Claims 1-20 are pending in the current application.
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
Applicant’s arguments, see Remarks, filed 12/16/25, with respect to the rejection of claim 1 under 103 have been fully considered and are persuasive. Therefore, the rejection has been withdrawn. However, upon further consideration, a new ground(s) of rejection is made in view of Gandhi et al. (Pub. No. US 2005/0267935 A1) [0039] lines 1-10, [0040] lines 1-9, [0059] lines 1-20, [0060] lines 1-16, [0571] lines 1-13 and [0573] lines 1-25 which shows the client device/universal control point, that can include such devices as smart mobile phone connected to another controlled device that can also be smart devices, where the controlled device can include embedded computing devices with their own software code modules, viewed as type of embedded content of executable code, associated with the controlled device functionality, where as part of discovery process between the controller and controlled device a XML format device description is downloaded to the client to allow the client to activate/unlock device functionality from the client, viewed as enabling/unlocked the embedded code functionality on the smart controlled device from the smart controller device and while the specifics of the smart device being a motor are not specifically seen in the teachings of Gandhi the teaching of Bruns [0019] lines 1-3 and [0020] lines 1-12 shows the specifics of a controlled smart device being a type of smart motor controller/drive device in an industrial system.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
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 (i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) 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.
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.

As to claim 15, Clements as modified by Gandhi and Bruns do not specifically disclose, however, Kim disclose installing, via the app, new content in the motor drive; and, installing, via the app, the new content in a second motor drive (Kim [0005] lines 4-12, [0035] lines 1-6, [0037] lines 1-9, [0038] lines 1-9, [0039] lines 3-8, [0147] lines 1-7 and [0148] lines 1-4; which shows a server managing account information for each account based on cloud computing viewed as a type of cloud server, that receives information from the smart mobile device acting as a trigger, that will cause the smart device to receive/download and install the smart program for personal ID and the customized information for person ID provided from the server thus viewed as the download and installation of the new content on the smart device, where the download and installation can be done by passing the information to the smart mobile device before transferred and downloaded and installed on the smart device, where various devices can be controlled thus having a second smart device as well that can install the new/customized content, where the specifics of an app on a mobile device used to control other smart devices in the network is seen in the specific teachings of Clements above and the teachings of Bruns showing the specifics of an smart/intelligent controller for a motor device/motor drive).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date to incorporate the teachings of Kim showing the specifics of a smart mobile device being able to install new content onto another intelligent industrial device, into the use of a smart mobile device to manage and control other intelligent devices of Clements as modified by Gandhi and Bruns for the purpose of increasing usability of the smart controller device so that it can provide further personalization/customization content to the devices that it manages, as taught by Kim [0020] lines1-12.
As to claim 19, Clements as modified by Gandhi and Bruns do not specifically disclose, however, Kim discloses cause the mobile dive to install new content in the motor drive (Kim [0012] lines 1-6, [0020] lines 1-12, [0035] lines 1-6, [0037] lines 1-9, [0038] lines 1-9, [0039] lines 3-8, [0147] lines 1-7 and [0148] lines 1-4; which shows how the smart device can receive/install the smart program provided by the server based on information provided by the smart mobile device when the content is provided to the mobile device and then provided and installed on the smart device where the teachings of Bruns showing the specifics of an intelligent/smart controller for a motor device/motor drive)
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date to incorporate the teachings of Kim showing the specifics of a smart mobile device being able to install new content onto another intelligent industrial device, into the use of a smart mobile device to manage and control other intelligent devices of Clements as modified by Gandhi and Bruns for the purpose of increasing usability of the smart controller device so that it can provide further personalization/customization content to the devices that it manages, as taught by Kim [0020] lines1-12.
Claim 14 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Clements, Gandhi and Bruns as applied to claim 1 above, and further in view Dayalan et al. (Pub. No. US 2023/0168878 A1)
As to claim 14, Clements as modified by Gandhi and Bruns do not specifically disclose, wherein the embedded content comprises an analytic capability
However, Dayalan discloses wherein the embedded content comprises an analytic capability (Dayalan [0002] lines 13-21; which shows that the controller includes connection to other various embedded systems and sensors that can send and receive information between them including a sensor that is able to send its temperature information to the controller and control components based on setting which can the determine, viewed as based on a type of embedded/received analytic capability with the connected device, based on that information and user set temperature if temperature needs to be adjusted).
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date to incorporate the teachings of Dayalan showing the specifics of controller for an intelligent industrial control device into the controlling of intelligent devices of Clements as modified by Gandhi and Bruns for the purpose of increasing control details available for a controlling device to further incorporating status information of connected/integrated elements of the control device in an industrial network to more actually determine data and device configuration information and status to be used in controlling devices in an intelligent network, as taught by Dayalan [0005] lines 1-12.
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.
