Prior art

To identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 9462410, I will search the USPTO database for the patent and then analyze its cited references. Anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102 means that a single prior art reference discloses every element of a claimed invention, either expressly or inherently.

Based on the provided patent text for US9462410, here are the prior art references cited within the patent, along with their details:

Non-Patent Literature:

1. Bluetooth Specification Version 4.0, Specification Volume 3—Core System Package [Host volume] Part C, Section 11 (publication date 30 Jun. 2010)

   • Description: This specification describes the detailed structure of advertising messages applied in the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) protocol, including the significant and non-significant parts, and the sequence of advertising data (AD) structures (L, data octets, AD type field, AD data octets). It also defines AD type definitions, as further referenced in Section 11.1.
   • Potential Anticipated Claims: This reference likely anticipates aspects of claims related to the format and content of advertising messages in a BLE context, particularly those defining the preliminary service description. For example, any claim broadly covering the structure of advertising messages or the use of AD structures for service information might be anticipated. Given its fundamental nature to BLE advertising, it could potentially anticipate elements found in various claims, especially those that touch upon the initial broadcasting of service information (e.g., claims 1, 6, 11, 16 regarding "broadcasting...one or more advertising messages comprising a preliminary service description").

2. Bluetooth Specification Version 4.0, Specification Volume 3—Core System Package [Host volume] Part G (publication date 30 Jun. 2010)

   • Description: This specification provides a description of the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) protocol.
   • Potential Anticipated Claims: This reference is relevant to claims that refer to the use of GATT service UUIDs for service data identifiers and the use of GATT protocol for requests for further information. Therefore, claims that detail the use of GATT for requesting or providing complementary service descriptions (e.g., claims related to "sending...a request for the complementary service description to the first wireless communication apparatus" or "providing supplementary information for obtaining complementary service description" where GATT is implied) could be anticipated.

3. URL: https://www.bluetooth.org/en-us/specification/assigned-numbers/generic-access-profile (as of the date of filing of the present patent application)

   • Description: This URL refers to a listing of Bluetooth advertising AD type values.
   • Potential Anticipated Claims: Similar to the Bluetooth Specification Part C, this reference would be relevant to claims concerning the specific types of data fields within advertising messages, especially those that rely on standardized AD types. Claims that specify the content or structure of the preliminary service description using such AD types (e.g., elements within claims 1, 6, 11, 16 that define the nature of information in the preliminary service description) could be implicated.

It's important to note that a definitive determination of anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102 would require a detailed claim construction and a thorough element-by-element comparison of each claim against the disclosure of these prior art references.
