               Appeal No. 1996-3287                                                                                                
               Application 08/226,472                                                                                              


                       The disclosed invention pertains to a display controller for converting information presented for           

               display on one display device for presentation on a display device having greater resolution.                       

                       Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                                                            

                       1.  A display controller for executing control for making a display unit display information in             
               response to data being stored in a display memory, said display controller comprising:                              

                       address generation means for generating an address for addressing said display memory; and                  

                       data transfer means for transferring data being read from said display memory in accordance                 
               with said address from said address generation means to said display unit,                                          

                       said address generation means comprising:                                                                   

                       means for generating a reference signal having one cycle corresponding to one horizontal                    
               scanning period of said display unit,                                                                               

                       data skipping means for inactivating said reference signal once every n horizontal scanning lines           
               thereby data-skipping said reference signal,                                                                        

                       data skipping timing change means for displacing data skipping timing by said data skipping                 
               means between odd and even frames by one horizontal scanning line, and                                              

                       address formation means for forming said address every horizontal scanning line by changing a               
               head address in response to said reference signal being data-skipped by said data skipping means at                 
               timing being changed by said data skipping timing change means.                                                     


                       The examiner relies on the following reference:                                                             

               Nomura et al. (Nomura)                4,866,520                      Sep. 12, 1989                                  

                       Claims 1-6 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by the disclosure of                


                                                                2
