communication system 130 based on the geographic location of mobile communication
system 130 and can comprise processor 111, memory 112 having the appropriate
association instructions and association data and port 113. Rosen discloses that a user
profile, unique for the user of the mobile communication system 130, can be predefined
and stored in memory 112 of resolution server 110. Based on the geographic location
of the mobile communication system and the predefined user profile, the resolution
server selects and transmits to the mobile communication system 130 resource
addresses of resources containing local information that correspond to the user’s
profile. The user can then select one or more addresses from the transmitted
addresses, whereupon the resource server will transmit information from the user
selected resource address(es) to the mobile communication system.
In rejecting independent claims 1, 11 and 18, the examiner identifies at least two
differences between the claimed subject matter and the primary reference to Rosen.
One difference is that Rosen discloses storage of the user profile in memory 112 of the
resolution server 110, which, in combination with the resource server 120, corresponds
to the remote travel information system recited in claims 1, 11 and 18, rather than on
the mobile communication system 130, which corresponds to the onboard information
device of claims 1, 11 and 18, as called for in claims 1, 11 and 18. A second difference
is that Rosen does not specify how the information and resource addresses are stored
and searched and thus fails to disclose a remote travel system which segments the
