Appeal No. 2001-1944
Application No. 08/734,857
When the entirety of Schindler’s disclosure is considered in
conjunction with labeled element 1622 depicting a dashed
rectangular block stating “PHONE VOICE I/O” fulfilling a
very brief discussion in the noted portions of column 20, we are
constrained to conclude, like appellant and the substance of the
affidavit from Mr. Bogley (submitted as an attachment to paper
no. 9 received on March 15, 1999) that Schindler does not teach
or suggest the use of the claimed telephone handset. Consistent
with our earlier noted discussion with respect to the speaker-
phone and portable telephone approaches in the earlier figures of
Schindler, it appears to us that the depiction of the outgoing
arrowhead from element 1622 feeding directly the modem is
consistent with the prior approaches. Thus, to the extent that a
phone is suggested as part of element 1622, that is, a
conventional telephone handset, it is fed directly into the modem
322 and not into the sound card 320. Correspondingly, however,
any received audio in any form would appear to enter from a
public telephone line 1612 through the modem 322 to the bus 312
and outputted correspondingly to the sound card 320 to the phone
