          Appeal No. 2002-1153                                                         
          Application No. 09/063,720                                                   

          mobile radiotelephone terminal is obtained from the satellite                
          radiotelephone system communications which is then used by the               
          GPS to determine an accurate position of the mobile                          
          radiotelephone terminal (specification, page 4).  According to               
          Appellants, by obtaining a coarse position from the satellite                
          radiotelephone systems communications, the time for the GPS                  
          receiver to compute an accurate position of the mobile terminal              
          may be reduced (id.).                                                        
               Representative independent claims 8 and 24 are reproduced               
          below:                                                                       
               8.   A mobile radiotelephone terminal comprising:                       
               a satellite radiotelephone that obtains a coarse position of            
          the mobile radiotelephone terminal from satellite radiotelephone             
          system communications; and                                                   
               a global positioning system (GPS) receiver that uses the                
          coarse position to determine an accurate position of the mobile              
          radiotelephone terminal.                                                     
               24. A mobile radiotelephone terminal comprising:                        
               means for obtaining a coarse position of the mobile                     
          radiotelephone terminal from mobile radiotelephone system                    
          communications; and                                                          
               means for using the coarse position to determine an accurate            
          position of the mobile radiotelephone terminal.
