Allowable Subject Matter
The following is an examiner's statement of reasons for allowance:
As to claim 1, Masuoka et al (US 2005/0136845) teaches method and apparatus .
for location determination using mini-beacons. Krumm et al (US 2004/0263388)
teaches system and method for determining the location dynamics of a portable
computing device. Meunier et al (US 7,042,391) teaches mobile device and method for
determining location of mobile device. Patil et al (US 2006/0061476) teaches method
and system for autonomous correlation of sensed environmental attributes with entities.
Sheynblat et al (US 2006/0009235) teaches method and apparatus for determining
... wireless mobile network. Vesuna (US 2006/0002326) teaches reconfigureable arrays
of wireless access points. Reeves (US 2005/0251326) teaches web service for mobile
device tracking. The teaching of above prior arts either alone or in combine fails to
teach further comprising based on the number of Wi-Fi access points identified via
received messages, choosing a corresponding location-determination algorithm from a
plurality of location-determination algorithms, said chosen algorithm being suited for the
number of identified Wi-Fi access points;
Dependent claims 2-10 are allowed for the same reason.
Any comments considered necessary by applicant must be submitted no later than the
payment of the issue fee and, to avoid processing delays, should preferably accompany
the issue fee. Such submissions should be clearly labeled "Comments on Statement of
Reasons for Allowance."
