(Examiner notes: The above claim terms underlined are additional elements that fall under Step 2A - Prong Two analysis section detailed below)
These steps amount to methods of organizing human activity which includes functions relating to interpersonal and intrapersonal activities, such as managing relationships or transactions between people, social activities, and human behavior; satisfying or avoiding a legal obligation; advertising, marketing, and sales activities or behaviors; and managing human mental activity (MPEP § 2106.04(a)(2)(II)(C) citing the abstract idea grouping for methods of organizing human activity for managing personal behavior or relationships or interactions between people). Therefore, a first account registered for the user, receive bed-data related to the user on the mattress, generate sleep-data for the user based on the bed-data, receive instructions to control the bed, a second account registered for the user, generate exercise-data based on a sensing of the user, maintain the sleep-data in association with the first account, maintain the exercise-data in association with the second account, transfer the sleep-data from the first account to the second account, send the sleep-data from the second account, display the exercise-data, and display the sleep-data are directed to managing personal interactions or personal behavior.
The dependent claims 18, 25, and 33 are directed to display, for one night of sleep, a bed-in time that represents a time that the user entered the bed to sleep and bed-out time that represents a time that the user existed the bed after the sleep.
The dependent claims 19, 26, and 34 are directed to display, for the one night of sleep, a plurality of sleep stages, and for each sleep stage, a corresponding duration to represent an amount of time that the user slept in the sleep stage in the one night of sleep.
The dependent claims 20, 27, and 35 are directed to display a circular element that uses arced line segments to visually display sleep efficiency information for the one night of sleep.
The dependent claims 21, 28, and 36 are directed to display a second circular element that uses second arced line segments to show a sleep-score on an integer scale.
The dependent claims 22, 29, and 37 are directed to simultaneously display, for one night of sleep, a bed-in time that represents a time that the user entered the bed to sleep, a bed-out time that represents a time that the user exited the bed after the sleep, a plurality of sleep stages and, for each sleep stage, a corresponding duration to represent an amount of time that the user slept in the sleep stage in the one night of sleep, display a circular element that uses arced line segments to visually display sleep efficiency information for the one night of sleep.
Each of these steps of the preceding dependent claims 18-23, 25-30, and 33-38 only serve to further limit or specify the features of independent claims 17, 24, 31, and 32 accordingly, and hence are nonetheless directed towards fundamentally the same abstract idea as the independent claim and utilize the additional elements analyzed below in the expected manner.
As such, the Examiner concludes that the preceding claims recite an abstract idea (Step 2A – Prong One: YES).
Step 2A - Prong Two: In prong two of step 2A, an evaluation is made whether a claim recites any additional element, or combination of additional elements, that integrate the exception into a practical application of that exception. An “additional element” is an element that is recited in the claim in addition to (beyond) the judicial exception (i.e., an element/limitation that sets forth an abstract idea is not an additional element). The phrase “integration into a practical application” is defined as requiring an additional element or a combination of additional elements in the claim to apply, rely on, or use the judicial exception in a manner that imposes a meaningful limit on the judicial exception, such that it is more than a drafting effort designed to monopolize the exception.
Claims 17, 24, and 31-32 recite the use of a bed comprising a mattress, only being used in its ordinary capacity and is merely a tool to execute the abstract idea (MPEP § 2106.05(f)(2)). Additionally, the claims recite the use of a bed sensor configured to sense a user on the mattress, only as being used in its ordinary capacity and is merely a tool to execute the abstract idea (MPEP § 2106.05(f)(2)). Furthermore, the claims recite the use of a bed controller comprising a first processor and first memory, in this case to associated with a first account registered for the user, receive bed-data related to the user on the mattress, generate sleep-data for the user based on the bed-data, receive instructions to control the bed. Claims 17, 24, and 31-32 further recite the use of a server-system comprising a fourth processor and fourth memory, in this case to maintain the sleep-data in association with the first account, maintain the exercise-data in association with the second account, transfer sleep data from the first account to the second account, and send sleep-data. The claims also recite the use of one or more computer networks communicably coupling the bed sensor, the bed controller, the phone, the watch, and the server-system. The bed controller comprising a first processor and first memory, server-system comprising a fourth processor and fourth memory, the one or more computer networks communicably coupling the bed sensor, the bed controller, the phone, the watch, and the server-system as a tool to perform an existing process and only amounts to an instruction to implement the abstract idea using a computer (MPEP § 2106.05(f)(2)).
Claims 17, 21, 24, 28, and 31-32 recite the use of a phone comprising a second processor, second memory, and a phone-display, in this case to display sleep-data, display sleep score on an integer scale, only recites the phone comprising a second processor, second memory, and a phone-display as a tool to perform an existing process and only amounts to an instruction to implement the abstract idea using a computer (MPEP § 2106.05(f)(2)).
Claims 17-20, 22, 24-27, 29, and 31-32 recite the use of a watch comprising a third processor, third memory, and a watch-display, in this case to associated with a second account registered for the user, generate exercise-data based on a sensing of the user, display exercise and sleep data, display a bed-in time, bed-out time, a plurality of sleep stages, sleep efficiency information for one night of sleep, only recites the a watch comprising a third processor, third memory, and a watch-display as a tool to perform an existing process and only amounts to an instruction to implement the abstract idea using a computer (MPEP § 2106.05(f)(2)).
Claims 23, 30, and 38 recite the use of the bed controller is further configured to store, in association with the first account, calibration information for use with the bed sensor, only as a tool to perform an existing process and only amounts to an instruction to implement the abstract idea using a computer (MPEP § 2106.05(f)(2)).
The Examiner has therefore determined that the additional elements, or combination of additional elements, do not integrate the abstract idea into a practical application. Accordingly, the claim(s) is/are directed to an abstract idea (Step 2A – Prong two: NO).
Step 2B: In step 2B, the claims are analyzed to determine whether any additional element, or combination of additional elements, is/are sufficient to ensure that the claims amount to significantly more than the judicial exception.
As discussed above in “Step 2A – Prong 2”, the identified additional elements, such as the bed comprising a mattress, bed sensor configured to sense a user on the mattress, bed controller comprising a first processor and first memory, phone comprising a second processor, second memory, and a phone-display, watch comprising a third processor, third memory, and a watch-display, server-system comprising a fourth processor and fourth memory, one or more computer networks communicably coupling the bed sensor, the bed controller, the phone, the watch, and the server-system, the bed controller is further configured to store, in association with the first account, calibration information for use with the bed sensor in independent claims 17, 24, and 31-32, and dependent claims 18-23, 25-30, and 33-38 are equivalent to adding the words “apply it” on a generic computer. Each of these elements is only recited as a tool for performing steps of the abstract idea, such as the use of the computer and data processing devices to apply the algorithm. These additional elements therefore only amount to mere instructions to perform the abstract idea using a computer and are not sufficient to amount to significantly more than the abstract idea (MPEP 2016.05(f) see for additional guidance on the “mere instructions to apply an exception”). Each additional element under Step 2A, Prong 2 is analyzed in light of the specification’s explanation of the additional element’s structure. The claimed invention’s additional elements are directed to generic computer component and functions being used to perform the abstract idea.
This conclusion is based on a factual determination. Applicant’s own disclosure in paragraph [0003] acknowledges that the “a bed is a piece of furniture used as a location to sleep or relax. Many modern beds include a soft mattress on a bed frame. The mattress may include springs, foam material, and/or an air chamber to support the weight of one or more occupants”. Paragraphs [0030-0031] disclose “the bed 112 can be controlled by a computer, tablet, smart phone, or other device in wired or wireless communication with the bed 112… the control box 124 can include a power supply 134, a processor 136, a memory 137, a switching mechanism 138, and an analog to digital (A/D) converter 140”. Additionally, paragraph [0053] discloses “bed 302 can include one or more pressure sensitive pads or surface portions that are operable to detect movement, including user presence, user motion, respiration, and heart rate”. Paragraph [0054] acknowledges that “the user device 310 is a tablet device; however, in some implementations, the user device 310 can be a personal computer, a smart phone, a smart television (e.g., a television 312), or other user device capable of wired or wireless communication with the control circuitry 334”. Paragraph [0057] discloses “Communications between the control circuitry 334 of the bed 302 and other devices can occur through a network (e.g., a LAN or the Internet) or as point-to-point communication (e.g., using Bluetooth, radio communication, or a wired connection)". Furthermore, the specification acknowledges in paragraphs [0107-0108] that the “processor 502 can be a central processing unit, a microprocessor, general purpose logic circuity, application-specific integrated circuity, a combination of these, and/or other hardware for performing the functionality needed… memory 512 is generally one or more devices for storing data. The memory 512 can include long term stable data storage (e.g., on a hard disk), short term unstable (e.g., on Random Access Memory) or any other technologically appropriate configuration". Paragraph [0132] discloses the “server system software 1206 can include operating systems running on real servers, virtual machines instantiated on real servers to create many virtual servers, server level operations such as data migration, redundancy, and backup”. Furthermore, paragraph [0172] acknowledges that the “display 1854 can be, for example, a TFT (Thin-Film-Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) display or an OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) display, or other appropriate display technology. The display interface 1856 can comprise appropriate circuitry for driving the display 1854 to present graphical and other information to a user”. Paragraph [0185] discloses the “worn sensor 1912 and 1914 may be configured to be worn on the wrist (as shown here), on the head, attached to the chest, clipped to the user's clothing or bedding, etc. The worn sensor 1912 and 1914 may be generally worn by the user through the day such as in the case of a watch with motion tracking, or may be worn specifically while sleeping, such as a head-mounted brain activity sensor. Examples of worn sensors 1912 and 1914 include, but are not limited to, sensors to measure blood-oxygen saturation, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere or respiration, body temperature, location of user, movement of user, etc.".
The Examiner has therefore determined that no additional element, or combination of additional claims elements is/are sufficient to ensure the claim(s) amount to significantly more than the abstract idea identified above (Step 2B: NO).
Therefore, claims 17-38 are not eligible subject matter under 35 USC 101.
