documents that are rendered in the same manner and with the same
relative position of the displayed objects on all computer
systems. Therefore, there is a need to modify the relative
alignment of hypertext links where the resulting displayed
representation of the document can vary from system to system
(specification page 3).
Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced below:
1. A method of displaying a document on a computer
display, the document of the type including first and second
hypertext links, the method comprising:
(a) determining display positions for the first and second
hypertext links within a displayed representation of the
document;
(b) adjusting the display position of at least one of the
first and second hypertext links based upon the determined
display positions to modify the relative alignment of the first
and second hypertext links; and
(c) after adjusting the display position, displaying the
first and second hypertext links on the computer display at the
display positions thereof.
The Examiner relies on the following reference in rejecting
the claims:
