            Appeal No. 2006-2723                                                                           
            Application No. 09/891,264                                                                     

            providing personal services independent of the network (specification, page 3).1               
            Further, Appellant’s invention provides for a service computer which executes a                
            service container that provides the personal service (id.).  The service container             
            uses a network lock, which is a predefined interface to the communication network              
            offered by the service computer (id.).                                                         
                  Claim 1 is representative of the invention and is reproduced as follows:                 
                  1.  A method for providing personal services for a communication means of                
            a user, said communication means being connected to a communication network,                   
            wherein the method comprises;                                                                  
                  transmission by a service server of a first service container containing a               
            service machine to a service computer                                                          
                  execution by said service computer of said service machine, said service                 
            machine managing the execution of a personal service for said communication                    
            means,                                                                                         
                  provision by said service computer of at  least one network lock for said first          
            service container, said at least one network lock offering to said first service               
            container a predefined interface to said communication network for the provision               
            of said personal service, and                                                                  
                  provision of said personal service by execution or by application by said                
            service machine of at least one service component being transmitted to said service            
            computer via said first service container or via a second service container.                   

                                                                                                          
            1 Appellant’s specification has two sets of numberings, which are inconsistent with one another.  For instance, the
            page with number 2 at the top of the page has number 3 at the bottom of the page.  We will refer to the page number
            at the top of the page.                                                                        
                                                    2
