Application 09/933,655
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of:
using information from the mobile terminal to identify the area that is
to be under surveillance.
5. The method of claim 2 wherein the area under surveillance is
the area where the mobile terminal is located.
11. The method of claim 5 wherein a person at the mobile terminal

video monitor.

mobile terminal is effected by activating a menu and selecting a surveillance
option from the menu.

for surveillance from [a] mobile terminal.” We interpret the term “request
for surveillance” to include a message requesting a camera to monitor a
particular location. Appellants have provided no evidence that the term
“request for surveillance” should be interpreted differently.

The Specification describes an embodiment in which the “area placed under
