          Appeal No. 95-1851                                                           
          Application 07/902,186                                                       

          a "lower" resolution display.                                                
               It is true that Belch discloses a display system which                  
          contains more image information in memory than may be displayed              
          all at one time.  But it does not reasonably suggest address                 
          translation to produce a starting address for updating a                     
          display means of lower resolution.  The examiner has pointed to              
          nothing in Belch which suggests displaying data on a display                 
          device of a different resolution than that originally intended               
          and with respect to which the full resolution VGA image is                   
          compatible.  We do not see how the fact that more data is stored             
          than that which can be together displayed on a lower resolution              
          display would have reasonably suggested displaying selected data             
          on a "lower" resolution display device.                                      
               While displaying data on a lower resolution device results              
          in not having the entire image being displayed at the same time,             
          it does not follow that if the entire image is not being                     
          displayed at the same time then a display device of lower                    
          resolution must have been or is being used.  Belch teaches how to            
          display a variable mosaic of plural images which together are too            
          large to be displayed all at once, without need to shift or move             
          data around each time the mosaic is changed.  We do not find                 
          Belch as reasonably providing the necessary motivation or                    


                                         -6-
