DETAILED ACTION
The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
This Office Action is in response to the Amendment filed on 07/10/2026.
In the instant Amendment, claims 15-20 are cancelled, claims 1-2, 11, 13, and 21-26 have been amended; and claims 1, 11, and 21 are independent claims. Claims 1-14 and 21-26 have been examined and are pending. This Action is made Final.
Response to Arguments
The rejection of claims 21-26 under 35 U.S.C. § 101 is withdrawn as the claims have been amended.
The rejection of claims 1, 11, and 21 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(a)(1) is withdrawn as the claims have been amended.
Applicant’s arguments in the instant Amendment, filed on 07/10/2026, with respect to limitations listed below, have been fully considered but they are not persuasive.
Applicant’s arguments in regards to independent claims 1, 11, and 21: “Furthermore, Applicant submits that Chun fails to disclose the feature of to "cause, based at least in part on the trigger condition, the mobile device to transition to a locked state where at least some applications of the mobile device are inaccessible on the external display device and the mobile device," as claimed (emphasis added).”
The Examiner disagrees with the Applicants. The Examiner respectfully submits that Chun does teach "cause, based at least in part on the trigger condition, the mobile device to transition to a locked state where at least some applications of the mobile device are inaccessible on the external display device and the mobile device." Paragraph [0182] of Chun describes how “the terminal 300 may be locked when the user does not manipulate the terminal 300 for a predetermined time. In this case, the locking screen may be displayed on the display unit of the terminal 300. When the predetermined time is shorter than the above-described threshold time, before the controller 170 changes the display state of the mirroring image to the non-display state, the screen of the terminal 300 may be changed to the locking screen.” Paragraph [0195] and [0196] of Chun further teaches how “the terminal 300 may be switched to a sleep state when there is absent the operation of the terminal 300 by the user or when the event does not occur for a predetermined time (S1700). The sleep state may refer to the state that the terminal 300 may not transmit the mirroring image data to the display device 100 or may not perform other functions,” and “[w]hen a specific event occurs in the sleep state, the terminal 300 may be switched to a wake-up state (S1710). For example, the terminal 300 in the sleep state may be switched to the wake-up state due to user input or other events.” The screen of the mobile device may enter into a lock state after a predetermined time and the mirrored image may enter into a non-display state or a screen protection image (Chun: Para. [0185]). The lock state of the mobile device will prevent access to the applications via the mobile device and the display device. Under the broadest reasonable interpretation, this corresponds to and teaches in the instant claim limitation, “cause, based at least in part on the trigger condition, the mobile device to transition to a locked state where at least some applications of the mobile device are inaccessible on the external display device and the mobile device.”
Applicants’ remaining arguments have been considered, but are moot in view of the new grounds of rejection, which were necessitated by amendment.
Specification Objections
The Specification is objected to as failing to provide proper antecedent basis for the claimed subject matter. See 37 CFR 1.75(d)(1) and MPEP § 608.01(o). The specification does not sufficiently provide support for the claim limitations as following:
Regarding Claim 2, Claim 2 recites the limitation “wherein to determine that the mobile device is connected to the external display device via at least one of a wired connection or a wireless connection and restrict the at least some applications of the mobile device accessible by the external display device based, at least in part, on a location of the mobile device.” However, the aforementioned limitation is not discussed in the Specification as explicitly recited. There is insufficient antecedent basis for this limitation.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(a):
(a) IN GENERAL.—The specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the manner and process of making and using it, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same, and shall set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor or joint inventor of carrying out the invention.
The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), first paragraph:
The specification shall contain a written description of the invention, and of the manner and process of making and using it, in such full, clear, concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art to which it pertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to make and use the same and shall set forth the best mode contemplated by the inventor of carrying out his invention.
Claim 2 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 112(a) or 35 U.S.C. 112 (pre-AIA ), first paragraph, as failing to comply with the written description requirement. The claims contain subject matter which was not described in the specification in such a way as to reasonably convey to one skilled in the relevant art that the inventor or a joint inventor, or for pre-AIA the inventor(s), at the time the application was filed, had possession of the claimed invention.
Regarding claim 2; claim 2 recites the limitations “wherein to determine that the mobile device is connected to the external display device via at least one of a wired connection or a wireless connection and restrict the at least some applications of the mobile device accessible by the external display device based, at least in part, on a location of the mobile device.” (emphasis added) However, the said limitations are not discussed in the specification. At most, Paragraphs [0046], [0048], and [0049] of the Applicant’s Instant Specification describe how “[a]t 402 it is determined that one or more monitoring conditions pertaining to a mobile device occur. The monitoring conditions, for instance, pertain to different state conditions of the mobile device 102. Examples of the monitoring conditions include at least one of that the mobile device 102 is connected to the display device 104 via at least one of a wired connection or a wireless connection, that the mobile device 102 is connected to a data network (e.g., the network 106) such that the mobile device 102 can stream data from the data network, that the mobile device 102 is streaming cloud content to the display device 104 such as from the cloud computing resources 124, that the mobile device 102 is not utilized as an input device for providing input to data transmitted from the mobile device 102 to the display device 104, that one or more input devices 128 are connected to the mobile device 102 for providing input to content (e.g., cloud content) transmitted from the mobile device 102 to the display device 104, and so forth,” and “[a]t 406 it is detected that a trigger condition occurs in relation to the data reception. Examples of different trigger conditions are described herein, such as an indication that the data reception falls below a threshold amount of data received at the mobile device 102 from the cloud service 116 over a threshold time duration. In implementations the threshold amount of data and/or the threshold time duration are user configurable. Alternatively or additionally the threshold amount of data and/or the threshold time duration can be configured based on a determined location of the mobile device 102. For instance, a lower threshold amount of data and/or a shorter threshold time duration may be specified at an unknown and/or unsecure location (e.g., a public location and/or a known unsecure location) than at a known secure location, e.g., a user's home, office, etc.,” and “[a]t 408 and based at least in part on the trigger condition, the mobile device is caused to transition to a locked state. The cloud interface module 112, for instance, instructs the operating system 114 to transition the mobile device 102 from an unlocked state to a locked state. Accordingly, the operating system 114 can transition the mobile device 102 from an unlocked state to a locked state where some or all functionality (e.g., applications, services, etc.) of the mobile device 102 is inaccessible,” respectively. The Examiner respectfully requests the Applicant point out where in the specification support can be found for the aforementioned newly added limitations. Applicant is required to cancel the new matter in the reply to this Office Action.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
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.
In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.

Regarding claim 13, Claim 13 is rejected under the same rational as claims 8-9.
Regarding claim 22, Claim 22 is rejected under the same rational as claim 2.
Claim(s) 3-4 and 23-24 are rejected 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over by Chun et al. (US 2019/0146744; Hereinafter “Chun”) in view of Park et al. (US 2017/0160812; Hereinafter “Park”) in view of Jeong et al. (US 2020/0333995; Hereinafter “Jeong”).

In an analogous art, Jeong teaches wherein the at least one module is executable by the at least one processor to determine that the mobile device is not utilized as an input device for providing input to the data transmitted from the mobile device to the external display device (Jeong: Fig. 7, Para. [0135], According to an embodiment, and as shown in FIG. 7, the display device 100 may receive, from the user terminal device 200, information indicating that a title of the video content that is being output via the user terminal device 200 is “hiking,” and information identifying that a current playback point of the video content is 59 minutes. Then, the display device 100 may receive, from the external server 700 from which the user terminal device 200 also receives the video content, a portion of the video content that corresponds to the current playback point of the video content that is being output via the user terminal device 200, based on the received information. According to an embodiment, the display device 100 may receive, from the external server 700, video content titled “hiking” after the playback point of 59 minutes. Therefore, the display device 100 may receive and display the video content that corresponds to the current playback point of the video content that is received from the external server 700 and is being output via the user terminal device 200. [after 00:59, content being played via display is received from external server and not mobile terminal])

[0004]-[0005]).
Regarding claim 4, Chun, in combination with Park and Jeong, teaches the mobile device of claim 3, wherein the at least one module is executable by the at least one processor to determine that at least one input device external to the mobile device is used as an input device for providing input to the data transmitted from the mobile device to the external display device (Jeong: Para. [0135], Therefore, the display device 100 may receive and display the video content that corresponds to the current playback point of the video content that is received from the external server 700 and is being output via the user terminal device 200).
