Patentability shall not be negated by the manner in which the invention was made. 07-21-aia AIA Claim (s) 1, 2, 4, 5, 14, 15, 17, and 18 is/are rejected under 35 U.S.C. 103 as being unpatentable over Zhu et al. (US 2012/0215841 A1) in view of Sullivan (US 2019/0028419 A1) . With respect to claim 1, Zhu discloses: a message synchronization method, performed by a terminal (i.e., identifies client/user terminals communicating with servers to carry out multi-group synchronization operations in Zhu, ¶0023-¶0024); the social group channel being a group organization generated by associating M communication groups (i.e., links SNS and IM groups using an association identifier in Zhu, ¶0026-¶0029, ¶0042, ¶0048); and M being an integer greater than or equal to 2 (i.e., synchronizes first and second groups, and also supports multiple groups in Zhu, ¶0028, ¶0048, ¶0060) ; obtaining a channel message according to a channel message transmission operation triggered in the social group channel (i.e., receives user operation/posting information initiated in the associated group system in Zhu, ¶0030, ¶0053, ¶0064); and synchronizing the channel message to the M communication groups. (i.e., sends operation information and association identifiers so one group operation is reflected in associated groups in Zhu, ¶0031, ¶0032, ¶0060, ¶0090). Zhu discloses synchronizing posts across associated groups (¶0065-0066). Zhu do(es) not explicitly disclose the following. Sullivan, in order to increased efficiency of group-based messaging by providing relevant information to receiver channels (¶0067), discloses: comprising: displaying a channel conversation page corresponding to a social group channel (i.e., defines group-based communication channel as virtual feed with channel interfaces displaying messages in Sullivan, ¶0048, ¶0116, ¶0122) ; displaying the channel message in the channel conversation page in response to the channel message transmission operation (i.e., channel interface displays messaging communications in the channel feed after user input/transmission in Sullivan, ¶0048, ¶0116, ¶0118, ¶0121). Based on Zhu in view of Sullivan, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to utilize the teachings of Sullivan to improve upon those of Zhu in order to increased efficiency of group-based messaging by providing relevant information to receiver channels. With respect to claim 2, Zhu discloses: the method according to claim 1, wherein the displaying a channel message in the channel conversation page in response to a channel message transmission operation triggered in the social group channel (i.e., associated group operations allow message contents from different groups to be presented to clients. in Zhu, ¶0030, ¶0053, ¶0062, ¶0064-¶0066) comprises: obtaining a first group message transmitted in the M communication groups by an object in the social group channel (i.e., receives posting/operation information generated by a user in an associated group. in Zhu, ¶0053, ¶0064, ¶0066), the first group message is to be displayed in the social group channel (i.e., synchronized operation contents are sent to associated groups for client display in Zhu, ¶0062, ¶0065, ¶0066) Zhu discloses synchronizing posts across associated groups (¶0065-0066). Zhu do(es) not explicitly disclose the following. Sullivan, in order to increased efficiency of group-based messaging by providing relevant information to receiver channels (¶0067), discloses: ; aggregating the channel message and the first group message to obtain a first channel aggregated message (i.e., compiles multiple channeled copies from different group-based channels into one receiver channel in Sullivan, ¶0123, ¶0124, ¶0134) ; and displaying the first channel aggregated message in the channel conversation page in response to the channel message transmission operation triggered in the social group channel. (i.e., the receiver channel displays compiled channeled copies of selected messaging communications. in Sullivan, ¶0116, ¶0123, ¶0124, ¶0134). Based on Zhu in view of Sullivan, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to utilize the teachings of Sullivan to improve upon those of Zhu in order to increased efficiency of group-based messaging by providing relevant information to receiver channels. With respect to claim 4, Zhu discloses: the method according to claim 1, further comprising: (i.e., synchronized operations include displaying content from one associated group in another group context in Zhu, ¶0062, ¶0065, ¶0066) Zhu discloses synchronizing posts across associated groups (¶0065-0066). Zhu do(es) not explicitly disclose the following. Sullivan, in order to increased efficiency of group-based messaging by providing relevant information to receiver channels (¶0067), discloses: displaying the channel message and source information of the channel message in a group conversation page of a first communication group of the M communication groups in response to a message viewing operation performed on the first communication group (i.e., channeled copies include information identifying the source channel where the original message was first received in Sullivan, ¶0124, ¶0126); wherein the source information of the channel message indicates that the channel message comes from the social group channel (i.e., stores and displays the source group-based channel for copied messages. in Sullivan, ¶0124, ¶0126). Based on Zhu in view of Sullivan, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to utilize the teachings of Sullivan to improve upon those of Zhu in order to increased efficiency of group-based messaging by providing relevant information to receiver channels. With respect to claim 5, Zhu discloses: the method according to claim 4, wherein the displaying the channel message in a group conversation page of a first communication group (i.e., associated-group messages and operations are synchronized and displayed on group clients in Zhu, ¶0060, ¶0062, ¶0065, ¶0066) Zhu discloses synchronizing posts across associated groups (¶0065-0066). Zhu do(es) not explicitly disclose the following. Sullivan, in order to increased efficiency of group-based messaging by providing relevant information to receiver channels (¶0067), discloses: comprises: obtaining a second group message transmitted in the M communication groups by an object in the social group channel (i.e., receives group-based messaging communications from channels other than the receiver channel in Sullivan, ¶0134), the second group message is to be displayed in the first communication group (i.e., selected messages are reproduced into a receiver channel for display in Sullivan, ¶0118, ¶0121); aggregating the channel message and the second group message to obtain a second channel aggregated message (i.e., compiles channeled copies from multiple source channels into one receiver channel in Sullivan, ¶0123, ¶0124, ¶0134); and displaying the second group aggregated message in the group conversation page of the first communication group (i.e., the receiver channel presents multiple channeled copies as a combined feed. in Sullivan, ¶0048, ¶0116, ¶0123, ¶0124). Based on Zhu in view of Sullivan, it would have been obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art before the effective filing date of the claimed invention to utilize the teachings of Sullivan to improve upon those of Zhu in order to increased efficiency of group-based messaging by providing relevant information to receiver channels. With respect to claim 14, the limitation(s) of claim 14 are similar to those of claim(s) 1. Therefore, claim 14 is rejected with the same reasoning as claim(s) 1. With respect to claim 15, the limitation(s) of claim 15 are similar to those of claim(s) 2. Therefore, claim 15 is rejected with the same reasoning as claim(s) 2.
