REMARKS
Claims 1-20 are pending in the application. The Examiner has rejected Claim 9
under 35 U.S.C. §112, second paragraph, as being indefinite for failing to point out and
distinctly claim the subject matter which the applicant regards as the invention. The
-4-

APLNDC-WH-A 0000014248

¯
Examiner has rejected Claims 17-19 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by
Irube et al. (U.S. Pat.ent 6,377,818). The Examiner has rejecte.d Claims 1-12, 15 and 16
under 35 U.S.C. §103(a) as being unpatentable over Hsieh et al. (U.S. Patent 5,969,750)
in view oflrube et al. The Examiner has rejected Claims 13 and 14 under 35 U.S.C.
§103(a) as being unpatentable over Hsieh et al. in view oflrube et al., and further in view
of Gerszberg et al. (U.S. Patent 6,044,403). The Examiner has rejected Claim 20 under 35
U.S.C. § 103(a) as being unpatentable over Wagner et al. 00.S. Patent 6,169,911) in view
of Suso et al. (U.S. Patent 6,069,648) and Dawson (U.S. Patent 6,252,588).
The Examiner rejected Claim 9 under 35 U.S.C. § 112, second paragraph. The
Examiner stated that the limitation "the portable phone controller" in line 2 lacks
antecedent basis. Although not addressed by the Examiner, Claim 10 also has a similar
recitation. Claim 1 has been amended to correct this form error, and not for purposes of
patentability.
Claims 16 and 19 have also been amended to correct errors in form and have not
been amended for purposes of patentability.
Turning now to the rejections of the claims, the Examiner rejects Claims 17-19
under 35 U.S.C. §102(e) as anticipated by Irube et al. Disclosed in Irube et al. is a
communication terminal apparatus separated into a housing that is capable of video/voice
communications, and a housing that is capable of only the voice communications.
Amended Claim 17 of the present invention recites a "composite communication terminal
which functions as both a portable phone and a camera", as opposed to the Irube et al.
apparatus which is two separate apparatus. Several additional distinctions between the
cited reference and amended Claim 17 of the present application are that Claim 17 recites
"having one controller", "said user request being input through a camera mode switch and
processed by the controller". Irube does not teach or disclose these elements. Based on
the foregoing, withdrawal of the rejection of Claims 17-19 is respectfully requested.
The Examiner rejected independent Claims 1 and 16 under 35 U.S.C. §103(a) as
being unpatentable over Hsieh et al. in view oflrube et al. Claims 1 and 16 have been
amended, and as amended are distinguishable over the cited references. Particularly,
-5-

APLNDC-WH-A 0000014249

Claim 1 has been amended.to include "a display that displays external images produced
by the camera unit ir~ages and characters produced by the portable phone unit for an on
screen display (OSD) under the control of the portable phone unit; and an interface
between the portable phone unit and the display to display images and characters on the
display under the control of the portable phone unit, the interface comprising an OSD
controller that controls the display of characters and downloaded background images
received from the portable phone unit at a specific position of a currently-displayed
external images on the display in synchronization with one of an external color sync
signal received from the camera unit and an internal color sync signal; and a selector that
selectively outputs an external image signal received from the camera unit and an OSD
image signal received from the OSD controller to be composed of one image on the
display under the control of the OSD controller." Claim 16 has been amended to include
"a display that displays external images produced by the camera trait images and
characters produced by the portable phone unit for an on screen display (OSD) under the
control of the portable phone unit, and an interface between the portable phone unit and
the display that displays images and characters on the display under the control of the
portable phone unit, the interface comprising: an OSD controller that controls the display
of one of a downloaded background image and characters; and a selector that selectively
outputs an external image signal received from one of the camera unit and an OSD image
signal received from the OSD controller under the control of the OSD controller." Irube
and Hseih et al., either alone or in combination, do not disclose the elements recited in
these claims. Based on the foregoing, withdrawal of the rejection of Claims 1 and 16 is
respectfully requested.
Finally, the Examiner rejects independent Claim 20 under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being unpatentable over Wagner et al. in view of Suso et al. and Dawson. Claim 20
relates generally to the e-mail transmission of data in a portable composite
communication terminal. Wagner et al. teaches a graphical user interface for a portable
telephone that provides electronic e-mail. Suso et al. teaches an information
communication terminal device having a video camera. Finally, Dawson teaches a
-6-

APLNDC-WH-A 0000014250

method and apparatus for goviding an audiovisual e-mail system for receiving and
transmitting audiovisual e-mail messages. Claim 20 has been amended, and as amended
is distinguishable over the cited references. Particularly, Claim 20 has been amended to
include "displaying an image most recently captured in a camera mode" and "sequentially
displaying other images stored in a memory through the use of scroll keys". Neither
Wagner et al., Suso et al. nor Dawson, alone or in combination, teach or disclose these
limitations. Based on the foregoing, withdrawal of the rejection of Claim 20 is
respectfully requested.
Independent Claims 1, 16, 17 and 20 are believed to be in condition for
allowance. Without conceding the patentability per se of dependent Claims 2-11, 13-15,
18 and 19, these are likewise believed to be allowable by virtue of their dependence on
their respective amended independent claims. Accordingly, reconsideration and
withdrawal of the rejections of dependent Claims 2-11, 13-15, 18 and 19 is respectfully
requested.
Accordingly, all of the claims pending in the Application, namely, Claims 1-11.
and 13-20, are believed to be in condition for allowance. Should the Examiner believe
that a telephone conference or personal interview would facilitate resolution of any
remaining matters, the Examiner may contact Applicants’ attorney at the number given
below.
