Appeal No. 2003-0670
Application No. 09/119,891
teaching of this specific claim limitation. This portion of Wood
discloses renderers and a z-buffer algorithm being used to deduce
the nearest visible rendering primitive at each pixel. This
rendering technique of Wood may cause the generation of differing
views, but there is no indication therein that it performs this
function by obtaining data defining at least the lenticular
screen lenticule pitch, the number of views N, and the lenticular
screen position relative to the display device pixels and then
applying a predetermined algorithm, using this obtained data, to
determine which of N views is to be carried.
In response to appellant’s argument that Wood does not
disclose this claimed limitation, the examiner argues that column
1, lines 18-24, and column 2, lines 58-67, of Wood teach
obtaining data defining the lenticular screen lenticules pitch,
i.e., the horizontal diameter of each lenticule, as this
represents the lenticule pitch (see page 7 of the answer).
We have reviewed the cited portions of Wood and we fail to
find any disclosure therein of obtaining data defining at least
the lenticular screen lenticule pitch, the number of views N, and
the lenticular screen position relative to the display device
pixels, wherein this data is applied to a predetermined algorithm
for determining which of N views is to be carried.
