Appeal No. 2000-2247
Application 08/137,189
current field. Further, the figure 8 embodiment compares
similarly situated pixel data in prior fields, i.e., between
blocks of a current field to blocks at the same location in a
prior field, and not to blocks in a closest vicinity of the
current block. Even if one were to modify figure 8 to compare a
current block to blocks within a range as taught in connection
with figure 4, this would still not meet the limitation of
comparing a current block of a current image to reconstructed
blocks of the same current image, as claimed.
Because Krause does not disclose coding of a difference
between a current block of a current image to be transmitted and
a reconstructed block of the same current image, the Examiner
erred in the finding of anticipation. The rejection of claims 1
and 3-7 is reversed.
