          Appeal No. 96-4189                                                          
          Application 08/279,157                                                      



          together or individually, teaches or suggests generating and                
          transmitting of an IR signal                                                


          in response to actuation of the one key actuator, receiving                 
          and recognizing the IR signal at the receiver arrangement,                  
          providing visual feedback confirming receipt and recognition                
          of the predetermined IR signal, generating and transmitting                 
          further predetermined IR signals in response to multiple                    
          actuation of  the at least one key actuator of the portable                 
          unit and providing visual feedback confirming the receipt and               
          recognition of the IR signal when the authorization has been                
          received, and thereafter providing visual prompts to alter the              
          status of the security system as recited in Appellant's claim               
          16.                                                                         
                    We note that Appellant's claims recite a series of                
          interactions between the user using a remote controller and                 
          the interior receiver with a visual feedback after each entry               
          to the user to assist the user to change the status of the                  
          security system.  Appellant’s claim 8 recites a                             
                    means to generate and transmit a predeter-                        
                    mined IR signal in response to actuation of                       
                                          7
