Appeal 2007-1271
Application 10/005,583
Issue 6:
6. We decide the question of whether Dance or Somashekar teaches
uploading a control screen to a user browser (see claims 10, 14, and 17).
a. Appellant argues that Somashekar does not remedy the
deficiencies of Kuwata (Br. 17, see claims 10 and 14).
b. The Examiner disagrees. The Examiner relies upon Kuwata as
teaching the uploading of a control screen to a user browser (Answer
22-23).
With respect to issue 6, we have found supra that nothing in Kuwata
may be reasonably characterized as an express or inherent teaching of
uploading a control screen to a user browser. After carefully reviewing the
entirety of the Dance reference (relied upon by the Examiner as teaching an
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability), we likewise find no
express nor inherent teaching of uploading a control screen to a user
browser. However, we find that Somashekar teaches and/or suggests
loading (i.e., uploading) a control screen (i.e., a new version of a controlling
service) to a web browser (such as a web browser executing on a PDA or
Web phone), as follows:
[0007] Embedded applications run on microcomputers that are
embedded within electronic devices such as appliances, vending
machines, gasoline pumps, cellular phones, or pagers.
Embedded systems are also being used to develop a new line of
sophisticated devices such as personal data assistants (PDAs),
smart pagers, and Web phones. The latest Web phones now
support a variety of useful services, such as an address book, an
auto-dialer, an Internet browser, and a calendar [emphasis
added].
