Application No. 10/649,277
compressed resultant image into a concatenation file and create a
look-up table to easily access images for review via thumbnail
versions of the images [answer, page 6].
Appellants argue, among other things, that Takagi does not
teach nor suggest allowing a user to select from multiple
displayed images -- compressed or otherwise -- a selected image
that is to be digitally stored in memory as claimed [reply brief,
page 3]. According to appellants, Takagi is concerned with
allowing a user to select and save a desired camera setting
(e.g., exposure, focus, and composition) from multiple, displayed
images for later capture of the image on film using the desired
camera setting [reply brief, page 3]. Appellants further argue
that although Lee may suggest storing images digitally, Lee does
not teach nor suggest placing a selected one of a plurality of
compressed, resultant images into any sort of memory (i.e.,
storing a compressed, resultant image in memory after it has been
selected) [reply brief, page 4].
Appellants also argue that Kuchta teaches storing both
thumbnail and original images before processing or selection.
