CTFR 18/522,501 CTFR 89041 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. 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. Status of the application This Office Action is in response to Applicant's amendments filed on 04/03/2026. Claims 1, 2 and 5-9 are pending for this examination. Information Disclosure Statement The information disclosure statement (IDS) submitted on 04/03/2026 is in compliance with the provisions of 37 CFR 1.97. Accordingly, the information disclosure statements have been considered by the examiner. Acknowledgement Claims 1, 2 and 5-9 are pending. Claims 2 and 3 had been canceled in a previous amendment. Claims 1, 6 and 7 have been amended. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 112 07-30-01 The following is a quotation of the first paragraph 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. Claims 1, 5, 6 and 7 are rejected under 35 USC 112 (a) for adding new matter to the claims. An amendment to claim 1 have added the limitation of “ perform a version match check for each of a plurality of groups of applications that respectively perform a service , wherein each group of the plurality of groups of applications comprises more than one application , the performing the version match check ”. The claim limitation teaches that each group of applications performs a service, which means performs one service. Later the limitation teaches each group of application comprises more than one application. As a result, this limitation teaches each group performs one service but uses more than one application to provide the service . In other words, multiple applications provide one service. This is not supported in the original disclosure. Please refer to specification [0020] and Fig. 2. This teaches that group 1 (AP1) includes one application, e.g., “camera module” but provides two services, e.g., BGM and RCD. Similarly group 2 (AP2) includes two applications, e.g., “camera module” and “sonar module” and provides two services, e.g., PKBS and PCS. As such, this limitation has no antecedent basis in the specification and/or drawings as originally filed because that subject matter is not described in the application as originally filed. To overcome this rejection, applicant may attempt to demonstrate that the original disclosure establishes that he or she was in possession of the amended claim. Examiner would suggest using wording from the specification in the claims to overcome any new matter issue. Claims 5, 6 and 7 have the same issue and can be rejected using the same rational. All claims dependent on the above claims (claims 2, 8 and 9) are rejected for failing to cure the above violation and being dependent on a rejected base claim. Conclusion 07-39 AIA THIS ACTION IS MADE FINAL. 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.
