Appeal No. 2004-1045
Application 09/282,129
v. Sumitomo Elec. U.S.A. Inc., 868 F.2d 1251, 1255-56, 9 USPQ2d
1962, 1965 (Fed. Cir. 1989).
Each of the independent claims requires changing a currently
visible two-dimensional window to display as a three-dimensional
window by swinging the two-dimensional window to a three-
dimensional window display in response to user selection with a
pointing indicator of one frame edge of a plurality of selectable
frame edges of the two-dimensional window.
Horvitz discloses a method for changing a currently visible
two-dimensional window to display as a three-dimensional window
by selecting a perspective-transform left button (66) or a
perspective-transform right button (68) at the top of the window
next to the title bar (col. 12, lines 1-5 and 51-53; col. 13,
lines 11-13; figure 3).2 Alternatively, a single multiple
control window transform button (710) at the top of the window
next to the title bar can be clicked and dragged in the direction
of the desired display plane (col. 15, lines 28-36). This
dragging causes an arrow to be displayed in the direction of drag
2 The window also can be displayed at the top or the bottom
of the display screen (col. 11, lines 8-16).
