          Appeal No. 2005-0946                                                        
          Application No. 09/915,448                                Page 10           

          person's PDA instead of their PC, we find that the interactive              
          device of Gershman provides self-generating interaction with the            
          user.                                                                       
               Gershman further discloses an Electronic Valet in the form             
          of a hand held wireless computer.  Integrated into the electronic           
          Valet are various sensors, such as GPS, Bio-Sensors, and Environ-           
          Sensors (col. 60, lines 50-55).  The Electronic Valet 2602                  
          receives input data from sensors, GPS, camera, microphone, and              
          other user inputs 2600 integrated with the hand held wireless               
          device, as shown in figure 26 (col. 60, lines 61-65).  With the             
          Electronic Valet, the user may select a service to use in concert           
          with appropriate data obtained from sensors, GPS, etc.  For                 
          example, when an integrated bio sensor obtains certain predefined           
          data values, an appropriate emergency care person would be                  
          automatically contacted.  In addition, GPS position data may be             
          sent with the bio-sensor data to the emergency care provider, so            
          that the emergency care provider would then know the patient's              
          biological data and the location of the patient, so that                    
          appropriate service could be provided (col. 61, lines 34-51).               
               From the disclosure of Gershman, we find that when the bio-            
          sensors obtain certain predefined data values, the emergency care           
          provider is provided with the patient's biological data as well
