reasonable suggestion to one with ordinary skill in the art to
display a selected portion of high resolution data on a display
device of "lower" resolution. Displaying only a part of the
stored image data is readily achievable by use of the same
display device.
The examiner evidently regards any display device which does
not display the entirety of the image stored in memory as a
"lower resolution display device" (Paper No. 14, lines 3-10). As
the appellant points out (Supp. Reply. at 2), that is incorrect.
The examiner's position is clearly erroneous in that regard. The
appellant correctly states that the terms high and low resolution
monitors or display devices do not depend on whether or not the
display system can display all of the display data stored in
memory. Rather, the terms are based on the size of the display
system's pixel matrix. The appellant's specification does not
define a different meaning for high and low resolution display
than that commonly recognized in the art. Indeed, the
specification discusses display resolution by reference to the
size of the pixel matrix (see Summary of Invention and also page

Claim 2 depends from claim 1 and thus includes all
limitations of claim 1. Claim 4 depends from claim 3 and thus
