Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
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.

Claim 4: Yao Fuguo discloses the method according to claim 3. However, Yao Fuguo does not explicitly disclose wherein the page information acquisition request or the system information acquisition request is a JS request.
Boyle discloses a similar method for page display customization, including: wherein the page information acquisition request or the system information acquisition request is a JS request (Claim 4, wherein the request for information is a JavaScript request.)
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filling date of claimed invention to combine the teachings of Yao Fuguo with Boyle. One would have been motivated to combine the teachings as JavaScript is an often used and popular interpreted language generally designed for writing software routines that operate within a client computer on the Internet.
Claim(s) 5-7, 9-12 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Yao Fuguo in view of Bauch (2004/0177158.)
Claim 5: Yao Fuguo discloses the method according to claim 2. However, Yao Fuguo does not explicitly disclose further comprising: providing the request generated according to the indication of the application of the specific type to a request forwarding module, so that the request forwarding module matches, under a request forwarding rule maintained by the terminal, the request generated; and in response to that the request hits a mapping relationship in the request forwarding rule, forwarding the request based on the mapping relationship.
Bauch discloses a similar method for request forwarding, including: further comprising: providing the request generated according to the indication of the application of the specific type to a request forwarding module, so that the request forwarding module matches, under a request forwarding rule maintained by the terminal, the request generated; and in response to that the request hits a mapping relationship (Fig. 15, NAT mapping table) in the request forwarding rule, forwarding the request based on the mapping relationship (Claim 31, receiving a network packet; selecting a rule whose rule information characterizing the header information of request packets sent by clients of the distributed application matches the received network packet; and forwarding the received network packet to a distributed application request packet router in accordance with the information stored in the selected rule specifying a manner for forwarding request packets sent by clients of the distributed application to a distributed application request packet router.)
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filling date of claimed invention to combine the teachings of Yao Fuguo with Bauch. One would have been motivated to combine the teachings for purposes of facilitating the exchange of data by distributed applications that successfully automated the selection of a server, and/or that permitted the use of various different data processing techniques such as encryption and compression (Bauch par. 8.)
Claim 6: Yao Fuguo and Bauch disclose the method according to claim 5, wherein the request forwarding module comprises a NetFilter kernel, and the request forwarding rule comprises an IPtable maintained in the NetFilter kernel (Bauch par. 105, the facility performs the identification and mangling of these packets using an iptables function provided in the netfilter module of the Linux operating system.)
Claim 7: Yao Fuguo discloses the method according to claim 2. However, Yao Fuguo does not explicitly disclose further comprising: sending the request generated according to the indication of the application of the specific type to a specific port pre-configured for the system service; wherein monitoring, by the system service, the request generated according to the indication of the application of the specific type comprises: acquiring, by the system service, the request generated according to the indication of the application of the specific type by monitoring the specific port.

Claim 12: Yao Fuguo and Bauch disclose the method according to claim 11, wherein configuring, by the system service, the mapping relationship between the terminal IP of the terminal and the specific port in the terminal in the request forwarding rule of the terminal comprises:
sending, by the system service, a configuration request to a firewall module (par. 37, an extensible set of transformation modules to transform application requests and responses sent through a PAN tunnel in a way negotiated as part of establishing the PAN tunnel to provide such transmission services as encryption and compression) of the terminal, so that the firewall module adds, in the request forwarding rule deployed, the mapping relationship between the terminal IP of the terminal and the specific port in the terminal (Bauch par. 113, rather than specifying a single destination address or destination port, a rule may specify a range of destination addresses and/or a range of destination ports. Such ranges may be expressed using a variety of different techniques, such as by specifying the top and bottom values of the range, or by specifying a single value together with a mask for transforming the single value into the range. In this way, a rule may match more than one destination address, and/or more than one destination port.)
Claim(s) 16 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Yao Fuguo in view of Wang (20160316020.)
Claim 16: Yao Fuguo discloses the method according to claim 1. However, Yao Fuguo does not explicitly disclose wherein the display instruction is generated by the target application by scanning a two-dimensional code corresponding to the target page; or
the display instruction is generated by the target application based on a website, corresponding to the target page, in an application page of the target application.
