          Appeal No. 96-3561                                                          
          Application No. 08/045,241                                                  


          character memory region, “for memorizing a graphic data                     
          relating to said specific function [selected by the key means]              
          in said external character memory region.”  As explained                    
          supra, Hayden does not disclose or suggest the composite image              
          nor does Hayden disclose of suggest the memorization of                     
          graphic data relating to the specific function in the external              
          character memory region.  With regard to claim 18, Togawa is                
          cited by the examiner for a teaching of solid and dotted lines              
          used in a graphic and does not remedy the deficiencies noted                
          with regard to Hayden.                                                      
               We now turn to independent claim 2 which includes, inter               
          alia, a memory means for memorizing “divided graphic data,                  
          which are combinable and compose a combined graphic data                    
          representing an overall appearance of said information                      
          processing device...”  The examiner relies on Rasmussen to                  
          supply the deficiency of Hayden, i.e., the divided graphic                  
          data.  However, it is clear that the displays LCD1 and LCD2 of              
          Rasmussen are independent displays, either a display showing a              
          hook-on condition or a display showing a hook-off condition.                
          Rasmussen does not incorporate graphic data in a manner so as
