Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 101
35 U.S.C. 101 reads as follows:
Whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the conditions and requirements of this title.
Claims 1, 10, and 19 and their dependent claims 2-9, 11-18, and 20 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 101.
Regarding claim 1 and its dependent claims 2-9, Step 1 Analysis: Claim 1 is directed to a device, which falls within one of the four statutory categories.
Step 2A prong 1 analysis: Claim 1 recites, in part, “identify a magnitude of a rotational motion of the electronic device, in the state of obtaining the video; and obtain information for segmenting a portion of the video, which corresponds to a time interval in which at least one of the identified angle being changing by exceeding a designated range or the identified magnitude of the rotational motion being exceeding a designated magnitude” as drafted, are limitations that, under broadest reasonable interpretation, covers merely obtaining information.
The limitations of: “identify a magnitude of a rotational motion of the electronic device, in the state of obtaining the video; and obtain information for segmenting a portion of the video, which corresponds to a time interval in which at least one of the identified angle being changing by exceeding a designated range or the identified magnitude of the rotational motion being exceeding a designated magnitude” can be understood to be a simple gathering of data from sensors.
Accordingly, the claim recites an abstract idea.

An electronic device comprising
a first housing;
a second housing;
a first sensor;
a second sensor;
at least one camera provided on the first housing; and a processor configured to:
The additional elements as mentioned – recited at a high level of generality (An electronic device comprising a first housing; a second housing; a first sensor; a second sensor; at least one camera provided on the first housing; and a processor configured to:) such that it amounts to no more than a mere device for gathering of data. Accordingly, these additional elements do not integrate the abstract idea into a practical application because they do not impose any meaningful limits on practicing the abstract idea. The claim as a whole is directed to an abstract idea. Accordingly, these additional element do not integrate the abstract idea into a practical application because it does not impose any meaningful limits on practicing the abstract idea. Please see MPEP §2106.04. (a)(2). III.C.
Step 2B Analysis: there are no additional elements that amount to significantly more than the judicial exception. Please see MPEP §2106.05. The claim is directed to an abstract idea.
For all the Foregoing reasons, claim 1 does not comply with the requirements of 35 USC 101.
Accordingly, the dependent claims 2-9 do not provide elements that overcome the deficiencies of the independent claim 1. Moreover, claim 2-9, each recites, wherein clauses to further specify the abstract idea elements of claim 1 to include more abstract idea such as “identify at least one subject in the video; and obtain the information, based on the identified at least one subject in a designated portion being spaced apart from a border line of the video by a distance that is less than a designated distance.” hence still recite abstract ideas.
Accordingly, the dependent claims 2-9 are not patent eligible under 101.
