          Application 08/704,186                                                      


          1.  A method of displaying a calendar including daily                       
          data on a display screen, comprising the steps of:                          
               (a) displaying a calendar for a specific month by                      
          arranging days of a week of said specific month in a row on                 
          said display screen;                                                        
               (b) detecting an operation for said specific month;                    
          and                                                                         
               (c) display, in addition to said specific month, at                    
          least one additional week with one of said at least one                     
          additional week closer to a predetermined day of said specific              
          month on said display screen.                                               
          The examiner relies on the following references:                            
          Ishii et al. (Ishii)          5,379,153          Jan. 03, 1995              
          Morgan et al. (Morgan)        5,544,288          Aug. 06, 1996              
          (filed June 14,                                                             
          1994)                                                                       
          Claims 1-7 and 10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §                          
          102(a) as being anticipated by the disclosure of Ishii.                     
          Claims 8 and 9 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being                
          unpatentable over the teachings of Ishii in view of Morgan.                 
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the main brief and the answer                
          for the respective details thereof.                                         
          OPINION                                                                     
          We have carefully considered the subject matter on                          
          appeal, the rejections advanced by the examiner and the                     
                                          2
