DETAILED ACTION
Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status
1. The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA .
Response to Arguments
2. Applicant’s arguments with respect to claim(s) 1-11, 13, 14 and 16-22 have been considered but are moot in view of a new ground(s) of rejection discussed below. 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 arts of record (PAR or YANG et al (2022/0239988)) and further argues that the PAR do not meet the amended claims limitations (see Applicant’s Remarks).
In response, Examiner notes Applicant’s arguments, however YAN further discloses the amended claims limitations, i.e., “…wherein if object identification information of an object to be presented which is in a state of being explained exists in the at least one piece of object identification information, the target object identification information is the object identification information of the object to be presented which is in the state of being explained, and presenting, in the video playback page, the comment information corresponding to the target object identification information comprises presenting, in the video playback page, comment information for the object to be presented which is in the state of being explained, and the comment information for the object to be presented which is in the state of being explained is determined according to historical comment information for the object to be presented which is in the state of being explained” (see figs.2-8, [0050-0077], [0081-0097], [0103-0112] and [0148-0179]), User Terminal “UT”/Server, displays the target object and attributes or ID information associated with the object or item, further includes causing an expanding function or enlargement of the object the target object being presented including generating additional enhancement: popup messages, alerts, comments, etc., and presenting these enhancement of additional information, accordingly on the playback page based on the historical comment information or interactions for the object or item to be presented accordingly; target objects may further be presented in multi levels or layers of transparency, which meets the amended claims limitations as discussed below. Hence the amended claims do not overcome the PAR. This office is made FINAL.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
3. In the event the determination of the status of the application as subject to AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103 (or as subject to pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103) is incorrect, any correction of the statutory basis (i.e., changing from AIA to pre-AIA ) for the rejection will not be considered a new ground of rejection if the prior art relied upon, and the rationale supporting the rejection, would be the same under either status.
The following is a quotation of the appropriate paragraphs of 35 U.S.C. 102 that form the basis for the rejections under this section made in this Office action:
A person shall be entitled to a patent unless –
(a)(2) the claimed invention was described in a patent issued under section 151, or in an application for patent published or deemed published under section 122(b), in which the patent or application, as the case may be, names another inventor and was effectively filed before the effective filing date of the claimed invention.
4. Claim(s) 1-11, 13, 14 and 16-22 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(2) as being anticipated by YANG et al (2022/0239988).
