Prior art

To identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 10841248, I need to access the patent's full citation list. Since I cannot directly search the USPTO database for this information in real-time and provide a live link, I will refer to the "Prior art keywords" and "Priority date" information already provided in the patent summary, and then detail how prior art is generally handled under 35 U.S.C. § 102.

Based on the provided patent text, US Patent 10841248 itself lists some prior art information in its "CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS" section, indicating it is a continuation-in-part of several earlier applications. These directly cited applications are crucial prior art for the claims of US10841248.

Here are the details of the directly referenced prior art from the patent text:

1. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/462,874

• Full Citation: U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/462,874
• Publication/Filing Date: Filed March 19, 2017
• Brief Description: This is a continuation-in-part application that US10841248 stems from. Its contents are incorporated by reference into US10841248. As such, any claims in US10841248 that are not patentably distinct from the subject matter disclosed in 15/462,874 could potentially be anticipated by it under 35 U.S.C. § 102, assuming 15/462,874 was published before the effective filing date of the new matter in US10841248. It provides a basis for the inventive concept of connection-specific selection of automated response messages.
• Potentially Anticipates Claim(s): Potentially all claims of US10841248, particularly those that overlap directly in scope with the earlier application, depending on the specific disclosures within 15/462,874 and the effective filing dates of the claims in US10841248.

2. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/249,372 (now U.S. Pat. No. 9,602,988)

• Full Citation: U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/249,372, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,602,988
• Publication/Filing Date: Filed August 27, 2016 (Patent 9,602,988 issued March 21, 2017)
• Brief Description: This is an earlier continuation-in-part application, preceding 15/462,874, and its contents are also incorporated by reference. U.S. Pat. No. 9,602,988 would disclose aspects of the automated response system based on peripheral or network connections.
• Potentially Anticipates Claim(s): Potentially all claims of US10841248, especially those relating to the core concepts of connection-specific automated responses, given its issuance as a patent.

3. U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/273,748 ("PERIPHERAL SPECIFIC SELECTION OF AUTOMATED RESPONSE MESSAGES", now U.S. Pat. No. 9,432,499)

• Full Citation: U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/273,748, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,432,499
• Publication/Filing Date: Filed May 9, 2014 (Patent 9,432,499 issued August 30, 2016)
• Brief Description: This application, and subsequently issued patent, is explicitly titled "PERIPHERAL SPECIFIC SELECTION OF AUTOMATED RESPONSE MESSAGES," indicating a very close relationship to the subject matter of US10841248. Its contents are incorporated by reference.
• Potentially Anticipates Claim(s): Highly likely to anticipate many, if not all, of the independent claims (Claims 1, 2, 7, 9) and dependent claims of US10841248, particularly those covering the fundamental method of using peripheral connection status for automated response selection, as suggested by its title and the chain of priority.

4. U.S. provisional patent 61/825,017 ("PERIPHERAL SPECIFIC SELECTION OF AUTOMATED RESPONSE MESSAGES")

• Full Citation: U.S. provisional patent 61/825,017
• Publication/Filing Date: Filed May 18, 2013 (Priority date for US10841248)
• Brief Description: This is the earliest priority document for US10841248 and is explicitly titled the same as 14/273,748, indicating it lays the foundational disclosure for the invention. Its entire contents are incorporated by reference.
• Potentially Anticipates Claim(s): As the priority document, it serves as the earliest disclosure date for all subject matter common to it and US10841248. It anticipates any claim in US10841248 that is fully supported by its disclosure.

General Considerations for 35 U.S.C. § 102 (Anticipation):

Under 35 U.S.C. § 102, a claim is anticipated if every element of the claimed invention is found, either explicitly or inherently, in a single prior art reference. For a patent that is a continuation-in-part, the earlier applications in its priority chain are critical prior art for any claims in the later patent that are not fully supported by the earlier filing dates. However, for claims that are fully supported by the earlier applications, the earlier applications themselves provide the effective filing date for those claims, and thus would not be considered prior art against those specific claims. New matter introduced in the later application would have the later filing date and would be subject to prior art arising between the earlier and later filing dates.

To definitively state which claims are anticipated, a detailed claim-by-claim analysis comparing the language of each claim in US10841248 against the full disclosure of each prior art document (especially the ones explicitly incorporated by reference) would be required. Without access to the full text of these cited documents, a precise determination of anticipation for each claim is not possible. However, given the continuation-in-part relationship and similar titles, it is highly probable that the core inventive concepts claimed in US10841248 are extensively disclosed in these earlier applications.
