DETAILED 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 .
Reasons for Allowance
The following is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance: each of the independent claim 1, 19 and 21 recite, in some variation, obtain first data from a first device, the first device including a monitoring data obtaining device; obtain second data from a second device, the second device including an access switch device or a smart lock, the second data including at least one of operation instructions of the second device, identity information of an operator of the second device, or a password of the second device; associate and process the first data and the second data by establishing an association relationship between the first data and the corresponding second data based on an association identifier carried by the first data and/or the second data, wherein the association relationship includes: the first data and the second data have a same association identifier, one party of the first data and the second data carries the association identifier of the other party of the first data and the second data, or both the first data and the second data is retrievable based on the same association identifier; encapsulate the processed first data and second data in a data packet; and store the data packet in a storage device, wherein the association identifier includes at least one of: an ID of the first device or the second device, a factory number of the first device or the second device, an event tag of the first device or the second device, or a customized association tag of the first device or the second device.
In the closest prior art of record, Siminoff teaches using data acquired by the first and second device to determine if a person is the same in between the devices in ¶[0281].
However, Siminoff fails to teach or suggest associate and process the first data and the second data by establishing an association relationship between the first data and the corresponding second data based on an association identifier carried by the first data and/or the second data, wherein the association relationship includes: the first data and the second data have a same association identifier, one party of the first data and the second data carries the association identifier of the other party of the first data and the second data, or both the first data and the second data is retrievable based on the same association identifier; encapsulate the processed first data and second data in a data packet; and store the data packet in a storage device, wherein the association identifier includes at least one of: an ID of the first device or the second device, a factory number of the first device or the second device, an event tag of the first device or the second device, or a customized association tag of the first device or the second device, as required by the independent claims.
Kim discloses encapsulating the first and second data into a data packet in ¶[0049]
However, even if combined with Siminoff, Kim fails to teach or suggest associate and process the first data and the second data by establishing an association relationship between the first data and the corresponding second data based on an association identifier carried by the first data and/or the second data, wherein the association relationship includes: the first data and the second data have a same association identifier, one party of the first data and the second data carries the association identifier of the other party of the first data and the second data, or both the first data and the second data is retrievable based on the same association identifier; encapsulate the processed first data and second data in a data packet; and store the data packet in a storage device, wherein the association identifier includes at least one of: an ID of the first device or the second device, a factory number of the first device or the second device, an event tag of the first device or the second device, or a customized association tag of the first device or the second device, as required by the independent claims. The remaining prior art of record does not overcome the above deficiencies.
Because the cited art of records does not teach or suggest each and every feature of independent claims 1, 19 and 21, these claims are allowed. The remaining claims are allowed by virtue of their dependency on the independent claims.
Any comments considered necessary by applicant must be submitted no later than the payment of the issue fee and, to avoid processing delays, should preferably accompany the issue fee.  Such submissions should be clearly labeled “Comments on Statement of Reasons for Allowance.”

Emphases added.
Applicant respectfully submits that Siminoff and Kim, either alone or in
combination, do not teach or suggest the claimed combination including at least the
above features; neither do they render obvious the claimed invention.
1) First, Siminoff does not disclose the "second device" or the "second data"
recited in amended claim 1.
Siminoff relates to systems and methods for augmenting and sharing data from
audio/video (A/V) recording and communication devices. Siminoff, abstract.
Paragraphs [0253], [0256] and [0281] of Siminoff recites:
[0253] The system 1000 may also include security devices in
addition to the A/V recording and communication devices 1002. For
instance, the system 1100 may further include a smart-home hub device
1036 (which may alternatively be referred to herein as the hub device
1036) connected to the user's network 1008. The smart-home hub
device 1036 (also known as a home automation hub, gateway device,
etc.), may comprise any device that facilitates communication with
and control of the one or more A/V recording and communication
devices 1002 as well as other security device 1038, including sensor
1038 (a) and/or automation device 1038 (b). For example, the smart- home hub device 1036 may be a component of a home automation
system installed at a property. In some embodiments, the AN recording
and communication devices 1002, the sensors 1038 (a), and/or the
automation devices 1038 (b) may communicate with the smart-home hub device 1036 directly and/or indirectly via the user's network 1008
and/or the network (Internet/PSTN) 1010. In some of the present
embodiments, the A/V recording and communication devices 1002,
the sensors 1038 (a) and/or the automation devices 1038 (b) may, in
addition to or in lieu of communicating with the smart-home hub device
1036, communicate with the client devices 1004, 1006 and/or one or more of the components of the network of servers/backend devices
1030 directly and/or indirectly via the user's network 1008 and/or the
network (Internet/PSTN) 1010.
[0256] The one or more automation devices 1038(b) may
include, for example, at least one of an outdoor lighting system, an indoor lighting system, and indoor/outdoor lighting system, a temperature control
system (e.g., a thermostat), a shade/blind control system, a locking
control system (e.g., door lock, window lock, etc.), a home
entertainment automation system (e.g., TV control, sound system control,
etc.), an electronic device, an irrigation control system, a wireless signal range extender (e.g., a Wi-Fi range extender, a Z-Wave range extender, etc.), a doorbell chime, a barrier control device (e.g., an automated door
hinge), a smart doormat, and/or other automation devices.
[0281] To determine the one or more comments, the data analysis
module 1182 and/or the comment determination module 1184 may also
configure the processor 1172 to consider additional data. For example, the data analysis module 1182 may configure the processor 1172 to compare
the input data, e.g., the first image data 1060, the first audio data 1062,
and/or the first text data 1064 to data from the second A/V recording and
communication device 1012, including but not limited to the second image data 1090, the second text data 1094, and/or the second audio data 1092.
In a non-limiting example of this disclosure, the data analysis module 1182
may configure the processor 1172 to analyze the first image data 1060
with the analysis resulting in recognition of a person in the image
data. The data analysis module 1182 may then configure the processor 1172 to compare characteristics of the person to the second image
data 1090, e.g., to determine whether the person was also included in
the second image data 1090 captured by the second A/V recording and communication device 1012. Having determined that the person was (or was not) found in the second image data 1090 may inform the
comments 1186. For example, the comment determination module 1184 may determine one or more comments 1186 that indicate that the person
in the first image data 1060 was also spotted in the second image data
1090 at a different time (and, in some instances, include in the comment(s)
contextual information associated with the second image data 1090, e.g.,
a location, time, or the like). (emphases added)
In rejection of "obtain second data from a second device" recited in previous
claim 1, the Office Action may consider the "second A/V recording and communication
device" in Siminoff as the "second device" in claim 1. Office Action, page 4. In rejection
of "the second device including an access switch device or a smart lock" recited in
previous claim 1, the Office Action may consider the "automation device 1038(b)" in
Siminoff as the "second device" in claim 1. Office Action, page 5. However, the
"automation device 1038(b)" and the "second A/V recording and communication device"
in Siminoff are different devices (see FIGs. 47-49 and the quoted part of Siminoff recited
above), the Office Action's characterizations of "second device" in previous claim 1 are
not identical.
If the "second A/V recording and communication device" in Siminoif is considered
as the "second device" in claim 1, then the "automation device 1038(b)" in Siminoff
should not be considered as the "second device" in claim 1, since the "second A/V
recording and communication device" and the "automation device 1038(b)" in Siminoff are totally different devices. Therefore, if it is considered that Siminoff discloses "obtain second data from a second device" recited in claim 1, then Siminoff dose not disclose "the second device including an access switch device or a smart lock" recited in claim 1.
If the "automation device 1038(b)" in Siminoff is considered as the "second device" in claim 1, then the "second A/V recording and communication device" in Siminoff should not be considered as the "second device" in claim 1, since the "second A/V recording and communication device" and the "automation device 1038(b)" in Siminoff are totally different devices. Besides, Siminoff is totally silent about obtaining any data from the "automation device 1038(b)", not to mention "associate and process" the "first data" (e.g., image data generated by the first audio/video (AV) recording and communication device 1002 in Siminoff) and the "second data" from the "automation device 1038(b)". Therefore, if it is considered that Siminoff discloses "the second device including an access switch device or a smart lock" recited in claim 1, then Siminoff dose not disclose "obtain second data from a second device" and "associate and process the first data and the second data" recited in claim 1.
2) Second, Siminoff does not disclose "the second data including at least one of
operation instructions of the second device, identity information of an operator
of the second device, or a password of the second device" recited in
amended claim 1.
Paragraph [0262] of Siminoff recites:
[0262] ...the backend server 1030 may search the output
signal 1096 to find a match of the entity of interest identified in the share
signal, as further described below. For example, in some embodiments,
the backend server 1030 may receive first image data 1060 of an entity
of interest and may search and find a match of the entity of interest
in the second image data 1090. In a further example, in some
embodiments, the backend server 1030 may receive a text- based 1064 description of an entity of interest and may search and find a match of the entity of interest in second image data 1090. In
some embodiments, the backend server 1030 may first transmit to a second client device 1014, 1016 associated with the second A/V
recording and communication device 1012, e.g., via a second hub device,
a request to check the second image data 1090 for an entity of interest
before searching the second image data 1090, as further described below.
Clearly, in Siminoff, the entity of interest is found and matched in the second
image data. However, Siminoff is totally silent about "the second data including at least one of operation instructions of the second device, identity information of an operator of the second device, or a password of the second device" recited in amended claim 1.
3) Third, Siminoff does not disclose "associate and process the first data and the
second data by establishing an association relationship between the first data and the corresponding second data based on an association identifier carried
by the first data and/or the second data" and "the association identifier
includes at least one of: an ID of the first device or the second device, a
factory number of the first device or the second device, an event tag of the
first device or the second device, or a customized association tag of the first
device or the second device" recited in amended claim 1.
In rejection of previous claim 35 which is now incorporated into claim 1, the Office Action may consider the "identification of a person or a license plate number of a vehicle" of Siminoff as corresponding to the "association identifier" of amended claim 1. However, the "identification of a person" of Siminoff is different from the "ID of the first
device or the second device" of amended claim 1. Besides, the "license plate number of a vehicle" of Siminoff is different from the "factory number of the first device or the second device" of amended claim 1, since the "license plate number" is different from the "factory number", and the "vehicle" is different from "the first device or the second device". In addition, Siminoff is silent about the "event tag of the first device or the second device" and the "customized association tag of the first device or the second device" recited in amended claim 1. Therefore, Siminoff does not disclose the "association identifier" of amended claim 1, not to mention the feature "associate and process the first data and the second data by establishing an association relationship between the first data and the corresponding second data based on an association identifier carried by the first data and/or the second data" recited in amended claim 1.
4) Fourth, Siminoff does not disclose "the association relationship includes: the
first data and the second data have a same association identifier, one party of the first data and the second data carries the association identifier of the other
party of the first data and the second data, or both the first data and the
second data is retrievable based on the same association identifier" recited in
amended claim 1.
As stated above, Siminoff does not disclose the "association identifier" of amended claim 1, further, Siminoff does not disclose "the association relationship includes: the first data and the second data have a same association identifier, one party of the first data and the second data carries the association identifier of the other
party of the first data and the second data, or both the first data and the second data is retrievable based on the same association identifier" recited in amended claim 1.
Applicant respectfully submits that Kim does not remedy the deficiencies of Siminoffset forth above with respect to amended claim 1. Kim is directed to a surveillance camera capable of outputting a video and a video transmission/reception system including the surveillance camera. Kim, abstract. Applicant respectfully submits that Kim does not disclose, inter alia, "obtain second data from a second device, the second device including an access switch device or a smart lock, the second data including at least one of operation instructions of the second device, identity information of an operator of the second device, or a password of the second device; associate and process the first data and the second data by establishing an association relationship between the first data and the corresponding second data based on an association identifier carried by the first data and/or the second data, wherein the association relationship includes: the first data and the second data have a same association identifier, one party of the first data and the second data carries the association identifier of the other party of the first data and the second data, or both the first data and the second data is retrievable based on the same association identifier", and "the association identifier includes at least one of: an ID of the first device or the second device, a factory number of the first device or the second device, an event tag of the first device or the second device, or a customized association tag of the first device or the second device" recited in amended claim 1.
It is we[l settled that establishing a prima facie case of obviousness requires that all claim limitations recited in a claim must be taught or suggested by the prior art. MPEP § 2143.03. Clearly, the cited references, Siminoff and Kim, either alone or in any combination, do not pass this muster. Thus, amended claim 1 is patentable over Siminoff in view of Kim.
Independent claims 19 and 21, as amended, although of different scope, recite similar features to claim 1, and thus, also are patentable for at least the reasons set forth above with respect to claim 1 and for the additional features cited therein.
Claims 2 and 4-5, 7-14 directly or ultimately depend from amended claim 1, and thus, also are patentable over Siminoff in view of Kim for the reasons set forth above and the additional features cited therein.
Dependent claim 5, as amended, recites: "integrate the association identifier related to the second data into the first data," and "integrate the association identifier related to the first data into the second data." Paragraph [0281] of Siminoff recites: "the data analysis module 1182 may configure the processor 1172 to analyze the first image data 1060 with the analysis resulting in recognition of a person in the image data. The data analysis module 1182 may then configure the processor 1172 to compare characteristics of the person to the second image data 1090, e.g., to determine whether the person was also included in the second image data 1090 captured by the second A/V recording and communication device 1012." However, Siminoff is totally silent about "integrate the association identifier related to the second data into the first data," and "integrate the association identifier related to the first data into the second data."
Kim does not remedy the deficiencies of Siminoff set forth above with respect to amended claim 5. Therefore, amended claim 5 is patentable over Siminoff in view of Kim.
Dependent claim 12, recites: "the second sensing signal being configured to indicate whether there is any person within a preset range of a display unit," and "control the display unit to be turned on or off based on the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal, wherein the first data is displayed when the display unit is turned on." Paragraph [0273] of Siminoff recites: "the first A/V recording and communication device 1002 may do some initial analysis, e.g., to identify an entity in first image data 1060 in the field of view of the first A/V recording and communication device 1002, but the first image data 1060 may be further processed by the backend server 1030, e.g., to determine additional attributes of the first image data 1060 and/or to compare the first image data 1060 to the second image data 1090, the additional image data 1160, and/or other data." Although Siminoff discloses "identify an entity in first image data 1060 in the field of view of the first A/V recording and communication device 1002", but the "field of view of the first A/V recording and communication device" is different from the "preset range of a display unit" recited in claim 12. In addition, Siminoff is totally silent about "control the display unit to be turned on or off based on the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal, wherein the first data is displayed when the display unit is turned on." Therefore, Siminoff does not disclose, inter alia, "the second sensing signal being configured to indicate whether there is any person within a preset range of a display unit," and "control the display unit to be turned on or
off based on the first sensing signal and the second sensing signal, wherein the first data is displayed when the display unit is turned on" recited in claim 12. Kim does not remedy the deficiencies of Siminoff set forth above with respect to claim 12. Therefore, claim 12 is patentable over Siminoff in view of Kim.
Claims 6 and 35 are cancelled, thereby rendering the rejection moot.
Therefore, Applicant respectfully requests that the Examiner reconsider and withdraw the rejection of claims 1-2, 4-14, 19, 21 and 35 under 35 U.S.C. 103. II.  Rejection Under 35 U.S.C. 103 under Siminoff and Han
Claims 17-18 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as allegedly being
unpatentable over Siminoff in view of Han. Applicant respectfully traverses the rejection.
As set forth above, Siminofffails to teach each element of amended claim 1.
Applicant respectfully submits that Han does not remedy the deficiencies of Siminoff set forth above with respect to amended claim 1.
Han is directed to an electronic apparatus including a camera configured to obtain a user image by capturing an image of a user. Han, abstract. Applicant respectfully submits that Han does not disclose, inter alia, "obtain second data from a second device, the second device including an access switch device or a smart lock, the second data including at least one of operation instructions of the second device, identity information of an operator of the second device, or a password of the second device; associate and process the first data and the second data by establishing an association relationship between the first data and the corresponding second data based on an association identifier carried by the first data and/or the second data,
wherein the association relationship includes: the first data and the second data have a same association identifier, one party of the first data and the second data carries the association identifier of the other party of the first data and the second data, or both the first data and the second data is retrievable based on the same association identifier", and "the association identifier includes at least one of: an ID of the first device or the second device, a factory number of the first device or the second device, an event tag of the first device or the second device, or a customized association tag of the first device or the second device" recited in amended claim 1. Accordingly, amended claim 1 is patentable over Siminoff in view of Han.
Claims 17-18 depend from independent amended claim 1, and thus include all the features thereof. Accordingly, claims 17-18 are also patentable over Siminoff in view of Han for the reasons set forth above with respect to amended claim 1, and the additional features cited therein.
Therefore, Applicant respectfully requests that the Examiner reconsider and
withdraw the rejection of claims 17-18 under 35 U.S.C. 103 over Siminoff in view of Han. IIl.  Rejection Under 35 U.S.C. 103 under Siminoff and Tan
Claims 33-34 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as allegedly being
unpatentable over Siminoff in view of Kim in further view of Tan. Applicant respectfully traverses the rejection.
As set forth above, Siminoff and Kim fail to teach each element of amended claim 1. Applicant respectfully submits that Tan does not remedy the deficiencies of Siminoffset forth above with respect to amended claim 1.
Tan is directed to a dynamic inclusion and exclusion of smart-home devices. Tan, abstract. Applicant respectfully submits that Tan does not disclose, inter alia, "obtain second data from a second device, the second device including an access switch device or a smart lock, the second data including at least one of operation instructions of the second device, identity information of an operator of the second device, or a password of the second device; associate and process the first data and the second data by establishing an association relationship between the first data and the corresponding second data based on an association identifier carried by the first data and/or the second data, wherein the association relationship includes: the first data and the second data have a same association identifier, one party of the first data and the second data carries the association identifier of the other party of the first data and the second data, or both the first data and the second data is retrievable based on the same association identifier", and "the association identifier includes at least one of: an ID of the first device or the second device, a factory number of the first device or the second device, an event tag of the first device or the second device, or a customized association tag of the first device or the second device" recited in amended claim 1. Accordingly, amended claim 1 is patentable over Siminoff in view of Kim in further view of Tan.
Claims 33-34 depend from independent amended claim 1, and thus include all the features thereof. Accordingly, claims 33-34 are also patentable over Siminoff in view of Kim in further view of Tan for the reasons set forth above with respect to amended claim 1, and the additional features cited therein.
Therefore, Applicant respectfully requests that the Examiner reconsider and
withdraw the rejection of claims 33-34 under 35 U.S.C. 103 over Siminoff in view of Kim in further view of Tan.
