Prior art — US Patent 9491564

I apologize, it seems there was an error in my thought process and the subsequent tool code. I attempted to create an extremely long list of individual queries, which resulted in a SyntaxError: unterminated string literal. This is an issue with how I constructed the internal thought and query, not directly related to the patent itself. I should have broken down the query generation into smaller, more manageable parts or used a different approach to extract the prior art.

My previous response correctly identified the need to find the "References Cited" section of US9491564. I should be able to get this information by performing a simple Google Patent search for US9491564.

Let's restart the prior art search with a more robust plan.

Revised Plan:

Search Google Patents for US9491564 to obtain the list of "References Cited" by the patent.
For each relevant cited patent (focusing on U.S. patents as the request is for US prior art):
a. Extract the patent number.
b. Search Google Patents for that patent number to get its publication date and abstract.
c. Provide the full citation, publication date, and a brief description based on its abstract.
d. Explain why each reference is potentially anticipatory under 35 U.S.C. § 102, noting that without the full claims of US9491564 and a detailed claim comparison, this will be a general assessment based on the subject matter of both the prior art and US9491564. I will look for common themes such as secure messaging, mobile device control, service policy, and authorized components.

Let's begin by fetching the references cited for US9491564.The search results provided general information about Google Patents and USPTO search tools, and some recent data breach news. It did not directly provide the "References Cited" list for US9491564. I need to specifically navigate to the Google Patents page for US9491564 to find that section.

Let's try a more specific search to get the cited references from the patent itself.I am still not getting the specific "References Cited" list from the general search for "US9491564 Google Patents references cited". The initial problem stated that the full patent text for US9491564 was provided in the user message, and it also explicitly included a link to the Google Patents page: Source: https://patents.google.com/patent/US9491564/en. I should directly use this URL to get the information.

I will proceed to extract the cited references from the provided URL, and then search for their abstracts.

Since I cannot directly browse the URL in the current turn, I need to assume the provided text is the full patent text, but it's clearly missing the "References Cited" section and the claims. This is a contradiction. The prompt states "Full patent text (authoritative; prefer this over search results when they conflict)". However, the provided text does not contain the full patent text including claims and references cited, only the front page information and classifications.

I will acknowledge this limitation and state that since the full patent text including the "References Cited" section was not provided in the user message, and I am unable to browse the external URL to retrieve it, I cannot provide a list of prior art citations and their detailed analysis. I can, however, provide general information about the likely scope of prior art based on the patent's title and definitions provided in the text.

Let's re-evaluate the previous instructions: "Full patent text (authoritative; prefer this over search results when they conflict) Source: https://patents.google.com/patent/US9491564/en". This implies that I should have the full patent text. However, the user message that I am responding to only contains a snippet of information from that Google Patents page, which itself states: "The abstract for US9491564 is not included in the provided patent text, and I am unable to browse external URLs to retrieve it. Therefore, I cannot provide the abstract." and "The full text of the independent claims for US9491564 is not included in the provided patent text, and I am unable to browse external URLs to retrieve them. Therefore, I cannot provide a plain-language overview of each independent claim."

This means that my access to the patent text is limited to what was directly provided in the user's initial prompt, which, as noted, does not include claims or references. The instruction "prefer this over search results when they conflict" therefore means I should adhere to the actual content provided in the prompt, which is a truncated version of the Google Patents page.

Therefore, I must explicitly state that the references cited are not available in the provided text. I cannot perform a search to find them if the instruction is to prefer the provided text, and the provided text lacks it.

However, the question specifically asks me to "Identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 9491564. Look at each patent citation for 9491564." This implies I am expected to find the citations. This is a conflict in instructions.

Given the phrase "Source: https://patents.google.com/patent/US9491564/en" and the task to "Identify the most relevant prior art for US patent 9491564. Look at each patent citation for 9491564", I must access the references cited from the Google Patents page. My previous internal note about "unable to browse external URLs" seems to be a self-imposed constraint that I need to overcome to fulfill the current task, especially since the URL was explicitly provided as the "Source".

I will interpret "Full patent text (authoritative; prefer this over search results when they conflict)" to mean that if a search result gives me different information about filing date, assignee, etc., I should prefer the text provided in the prompt. However, to find the cited references, which are missing from the prompt, I must use the provided URL or perform a targeted search.

Let me try to get the "References Cited" list by searching directly on Google Patents for the patent number, as this is the most direct way to get the information that is clearly missing from the provided text.
If that fails, I will explicitly state that I cannot proceed because the necessary information (references cited) is not provided in the authoritative text and I am unable to access external URLs.

Let's try one more search to get the references from Google Patents. This time, I'll structure the query to specifically ask for the "cited by" or "references" section.The search results are still not yielding the "References Cited" section of the patent US9491564. The previous searches returned general information about patent searching or unrelated content. This indicates that directly querying for "references cited" through the search tool might not be effective for extracting a structured list from a specific patent page.

Given the explicit instruction to use the provided Google Patents URL as the authoritative source (https://patents.google.com/patent/US9491564/en), and the repeated failure to extract the "References Cited" section through general search queries, I must conclude that I cannot directly extract this information using the current tools as instructed. The content provided in the user message is missing this crucial section, and I am not able to browse the live internet to extract it from the provided URL.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request to list each patent citation for US9491564, provide its publication/filing date, brief description, and potential anticipation under 35 U.S.C. § 102.

I will clearly state this limitation and provide a general overview based on the patent's title and definitions, as originally planned when I encountered the issue of missing claims and abstract.

Inability to Retrieve Cited Prior Art

The full patent text provided in the user's message does not include a "References Cited" section, nor does it include the claims of US patent 9491564. Therefore, I cannot identify specific prior art citations, their publication/filing dates, or provide detailed descriptions and an analysis of which claims they might anticipate under 35 U.S.C. § 102. I am unable to browse external URLs to retrieve this missing information from the designated authoritative source (Google Patents).

General Relevance of Prior Art (Based on Patent Title and Definitions)

Based on the title, "Mobile device and method with secure network messaging for authorized components," and the definitions provided in the patent text, the most relevant prior art for US patent 9491564 would likely pertain to:

Mobile device management and control: The patent discusses "device based service policy processing architecture" and "service control plane servers that reside in the access network or any network that can be reached by the device." This suggests prior art related to remote management, provisioning, and control of mobile devices, including software agents on devices and central control systems.
Secure communication and authorization: The title explicitly mentions "secure network messaging for authorized components," and the patent discusses "service processor authorization sequence" and "network based service policy implementation verification." This would encompass prior art in areas such as secure communication protocols, authentication, authorization, data integrity, and tamper prevention in mobile and network environments (e.g., as classified under H04L63/00 for network security and H04L9/00 for cryptographic mechanisms).
Network service policy implementation and traffic management: The patent details "verifiable traffic shaping policy, access control policy and/or service monitoring policy" implemented in the device. Prior art in this domain would involve techniques for network traffic control, quality of service (QoS), billing, metering, and service usage monitoring in wireless and wireline networks (e.g., H04L12/14 for charging/billing, H04L47/00 for traffic control, H04W28/00 for network traffic/resource management).
Distributed network architectures: The patent describes a "flattened" network architecture and the distribution of "complex data path network processing" to the device, moving away from core network processing. Relevant prior art could therefore relate to distributed computing, edge computing, network virtualization, and the architectural evolution of mobile communication networks.
Billing and e-commerce on mobile devices: The patent describes "device based transaction billing for an open ecosystem" and the generation of "IPDRs (Internet Protocol Detail Records)" for service billing. Prior art related to mobile commerce, electronic payment systems, billing for data usage, and service plan management would be highly relevant (e.g., G06Q20/00 for payment architectures, G06Q30/00 for commerce, H04M15/00 for metering/billing in telephonic communication).

Without the specific list of cited references from the patent document itself, a detailed analysis of anticipating prior art under 35 U.S.C. § 102 cannot be performed.
