CTNF 18/288,812 CTNF 76887 DETAILED ACTION Acknowledgment is made of the preliminary amendment filed on 10/29/23. Claims 1-12 are currently pending. Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status 07-03-aia AIA 15-10-aia The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102 07-07-aia AIA 07-07 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 – 07-08-aia AIA (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. 07-15-aia AIA Claim(s) 1 and 6 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102 (a)(1) as being anticipated by Park et al. (US 2015/0311736) (hereinafter referred to as ‘Park’) . Park teaches Regarding claim 1, a battery control system comprising: an output device (see Paragraph 0087); a memory configured to store discharge energy information with respect to a maximum value and a minimum value of a state of charge (SoC) of a battery; and a control device (controller 233) connected with the output device and the memory, wherein the control device is configured to: determine an SoC maximum value and an SoC minimum value for a maximum discharge energy, based on the discharge energy information (see Paragraph 0090); and output, through the output device, a user interface (UI) guiding the SoC maximum value and the SoC minimum value through the output device (see Paragraph 0087); claim 6, an operating method of a battery control system, the operating method comprising: determining a state of charge (SoC) maximum value and an SoC minimum value for a maximum discharge energy, based on discharge energy information stored in a memory; and outputting a user interface (UI) guiding the SoC maximum value and the SoC minimum value through an output device . Allowable Subject Matter 12-151-08 AIA 07-43 12-51-08 Claim s 2-5 and 7-12 are objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims. 13-03-01 AIA The following is a statement of reasons for the indication of allowable subject matter: the prior art of record fails to teach or fairly suggest either alone or in combination thereof: Regarding claim 2, the battery control system of claim 1, wherein the control device is further configured to: detect charging of the battery; and output, through the output device, a UI indicating end of the charging of the battery or indicating that a current SoC of the battery reaches the SoC of the battery maximum value, when the current SoC reaches the SoC maximum value during the charging of the battery; regarding claim 3, the battery control system of claim 1, further comprising a measurement sensor configured to measure an SoC in real time, wherein the control device is further configured to output, through the output device, a UI guiding charging of the battery when a difference between a current SoC measured through the measurement sensor and the SoC of the battery minimum value is less than a threshold value; regarding claim 4, the battery control system of claim 3, wherein the control device comprises a battery management system (BMS), and the measurement sensor comprises an on-board diagnostics (OBD) device; regarding claim 5, the battery control system of claim 3, wherein the control device is further configured to: obtain an SoC pattern with respect to charging and discharging of the battery through the measurement sensor; and update the SoC maximum value and the SoC minimum value for the maximum discharge energy based on the SoC pattern; regarding claim 7, the operating method of claim 6, further comprising: detecting charging of the battery; and outputting, through the output device, a UI indicating an end of the charging of the battery or indicating that a current SoC of the battery reaches the SoC maximum value, when the current SoC reaches the SoC maximum value during the charging of the battery; regarding claim 8, the operating method of claim 6, further comprising: measuring a current SoC of the battery through a measurement sensor; and outputting, through the output device, a UI guiding charging of the battery when a difference between the current SoC measured through the measurement sensor and the SoC minimum value is less than a threshold value; regarding claim 9, the operating method of claim 8, wherein the determining is performed through a battery management system (BMS), and the measurement sensor comprises an on-board diagnostics (OBD) device; regarding claim 10, the operating method of claim 8, further comprising: obtaining an SoC pattern with respect to charging and discharging of the battery through the measurement sensor; and updating the SoC maximum value and the SoC minimum value for the maximum discharge energy based on the SoC pattern; regarding claim 11, the operating method of claim 6, further comprising: detecting charging of the battery; and terminating the charging of the battery if a current SoC of the battery reaches the SoC maximum value during the charging of the battery; regarding claim 12, the battery control system of claim 1, wherein the control device is further configured to: detect charging of the battery; and terminate the charging of the battery if the current SoC of the battery reaches the SoC maximum value during the charging of the battery.
