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
Claims 1-2, 4-5, 7-11, 14-18 are amended.
Claim 19 is Withdrawn amended.
Claim 6 is canceled.
Claims 1-5 and 7-19 are presently pending.
Applicant’s arguments, see Remarks, filed 13 July 2026, with respect to the rejections of the claims under 35 USC 103 have been fully considered and are persuasive. The rejections under 35 USC 103 are withdrawn.
It is noted that Amendments to Withdrawn Claim 19 do not appear to be supported by the Specification.
Claim Objections
Claim 1 is objected to because of the following informalities:
Claim 1 recites: “wherein the artificial intelligence training software having machine learning and deep learning and natural language and speech conversation training functions…” which is grammatically improper. Examiner recommends amending the language to an active tense instead such as “has” or “comprises”.
Appropriate correction is required.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
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.
Claims 1, 3-5, 8, 13-16, and 18 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 applications subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, the applicant), regards as the invention.
The term “large” in Claim 1 is a relative term which renders the claim indefinite. The term “large” is not defined by the claim, the specification does not provide a standard for ascertaining the requisite degree, and one of ordinary skill in the art would not be reasonably apprised of the scope of the invention. It is unclear how much audio and video data training is required to constitute a ‘large’ amount of training to meet the requirements of the limitation.
Claim 1 recites: “among them, the artificial intelligence training software using generative adversarial network GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) technology and artificial intelligence classification technology, wherein the technology includes…” it is unclear to what ‘among them’ refers. Appropriate corrections are required.
Claim 1 recites: “wherein the artificial intelligence training software having machine learning and deep learning and natural language and speech conversation training functions and using the trained parameters for various sexual needs;” which lacks an antecedent basis. Appropriate corrections are required.
Claim 1 recites: “using generative adversarial network GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) technology and artificial intelligence classification technology, wherein the technology includes”. As there are two different technologies recited in Claim 1, it is unclear to which technology the recited “the technology” refers. Appropriate corrections are required.
Claim 1 recites: “a sensor signal classification module which is used to classify the sensor signal after receiving the sensor signal during the training stage” which lacks an antecedent basis. Appropriate corrections are required.
Claim 1 recites: “and accepting the sensor signal in the inference stage to obtain a user behavior classification” which lacks an antecedent basis. Appropriate corrections are required.
Claims 3-5, 8, 13-16 and 18 are rejected as being dependent on Claim 1 and failing to cure its deficiencies.
Allowable Subject Matter
Claims 1, 3-5, 8, 13-16, and 18 would be allowable if rewritten or amended to overcome the rejection(s) under 35 U.S.C. 112(b) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), 2nd paragraph, set forth in this Office action.
Claims 2, 7, 9-12, and 17 are allowed.
Conclusion
Applicant's amendment necessitated the new ground(s) of rejection presented in this Office action. Accordingly, THIS ACTION IS MADE FINAL. See MPEP § 706.07(a). Applicant is reminded of the extension of time policy as set forth in 37 CFR 1.136(a).
A shortened statutory period for reply to this final action is set to expire THREE MONTHS from the mailing date of this action. In the event a first reply is filed within TWO MONTHS of the mailing date of this final action and the advisory action is not mailed until after the end of the THREE-MONTH shortened statutory period, then the shortened statutory period will expire on the date the advisory action is mailed, and any nonprovisional extension fee (37 CFR 1.17(a)) pursuant to 37 CFR 1.136(a) will be calculated from the mailing date of the advisory action. In no event, however, will the statutory period for reply expire later than SIX MONTHS from the mailing date of this final action.
