DETAILED ACTION
Notice of Pre-AIA or AIA Status
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
Applicant’s arguments have been considered but are moot because the new ground of rejection does not rely on any reference applied in the prior rejection of record for any teaching or matter specifically challenged in the argument.
Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
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)(1) the claimed invention was patented, described in a printed publication, or in public use, on sale, or otherwise available to the public before the effective filing date of the claimed invention.
Claim(s) 1, 8 15 and 16 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102(a)(1)as being anticipated by JEON et al. (US 20230350627 A1)( JEON).
Regarding claim 1, JEON discloses A multi-view resource allocation method, comprising:
based on determining that an application (APP) of a terminal device is started, determining, by the terminal device, a resource type allocated for the APP based on a current view mode that is a single-view mode or a multi-view mode, and the resource type being a main resource type or a sub-resource type; and;
[0066]-[0080] for when a multi-view execution command is input, the processor 120 may determine at least one content for constituting a multi-view screen based on the context in which the multi-view execution command was input.
acquiring, by the APP, a corresponding resource according to the resource type allocated for the APP, wherein the determining the resource type allocated for the APP comprises:
based on determining that the view mode is the single-view mode, assigning a resource type required by the APP as the resource type allocated for the APP, and
Fig. 2A, [0077] and [0164] The display device 100 may initially display (S1310) a first content (considered as “determining that the view mode is the single-view mode”). the first content may be a content received from the first external device through the first interface (“resource type”)
based on determining that the view mode is the multi-view mode, determining the resource type allocated for the APP based on a display sub-region used by the APP in the multi-view mode.
Fig. 2B and [0066] for if a multi-view function execution command is input while the content A is displayed in the entire areas of the display 110, the processor 120 may display the content A that was being displayed through the entire areas of the display 110 in the first area of the display 110, and display a list including at least one content for constituting the multi-view screen in the second area of the display 110, as illustrated in FIG. 2B. see also [0077]
Regarding claim 8, JEON discloses (currently amended): A computing device, comprising: a memory storing a program for allocating multi-view resources; and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the program to:
enable, based on determining that an application (APP) of a terminal device is started, the terminal device to determine a resource type allocated for the APP based on a current view mode that is a single-view mode or a multi-view mode, and the resource type being a main resource type or a sub-resource type, and acquire, by the APP, a corresponding resource according to the resource type allocated for the APP, wherein, while enabling the terminal device to determine the resource type allocated for the APP, the at least one processor is further configured to:
[0066]-[0080] for when a multi-view execution command is input, the processor 120 may determine at least one content for constituting a multi-view screen based on the context in which the multi-view execution command was input.
based on determining that the view mode is the single-view mode, enable the terminal device to assign a resource type required by the APP as the resource type allocated for the APP, and
Fig. 2A, [0077] and [0164] The display device 100 may initially display (S1310) a first content (considered as “determining that the view mode is the single-view mode”). the first content may be a content received from the first external device through the first interface (“resource type”)
based on determining that the view mode is the multi-view mode, enable the terminal device to determine the resource type allocated for the APP based on a display sub- region used by the APP in the multi-view mode.
Fig. 2B and [0066] for if a multi-view function execution command is input while the content A is displayed in the entire areas of the display 110, the processor 120 may display the content A that was being displayed through the entire areas of the display 110 in the first area of the display 110, and display a list including at least one content for constituting the multi-view screen in the second area of the display 110, as illustrated in FIG. 2B. see also [0077]
Regarding claim 15, JEON discloses (currently amended): A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor cause the processor to execute a method for performing multi-view resource allocation, the method comprising:
based on determining that an application (APP) of a terminal device is started, determining, by the terminal device, a resource type allocated for the APP based on a current view mode that is a single-view mode or a multi-view mode, and the resource type being a main resource type or a sub-resource type; and
[0066]-[0080] for when a multi-view execution command is input, the processor 120 may determine at least one content for constituting a multi-view screen based on the context in which the multi-view execution command was input.
acquiring, by the APP, a corresponding resource according to the S wherein the determining the resource type allocated for the APP comprises:
based on determining that the view mode is the single-view mode, assigning a resource type required by the APP as the resource type allocated for the APP, and
Fig. 2A, [0077] and [0164] The display device 100 may initially display (S1310) a first content (considered as “determining that the view mode is the single-view mode”). the first content may be a content received from the first external device through the first interface (“resource type”)
based on determining that the view mode is the multi-view mode, determining the resource type allocated for the APP based on a display sub-region used by the APP in the multi-view mode.
Fig. 2B and [0066] for if a multi-view function execution command is input while the content A is displayed in the entire areas of the display 110, the processor 120 may display the content A that was being displayed through the entire areas of the display 110 in the first area of the display 110, and display a list including at least one content for constituting the multi-view screen in the second area of the display 110, as illustrated in FIG. 2B. see also [0077]
Regarding claim 16, JEON discloses (previously presented): The method according to claim 1, wherein a Picture-in- Picture (PIP) function is prohibited in the multi-view mode.
Fig. 2B and [0066] for if a multi-view function execution command is input while the content A is displayed in the entire areas of the display 110, the processor 120 may display the content A that was being displayed through the entire areas of the display 110 in the first area of the display 110, and display a list including at least one content for constituting the multi-view screen in the second area of the display 110, as illustrated in FIG. 2B. see also [0077]
Allowable Subject Matter
Claims 2-7 and 9-14 objected to as being dependent upon a rejected base claim, but would be allowable if rewritten in independent form including all of the limitations of the base claim and any intervening claims.
