5. Claims 1 and 15 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Shuai-qi Wang (Chinese Patent Application Publication No. 2019/11226708 A -herein after Wang) in view of Chandra et al. (US Patent Application Publication No. 2017/0052879 A1 -herein after Chandra).
Per claim 1:
Wang discloses:
A method for processing a component (At least see page 2:15 - disclosure provides a method for distributing component), in comprising:
sending a block information entity request to a platform, the block information entity request comprising a block identifier corresponding to a component (At least see page 2:17-18 - receiving component obtaining request sent by a first terminal, the component acquisition request includes a target component identifier);
receiving a block information entity corresponding to the component sent by the platform (At least see page 2:19-20 - obtaining component information from the component library target component corresponding to the identifier of the target component); and
invoking a component software development kit to render the component in a document based on the block information entity (At least see page 12:4-7 -development single page application can by way of example SDK acquisition component and reference component. Examples of assemblies may be page reference and rendering into a part of the page, to realize the function of the page).
Wang sufficiently discloses the method as set forth above, but Wang does not disclose: wherein the component is rendered via a user interface (UI) sandbox that provides visual isolation between the component and other content of the document, such that the component is embedded in the document without affecting a display of the other content.
However, Chandra discloses:
wherein the component is rendered via a user interface (UI) sandbox that provides visual isolation between the component and other content of the document (At least see [0031] -creating a new file and managing changes within the sandbox are file based isolation; and [0054] - UI components read the active sandbox information from the user session and render only within the context of an active sandbox session), such that the component is embedded in the document without affecting a display of the other content (At least see [0055] -UI components for each of the sandboxable components are configured such that technology components can embed in the UI chrome that frames their tools).
It would have been obvious to one ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to incorporate Chandra into Wang’s invention because Chandra’s teaching would provide enhance customization tools to capture information when users perform customization, or analyze the customization artifacts provided by sandboxed repositories because customization artifacts may be tied to the underlying technologies, not to the functional objects users see on the UI; thus customization feature may analyze the conflicted customization artifacts to produce this information, and customization feature is expected to know the relationship between the customizable objects and their corresponding customization artifacts (see [0088]).
Per claim 15:
Wang discloses:
An electronic device (At least see page 2:11-12 - disclosure provides a method for distributing assembly, single development method, device and storage medium page application), in comprising:
one or more processors (At least see page 17:26-2 - device 800 includes a processing component 822 further comprises one or more processors); and
a storage device for storing one or more programs which, when executed by the one or more processors (At least see page 17:27-29 memory resources represented by storage 832, for storing instruction execution by processing component 822, such as an application program. an application program stored in the memory 832), cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
sending a block information entity request to a platform, the block information entity request comprising a block identifier corresponding to a component (At least see page 2:17-18 - receiving component obtaining request sent by a first terminal, the component acquisition request includes a target component identifier);
receiving a block information entity corresponding to the component sent by the platform (At least see page 2:19-20 - obtaining component information from the component library target component corresponding to the identifier of the target component); and
invoking a component software development kit to render the component in a document based on the block information entity (At least see page 12:4-7 -development single page application can by way of example SDK acquisition component and reference component. Examples of assemblies may be page reference and rendering into a part of the page, to realize the function of the page).
Wang sufficiently discloses the system as set forth above, but Wang does not disclose: wherein the component is rendered via a user interface (UI) sandbox that provides visual isolation between the component and other content of the document, such that the component is embedded in the document without affecting a display of the other content.
However, Chandra discloses:
wherein the component is rendered via a user interface (UI) sandbox that provides visual isolation between the component and other content of the document (At least see [0031] -creating a new file and managing changes within the sandbox are file based isolation; and [0054] - UI components read the active sandbox information from the user session and render only within the context of an active sandbox session), such that the component is embedded in the document without affecting a display of the other content (At least see [0055] -UI components for each of the sandboxable components are configured such that technology components can embed in the UI chrome that frames their tools).
It would have been obvious to one ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to incorporate Chandra into Wang’s invention because Chandra’s teaching would provide enhance customization tools to capture information when users perform customization, or analyze the customization artifacts provided by sandboxed repositories because customization artifacts may be tied to the underlying technologies, not to the functional objects users see on the UI; thus customization feature may analyze the conflicted customization artifacts to produce this information, and customization feature is expected to know the relationship between the customizable objects and their corresponding customization artifacts (see [0088]).
