Information Disclosure statements
The information disclosure statements (IDS) were submitted and filed on 01/10/2025 and 01/29/2025. The submission is in compliance with the provisions of 37 CFR 1.97. Accordingly, the information disclosure statements are being considered by the examiner.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 101
35 U.S.C. 101 reads as follows:
Whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the conditions and requirements of this title.
The claimed invention is directed to non-statutory subject matter.
Claim 19 is directed to non-statutory subject matter because it recited merely a computer program product comprises a computer program (none of the claims, specification or record disclose that the claimed “computer program product comprises a computer program” is a non-transitory medium. The Examiner asserts that the claimed “computer program product comprises a computer program” can be a transitory signal, which is non-statutory. Applicant define computer program product comprises a computer program in the specification at page 35, however, the definition does not specifically exclude a signal as a possible type of compute readable medium. “computer program product comprises a computer program” are not necessarily considered to limit a media claim to non-transitory embodiments because content may be considered to be stored on a signal during propagation and because many disclosures conflate storage media and signals. For example, US Patent 6,286,104 discloses: “the methods described herein may be implemented by a series of computer-executable instructions residing on a storage medium such as a carrier wave”. See the Board decision in ex parte Mewherter (10/685,192) where the Board affirmed 101 rejection of a “machine readable storage medium”. The Examiner suggests that Applicant replaces “computer program product comprises a computer program” with “non-transitory computer-readable storage medium” or clarify that the “computer program product comprises a computer program” is non-transitory either in the specification or on the records).
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.
Claims 1-19 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Jia (US 2020/0351746) in view of White et al (US 2015/0237552).
Regarding claim 1, Jia discloses method for adjusting interface balance, wherein the method is applied to an electronic device and comprises (handset (electronic device) includes a processor 902 for controlling and processing all onboard operations and functions. A memory 904 interfaces to the processor 902 for storage of data and one or more applications 906 (e.g., a video player software, user feedback component software, etc.). User input component 934 can also facilitate the generation, editing and sharing of video quotes, [0074], lines 1-3, [0079], lines 5-6):
in response to an operation of enabling a first data service by a user, detecting, by the electronic device, a current network (Wi-Fi transceiver 913 of the handset 900 (electronic device) detects the beacon of the access point connected to a network (current network) in response to software trigger component 938 provided that facilitates triggering of the hysteresis component 936, [0080], lines 2-3);
if the current network is a first network (handset 900 (electronic device) detects the beacon of the access point connected to a network (current network is a first network), [0080], lines 2-3):
obtaining, by the electronic device, a first service latency of running the first data service in the first network by the electronic device (Devices (e.g., the UEs 102 and the network device 104) of system 100 are configured to communicate wireless signals using one or more multi carrier modulation schemes, wherein data symbols can be transmitted simultaneously over multiple frequency subcarriers (e.g., OFDM, CP-OFDM, DFT-spread OFMD, UFMC, FMBC, etc.). System 100 can be configured to provide and employ 5G wireless networking features and functionalities. 5G wireless communication networks are expected to fulfill the demand of exponentially increasing data traffic (first data service in the first network) and to allow people and machines, eg; phones, smart phones, tablets, etc. (electronic device) to enjoy gigabit data rates with virtually zero latency (first service latency), [0045], lines 11-13); and
continuously monitoring, by the electronic device, a first temperature of the electronic device (Because performance of radio frequency (RF) components can degrade with excessive heat, UE devices can shut down if the temperature rises above maximum safe operation temperatures. The UE device can be usable again once the temperature cools down to a safe operating range; thus is seen as when UE determines that its temperature rises above an unsafe range, it will shut itself down, [0031], lines 5-7);
if the first temperature is greater than a first preset temperature (UE devices can shut down if the temperature rises above maximum safe operation temperatures, [0031], line 6):
triggering, by the electronic device, handover from the first network to a second network (3GPP has a UEAssistance Information IE that can be used to indicate to the network to reduce capabilities to address the overheating issue. The first solution can comprise the IE being passed from a source cell to a target cell in handover message; thus is seen as when the when UE is overheated, it will handover from a source cell of a first network to a target cell of another network, [0033], lines 4-5 and 9); and
Jia does not specifically disclose concept of obtaining, by the electronic device, a second service latency of running the first data service in the second network by the electronic device, wherein network performance of the first network is higher than network performance of the second network; and
determining, by the electronic device, a network handover policy based on the first service latency and the second service latency.
However, White et al specifically teaches concept of obtaining, by the electronic device, a second service latency of running the first data service in the second network by the electronic device (first user communication device (electronic device) receives communication link parameter latency (second service latency of running the first data service) or jitter consists of different packets with different delay or parameter latencies from IP access point (second network) [0075], lines 1-3), wherein network performance of the first network is higher than network performance of the second network (Sometimes, however, the hybrid mobile device 124 may experience a loss of service with or degradation to the WiFi connection. This commonly occurs if the hybrid mobile device 124 moves out of range of the IP access point 120 (second network) or the quality of the connection with the IP access point 120 (second network) otherwise degrades. In such a scenario, it is necessary to handoff or hand over the call over to the mobile carrier network 110 (first network) to avoid terminating the communication session; thus is seen as quality of the connection (performance) of mobile carrier network 110 (first network) is higher than of the IP access point 120 (second network), [0043], lines 2-5); and
determining, by the electronic device, a network handover policy based on the first service latency and the second service latency (first user communication device (electronic device) receives communication link parameter latency (second service latency of running the first data service) or jitter ie. different packets with different delay or parameter latencies (first service latency and the second service latency) from IP access point (second network). According to the International Telecommunication Union--Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) recommendations, one-way latency (e.g; delay) follows the following constraints: under 150 ms is acceptable; 150 to 400 ms is acceptable with limitations; and over 400 ms is unacceptable. When a user indicates that the quality of a communication link has degraded, the one or more communication link parameters latency (e.g; delay) (first service latency and the second service latency) may be recorded and associated with a loss of quality of a communication link. A handoff profile may be established based on the user tolerance levels for various communication link parameters, [0075], lines 1-3, [0076], lines 2-4, [0080], lines 2-4).

Regarding claim 2, Jia discloses method, wherein the network handover policy comprises a network priority mechanism, and the method further comprises: triggering, by the electronic device, handover from the second network to the first network based on the network priority mechanism (3GPP has a UEAssistance Information IE that can be used to indicate to the network to reduce capabilities to address the overheating issue. The first solution can comprise the IE being passed from a source cell to a target cell in handover message; thus is seen as when the when UE is overheated, it will handover from a source cell of a first network to a target cell of another network, [0033], lines 4-5 and 9); and
adjusting, by the electronic device, a fluency parameter (handset (electronic device) includes a processor 902 for controlling and processing all onboard operations and functions. A memory 904 interfaces to the processor 902 for storage of data and one or more applications 906 (e.g., a video player software, user feedback component software, etc.).

However, White et al specifically teaches concept of if the first service latency is greater than the second service latency and a difference between the first service latency and the second service latency is greater than or equal to a first threshold, running, by the electronic device, the first data service in the second network based on the fluency priority mechanism (Sometimes, however, the hybrid mobile device 124 may experience a loss of service with or degradation to the WiFi connection. This commonly occurs if the hybrid mobile device 124 moves out of range of the IP access point 120 (second network) or the quality of the connection with the IP access point 120 (second network) otherwise degrades. In such a scenario, it is necessary to handoff or hand over the call over to the mobile carrier network 110 (first network) to avoid terminating the communication session; thus is seen as quality of the connection (performance) of mobile carrier network 110 (first network) is higher than of the IP access point 120 (second network), [0043], lines 2-5).
