OFFICE ACTION:
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 .
Response to Arguments
Applicant’s arguments, see page 9-10, filed on 3/28/2025, with respect to Double Patenting rejection of claims 1-20 have been fully considered and are persuasive.  The Double Patenting rejection of claims 1-20 has been withdrawn.
Allowable Subject Matter
Claims 1-20 are allowed.
The following is an examiner’s statement of reasons for allowance:
The present invention describes an intercom communication system configured for one or more quick service restaurant drive-throughs, the drive-throughs including one or both of a menu board and a speaker post, the system comprising: an audio-order placement sub-system associated with one or both of the menu board and the speaker post, the audio-order placement sub-system comprising: a microphone configured to capture sound from a customer placing an order at or near one or both of the menu board and the speaker post, and to generate order information signals that represent the sound captured from the customer; an order-placement encoder configured to encode the order information signals to form order data packets; an order-placement decoder configured to decode restaurant data packets from a base station into restaurant signals; a speaker configured to generate restaurant sound based on the restaurant signals such that the generated restaurant sound is audible to the customer at or near one or both of the menu board and the speaker post; and an order-placement transceiver configured to (i) transmit the order data packets from the audio-order placement sub-system to the base station through a single pair of wires, and (ii) receive the restaurant data packets from the base station through the single pair of wires; wherein at least one of the order-placement encoder, the order-placement decoder, the speaker, and the order-placement transceiver is powered through the single pair of wires; the single pair of wires, wherein the single pair of wires is communicatively coupled between the audio-order placement sub-system and the base station; and the base station, the base station comprising: one or more base station transceivers configured to (i) receive the order data packets as transmitted through the single pair of wires by the order-placement transceiver of the audio-order placement sub-system, (ii) transmit data packets based on the order data packets to an audio-order receipt sub-system, (iii) receive the restaurant data packets from the audio-order receipt sub-system, and (iv) transmit the restaurant data packets through the single pair of wires to the order-placement transceiver of the audio-order placement sub-system.  The closest prior art, US Patent 11,778,005 B2 and 11,463,491 B2 discloses a same system, but were overcame by the terminal disclaimer filed on 3/28/2025.  Other closest prior art, O’Gwynn (US 2014/0279080 A1) discloses a similar system as shown in figure 2, but fails to disclose an audio-order placement sub-system comprising an order-placement transceiver configured to (i) transmit the order data packets from the audio-order placement sub-system to the base station through a single pair of wires, and (ii) receive the restaurant data packets from the base station through the single pair of wires; wherein at least one of the order-placement encoder, the order-placement decoder, the speaker, and the order-placement transceiver is powered through the single pair of wires.  This distinct feature has been added to independent claim 1, and similar feature has been added to independent claim 11, thus rendering claims 1-20 allowable.
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.”
