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



                         at said receiver arrangement and                             
                         providing visual feedback con-                               
                         firming receipt and recognition                              
                         of said predetermined IR signals                             
                         by said receiver arrangement when                            
                         the authorization code has been                              
                         received, and thereafter,                                    
                         providing visual prompts to                                  
                         alter the status of the security                             
                         system . . . .                                               
                    The Examiner argues on pages 4 and 5 of the answer                
          that Lewiner teaches in column 2, lines 53-63, and column 3,                


          lines 29-32, that multiple actuation of the keys of the remote              
          determines the entry code.  The Examiner also states that                   
          Lewiner teaches in column 4, lines 52-56, that the code can be              
          displayed to the user prior to being transmitted.                           
                    Upon a careful review of Lewiner, we fail to find                 
          the Appellant's claimed limitations of the multiple sequence                
          of interaction between the user and the interior receiver in                
          which  a predetermined IR signal is transmitted by the remote,              
          the receiver in response displays a visual prompt, a series of              
          IR signals is then transmitted by the remote and then the                   
          receiver instructs the control panel to change the status of                

                                          9
