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.
Conclusion


NEXT 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.

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).
Regarding claim 9, the rejection of claim 8 is incorporated herein. Lee further disclose:
the generating the corresponding touch information comprises: acquiring the touch type corresponding to the touch operation and the screen rotation direction of the second device; and generating, based on a preset touch event transfer protocol, the touch information according to the touch type, the coordinate position of the touch point and the screen rotation direction of the second device (see Fig. 3, 5, 9, 11; [0115, 0119, 0123, 0128, 0133]; where the ‘preset touch even transfer protocol’ is the touch information sent)

Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
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:
the first preset rule is TX=Width*OX, TY=Height*OY, wherein TX is the target width coordinate, Width is the width of the screen of the first device, OX is the proportional width coordinate of the touch point, TY is the target height coordinate, Height is the height of the screen of the first device, and OY is the proportional height 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 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.
