          Appeal No. 2003-0193                                                        
          Application 09/306,469                                                      


          recognition table, 3) a voice macro command file linked to the at           
          least one stored recognition pattern is sent to the camera, 4) at           
          least one command number from the voice macro command file is               
          accessed within the camera, 5) a matching command number is found           
          in a voice command recognition table, and 6) a voice command file           
          linked to the matching command number is retrieved from the voice           
          command recognition table.                                                  
               The examiner relies upon Brais’ column 14, lines 14-15 for a           
          disclosure of command macros (answer, page 4).  This portion of             
          Brais, however, discloses a pseudo command file, which may be a             
          Word® macro, which is parsed to construct a report.  The macro is           
          not involved in controlling the camera.                                     
               The examiner argues that Brais’ camera necessarily has a               
          built-in controller for executing the recognized commands from              
          the computer (answer, page 10).  Even if this is correct, the               
          appellant’s claim 1 requires that a voice macro command file is             
          sent to the capture device, at least one command number is                  
          accessed from the voice macro command file within the capture               
          device, a matching command number is found in a voice command               
          recognition table, and a voice command file linked to the                   
          matching command number is retrieved from the voice command                 
          recognition table.  The examiner does not explain how Brais would
