Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103 07-20-aia AIA 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. 07-23-aia AIA The factual inquiries for establishing a background for determining obviousness under 35 U.S.C. 103 are summarized as follows: 1. Determining the scope and contents of the prior art. 2. Ascertaining the differences between the prior art and the claims at issue. 3. Resolving the level of ordinary skill in the pertinent art. 4. Considering objective evidence present in the application indicating obviousness or nonobviousness. Claims 2 and 12 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable Lee et al. (US 2017/0215113 A1 – hereinafter ‘5113) in view of Lee et al. (US 20120306774 A1 - hereinafter ‘6774). Claim 2 . The display device of claim 1, ‘5113 does not explicitly disclose, wherein the controller is configured to display a pop-up window for the handover on the display based on the screen link command being obtained, and perform the handover based on a confirm command being received through the pop-up window. However, in the related field of endeavor ‘6774 discloses: … if the mobile terminal is located in an overlapping area between the LTE (long term evolution) network and a 3G network and is connected to the 3G network, the controller controls a popup message for selecting whether to make a handover into the LTE network to be displayed on the touchscreen. [0017] . Therefore, it would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art, at the time the invention was filed, to modify the teaching of ‘5113 with the teaching of ‘6774 in order to provide a graphic user interface (hereinafter abbreviated GUI) capable of sending and managing messages more conveniently and efficiently (‘6774 [0008]) . Claim 12 . The method of claim 11, ‘5113 does not explicitly disclose, further comprising: displaying a pop-up window for the handover on the display based on the screen link command being obtained; and performing the handover based on a confirm command being received through the pop-up window. However, in the related field of endeavor ‘6774 discloses: … if the mobile terminal is located in an overlapping area between the LTE (long term evolution) network and a 3G network and is connected to the 3G network, the controller controls a popup message for selecting whether to make a handover into the LTE network to be displayed on the touchscreen. [0017] . Therefore, it would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art, at the time the invention was filed, to modify the teaching of ‘5113 with the teaching of ‘6774 in order to provide a graphic user interface (hereinafter abbreviated GUI) capable of sending and managing messages more conveniently and efficiently (‘6774 [0008]) . 07-21-aia AIA Claim s 8 and 18 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Lee et al. (US 2017/0215113 A1) in view of Ou (WO 2017166358 A) . Claim 8. The display device of claim 1, Lee et al. do not explicitly disclose, wherein the controller is configured to display a guide for guidance of movement of the audio output device to a location of the external device upon receiving the screen link command. However, in the related field of endeavor Ou disclose: … location information may also be a representative address within a preset range of the actual location indicated by the location information, for example, "xx Building", "xx Store", "xx Shopping Mall", and the like… the calling terminal may provide a handover entry, and the calling terminal displays the location on the preloaded map according to the location information of the called terminal while talking with the called terminal (Ou: English Translation) . The idea, of displaying the location of the called device, is clearly disclose by Ou. Therefore, it would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art, at the time the invention was filed, to modify the teaching of Lee et al. with the teaching of Ou in order to provide a method and device for locating a call, which can conveniently and quickly guide the user to find a destination (Ou: English Translation) . Claim 18 . The method of claim 11, Lee et al. do not explicitly disclose, further comprising displaying a guide for guidance of movement of the audio output device to a location of the external device upon receiving the screen link command. However, in the related field of endeavor Ou disclose: … location information may also be a representative address within a preset range of the actual location indicated by the location information, for example, "xx Building", "xx Store", "xx Shopping Mall", and the like… the calling terminal may provide a handover entry, and the calling terminal displays the location on the preloaded map according to the location information of the called terminal while talking with the called terminal (Ou: English Translation) . The idea, of displaying the location of the called device, is clearly disclose by Ou. Therefore, it would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art, at the time the invention was filed, to modify the teaching of Lee et al. with the teaching of Ou in order to provide a method and device for locating a call, which can conveniently and quickly guide the user to find a destination (Ou: English Translation) . Conclusion 07-96 AIA The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure. Refer to PTO-892 . Prior art included in PTO-892 cites ideas related to the claimed invention. In this regard, Li et al. (WO 2016180179 A) disclose: in FIG. 4, the figure shows a process for reporting terminal location information during a handover process of a terminal in a WLAN network (Li et al.
