CTNF 18/909,155 CTNF 97084 DETAILED ACTION Notice of AIA Status 07-03-aia AIA 15-10-aia The present application, filed on or after March 16, 2013, is being examined under the first inventor to file provisions of the AIA. Information Disclosure Statement The information disclosure statement (IDS) submitted on 10/08/2024 is in compliance with the provisions of 37 CFR 1.97. Accordingly, the information disclosure statement is being considered by the examiner. Priority 02-27 AIA Acknowledgment is made of applicant’s claim for foreign priority under 35 U.S.C. 119 (a)-(d). The certified copy has been filed in parent Application No. JP2022-064525 , filed on 04/08/2022 . 12-151 AIA 26-51 12-51 Status of Claims Claims were amended pursuant to a preliminary amendment filed together with the initial set on 10/08/2024. For the examination purpose, the claim set with amended claims have been used. Claim 28 was cancelled. Claims 1-27 are pending of which Claims 1, 16, 26 and 27 are independent. Claim Objections Claim 9 is objected to because of the following informalities: In claim 9, line 3 recites “ an S/N of sound related to user’s speech”, where the term S/N is not clear. For examination purpose “an S/N” is considered as “a signal to noise ratio”. Applicant is advised to amend the claim to clarify. 35 U.S.C. 112(f) Claim Interpretation The following is a quotation of 35 U.S.C. 112(f): (f) Element in Claim for a Combination. – An element in a claim for a combination may be expressed as a means or step for performing a specified function without the recital of structure, material, or acts in support thereof, and such claim shall be construed to cover the corresponding structure, material, or acts described in the specification and equivalents thereof. 07-30-05 The claims in this application are given their broadest reasonable interpretation using the plain meaning of the claim language in light of the specification as it would be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The broadest reasonable interpretation of a claim element (also commonly referred to as a claim limitation) is limited by the description in the specification when 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, is invoked. As explained in MPEP § 2181, subsection I, claim limitations that meet the following three-prong test will be interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph: (A) the claim limitation uses the term "means" or "step" or a term used as a substitute for "means" that is a generic placeholder (also called a nonce term or a nonstructural term having no specific structural meaning) for performing the claimed function; (B) the term "means" or "step" or the generic placeholder is modified by functional language, typically, but not always linked by the transition word "for'' (e.g., "means for'') or another linking word or phrase, such as "configured to" or "so that"; and (C) the term "means" or "step" or the generic placeholder is not modified by sufficient structure, material, or acts for performing the claimed function. Use of the word "means" (or "step") in a claim with functional language creates a rebuttable presumption that the claim limitation is to be treated in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph. The presumption that the claim limitation is interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, is rebutted when the claim limitation recites sufficient structure, material, or acts to entirely perform the recited function. Absence of the word "means" (or "step") in a claim creates a rebuttable presumption that the claim limitation is not to be treated in accordance with 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph. The presumption that the claim limitation is not interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, is rebutted when the claim limitation recites function without reciting sufficient structure, material or acts to entirely perform the recited function. Claim limitations in this application that use the word "means" (or "step") are being interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, except as otherwise indicated in an Office action. Conversely, claim limitations in this application that do not use the word "means" (or "step") are not being interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, except as otherwise indicated in an Office action. This application includes one or more claim limitations that do not use the word "means," but are nonetheless being interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, because the claim limitation(s) uses a generic placeholder that is coupled with functional language without reciting sufficient structure to perform the recited function and the generic placeholder is not preceded by a structural modifier. Such claim limitation(s) is/are: “ biometric information detection unit” in claims 1, 2, 16, 18-21, 23-27, “sound information detection unit” in claims 1-13, 16, 17, 20, 24-27, ” determination unit” in claims 1, 8-12, 16, 20, 26, “conversion unit” in claims 1, 2, 3, 7 -13, 15-18, 20, 24, 26, “wearing detection unit” in claims 18,19, 21, “receiving unit”, in claims 20, 26, “transmitting unit”, in claim 20, “processing unit”, in claim 23. Because this/these claim limitation(s) is/are being interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, it/they is/are being interpreted to cover the corresponding structure described in the specification as performing the claimed function, and equivalents thereof. If applicant does not intend to have this/these limitation(s) interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph, applicant may: (1) amend the claim limitation(s) to avoid it/them being interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph (e.g., by reciting sufficient structure to perform the claimed function); or (2) present a sufficient showing that the claim limitation(s) recite(s) sufficient structure to perform the claimed function so as to avoid it/them being interpreted under 35 U.S.C. 112(f) or pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 112, sixth paragraph. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 101 07-04-01 AIA 07-04 35 U.S.C. 101 reads as follows: Whoever invents or discovers any new and useful process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter, or any new and useful improvement thereof, may obtain a patent therefor, subject to the conditions and requirements of this title. Claims 1-27 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 101 because the claimed invention is directed to an abstract idea without significantly more. The Independent claim 1 recites “a biometric information detection unit that detects biometric information from one or more parts of a user”; “a sound information detection unit that detects sound information”; “a determination unit that determines whether a characteristic of the sound information satisfies a certain condition”; “and a conversion unit that outputs text information or audio information converted from the biometric information detected by the biometric information detection unit using a first conversion method in a case where the characteristic of the sound information detected by the sound information detection unit does not satisfy the certain condition”, “and outputs text information converted from the sound information detected by the sound information detection unit using a second conversion method in a case where the characteristic of the sound information satisfies the certain condition”. The limitations above as drafted, is a process that, under its broadest reasonable interpretation, covers a mental process, as this could be performed in the human mind or with the aid of pen and paper. The limitation of " detects ... ", "determines ... ", "outputs ... ", as drafted covers mental activities. More specifically, one person can utter a speech, another person can hear the utterance and determine from the volume of speech of the first person, if the first person need to raise his/her voice or lower it down or may be he/she can write it down instead of speaking it out loud. The above steps, as drafted, is a process that under its broadest reasonable interpretation, covers performance of the limitation in the mind. There is, nothing in the claim element precludes the step from practically being performed in the human mind or with the aid of pen and paper. Additionally, the mere nominal recitation of a generic computer appliance does not take the claim limitation out of the mental processes grouping. Thus, the claim recites a mental process. The claim recites the additional limitations of “biometric information detection unit”, “ sound information detection unit”, “determination unit”, “conversion unit” for performing the method, which are recited at a high level of generality and are recited as performing generic computer functions routinely used in computer applications. The current specification in paragraph [0015],[0016],[00118] specifies that biometric information detection unit, sound information detection unit can include sensors to detect biometric information or sound, which are generic. Throughout the specification, conversion unit, determination unit are also recited as performing generic computer functions routinely used in computer applications. None of the additional elements are sufficient to amount to significantly more than the judicial exception. All those are recited at a high level of generality and are recited as performing generic computer functions routinely used in computer applications. This is no more than mere instructions to apply the exception using a generic computer component. Accordingly, this additional elements do not integrate the abstract idea into a practical application because it does not impose any meaningful limits on practicing the abstract idea. Thus, taken alone, the additional elements do not amount to significantly more than the above identified judicial exception (the abstract idea). Looking at the limitations as an ordered combination adds nothing that is not already present when looking at the elements taken individually. There is no indication that the combination of elements improves the functioning of a computer or improves any other technology. Their collective functions merely provide conventional computer implementation. Claim 1 is therefore not drawn to eligible subject matter as this is directed to an abstract idea without significantly more than the abstract idea. The Independent claim 16 recites “a biometric information detection unit that detects biometric information from one or more parts of a user”; “a sound information detection unit that detects sound information”; “a determination unit that determines whether a characteristic of the sound information satisfies a certain condition”; “and a conversion unit that outputs text information or audio information converted from the biometric information detected by the biometric information detection unit using a first conversion method in a case where the characteristic of the sound information detected by the sound information detection unit does not satisfy the certain condition”, “and outputs text information converted from information including the sound information and the biometric information using a third conversion method in a case where the characteristic of the sound information satisfies the certain condition”. The limitations above as drafted, is a process that, under its broadest reasonable interpretation, covers a mental process, as this could be performed in the human mind or with the aid of pen and paper. The limitation of " detects ... ", "determines ... ", "outputs ... ", as drafted covers mental activities. More specifically, one person can utter a speech, another person can hear the utterance and determine from the volume of speech of the first person, if the first person need to raise his/her voice or lower it down or may be he/she can write it down instead of speaking it out loud. The above steps, as drafted, is a process that under its broadest reasonable interpretation, covers performance of the limitation in the mind. There is, nothing in the claim element precludes the step from practically being performed in the human mind or with the aid of pen and paper. Additionally, the mere nominal recitation of a generic computer appliance does not take the claim limitation out of the mental processes grouping. Thus, the claim recites a mental process.

Looking at the limitations as an ordered combination adds nothing that is not already present when looking at the elements taken individually. There is no indication that the combination of elements improves the functioning of a computer or improves any other technology. Their collective functions merely provide conventional computer implementation. Claim 16 is therefore not drawn to eligible subject matter as this is directed to an abstract idea without significantly more than the abstract idea. The Independent claim 26 recites “a receiving unit that receives biometric information detected by a biometric information detection unit and sound information detected by a sound information detection unit”; “a determination unit that determines whether a characteristic of the sound information satisfies a certain condition”; “and a conversion unit that outputs text information or audio information converted from the biometric information detected by the biometric information detection unit using a first conversion method in a case where the characteristic of the sound information detected by the sound information detection unit does not satisfy the certain condition”,” and outputs text information converted from the sound information using a second conversion method in a case where the characteristic of the sound information satisfies the certain condition”.

Claim 26 is therefore not drawn to eligible subject matter as this is directed to an abstract idea without significantly more than the abstract idea. The Independent claim 27 recites “a step of receiving biometric information detected by a biometric information detection unit and sound information detected by a sound information detection unit”; “a step of determining whether a characteristic of the sound information satisfies a certain condition”; “and a step of outputting text information or audio information converted from the biometric information detected by the biometric information detection unit using a first conversion method in a case where the characteristic of the sound information detected by the sound information detection unit does not satisfy the certain condition”, “and outputting text information converted from the sound information using a second conversion method in a case where the characteristic of the sound information satisfies the certain condition”.

( JP 2014027459 A), hereinafter referenced as Omori, in view of Shin et al. ( US 20220261218 A1), hereinafter referenced as Shin . Regarding Claim 1, Omori teaches an information conversion system comprising: a biometric information detection unit that detects biometric information [from one or more parts of a user] (Omori: Para.[0012],[0014], Figs. 1, 2, A head mounted display device includes the glasses 11, the display device 12, the sound information input / output device 13, and the air conduction microphone 14. The sound information input / output device 13 is a headphone type device that covers the user's ear and includes a bone conduction microphone 31 ( biometric information detection unit)); a sound information detection unit that detects sound information (Omori: Para.[0014],[0017], Figs. 1, 2, The sound information input / output device 13 includes a bone conduction microphone 31, an air conduction earphone 32, and a bone conduction earphone 33, an air conduction microphone 14. Air conduction microphone detects the sound travelling through air ( from another device)( sound information detection unit). Bone conduction microphone detects sound of the user( sound information detection unit) ) ; a determination unit that determines whether a characteristic of the sound information satisfies a certain condition ( Omori: Para.[0011], [0018], Figs. 1, 2, head mounted display device ( HMD) includes a control device 3, which includes CPU 41 which controls the entire control device 3 and is electrically connected to other electronic devices included in the control device 3. Para. [0021],[0022], the CPU 41 ( determination unit) executes call environment determination processing (S10). CPU 41 acquires the sound information, specifies the sound level around the HMD and transmits data including the specified sound level to the other device (S20). The sound level is represented by a known index that represents the degree of loudness of the surrounding sound. The CPU 41 determines whether the sound level of the HMD is equal to or less than a threshold(S30). The threshold is a value set in advance to determine whether the environment around the HMD is a noise environment based on the sound level of the HMD specified in S20.) ; and a conversion unit that outputs text information or audio information [converted from the biometric information detected by the biometric information detection unit] using a first conversion method in a case where the characteristic of the sound information detected by the sound information detection unit does not satisfy the certain condition ( Omori: Para.[0024]-[0026], when the sound level of HMD and the sound level of the other device is smaller than the threshold, the flag ( to determine call environment) is off, which indicates that the call environment is determined not to be a noise environment. CPU 21 ( conversion unit) converts the sound information received from the other device into a sound using the air conduction type earphone 32 and outputs the sound (S85) ( first conversion)). and outputs text information converted from the sound information detected by the sound information detection unit using a second conversion method in a case where the characteristic of the sound information satisfies the certain condition ( Omori: Para.[0024],[0025], [0029], when the sound level of HMD and the sound level of the other device is larger than the threshold, the flag ( to determine call environment) is on, which means it’s a noise environment. CPU 21 ( conversion unit) converts the sound information received from the other device into a sound using the bone conduction type earphone 33 based on the instruction received from the control device 3 and outputs the sound (S70). Next, the CPU 41 recognizes the voice of the sound information acquired in S60 and converts it into text (S75) ( second conversion method) and displayed on display 28 of HMD). Omori while teaching the system of claim 1, fails to explicitly teach the claimed, a biometric information detection unit that detects biometric information from one or more parts of a user; a conversion unit that outputs text information or audio information converted from the biometric information detected by the biometric information detection unit. However, Shin does teach the claimed, a biometric information detection unit that detects biometric information from one or more parts of a user ( Shin: Para.[0129], Figs.5,6A, when the user wearing the electronic device 501 ( biometric information detection unit) utters speech, the electronic device 501 may detect a movement pattern (for example, jaw movements) of the user by the acceleration sensor ( sensor 623)). a conversion unit that outputs text information or audio information converted from the biometric information detected by the biometric information detection unit ( Shin: Para.[0134], [035], Fig.6A, speaker identification module 614 may detect whether the user of the electronic device 501 (biometric determination unit) is speaking by using the acceleration sensor 623 and upon detection of a speech of the user, the electronic device 501 may switch to the dialog mode. The speaker output control module 615 ( conversion unit) may decrease the volume of audio currently being output through the speaker 621 by as much as a specified value ( or a specified level) or stop (for example, mute) the audio output).

When the sound level of HMD and the sound level of the other device is larger than the threshold, the flag ( to determine call environment) is on, which means it’s a noise environment. CPU 21 converts the sound information to sound and later to text ( second conversion method). When the sound level of HMD and the sound level of the other device is smaller than the threshold, the flag ( to determine call environment) is off, which means the call environment is not a noise environment.

(US 10653856 B2) teaches a sleep assistance device is provided-for, including a housing, a contactless biometric sensor, a processor, memory, and a speaker. The processor may detect a user's sleep state by reading signals from the contactless biometric sensor based on at least one of a detected change in heartrate, body movement, or respiration. The processor may also arrange a soundscape including individual sound records representing sounds associated with the selected soundscape based, at least in part, on the detected sleep state of a user. Wang et al. (US 10778826 B1) teaches systems and methods for facilitating communication between a user and other users, services, and so forth. A wearable device, such as a pair of glasses, may be worn and used in conjunction with another user device, such as a smartphone, to support communications between the user and others. Inputs such as motion of the head, orientation of the head, verbal input, and so forth may be used to initiate particular functions on the wearable device, the user device, or with a service. For example, a user may turn their head to the left and speak to send a message to a particular person. A display light in the field of view of the user may illuminate to a particular color that has been previously associated with the particular person. This provides visual feedback to the user about the recipient of the message. Iwata et al. (US 20200175988 A1) teaches a voice biometrics system execute machine-learning architectures capable of passive, active, continuous, or static operations, or a combination thereof. Systems passively and/or continuously, in some cases in addition to actively and/or statically, enrolling speakers as the speakers speak into or around an edge device ( e.g., car, television, radio, phone). The system identifies users on the fly without requiring a new speaker to mirror prompted utterances for reconfiguring operations. The system manages speaker profiles as speakers provide utterances to the system. Machine-learning architectures implement a passive and continuous voice biometrics system, possibly without knowledge of speaker identities. Ushiba et al. (US 20200237250 A1 ) teaches a biometric information processing device (1) which includes a brain wave detecting unit (10), a control unit (20), and a movement assisting unit (30). The brain wave detecting unit (10) detects biometric information in at least one brain region from among a plurality of brain regions that are selectable in accordance with a body part that is a target of function recovery or function improvement. The control unit (20) determines, based on the detected biometric information, at least one activity state in the brain including the location of the brain region(s) that is (are) activated in a subject while attempting to move the body part, and an activation level of such activated brain region(s). When the control unit (20) determines that the at least one activated state of the brain satisfies a predetermined condition, the movement assisting unit (30) executes a predetermined motion to assist movement of the body part.
