Claim (s) 1-9 and 11-15 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Lee (US 20100045518 A1) Mo (US 20090177376 A1, IDS) . Regarding claim 1: Lee (US 20100045518 A1) discloses an information processing method for providing information to a user (in Fig. 1), the method comprising: acquisition processing (i.e. processing at 180) of acquiring movement of the user and provision processing (processing at 115) of, when it is determined that the user is present at a predetermined location ([0116-0117]), (location position for user’s start point) ( user’s with mobile terminal 100 is moved to a different location , the controller 180 operates the location information module to determine the location information corresponding to the different location ), selecting at least one of a plurality of contents set for the predetermined location based on the movement of the user and providing the selected content to the user (in [0112], image data can be, for example, a photo or a video. Therefore, the controller 180 can advantageously manage the image data using the supplementary information. In addition, the EXIF format allows the storing of GPS related information, such as latitude and longitude information, an altitude reference, an altitude, a GPS time, an atomic time, and geodetic survey data ) , and the provision unit selects, at least one of a plurality of second locations (user has moved to a different location, updated geographical information may be received from the external terminal 100 or the server using wireless communications. For example, the geographical information corresponding to the location information determined by the location information module 115 can be received by wireless communication with a geographical information system (GIS) ) which are other locations different from a first predetermined location ([0125-0126] and [0152], ([0152] As shown in FIG. 9B-9C and [0154] FIGS. 10A-10C illustrate an exemplary sequence of screens showing an operation of a geotagging function in the mobile terminal 100, according location information ). Note that Lee does not specifically disclose an acquisition unit configured to acquire movement means of the user, and the provision unit selects, based on the movement means of the user, at least one of a plurality of second predetermined locations and the predetermined location where the user is determined to be present, and provides a content related to the selected second predeter location to the user. Mo discloses an acquisition unit (processor at Fig. 5B) configured to acquire movement means of the user (see Fig. 7), acquisition processing of acquiring movement means of the user (e.g. user with mobile device move to different place by means at Fig. 7) and the provision unit (location detector) selects [0109-0112], based on the movement means of the user, at least one of a plurality of second predetermined locations and the predetermined location where the user is determined to be present (i.e. intendent destination), and provides a content (see Fig. 5B, S550, and S555) related to the selected second pre- determined location to the user [0109-0112]). Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to modify Lee with the teaching of Mo, thereby providing outputs travel guide information to guide the user along the travel route while outputting contents . Regarding claim 15: Lee discloses an information processing device (Fig. 1) comprising: a controller (180, 110, Fig. 1) configured to execute processing of providing information to a user [0035-0039], wherein the controller includes: a provision unit (115) configured to, when it is determined that the user is present at a predetermined location ([0116-0117]), select at least one of a plurality of contents set (e.g. image information) for the predetermined location based on the movement means of the user and provide the selected content to the use (in [0112], image data can be, for example, a photo or a video. Therefore, the controller 180 can advantageously manage the image data using the supplementary information. In addition, the EXIF format allows the storing of GPS related information, such as latitude and longitude information, an altitude reference, an altitude, a GPS time, an atomic time, and geodetic survey data ) , and the provision unit selects, at least one of a plurality of second locations (user has moved to a different location, updated geographical information may be received from the external terminal 100 or the server using wireless communications. For example, the geographical information corresponding to the location information determined by the location information module 115 can be received by wireless communication with a geographical information system (GIS) ) which are other locations different from a first predetermined location ([0125-0126] and [0152], ([0152] As shown in FIG. 9B-9C and [0154] FIGS. 10A-10C illustrate an exemplary sequence of screens showing an operation of a geotagging function in the mobile terminal 100, according location information ). Note that Lee does not specifically disclose an acquisition unit configured to acquire movement means of the user, and the provision unit selects, based on the movement means of the user, at least one of a plurality of second predetermined locations and the predetermined location where the user is determined to be present, and provides a content related to the selected second predeter location to the user. Mo discloses an acquisition unit (processor at Fig. 5B) configured to acquire movement means of the user (see Fig. 7), acquisition processing of acquiring movement means of the user (e.g. user with mobile device move to different place by means at Fig. 7) and the provision unit (location detector) selects [0109-0112], based on the movement means of the user, at least one of a plurality of second predetermined locations and the predetermined location where the user is determined to be present (i.e. intendent destination), and provides a content (see Fig. 5B, S550, and S555) related to the selected second pre- determined location to the user [0109-0112]). Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to modify Lee with the teaching of Mo, thereby providing outputs travel guide information to guide the user along the travel route while outputting contents . Regarding claim 2: Lee discloses determination processing of determining that the user is present at the predetermined location based on satisfaction of a proximity condition between the predetermined location and an electronic device associated with the user (Lee in [0054] discloses user’s mobile terminal 100, unit 140 detects a current status or state of the mobile terminal 100, such as an opened or closed state, a location of the mobile terminal, the presence or absence of user contact with the mobile terminal by the proximity sensor 141, the orientation of the mobile terminal, or an acceleration or deceleration movement and direction of the mobile terminal. The sensing unit 140 may include a proximity sensor 141, the sensing unit 140 can also generate commands or signals for controlling the operation of the mobile terminal 100). Regarding claim 3: Lee in view of Mo discloses wherein, in the determination processing, it is determined that the proximity condition is satisfied (i.e. presence or absent of the user) and it is determined that the user is present at the predetermined location in any one of a case where a current location of the electronic device is included within a predetermined range (star and end point of the travelling rout) based on the predetermined location (see LEE [0054] and Mo [0066-0067, 0135-0137]); a case where feature information related to the predeternined location is included in a captured image acquired by the electronic device (Lee, [0061]), a case where exchange of predetermined information using wireless communication or wired communication is executed between the electronic device and a communication device (server) installed at the predetermined location (see Lee [0056]) and (Mo, [0066-0067, 0135-0137])). Same motivation as applied to claim 1. regarding claim 4: Lee in view of Mo discloses wherein, in the determination processing, when a feature portion of an object (i.e. image) installed at the predetermined location is included in the captured image, or when predetermined identification information is included in the captured image, it is determined that the feature information is included in the captured (see Lee [0056]) and (Mo, [0066-0067, 0135-0137], Fig. 15).
