Prior art

Here's an analysis of the most relevant prior art for US patent 9462440, based on the citations listed within the patent document itself. I will provide a description of each cited patent and assess its potential to anticipate claims under 35 U.S.C. § 102, with a particular focus on Independent Claim 1 of US9462440.

Cited Prior Art for US9462440:

1. US6052122A

• Full Citation: US6052122A, Tele-Publishing, Inc.
• Publication Date: April 18, 2000
• Brief Description: This patent describes a method and apparatus for matching registered profiles. It focuses on collecting and comparing user profiles, including interests and preferences, to identify matches for various purposes, such as dating, employment, or purchasing. While it involves user data and matching, it is generally related to profile matching and doesn't explicitly detail the context-driven content delivery to mobile devices within a social community as described in US9462440.
• Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): Less likely to directly anticipate Independent Claim 1 of US9462440. Independent Claim 1 of US9462440 specifically concerns detecting a communication session with a social community web site, determining context parameters (like adding/editing content on the site), and then automatically generating content triggers to deliver related information to other community members' mobile devices. US6052122A's focus on general profile matching, while relevant to identifying common interests, does not appear to encompass the specific interactive social community features and context-driven triggers for mobile content delivery outlined in claim 1.

2. US20010041561A1

• Full Citation: US20010041561A1, Thomas Ventulett
• Publication Date: November 15, 2001
• Brief Description: This application describes a system and method for location-based stimuli motivated information delivery. It involves delivering information to users based on their physical location and other contextual stimuli. This concept of context-based delivery is relevant to US9462440, which also discusses location as a context parameter.
• Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): This reference could potentially anticipate parts of Independent Claim 1 that relate to "determining one or more context parameters associated with the communication session" and "delivering content related to the context parameters to one or more mobile communication devices." Specifically, if "location" is considered a context parameter that influences content delivery, then US20010041561A1 might overlap with this aspect. However, Independent Claim 1 of US9462440 is more specific, requiring the communication session to be with a social community web site and the determination of context to involve detecting that the mobile communication device user added or edited content on the social community web site, which then triggers concurrent applications. US20010041561A1 does not appear to explicitly teach this specific social community interaction and concurrent application triggering for content added/edited by a user on a social community site.

3. US6807529B2

• Full Citation: US6807529B2, Motorola, Inc.
• Publication Date: October 19, 2004
• Brief Description: This patent details a system and method for concurrent multimodal communication. It allows for multiple communication modes (e.g., voice, data) to occur simultaneously or concurrently on a single device, or for a user to switch between modes. This is relevant to US9462440's concept of "concurrent applications."
• Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): This patent may anticipate the general concept of "concurrent applications" mentioned in US9462440's description and some of the broader aspects of allowing multiple communication activities. However, Independent Claim 1 of US9462440 focuses on social community interactions where a user adds or edits content on a social community web site, leading to a content trigger that starts concurrent applications to retrieve and deliver information to other members of the same community. US6807529B2 does not appear to teach this specific social community-driven, content-editing-triggered, and community-wide notification aspect via concurrent applications.

4. US6912581B2

• Full Citation: US6912581B2, Motorola, Inc.
• Publication Date: June 28, 2005
• Brief Description: This patent, also by Motorola, describes a system and method for concurrent multimodal communication session persistence. It builds upon the idea of concurrent multimodal communication by ensuring the persistence of these sessions, even if a user switches devices or communication modes.
• Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): Similar to US6807529B2, this patent might anticipate the general concept of concurrent communication and its persistence. However, like its predecessor, it does not explicitly address the specific elements of Independent Claim 1 of US9462440, such as the social community context, the act of a user adding/editing content on a social community website as a trigger, and the subsequent delivery of related content to other community members' mobile devices via concurrent applications.

5. US6996394B2

• Full Citation: US6996394B2, Qualcomm Incorporated
• Publication Date: February 7, 2006
• Brief Description: This patent describes server processing in providing messages for a wireless device connecting to a server. It involves a server managing and delivering messages to wireless devices, potentially based on certain conditions or events.
• Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): This patent broadly covers message delivery from a server to wireless devices. While this is a foundational element, Independent Claim 1 of US9462440 is much more specific. It requires the communication session to be with a social community web site, the detection of a user adding/editing content on that site, the automatic generation of a content trigger for concurrent applications, and the retrieval and delivery of information related to the edited content to other members of the same community. US6996394B2 does not appear to disclose these specific contextual triggers, social community interactions, or the use of concurrent applications in this manner.

6. US20060190616A1

• Full Citation: US20060190616A1, John Mayerhofer
• Publication Date: August 24, 2006
• Brief Description: This application describes a system and method for aggregating, delivering, and sharing audio content. It focuses on managing and distributing audio content, likely within a network, potentially allowing users to share such content.
• Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): This prior art deals with sharing content, specifically audio content. If the "content" in US9462440's claim 1 refers to audio content and the "social community web site" is a platform for sharing such content, there might be some overlap in the broad concept of content sharing. However, Independent Claim 1 specifically outlines detecting a communication session with a social community web site, determining that a user added or edited content on that site, and then generating a content trigger to start concurrent applications to retrieve information corresponding to the content added or edited and deliver it to other community members. US20060190616A1 does not explicitly teach this precise sequence of events involving a social community website, user-initiated content editing as a trigger, and community-wide notification via concurrent applications for that specific edited content.

7. US20060218234A1

• Full Citation: US20060218234A1, Li Deng
• Publication Date: September 28, 2006
• Brief Description: This application describes a scheme for sending email to mobile devices. It focuses on the technical aspects of delivering email messages to mobile communication devices.
• Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): This patent application focuses specifically on email delivery to mobile devices. While notifications in US9462440 could potentially be delivered via email, Independent Claim 1 is broader and more specific regarding the triggering mechanism (user adding/editing content on a social community website) and the delivery mechanism (concurrent applications for information corresponding to the edited content) to other members of the community. US20060218234A1 does not appear to teach these specific social networking aspects of US9462440.

8. US20060242291A1

• Full Citation: US20060242291A1, Mikko Nevalainen
• Publication Date: October 26, 2006
• Brief Description: This application describes a method and device for determining and notifying users having matching preference profiles. Similar to US6052122A, it deals with matching user interests and preferences to provide notifications.
• Potential Anticipation (35 U.S.C. § 102): This reference is similar to US6052122A in its focus on profile matching and notifications based on matching interests. While US9462440 also deals with user communities and shared interests, Independent Claim 1's novelty lies in the specific interaction with a social community web site, the act of a user adding or editing content on that site as the trigger, and the subsequent use of concurrent applications to retrieve and deliver information about that specific added/edited content to other community members. This precise combination of elements in Independent Claim 1 does not appear to be fully disclosed in US20060242291A1.

Summary of Anticipation for Independent Claim 1:

None of the identified prior art references appear to explicitly anticipate all the elements of Independent Claim 1 of US9462440. While some references address aspects like context-based content delivery (US20010041561A1), concurrent applications (US6807529B2, US6912581B2), or user profile matching/sharing (US6052122A, US20060190616A1, US20060242291A1), none fully combine the specific requirement of:

• a communication session between the mobile communication device user and a social community web site;
• determining context by detecting that the mobile communication device user added or edited content on the social community web site;
• the social community web site automatically generating a content trigger configured to start one or more concurrent applications associated with a same community; and
• retrieving information corresponding to the content added or edited by the mobile communication device user using said concurrent applications, for subsequent delivery to one or more mobile communication devices.

The combination of the social community context, the user-initiated content editing as a specific trigger, and the subsequent community-wide notification via concurrent applications of that specific edited content seems to be a distinguishing feature of Independent Claim 1.
