(n0035-38) n0044 discloses the playback of the video currently playing on the multimedia information display page can continue or pause when the rest reminder settings window is displayed. Thus, by displaying the rest reminder setting window in the multimedia information display page, users can complete the setting of the reminder conditions of the rest reminder while watching the multimedia information displayed in the multimedia information display page. (form of displaying the configuration window in the preset page and maintaining the media content displayed in the preset page). It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of Applicant’s invention to have modified the cited art with the disclosed features of Nie et al since it would have provided the benefit of simplify the operations required for the rest reminder setting and improve the user experience (n0019) As per dependent claim 2 , Chang et al discloses after displaying the configuration window of the first page identity in the predetermined page, the method further comprises: in response to a configuration operation acting on the configuration window, updating the first page identity in the predetermined identity list. (FIG 5; n0063: discloses adding and deleting page identifiers in the ordered list and change the arrangement order of each added first page identifier in the configuration page; thereby updating the display order of each first page identifier ) As per dependent claim 3 , Chang et al discloses updating the first page identity in the predetermined identity list comprises: deleting a target first page identity in the predetermined identity list; or adding a target second page identity as the first page identity into the predetermined identity list; or adjusting an arrangement order of a target first page identity in the predetermined identity list; (FIG 5; n0063: add, delete page identifiers, or change order) wherein the target first page identity is a first page identity corresponding to the configuration operation, the target second page identity is a second page identity corresponding to the configuration operation, and the second page identity is a page identity not comprised in the predetermined identity list. (FIG 5; n0063: The main display area (the third region) of the configuration page can display the first page identifier that has been added in the first region and the first page identifier that has not been added in the first region. The user can delete the first page identifier from the first area, add a first page identifier to the first area, or change the order of the added first page identification in the configuration page by dragging operation, and then update the order of the first page identification when displayed in the first area. The first page identification is the corresponding page identification of the first page. The first page is used to display the media content (form of the first page of the target is identified as the first page identification corresponding to the configuration operation, the second page identification of the target is the second page identification corresponding to the configuration operation, and the second page identification is the page identification not included in the preset identification list.) As per independent claims 13-14 , Claims 13-14 recite similar limitations as in Claim 1 and are rejected under similar rationale. Further, Chang et al discloses a processor, medium, and a memory (FIG 7; n0082, 0084-85) As per dependent claims 16-17 , Claims 16-17 recite similar limitations as in Claims 2-3 and are rejected under similar rationale . 07-21-aia AIA Claim (s) 4-9, 18-22 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Chang et al in further view of Nie et al in further view of New et al (US 20060195521, 2006) As per dependent claim 4 , Chang et al discloses wherein the configuration window comprises a first area and a second area, the first area is set to present a first page identity already comprised in the predetermined identity list, the second area is set to present a second page identity not comprised in the predetermined identity list; (n0063; FIG 5: The main display area (the third region) of the configuration page can display the first page identifier that has been added in the first region and the first page identifier that has not been added in the first region. The user can delete the first page identifier from the first area, add a first page identifier to the first area, or change the order of the added first page identification in the configuration page by dragging operation, and then update the order of the first page identification when displayed in the first area. In addition, Chang et al discloses the first page identification is the corresponding page identification of the first page. The first page is used to display the media content (equivalent to the configuration window comprising a first area and a second area), the first area is used to display the first page identification already included in the preset identification list, and the second area is used to display the second page identification not included in the preset identification list; The configuration operation includes the first configuration operation of deleting the target first page identification from the first region to the second region, and the second configuration operation of adding the target second page identification from the second region to the first region; Drag the third configuration action identified by the first page of the target within the first region). Furthermore, Chang et al discloses change the arrangement order of each added first page identifier in the configuration page by dragging (n0063); however, explicitly fails to discloses the configuration operation comprises a first configuration operation of dragging a target first page identity from the first area to the second area, a second configuration operation of dragging a target second page identity from the second area to the first area, or a third configuration operation of dragging a target first page identity within the first area. However, New et al discloses dragging and dropping said media file identifier from a first area to a second area of said user interface. (0037, Claim 42) It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of Applicant’s invention to have modified the cited art with the disclosed features of New et al since it would have provided the intrinsic advantage of improving workflow efficiency, enhancing user experience, and reducing menu clutter. As per dependent claim 5 , Chang et al discloses before updating the first page identity in the predetermined identity list, the method further comprises: controlling a target page identity corresponding to the configuration operation to move along with the configuration operation, wherein the target page identity is the target first page identity or the target second page identity; updating the first page identity in the predetermined identity list comprises: in response to an end of triggering the configuration operation, displaying the target page identity at a displaying position corresponding to the configuration operation in the configuration window, and updating the first page identity in the predetermined identity list. (FIG 5; n0063: The main display area (the third region) of the configuration page can display the first page identifier that has been added in the first region and the first page identifier that has not been added in the first region. The user can delete the first page identifier from the first area, add a first page identifier to the first area, or change the order of the added first page identification in the configuration page by dragging operation, and then update the order of the first page identification when displayed in the first area. The first page identification is the corresponding page identification of the first page, the first page is used to display media content, in response to the configuration operation in the configuration page. Updating the first page identity displayed in the first area) As per dependent claim 6 , Chang et al discloses wherein at least one of the following is displayed in the configuration window: a deleting control corresponding to at least part of the first page identity already comprised in the predetermined identity list, an adding control corresponding to a second page identity not comprised in the predetermined identity list; (FIG 5; n0063: delete and add controls) the configuration operation comprises: a fourth configuration operation acting on a deleting control corresponding to a target first page identity, a fifth configuration operation acting on an adding control corresponding to a target second page identity, or a sixth configuration operation of dragging the target first page identity within the configuration window. (FIG 5; n0063: delete and add operations) As per dependent claim 7 , Chang et al discloses deleting the target first page identity in the predetermined identity list comprises: displaying the target first page identity at a displaying position corresponding to the configuration operation in the configuration window, deleting the target first page identity from the predetermined identity list, and switching from displaying the deleting control corresponding to the target first page identity to displaying an adding control. (FIG 5; n0063: deleting an identifier from the added list causes the identifier to be moved to the not added list wherein the control changes from cancel add (delete) control to an add control) As per dependent claim 8 , Chang et al discloses a dding the target second page identity as the first page identity into the predetermined identity list comprises: displaying the target second page identity at a displaying position corresponding to the configuration operation in the configuration window, adding the target second page identity as a first page identity to the predetermined identity list, and switching from displaying the adding control corresponding to the target second page identity to displaying a deleting control. (FIG 5; n0063: adding an identifier from the not added list cause the identifier to be moved to the added list wherein the control changes from an add control to a cancel add (delete) control) As per dependent claim 9 , Chang et al discloses before adjusting the arrangement order of the target first page identity in the predetermined identity list, the method further comprises: controlling the target first page identity to move along with the configuration operation in the configuration window; adjusting the arrangement order of the target first page identity in the predetermined identity list comprises: in response to an end of trigging the configuration operation, displaying the target first page identity at a displaying position corresponding to the configuration operation in the configuration window, and adjusting the arrangement order of the target first page identity in the predetermined identity list based on an arrangement order of the target first page identity in the configuration window. (n0063: the main display area (i.e., the third area) of the configuration page can display first page identifiers that have been added to the first area 20 (i.e., first page identifiers that can already be displayed in the first area 20) and first page identifiers that have not yet been added to the first area 20 (i.e., first page identifiers that cannot yet be 15 displayed in the first area 20). change the arrangement order of each added first page identifier in the configuration page by dragging, thereby updating the display order of each first page identifier in the first area) As per dependent claims 18-22 , Claims 18-22 recite similar limitations as in Claims 4-8 and are rejected under similar rationale . 07-21-aia AIA Claim (s) 10-11 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Chang et al in further view of Nie et al in further view of Pfohe et al (US7610564, 2009) As per dependent claim 10 , Chang et al discloses the total number of first page icons to be displayed can also be determined according to the needs. For example, the first page icons can be displayed in the first area first. When the total number of first page icons to be displayed is greater than or equal to the preset number of icons to be displayed in the first area, the first page icons are displayed only in the first area. When the total number of first page icons to be displayed is less than the preset number of icons to be displayed in the first area, the first page icons and the second page icons are displayed in the first area at the same time. (n0036) However, the cited art failed to specifically disclose displaying the predetermined identity list in the identity area of the predetermined page comprises: in response to determining that the number of first page identities comprised in the predetermined identity list is smaller than or equal to a predetermined number threshold, displaying all of the first page identities in the predetermined identity list in the identity area of the predetermined page in a first arrangement manner; in response to determining that the number of first page identities comprised in the predetermined identity list is larger than a predetermined number threshold, displaying a part of the first page identities in the predetermined identity list in the identity area of the predetermined page in a second arrangement manner. However, Pfohe et al discloses displaying the predetermined identity list in the identity area of the predetermined page comprises: in response to determining that the number of first page identities comprised in the predetermined identity list is smaller than or equal to a predetermined number threshold, displaying all of the first page identities in the predetermined identity list in the identity area of the predetermined page in a first arrangement manner; (FIG 3; step 304; Col 3, ll. 55-60; Col 4, ll. 15-17: if number is not greater than the threshold, display all items) In addition, Pfohe et al discloses in response to determining that the number of first page identities comprised in the predetermined identity list is larger than a predetermined number threshold, displaying a part of the first page identities in the predetermined identity list in the identity area of the predetermined page in a second arrangement manner. (FIG 3; step 304; Col 3, ll. 55-60; Col 4, ll. 15-17: if number is greater than the threshold, displays a subset of the items ) It would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of Applicant’s invention to have modified the cited art with the disclosed features of New et al since it would have provided the benefit of efficiently presenting a scaleable sparse view that allows a user to find and select a desired content item quickly and easily and still provides a good visualization of the structure of the hierarchy. (Col 3, lines 30-33) As per dependent claim 11 , Claim 11 recites similar limitations as in Claim 10 and is rejected under similar rationale. Chang et al discloses after displaying the part of the first page identities in the predetermined identity list in the identity area of the predetermined page in the second arrangement mode, the method further comprises: in response to an identity updating operation acting on the predetermined area, updating the first page identities displayed in the predetermined area based on an arrangement order of the first page identities in the predetermined identity list. (n0037-38, n0043 performing a sliding operation for the preset page that results in at least one second page identifier is displayed in the first area that was not previously displayed. In addition, one of a skilled artisan would have also realized that user is able to perform the sliding operation multiple times to display additional or previously displayed identifiers that weren’t displayed at that time. In addition, n0063 discloses the user can delete the first page identifier from the first area, add a first page identifier to the first area, or change the order of the added first page identification in the configuration page by dragging operation, and then update the order of the first page identification when displayed in the first area. One of a skilled artisan would have realized once the user has rearranged the order/arrangement of the identifiers a first time, the user is able to rearrange the order a second time and/or add or delete a identifier from the rearranged order.) Conclusion If the Applicant chooses to amend the claims in future filings, the Examiner kindly states any new limitation(s) added to the claims must be described in the specification in such a way as to reasonably convey to one skilled in the relevant art in order to meet the written description requirement of 35 USC 112, first paragraph.
