`
`supports the examiner’s argument of well-understood, routine, and conventionalactivities
`
`(WURC). Applicant respectfully disagrees.
`
`Applicantfirstly notes that Nasserbakhtet al. does not teach the secure management of
`
`biological information comprising dietary information as recited in the claim features. Although
`
`Nasserbakhtet al. mentions biological, this is with regards to biological checks and identification
`
`related to accessing the user device, e.g.
`
`to monitor cases “where the authorized user is under
`
`duress and is forced to provide the biological identification against his consent” (Nasserbakhtet
`
`al. col. 32, lines 52-67). As such, this is a distinction from the present claim features, wherein the
`
`user biological information comprising dietary information are the private data that is being
`
`securely managed via the sequential fragmentation, encryption, and storage of the encrypted
`
`fragments across distributed storage devices, with decryption of just a fragment with the
`
`requested biological information from the stored encrypted fragments. That is, contrary to the
`
`examiner’s arguments, Nasserbakht et al. teaches a wholly different process with an entirely
`
`different application than the present claimsfeatures.
`
`Regarding the sequential data storage issue, the citation given by the examiner of
`
`Nasserbakhtet al. at col. 18, lines 42-52 merely states that “[a]s new pieces of information are
`
`received or generated, they are written sequentially in memory”, it does not describe the type of
`
`new information being received or generated and doesnot describe any fragmenting, encrypting
`
`of the fragments, storing of the encrypted fragments across distributed storage devices, and
`
`decrypting ofjust a fragment with the requested biological information from the stored encrypted

`
`fragments as recited in the claim features. Additionally, the sequential in memory stated in
`
`Nasserbakhtet al. at that citation differs from the sequential process being recited in the claim
`
`features, notably that the biological information is sequentially fragmented based on timeseries
`
`association between time whenthe biological information is measured and the identification
`
`information of the user. Nasserbakhtet al. does not teach this claim feature and instead, describes
`
`that the sequential aspect is based on time as determined by the user (Nasserbakhtetal. col. 18,
`
`lines 42-44). Furthermore, the citation does not describe the storing of the encrypted fragments
`
`across distributed storage devices as recited in applicant’s claim features. Rather, the citation at
`
`Nasserbakhtet al. simply states that the new info is written sequentially in memory,i.e., one
`
`memory rather than being distributed across storage devices as recited in applicant’s claim
`
`features. Thus, the sequential aspect with the related memory storage in Nasserbakht etal. is
`
`markedly different than the sequential process and storing of the encrypted fragments across
`
`distributed storage devices, among other claim features as recited in applicant’s claim features.
`
`Therefore, Nasserbakhtet al. does not teach applicant’s claim features and does not support the
`
`examiner’s arguments.
`
`Additionally, applicant notes that the distributed memory cited by the examinerat
`
`Nasserbakhtet al. col. 5, lines 30-34 states that: “The mobile device has user-customizable
`
`functionality according to a user’s needs and/or desires. The mobile device may be in the form
`
`of a multi-function mobile electronic system with distributed memory and processing elements.”
`
`Thatis, the citation is describing a distributed memory associated with only the user mobile
`
`device. In contrast, applicant’s claim features are describing distributed storage devices
`
`associated with a first server that securely managesthe biological information, which is wholly
`
`different and separate from the informational terminal of the user (e.g., user mobile device).

`
`Attorney Docket No. P64308
`
`Thus, the distribute memory in Nasserbakhtet al. does not teach the distributed storage devices
`
`associated with a first server as recited in applicant’s claim features.
`
`Applicant reiterates the above arguments for the various other citations and regarding the
`
`“time-based and event-based storage”citation as cited by the examiner at Nasserbakhtet al. col.
`
`5, line 66 to col. 6, line 20. The citation merely describes a “time-based information system
`
`(TIBIS)” for use “in a mobile device”. Thatis, the system is essentially only within the mobile
`
`device. In contrast, applicant’s claim features recite a cyber-physical infrastructure with a health
`
`management system comprising a first server, an informational terminal, and a secondserver,
`
`wherein the various operations occur within different elements suchasthe first server, the
`
`informational terminal, and the second server. In contrast, Nasserbakhtet al. is describing just a
`
`singular aspect, namely a mobile device of the user. This is markedly different from applicant’s
`
`claim features. Therefore, Nasserbakhtet al. does not teach applicant’s claim features and does
`
`not support the examiner’s arguments.
`
`Accordingly, for the reasons stated above, Nasserbakhtet al. does not teach applicant’s
`
`claim features and does not support the examiner’s arguments of WURC. Applicant’s claim
`
`features describe particular and specific steps, as explained above, that are not WURC. Instead,
`
`applicant’s claim features are indicative of being significantly more than the judicial exception.
`
`Rejections under 35 U.S.C. §101
`
`The examiner rejected claims 1-34 under §101 for allegedly being directed to a judicial
`
`exception without significantly more.
`
`Applicant respectfully traverses these groundsofrejection at least in view of the claim
`
`amendments and remarks.
