Response to Arguments
2. Applicant’s arguments with respect to claim(s) 1-20 have been considered but are moot in view of a new ground(s) of rejection. The amendments to the claims necessitated the new ground(s) of rejections
With respect to the last office action, Applicant amends claims, discusses the claims limitations, the prior art of record (PAR or REID et al (2021/0352348)), the office action and further argues that the PARs do not meet the amended claims limitations (see Applicant’s Remarks).
In response, Examiner notes Applicant’s arguments/amendments, however, the PAR or REID still meet the amended claims limitations for these reasons: REID discloses an information display method;
generates a recommendation operation instruction (Server/Client is responsive to triggering operations: generates Metadata: title and other detailed information, e.g., Create a playlist) in response to detecting a target account in an account management list, wherein the target account corresponds to a user of a multimedia platform (see fig.1-4, Abstract, [0019-0036], [0062-0067], [0085-0095] and [0105-0116]), the display page may be associated with target object types and server may generate recommendation information on the page associated with the target object types; server automatically associate videos of the target account with a display page and provide an entrance for display page in the published video where viewers who watch the published video can also quickly access the display page for additional information or recommendation; PAR further identifies, in response to a recommendation operation instruction generated for the target account, a video to be processed from videos that have been published by the target account; wherein the identified video, has a preset content type, and the preset content type indicates that content of the identified video contains a particular type of object (see [0016-0036] and [0052-0067], [0085-0095] and [0105-0116]), generates groups of thumbnails with preset object types; the display page may be associated with target object types and server may generate information on the page associated with the target object types; server automatically associate videos of the target account with a display page and provide an entrance for display page in the published video where viewers who watch the published video can also quickly access the display page to increase the number of visits to the display page; during playing of the target type objects, recommendation information can be displayed and the viewer can acquire more information; options to subscribe to a channel associated to the channel and publication information corresponding to the videos being playback; and further determines recommendation information corresponding to the target account; and associated with the particular type of object contained in the identify video and automatically configures the recommendation information in the identified video, so as to display the recommendation information when the identified video is to be played viewers (see [0016-0036] and [0052-0067], [0085-0095] and [0105-0116]), generates groups of thumbnails with preset object types; the display page may be associated with target object types and server may generate information on the page associated with the target object types; server automatically associate videos of the target account with a display page and provide an entrance for display page in the published video where viewers who watch the published video can also quickly access the display page to increase the number of visits to the display page; during playing of the target type objects, recommendation information can be displayed and the viewer can acquire more information, the display page may be associated with target object types and server may generate information on the page associated with the target object types; PARs further determines the video content of the published video has the preset content type in response to the video content of the published video being a recommendation content for a target type object and/or in response to the published video being set with a tag corresponding to the preset content type; in response to the target account being associated with a display page of at least one target type object, using a page identifier of the display page as the recommendation information; the automatically configuring the recommendation information, comprises: adding the page identifier in the video to be processed; wherein the page identifier is used to cause the display page to be displayed when triggered (see [0016-0036] and [0052-0067], [0085-0095] and [0105-0116]), generates groups of thumbnails with preset object types; the display page may be associated with target object types and server may generate information on the page associated with the target object types; server automatically associate videos of the target account with a display page and provide an entrance for display page in the published video where viewers who watch the published video can also quickly access the display page to increase the number of visits to the display page; as discussed below in the office action. Hence the amendments to the claims do not overcome the PAR. The amendments to the claims necessitated the new ground(s) of rejection. This office action is made FINAL.
