Appeal 2007-1089
Application 10/348,277
Appellants argue that Anderson does not teach or suggest selecting
one or more portions of a visual object and an audio object, adding the
selected portions to a bin component, embedding the selected audio portions
into the selected visual portions, and generating a new media object via the
combined portions. Appellants further argue that Fielder fails to remedy the
deficiencies of Anderson (Br. 12-14, Reply Br. 8-11).
The Examiner disagrees. The Examiner finds that Anderson teaches
selecting one or more portions of a visual object based at least upon
metadata thereof, and selecting one or more portions of an audio object
based at least upon metadata thereof. The Examiner notes that Anderson
teaches video and audio segments are selected based on the locations [i.e.,
metadata] they were generated from (see Anderson, p.1, ¶¶ 5, 6) (Answer
24).
The Examiner finds that Anderson teaches adding the selected visual
object portions and the selected audio object portions to a bin component.
The Examiner notes that Anderson teaches the audio and video portions are
combined, modulated, and transmitted so the portions would have to be
added [i.e., combined] to a component in order for these functions to occur
(see Anderson, p.1, ¶ 6) (Answer 25).
The Examiner further finds that Anderson teaches generating a new
media object via combining the selected audio and visual object (i.e., video)
portions. The Examiner notes that Anderson teaches a combined signal is
generated when the audio and video portions are combined (see Anderson,
p.1, ¶ 6) (Answer 25).
