Identifying the gist of a subcombination invention
The wording “for transmitting and receiving to and from the mobile phone of claim 4” does not specify the receiving apparatus's own structure, functions, or the like, and therefore does not define the invention relating to the receiving apparatus.
⇒ Excluded from identification of the gist of the invention
⇒ Novelty: not satisfied
