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 Amendment
The office action is responsive to the amendment received 01/28/2026.
In the response to the Non-Final Office Action 11/03/2025, the applicant states that claims 1, 6-10, 12, 13, and 18 have been amended and claims 5, 11, and 17 have been cancelled. Claims 1-4, 6-11, 12-16, and 18 will be pending.
Claims 1, 6-10, 12, 13, and 18 have been amended and claims 5, 11, and 17 have been cancelled. In summary, Claims 1-4, 6-11, 12-16, and 18 are pending in current application.
Response to Arguments
Applicant's arguments filed 01/28/206 have been fully considered.
Regarding to 35 U.S.C 101 rejection, the amendments have cured the basis of 35 U.S.C 101 rejection. Therefore, the 35 U.S.C 101 rejection of claims 7-12 has been withdrawn.
Regarding to claim 1, the applicant argues that cited arts fail to teach or suggest in response to detecting a change in an orientation of the electronic device: selecting a subset of the plurality of partitions based on correlations between the plurality of types of wellness data associated with the plurality of partitions over time; replacing display of the portion of the associated type of wellness data with a graph representation of the wellness data over time for the subset of the plurality of partitions; and displaying the subset of the plurality of partitions.” as recited in claim 1. The arguments have been fully considered, but they are not persuasive. The examiner cannot concur with the applicant for following reasons:
Nagayama discloses “in response to detecting a change in an orientation of the electronic device”. For example, in Fig. 3 and paragraph [0092], Nagayama teaches a motion of the apparatus main body is detected; Nagayama further teaches the apparatus motion detecting unit 11 in FIG. 1 detects a change in the orientation of the portable information apparatus from the lateral mode to the longitudinal mode. In Fig. 4 and paragraph [0099], Nagayama teaches determining whether a motion of the apparatus main body is detected; Nagayama further teaches if a motion in which the apparatus main body is rotated to be changed from the lateral mode to the longitudinal mode is detected;

Claims 2-4, 6-10, 12-16, and 18 are not allowable due to the similar reasons as discussed above.
Claim Objections
Claims 6, 12 and claim 18 are objected to because of the following informalities: the languages “of claim 5’ in claim 6, “of claim 11” in claim 12 and “The method of claim 17” in claim 18 are not correct. Claims 5, 11 and 17 are cancelled in current amendment. Appropriate correction is required.
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 1-4, 6-10, 12-16, and 18 are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Nagayama (US 20110306389 A1) and in view of Benjamin (US 20100305965 A1).

Nagayama fails to explicitly disclose:
one or more processors; and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for:
based on correlations between the plurality of types of wellness data associated with the plurality of partitions over time;
wellness data over time.
In same field of endeavor, Benjamin teaches:
one or more processors (Fig. 1; [0019]: laptop, portable or handheld device; [0021]: one or more processors); and
memory storing one or more programs configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions for (Fig. 1; [0021]: additional web-based application software and other client software are stored in a memory 132 and are executed by one or more processors 134 of client component 110; [0026]):
