Application 08/137,267
error distance or least mean square criteria to reduce
computation complexity to obtain Appellant’s invention as recited
in Appellant’s claims 1 and 9.
Appellant argues on pages 12 and 13 of the brief that the
Honey system determines which segments intersect the CEP and
determines whether there exists a segment intersecting
the CEP that corresponds to the initial position DRP .

Appellant’s invention as recited in the independent claims sets
second position candidacies forward and backward of the present
position candidacy on the road in which the vehicle is currently
travelling. Appellant argues that this is not taught or
suggested by Honey. Similarly, Appellant argues that Honey does
not teach or suggest any controlling means for setting the first
present and second present position candidacies on positions
corresponding to the road forward and backward of the first
present position candidacy as recited in Appellant’s claim 9.
Upon a closer inspection, we find that Honey teaches in
column 3, line 44, through column 4, line 25, a method for
providing information to improve the accuracy of tracking a
vehicle comprising the step of deriving any of a plurality of
parameters to determine if a more probable current position
