Claim Rejections - 35 USC § 103
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.
Claims 3-4 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Zhou in view Liang (US 2024/0078385).
Regarding claim 3, Zhou discloses the content generation method according to claim 1, wherein the content generation method is applied to a terminal device, and the displaying live-streaming textual content that is for the target object and generated based on the target information comprises:
sending the target information to a server, so that the server obtains the live-streaming
textual content for the target object based on the target information, and sends the live-streaming textual content to the terminal device and generate the textual content required for live-streaming based on input information (sending a request message with object extracted identification information to a service terminal which in turns sends reference information to the user terminal wherein the explanation prompt information of the target object is determined as the reference information of the object to be broadcast; see at least paragraphs 0058-0059, 0074 and 0079); and
displaying the live-streaming textual content after receiving the live-streaming textual content (see at least Figs. 1-2 and 5 and paragraphs 0036, 0067-0068 and 0075), but is not clear about a server with a text generation model.
Liang discloses the above missing limitation; a text about a commodity is sent to a server and the server is loaded with pre-trained text generation model; see at least paragraph 0066.
Therefore, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filling date of the claimed invention to modify Zhou by the teachings of Liang by having the above limitations so to be able to obtain summary of a commodity information; see at least paragraph 0066.
Regarding claim 4, Zhou in view of Liang disclose the content generation method according to claim 3, wherein the sending the target information to a server, so that the server obtains the live-streaming textual content for the target object based on the target information and a text generation model comprises:
sending the target information to the server, so that the server inputs the target information
into the text generation model, to obtain live-streaming textual content that is output by the text generation model and for the target object, wherein the text generation model is used to generate divergence information related to the target information based on the target information, and generate the live-streaming textual content for the target object based on the target information and the divergence information (the live streaming textual content of Zhou; as above, in combination with the text generation model of Liang; see at least paragraph 0066).
