As to claim 16, Peng discloses a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, the computer program being executable by a processor to implement the a method comprising (“Various embodiments of the document format conversion method proposed by embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented in a computer readable medium using, for example, computer software, hardware, or any combination thereof. For hardware implementation, various embodiments of the document format conversion method proposed by the embodiments of the present disclosure may use an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a digital signal processor (DSP), a digital signal processing device (DSPD), a programmable logic device. (PLD), field programmable gate array (FPGA), processor, controller, microcontroller, microprocessor, at least one of the electronic units designed to perform the functions described herein,” Peng paragraph 0148): presenting a first view of a document, the document comprising at least one content block, the at least one content block having a presentation attribute ("As shown in FIG. 2, the first document is a text document, and the second document is a mind map. The display interface can be divided into two. The text document is located in the right area 21… the document title is : <personality classification MBTI>, the first level title is: <INJT type> and <other>, the second level title is <assisted> and <accessory function: extraversion thinking>" Peng paragraph 0073; "As can be seen from FIG. 2, by adopting the document format conversion method provided by the present disclosure, the document content can be converted between different formats according to the attributes of the document content," Peng paragraph 0075; Peng Figure 2 different bolded titles in the document view with content blocks underneath the title where the bolded titles are first or second level title presentation attributes for the content blocks); in response to receiving an indication for presenting a second view of the document, adjusting the presentation attribute of the at least one content block (“Step 103: Determine a second attribute corresponding to the first attribute of each element according to a preset element attribute conversion rule,” Peng paragraph 0062; "The preset element attribute conversion rule may be a file format conversion device, which is automatically generated according to attributes and meanings of elements in the document in various formats, or may be determined according to a user's designation," Peng paragraph 0063; “In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the document format conversion device may first preset a conversion rule between element attributes, and then, after acquiring the first document in the first format to be converted, according to the first element in the first document. An attribute that determines the position and presentation of each element in the second document of the second format. Among them, the second document can be a mind map,” Peng paragraph 0064; "After converting a text document into a mind map, <personality classification MBTI> is the root node, <INJT type> and <other> are the leaf nodes of <personality classification MBTI>, <auxiliary> and <auxiliary function: extraversion thinking> Leaf node of <other>," Peng paragraph 0073, determining a second attribute (i.e., adjusting the presentation attribute) according to a preset element attribute conversion rule which can happen based on a user’s designation of a mind map); and presenting the at least one content block in the second view based on the adjusted presentation attribute ("The display interface can be divided into two. The text document is located in the right area 21, and the mind map is located in the left area 22... After converting a text document into a mind map, <personality classification MBTI> is the root node, <INJT type> and <other> are the leaf nodes of <personality classification MBTI>, <auxiliary> and <auxiliary function: extraversion thinking> Leaf node of <other>," Peng paragraph 0073; Peng Figure 2). As to claim 78, it is substantially similar to claim 2 and is therefore rejected using the same rationale as above. As to claim 79, it is substantially similar to claim 3 and is therefore rejected using the same rationale as above. As to claim 80, it is substantially similar to claim 4 and is therefore rejected using the same rationale as above. As to claim 81, it is substantially similar to claim 5 and is therefore rejected using the same rationale as above. As to claim 82, it is substantially similar to claim 6 and is therefore rejected using the same rationale as above. Conclusion The prior art made of record and not relied upon is considered pertinent to applicant's disclosure: US 20080141126 A1 to Johnson et al. discloses a method and system to aid in viewing digital content where a document can be converted to a mind map to display to a user; US 20200210640 A1 to Zhou discloses a method and apparatus for displaying textual information where text information can be displayed according to a selected text display form which can include a mind map form; US 20250131179 A1 to Zhao et al. discloses a display system, method for processing trajectory point sequence, storage medium and device where free-form text data can be displayed as a mind map; and US 20110264661 A1 to Haenel et al. discloses graphically displaying a file system where files including text document files can be displayed in a mind map where nodes correspond to concepts and paragraphs within the text document files.
