              Application No. 09/952,073                                                                                   


                                                 1. Claim Construction                                                     
                     Claim 1 further recites in pertinent part the following limitations: "prompting said                  
              user to answer a plurality of questions; generating corresponding provisioning                               
              information for said network communication device within said electronic device based                        
              on answers given by said user in response to said plurality of questions. . . ."  Giving the                 
              representative claim its broadest, reasonable construction, the limitations require basing                   
              provisioning information on answers.                                                                         


                                             2. Obviousness Determination                                                  
                     As aforementioned, the appellants admit that Jaalinoja generates a token based                        
              on a request. (App. Br. at 5.)  Because such a token is used for the provision of VIP                        
              services, customer benefit services, or payable services, as mentioned regarding the                         
              first point of contention, we find that a user must answer questions regarding which of                      
              such services he desires and that the provisioning information of the token must be                          
              based on these answers.  Similarly, because the information stored on DiGiorgio's                            
              secure token device can be used for the provision of access to the Internet, chat rooms,                     
              news services, electronic mail messaging, and bulletin board services, as also                               
              mentioned regarding the first point of contention, we find that a user must answer                           
              questions regarding which of such services he desires and that the provisioning                              
              information stores on the token must be based on these answers.
