Appeal No. 2000-0358
Application No. 08/678,409
page 6, line 19, page 9, lines 7-11 and 20-24, page 12, lines 17-
21 and associated figures 2A and 5. The method includes the step
of selecting a new access right representing a first object (e.g.
CAP 1), the new access right representing a predefined right to
interact with another object, and acquiring the new access right
by the virtual input device by causing the first object to
interact with a second object (e.g. 310) representing access
rights of the virtual input device. See Appellant's
specification on page 9, lines 7-11 and 20-23, page 11, lines 2-3
and 8-11 and associated figure 5. The invention also relates to
a machine readable medium (208), which causes a computer system
to perform the steps of the above computer-implemented method.
See Appellant's specification on page 7, lines 12-13, page 8,
lines 5-6 and 18-20 and associated figure 2A.
Independent claims 1, 8, and 15 present in the application
are reproduced as follows:
1. A computer-implemented method for associating access rights
with a virtual input device, said computer-implemented method
comprising the steps of:
selecting a new access right represented by a first object,
said new access right representing a predefined right to interact
with another object; and
acquiring said new access right by said virtual input device
by causing the first object to interact with a second object
representing access rights of said virtual input device.
