Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102
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.

Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
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 35 U.S.C. 103 which forms the basis for all obviousness rejections set forth in this Office action:
A patent for a claimed invention may not be obtained, notwithstanding that the claimed invention is not identically disclosed as set forth in section 102, if the differences between the claimed invention and the prior art are such that the claimed invention as a whole would have been obvious before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the claimed invention pertains. Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made.
The text of those sections of Title 35, U.S. Code not included in this action can be found in a prior Office action.
Claims 5-6 and 15-16 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over US 2024/0283998 A1 to Gao et al in view of US 2023/0097683 A1 to LIU and further in view of US 11,706,505 B1 to Wang et al.
As to claim 5, Gao further discloses wherein the content attribute information of the preset type comprises fragment description information and/or fragment interpretation information of the target video fragment, the fragment description information describing an attribute feature of the target video fragment, and the fragment interpretation information reflecting a content feature of the target video fragment (see fig.2 and 7; page.2, ¶0058-¶0061,¶0065).
Gao fails explicitly discloses wherein the fragment description information comprises at least one of playback time information, a video picture, or video interaction data of the target video fragment, wherein the fragment interpretation information comprises fragment digest information corresponding to the target video fragment and/or object description manner information corresponding to the target video fragment, wherein the fragment digest information is obtained by performing digest extraction on target text information, the target text information being obtained by performing speech recognition on the target video fragment, or the fragment digest information is text information obtained by performing speech recognition on the target video fragment, the object description manner information representing a description manner of a recommended object in the target video fragment.
LIU discloses wherein the fragment description information comprises at least one of playback time information, a video picture, or video interaction data of the target video fragment (see fig.2; page.3, ¶0050,¶0054).
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 Gao with the teaching as taught by LIU in order to acquire the highlight content of the long video at a fastest speed, and watch the long video seamlessly.
Gao and LIU fail explicitly discloses wherein the fragment interpretation information comprises fragment digest information corresponding to the target video fragment and/or object description manner information corresponding to the target video fragment, wherein the fragment digest information is obtained by performing digest extraction on target text information, the target text information being obtained by performing speech recognition on the target video fragment, or the fragment digest information is text information obtained by performing speech recognition on the target video fragment, the object description manner information representing a description manner of a recommended object in the target video fragment.
Wang discloses wherein the fragment interpretation information comprises fragment digest information corresponding to the target video fragment and/or object description manner information corresponding to the target video fragment, wherein the fragment digest information is obtained by performing digest extraction on target text information, the target text information being obtained by performing speech recognition on the target video fragment, or the fragment digest information is text information obtained by performing speech recognition on the target video fragment, the object description manner information representing a description manner of a recommended object in the target video fragment (see col.4,ll.18-58).
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 Gao and LIU with the teaching as taught by Wang in order to improve the efficiency of conveying the valuable information of the target video.
As to claim 6, LIU further discloses wherein: the playback time information comprises playback start and end times of the target video fragment, and/or the video picture comprises an initial frame video picture in the target video fragment, and/or the video interaction data comprises an amount of user views and/or user usage, and/or the fragment digest information comprises target text content displayed in a preset manner(see fig.2; page.3,¶0044,¶0050,¶0054), the target text content describing a feature of the recommended object in the target video fragment (see fig.2; page.3, ¶0050,¶0043).
As to claim 15, claim 15 is directed toward embody the method of claim 5 in “computer readable medium”. It would have been obvious to embody the procedures of Gao, LIU and Wang discussed with respect to claim 5 in a “computer readable medium” in order that the instructions could be automatically performed by a processor. It comprises substantially the same method as discussed in claim above; there by the same rejection is applicable.
As to claim 16, claim 16 is directed toward embody the method of claim 6 in “computer readable medium”. It would have been obvious to embody the procedures of Gao, LIU and Wang discussed with respect to claim 6 in a “computer readable medium” in order that the instructions could be automatically performed by a processor. It comprises substantially the same method as discussed in claim above; there by the same rejection is applicable.
