                Appeal 2007-1275                                                                              
                Application 09/824,248                                                                        

                 9. Shioji explains that the R/P select switch 20 selects either a record                     
                      mode or a reproduce mode.  (Col. 7, ll. 4-5.)  The reproduce mode                       
                      select switch 22 selects either a still image reproduce mode or a                       
                      motion image reproduce mode.  (Col. 7, ll. 8-9.)  Shioji teaches that                   
                      "[w]hen a reproduce mode is selected by the R/P select switch 20, the                   
                      system controller 26 supplies the CPU 19 with a key state signal that                   
                      corresponds to a status of the reproduce select switch 22."  (Col. 7,                   
                      ll. 20-23.)  Referring to step S61 of Figure 10, Shioji explains that the               
                      CPU 19 determines whether either a still image reproduce mode or a                      
                      motion image reproduce mode is selected when a reproduce mode is                        
                      selected.  (Col. 11, ll. 3-10.)                                                         

                 10. Referring to Figures 13 and 14, Shioji teaches that, in a motion image                   
                      reproduce mode, an image file select process is performed at step                       
                      S101.  (Col. 39-41.)  Frame rate information contained in the motion                    
                      image file is detected at step S107.  (Col. 12, ll. 49-51.)  At step S119,              
                      the CPU 19 starts up the video encoder 9 and sets a time period                         
                      corresponding to the detected frame rate information on to a timer 19a                  
                      in step S121.  (Col. 13, ll. 6-9.)  "By the process of steps S121-S133,                 
                      the compressed image data in each frame and sound data                                  
                      corresponding to 1 frame are reproduced in the order according to a                     
                      time on the timer 19a.  As a result, motion images are displayed                        
                      varying at normal speed."  (Col. 13, ll. 52-57.)
