Response to Arguments
Applicant’s arguments, with respect to the rejection(s) of claim(s) 1, 14, 20, have been fully considered.
Regarding applicant’s remarks dated 10/29/2025, regarding none of the cited references teach newly amended portions of claim(s) 1, 14, 20, Lemmon fails to teach names of people appearing in the video and being associated with visual feature, and it makes no sense to combine Yamagishi with Lemmons and Seo.
Examiner disagree.
Lemmons teach an information processing apparatus, comprising: a display; and circuitry configured to reproduce video data including a plurality of service objects, acquire metadata for generating an image including at least a visual feature, each visual feature including a caption and being related to a service object of the plurality of service objects, wherein the caption includes a name of people appearing in the video and being associated with the visual feature, and present the image on a video associated with a content of the video data, wherein each visual feature is presented at an offset position to a related service object, a position of visual feature in the image being determined in accordance with metadata. (Fig 1, 2, 4A, 4B, 5A-5C,7, 13, P. 10-12, 30-31, 37, 40-41, 42, 44, 54-55, 63, 64, 82, Ad insertion wherein local pizza shop ad is displayed based on the viewer’s location, link and/or advertisement, or supplemental information overlay on video objects reproduced in video data and information is acquired for the label, object, dimension, size, shape, etc. of the Ad spot where the logo or ad can be located within the frame, reads on (acquire metadata for generating an image including a visual feature related to each of plurality of service objects). The object identified and tagged within the video stream (i.e. pizza box or refrigerators) reads on (service object), and the label (i.e. “Paul’s pizza”), reads on (Visual feature), when the labels are selected from a database for application to the identified objects within the video (seo teach service object)in this case the pizza box within video signal, such as Fig 4B, 5A, that reads on (acquire metadata for generating an image including a visual feature being a caption and that is related to each of the plurality of service objects), and the labels are superimposed or overlaid using placement and/or contour data generated which include coordinates of the identified object. available advertising space is designated, the database is searched for an appropriate advertisement that fits properly into the designated object. Further tags may comprise a location or several defining locations, perhaps in x and y coordinates, and a contour of the object or blank space (attribute) identified. The tag may flag the attribute as being a blank space or an actual object.....For example, an identified object, which may be refrigerator, may move slightly from one frame to the next. Such a tag would account for the refrigerator's new location and/or orientation, and this tag may comprise new x and y coordinates and contour data of the refrigerator. Label placement can be center (Paul’s pizza box Fig 4A, 4B) or offset to the object (service object) within the video, such as “pets Inc” label 412, Fig 4B, and info label 540, Fig. 5B, P.48, 50, which reads on (each visual feature is presented at an offset position to a related service object). The computer overlays onto the video signal, thus applying the label to selective areas of the video signal by using the coordinates given by the placement/contour data(metadata), the placement/contour data may be generated by a computer located at the head-end, the set-top box, or other site....By generating placement/contour data, the available advertising space is designated and comprises a boundary around the identified object....the placement/contour data is combined with the video signal for displaying the label on the object in the video, which reads on (a position of visual feature in image being determined in accordance with metadata)) specifically Fig 1, 4A, 4B, 5A-5C, 13,P. 30-31, 62-63, 68-71, 73, 79, 82-83, Lemmons specifically teach name label(s) placed on the person appearing’s shirt, helmet, etc. within close proximity to the person appearing within the video, as shown on specifically Fig. 5C, P. 10, 51, where the sports player on display).
Lemmons further teach the concept of adaptive streaming of HTTP , (HTTP (DASH), (Fig. 7, P. 30, 36, 44-46, 54,59, 60, video may also be displayed on a computer monitor displaying labels within video streams over the Internet, … one or more video feeds can comprise enhanced video that is provided from an Internet connection. HTML-like scripting can be used to indicate the layout of the enhanced video signal. Instructions can be provided for replacement of particular segments comprising the label space, to make an interactive label, which reads on (HTTP (DASH)).
And in regard to how it makes no sense to combine Yamagishi with Lemmons and Seo, the test for obviousness is not whether the features of a secondary reference may be bodily incorporated into the structure of the primary reference; nor is it that the claimed invention must be expressly suggested in any one or all of the references. Rather, the test is what the combined teachings of the references would have suggested to those of ordinary skill in the art. See In re Keller, 642 F.2d 413, 208 USPQ 871 (CCPA 1981).
Thus, the combination of Lemmons, Seo and Yamagishi still reads on amended claim(s) 1, 14, 20.

Lemmons in view of Seo in view of Yamagishi fail to specifically teach add image to video by superimposing image onto each frame of video including service object.
Taylor further teach add image to video by superimposing image onto each frame of video including service object. (Fig. 1A, 1B, 3B, P. 15, superimposing targeted labels and graphical overlays on top of live video stream)
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to modify Lemmons in view of Seo in view of Yamagishi by add image to video by superimposing image onto each frame of video including service object as taught by Taylor in order to more accurately edit information transmitted to client.
