CTNF 19/017,063 CTNF 80987 DETAILED ACTION Notice of Pre-AIA or 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. Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 102 07-06 AIA 15-10-15 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. 07-07-aia AIA 07-07 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 – 07-08-aia AIA (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. 07-15-aia AIA Claim(s) 1-20 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 102 (a)(1) as being anticipated by Kamakin (RU 2158021 C1) . Referring to claims 1, 8 & 15, Kamakin discloses comprising receiving a first user input at a user device to begin a breathing sequence (determine number of breaths); providing first heart rate information on a display of the user device during a first phase of the breathing sequence, wherein the first heart rate information is generated based on first collected heart rate data (heart rate sensor); causing fluctuation of a fluctuating user interface element on the display of the user device during a second phase of the breathing sequence (display of fluctuations); and providing second heart rate information on the display of the user device during a third phase of the breathing sequence, wherein the second heart rate information is generated based on second collected heart rate data (readings). Referring to claims 2 & 9 & 16, Kamakin discloses wherein the first heart rate information comprises a first heart rate user interface element and a first heart metric, and the second heart rate information comprises a second heart rate user interface element and a second heart metric (heart rate sensor). Referring to claims 3, 10 & 17, Kamakin discloses wherein the first heart rate user interface element pulsates in a manner that corresponds to a first measured heart rate based on the first collected heart rate data (reading/display of fluctuations). Referring to claims 4, 11 & 18, Kamakin discloses wherein the second heart rate user interface element pulsates in a manner that corresponds to a second measured heart rate based on the second collected heart rate data (heart rate sensor). Referring to claims 5, 12 & 19, Kamakin discloses further comprising: during the first phase of the breathing sequence, collecting the first heart rate data using one or more sensors of the user device (heart rate sensor & square pulse generator); and during the third phase of the breathing sequence, collecting the second heart rate data using the one or more sensors of the user device (heart rate sensor & square pulse generator). Referring to claims 6 & 13, Kamakin discloses wherein the first phase comprises a preliminary phase, the second phase comprises a breathing phase, and the third phase comprises a concluding phase, and wherein the breathing phase occurs before the concluding phase and after the preliminary phase (square pulse generator). Referring to claims 7 & 14 & 20, Kamakin discloses wherein the fluctuation comprises repeated growing and repeated shrinking of the fluctuating user interface element at a cyclic rate during the second phase, the cyclic rate corresponding to breath ratio (breaths and exhalations of fluctuations).
