Doc. 52 Att. 9

Application/Control Number: 09/550,476 Art Unit 3661
REASONS FOR ALLOWANCE

a
Page 2

The following is an examiner's statement of reasons for allowance:

U.S. Patent No. 5,821,069 discloses a method and a system which make reliable forecasting of the traffic flows at selected locations or in selected sections of a road network possible and thereby permit, in particular, effective traffic direction and guiding of vehicles to their destinations. to cornmunicate with all of the vehicle control units and

with passenger telephones. U.S. Patent No. discloses a method is provided for
processing position and travel related information through a data processing station on

a data network. In one embodiment, a GPS receiver is used to obtain a measured
position fix of a mobile unit. The measured position fix is reported to the data processing station which associates the reported position
t-o

a map of the area. Typically, the

measured position of the mobile unit is marked and identified by a marker on the map.

The area map is then stored in the data processing station and made available for
access by authorized monitor units or mobite units. An authorized monitor unit may request for a specific area map by sending a request through the data network. Upon receiving a request, the data processing unit sends the area map to the monitor unit. Data processing station may also perform a database search for travel-related information, such as directions to a gasoline station.

None of the above-cited references either singularly or in combination teach or

fairly disclose:

"wherein said computer system has a map database, and said computer system, in response to said request for information, transmits map information representative of a

for information together with a respective location of said mobile user stations, and in
response thereto, said computer system providing to said one of said mobile user stations information representative of selected portions of said map database and selected portions of said traffic information database based on said respective geographic location of said one of said mobile user stations."

2.
