`
`DETAILED ACTION
`
`Notice ofPre-AIA or AIA Status
`
`1.
`
`The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first
`
`inventor to file provisions of the AIA.
`
`Speafication
`
`2.
`
`The lengthy specification has not been checked to the extent necessary to determine the
`
`presence of all possible minor errors. Applicant’s cooperation is requested in correcting any errors
`
`of which applicant may become aware in the specification.
`
`3.
`
`The disclosure is objected to under 37 CFR 1.71, as being so incomprehensible as to
`
`preclude a reasonable search of the prior art by the examiner. For example, the following items are
`
`not understood:
`
`a.
`
`Page 2 lines 23—25: “. .. requesting a first captured image captured at the first timing
`
`and a second captured image captured at the second timing by the camera from the
`
`camera, to the camera, based on the predetermined notification transmitted from the
`
`camera
`
`(emphasis added).”
`
`b.
`
`Page 27 lines 6—8: “. .. Smartphone 50 generates an acquisition request of the pain
`
`of two captured images captured at the point of time which is a target of the before—and—
`
`after notification
`
`(emphasis added).”
`
`c.
`
`Page 30 line 3: “. .. requests the live video of camera 30A to camera 30A
`
`(emphasis added) .”

`
`Applicant is required to submit an amendment which clarifies the disclosure so that the
`
`examiner may make a proper comparison of the invention with the prior art.
`
`Applicant should be careful not to introduce any new matter into the disclosure (i.e., matter
`
`which is not supported by the disclosure as originally filed).
`
`A shortened statutory period for reply to this action is set to expire TWO (2) MONTHS
`
`from the mailing date of this letter.

`
`Abstract
`
`4.
`
`Applicant is reminded of the proper content of an abstract of the disclosure.
`
`A patent abstract is a concise statement of the technical disclosure of the patent and should
`
`include that which is new in the art to which the invention pertains. The abstract should not refer to
`
`purported merits or speculative applications of the invention and should not compare the invention
`
`with the prior art.
`
`If the patent is of a basic nature, the entire technical disclosure may be new in the art, and
`
`the abstract should be directed to the entire disclosure. If the patent is in the nature of an
`
`improvement in an old apparatus, process, product, or composition, the abstract should include the
`
`technical disclosure of the improvement. The abstract should also mention by way of example any
`
`preferred modifications or alternatives.
`
`Where applicable, the abstract should include the following: (1) if a machine or apparatus, its
`
`organization and operation; (2) if an article, its method of making; (3) if a chemical compound, its
`
`identity and use; (4) ifa mixture, its ingredients; (5) ifa process, the steps.
`
`Extensive mechanical and design details of an apparatus should not be included in the
`
`abstract. The abstract should be in narrative form and generally limited to a single paragraph within
`
`the range of 50 to 150 words in length.
`
`See MPEP § 608.01 (b) for guidelines for the preparation of patent abstracts.
`
`5.
`
`The abstract of the disclosure is objected to because the range of words is more than 150.
`
`Correction is required. See MPEP § 608.01(b).

`
`Claims 1-7 are objected to because of the following informalities:
`
`Claim Objections
`
`a.
`
`Re. Claims 1, 7: Neither independent claims appear to have a preamble. Terms such
`
`as comprising or consisting that indicate a preamble appear to be missing.
`
`b.
`
`Re. Claims 2-6: The word “Claim” should not be capitalized.
`
`Appropriate correction is required.
`
`Claim Rejections - 35 USC§ 112
`
`7.
`
`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—AIA), second paragraph:
`The specification shall conclude with one or more claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming
`the subject matter which the applicant regards as his invention.
`
`8.
`
`Claims 1-7 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre—AIA), 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—AIA the applicant regards as the invention.
`
`9.
`
`Claims 1, 7 recite the limitation “. .. requesting a first captured image captured at the first
`
`timing and a second captured image captured at the second timing by the camera from the
`
`camera, to the camera, based on the predetermined notification transmitted from the camera
`
`(emphasis added).” The Examiner is uncertain if the bolded features of the limitaton are referred to
`
`multiple cameras or a singular camera. For the purposes of examination, the limitation will be
`
`interpreted as “. .. requesting a first captured image captured at the first timing and a second
`
`captured image captured at the second timing by the camera from—the—eamerarte—the—eamera, based
`
`on the predetermined notification transmitted from the camera ... (emphasis added).”
`
`There is insufficient antecedent basis for this limitation in the claim.

`Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
`
`10.
`
`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:
`
`A person shall be entitled to a patent unless —
`
`(a)(1) the claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or in public use, on sale or
`otherwise available to the public before the effective filing date of the claimed invention.

`
`Claim(s) 1, 7 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1) as being anticipated by Smith et al.,
`
`hereinafter referred to as Smith (US 2016 / 0105644 A1).
`
`As per claim 1, Smith discloses a monitoring camera system (2 6., 7 00) including at least one

`Claim Rejections - 35 U5C§103
`
`12.
`
`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.
`
`11.
`
`Claim 5 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Smith in view of view of
`
`Borg (us 6,313,872 B1).
`
`As per claim 5, Smith discloses the system of Claim 3, wherein the camera discontinues
`
`processing of deteefi-ng—t—he—mot—ren—eft—he—persefi [camera function] until a second predetermined
`
`time period elapses from the first timing and resumes processing of deteeting—the—metien [camera
`
`function] after the second predetermined time period has elapsed from the first timing (Saar/9:

`
`However, Smith does not explicitly disclose “. .. discontinues processing of detecting the
`
`motion of the person until a second predetermined time period elapses from the first timing and
`
`resumes processing of detecting the motion after the second predetermined time period has elapsed
`
`from the first timing.”
`
`

`

`Application/ Control Number: 16/129,057
`Art Unit: 2488
`
`Page 10
`
`Further, Borg is in the field of detecting people (Borg: col 1, lines 5—1 1) and teaches
`
`discontinues processing of detecting a motion of a person until a second predetermined time period
`
`elapses from a first timing and resumes processing of detecting the motion after the second
`
`predetermined time period has elapsed from the first timing (Bag: 5012, [Mes 35-52;Afi Mfmred armor)"

`
`Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective
`
`filing date of the claimed invention, and having the teachings of Smith and Borg before him or her,
`
`to modify the motion detection system of Smith to include the discontinue processing feature as
`
`described in Borg. The motivation for doing so would have been to improve reduction in power by
`
`providing power—conserving means which turns on power to the camera and the processing and
`
`communication circuits only when they are being used (Bag: to! 7, [Mes 58-67)

`
`Claim 6 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Smith in view of view of
`
`Desai et al., hereinafter referred to as Desai (US 2013/0329100 A1).
`
`As per claim 6, Smith discloses the system of Claim 1, wherein the first captured image and
`
`the second captured image are displayed side—by—siele in the display of the mobile communication
`
`terminal (Smit/o: [0734], [07 74], Figure; 6A-6F, 8B; T/oe cupi‘ureo’ imugec ure diipiuyeo’ ou t/oe user’s mobile
`
`deuice commuuicui‘iou deuice 703).
`
`However, Smith does not explicitly disclose “. .. wherein the first captured image and the
`
`second captured image are displayed side by side.”
`
`Further, Desai is in the field of capturing images (Desai: D) and teaches wherein the first
`
`captured image and the second captured image are displayed side by side (Decui: [0053], Figure 4A;
`
`Imugec ure captured uuo’ diipiuyeo’ iu u cide-[ay-cio’e uiem).
`
`Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective
`
`filing date of the claimed invention, and having the teachings of Smith and Desai before him or her,
`
`to modify the mobile device of Smith to include the side—by—side display feature as described in
`
`Desai. The motivation for doing so would have been to improve image rendering by providing
`
`continous viewing of images in a single display (Decui: [0003]).

`
`Claim 2 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Smith in view of Maggi et
`
`al., hereinafter referred to as Maggi (US 2006/0190750 A1).
`
`As per claim 2, Smith discloses the system of Claim 1 (Saar/9: Abstraaj, whereindhe—seeo-nel
`
`
`
`However, Smith does not explicitly disclose “. .
`
`. wherein the second timing is a timing at
`
`which detection of the movement of the person in the camera has ended.”
`
`Further Maggi is in the field of motion detection (Maggi: [0006]) and teaches wherein a
`
`second timing is a timing at which detection of a movement of a person in a camera has ended

`
`Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective
`
`filing date of the claimed invention, and having the teachings of Smith and Maggi before him or her,
`
`to modify the motion detection system of Smith to include the no motion detection feature as
`
`described in Maggi. The motivation for doing so would have been to improve motion detection by
`
`adding a suitable time delay between captured images (Maggi: [0046]).

`
`Claim 4 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Smith in View of Maggi
`
`in further View of Borg (US 6,313,872 B1).
`
`As per claim 4, Smith—Maggi disclose the system of Claim 2, wherein the camera
`
`discontinues processing of deteefing—the—motron—ofithe—person [camera function] until a second
`
`predetermined time period elapses from the first timing and resumes processing of deteet—i-ng—Ehe
`
`motion [camera function] after the second predetermined time period has elapsed from the first
`
`timing (Saar/9: [0093]; Camera a’z'yeaatz'aaeypraeem'ag [7} operating 2% a Ileep n‘ate m wepredetermined timeperz'aa’

`
`However, Smith—Maggi do not explicitly disclose “. .. discontinues processing of detecting
`
`the motion of the person until a second predetermined time period elapses from the first timing and
`
`resumes processing of detecting the motion after the second predetermined time period has elapsed
`
`from the first timing.”
`
`Further, Borg is in the field of detecting people (Borg: col 1, lines 5—1 1) and teaches
`
`discontinues processing of detecting a motion of a person until a second predetermined time period
`
`elapses from a first timing and resumes processing of detecting the motion after the second
`
`predetermined time period has elapsed from the first timing (Borg: e012, [Mes 35-52;Aa z'r/frarea’ remarfi’

`
`Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective
`
`filing date of the claimed invention, and having the teachings of Smith—Maggi and Borg before him
`
`or her, to modify the motion detection system of Smith—Maggi to include the discontinue processing
`
`feature as described in Borg. The motivation for doing so would have been to improve reduction in
`
`power by providing power—conserving means which turns on power to the camera and the
`
`processing and communication circuits only when they are being used (Bag: to! 7, [M63 58-67)
