As to claim 16 , de Vries discloses a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing one or more control programs including executable instructions, which when executed by a computer of a display control device having a plurality of home screens each including a field for performing a predetermined function, cause the computer to perform a method (“The one or more processors 120 run or execute various software programs and/or sets of instructions stored in memory 102 to perform various functions for device 100 and to process data,” de Vries paragraph 0041) comprising: displaying a predetermined screen that includes a first field indicating a first home screen included in the plurality of home screens and that is different from the first home screen ("As shown in FIG. 6Z, in response to detecting user input 602-15 on first input region 506 meets a first set of one or more criteria (e.g., a long press without a release from first input region 506), device 100 displays affordances for available focus modes, including a 'Do Not Disturb' mode affordance 618-2, a 'Work' mode affordance 618-4, a 'Sleep' mode affordance 618-8, a 'Driving' mode affordance 618-10, and a 'Personal' mode affordance 618-12," de Vries paragraph 0257; "In some embodiments, device 100 displays focus modes that have already been configured (e.g., previously set up and configured by the user). In some embodiments, device 100 displays some focus modes even if those focus modes are not yet configured (e.g., and when selected, will prompt the user to either configure the focus mode, and/or provide suggested settings for configuring the focus mode," de Vries paragraph 0257; "In some embodiments, in conjunction with changing the notification delivery behavior for a respective set of applications in response to the first input, the electronic device also implements different application content display rules, and/or different wake screen/home screen arrangements (e.g., wallpaper of dark screen, wall paper, and/or apps available on home screen) for a respective operating mode, and will toggle on/off these rules along with the notification delivery behavior rules for a respective focus mode," de Vries paragraph 0304; "In some embodiments, the plurality of operating modes that are toggled on and off and/or selected also includes operating modes that present application content for different sets of applications using different sets of display rules, and/or have different arrangements of application icons and widgets, background, wallpaper, visual appearances for one or more system user interfaces (e.g., time element, font, color scheme, and other visual features), such as the wake screen user interface, lock screen user interface, and/or home screen user interfaces," de Vries paragraph 0306, each focus mode has an associated home screen icons, layout and background; de Vries Figure 6Z 618-2, 618-4, 618-8, 618-10, 618-12) ; and setting a background color for each of the plurality of home screens ("In some embodiments, device 100 displays focus modes that have already been configured (e.g., previously set up and configured by the user). In some embodiments, device 100 displays some focus modes even if those focus modes are not yet configured (e.g., and when selected, will prompt the user to either configure the focus mode, and/or provide suggested settings for configuring the focus mode," de Vries paragraph 0257; "In some embodiments, in conjunction with changing the notification delivery behavior for a respective set of applications in response to the first input, the electronic device also implements different application content display rules, and/or different wake screen/home screen arrangements (e.g., wallpaper of dark screen, wall paper, and/or apps available on home screen) for a respective operating mode, and will toggle on/off these rules along with the notification delivery behavior rules for a respective focus mode," de Vries paragraph 0304; "In some embodiments, the plurality of operating modes that are toggled on and off and/or selected also includes operating modes that present application content for different sets of applications using different sets of display rules, and/or have different arrangements of application icons and widgets, background, wallpaper, visual appearances for one or more system user interfaces (e.g., time element, font, color scheme, and other visual features), such as the wake screen user interface, lock screen user interface, and/or home screen user interfaces," de Vries paragraph 0306, each focus mode has an associated home screen icons, layout and background; de Vries Figure 6Z 618-2, 618-4, 618-8, 618-10, 618-12) , wherein in displaying, the first field included in the predetermined screen is displayed in a first form ("In some embodiments, in conjunction with changing the notification delivery behavior for a respective set of applications in response to the first input, the electronic device also implements different application content display rules, and/or different wake screen/home screen arrangements (e.g., wallpaper of dark screen, wall paper, and/or apps available on home screen) for a respective operating mode, and will toggle on/off these rules along with the notification delivery behavior rules for a respective focus mode," de Vries paragraph 0304; "In some embodiments, the plurality of operating modes that are toggled on and off and/or selected also includes operating modes that present application content for different sets of applications using different sets of display rules, and/or have different arrangements of application icons and widgets, background, wallpaper, visual appearances for one or more system user interfaces (e.g., time element, font, color scheme, and other visual features), such as the wake screen user interface, lock screen user interface, and/or home screen user interfaces," de Vries paragraph 0306, changing the color scheme of on-screen elements including the fields) . However de Vries does not appear to explicitly disclose a limitation wherein in displaying, the first field included in the predetermined screen is displayed in a first form if the background color of the first home screen is set to the first form, and the first field included in the predetermined screen is displayed in a second form if setting of the background color of the first home screen is changed from the first form to the second form in setting a background color. Marimuthu teaches a limitation wherein in displaying, the first field included in the predetermined screen is displayed in a first form if the background color of the first home screen is set to the first form, and the first field included in the predetermined screen is displayed in a second form if setting of the background color of the first home screen is changed from the first form to the second form in setting a background color ("In some implementations, the user may submit information indicating a manner in which color customizing application 220 is to cause a color scheme to be applied to different user interfaces of user device 210 (e.g., user interfaces of different applications of user device 210). For example, the user may submit information indicating a manner in which color customizing application 220 is to cause a color associated with a lock screen user interface of user device 210 (e.g., a background color) to match a primary color of the color scheme, a color associated with a home screen user interface of user device 210 to match a secondary color of the color scheme and a texture represented by the color scheme, colors of application icons of the home screen to match the primary color, a color associated with user interfaces of one or more applications of user device 210 to match a combination of the secondary color and a tertiary color of the color scheme, a color of one or more portions of user interfaces of a particular application of user device 210 to match an object represented by the color scheme, etc," Marimuthu paragraph 0048, colors of on-screen elements can be changed to match a set background color (i.e., an on-screen element's color will change when the background color is changed)). Accordingly it would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to modify the non-transitory computer-readable recording medium of de Vries to automatically determine label colors based on a picked background color as taught by Marimuthu. One would have been motivated to make such a combination so that the colors could match without the user having to manually determine each color thus reducing steps for the user and resulting in greater ease of use . 07-21-aia AIA Claim 13 is rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over de Vries et al. (US 20240393933 A1, hereinafter de Vries) in view of Marimuthu et al. (US 20150378537 A1, hereinafter Marimuthu) in further view of Yoshida (US 20110199637 A1, hereinafter Yoshida) . As to claim 13 de Vries as modified by Marimuthu discloses the display control device according to Claim 1, however neither de Vries nor Marimuthu appear to explicitly disclose a limitation wherein the field for performing a predetermined function is one of a field for performing a print function and a field for performing a scan function. Yoshida teaches a limitation wherein the field for performing a predetermined function is one of a field for performing a print function and a field for performing a scan function (Yoshida Figure 6 "Scan" and "Copy" icons) . Accordingly it would have been obvious to a person of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to modify the device of de Vries to include print and scan icons in a home screen as taught by Yoshida. One would have been motivated to make such a combination so that de Vries’ home screen changing mechanism and customization could work with more kinds of home screen icons and more kinds of devices, thus enhancing the utility of the finished product . Conclusion 07-96 AIA The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure.
