and thus claims 8 and 22 are also in condition for allowance for similar reasons.
Claims 5 and 6 ultimately depend from claim 1 and thus are also in condition for allowance at least for the reason of dependence from an allowable claim.
Claims 26 and 27 ultimately depend from claim 22 and thus are also in condition for allowance at least for the reason of dependence from an allowable claim.
Accordingly, for at least the reasons set forth above, withdrawal of the rejection under 35 U.S.C. 103 is respectfully requested.
