Obviousness

Based on the provided patent text for US9082239 and the specific instructions to "Use the results from the Prior Art section of this page," a conventional obviousness analysis under 35 U.S.C. § 103, requiring the identification and combination of external prior art references, cannot be fully performed.

The "Prior art section" as presented in the provided patent text snippet from Google Patents lists "Prior art keywords" (vehicle, occupant, information, vehicle occupant, user) and a "Prior art date" (2012-03-14). Additionally, under "Legal events," several patent applications are listed as "Priority claimed from" (e.g., US13/420,240, US13/420,236, US13/679,842). These are generally earlier filings by the same inventor/assignee within the patent family, used to establish the priority date of the present patent, rather than independent prior art documents that would be combined for an obviousness rejection. Furthermore, the publication dates of these "Priority claimed from" applications (e.g., US20130245882A1, US8979159B2) are subsequent to the earliest priority date of US9082239 (March 14, 2012), meaning they themselves are not prior art to the claims of US9082239 under typical U.S. patent law principles.

Therefore, without specific external prior art references (e.g., patents or publications by different inventors or entities) that predate the priority date of March 14, 2012, it is not possible to identify combinations of such references or explain motivations for combining them to render the claims of US9082239 obvious.
