          Application No. 08/673,693                                                  


          speed and resolution so as to be convenient to the user of                  
          that information.”  Col. 14, ll. 20-25.  The paragraph then                 
          lists communications systems and equipment for providing the                
          sufficient bandwidth.  Specifically, the systems and equipment              
          include "modems," "special connections," "special interfaces                
          provided by regional telecommunications systems," "optic fiber              
          cabling," "linkages ... known as Tl, ISDN," "56 Kbps wide                   
          band-width connections," and "microwave and other                           
          communications links that do not require direct cabled                      
          connections."  Id. at ll. 32-42.  Whatever the systems or                   
          equipment chosen from the list, however, the reference does                 
          not allocate additional bandwidth to an area of the multi-                  
          media presentation in which a user is most interested.                      


               Because there is no evidence that Ruoff allocates                      
          additional bandwidth to its high resolution portion, and Bouve              
          does not allocate additional bandwidth to an area of its                    
          multi-media presentation in which a user is most interested,                
          we are not persuaded that the teachings from the applied prior              
          art would have suggested the limitations of "increasing said                
          existing bandwidth allocation to said area of interest," "an
