Appeal No. 95-1423
Application 07/928,883
FLEMING, Administrative Patent Judge.
DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of
claims 40, 41 and 61-77. Claims 1-39, 42-56, and 58-60 have
been canceled by applicant and claim 57 stands allowed by the
Examiner.
The invention is directed to a character display unit
having a picture memory for storing characters in a multi-
color frame and a color transforming mechanism for “cross-
color mapping” at least part of the characters. Color changes
of certain charac- ters may be made manually or automatically,
based on the type or position of certain selected characters,
not based on content. The color transformations are intended
to improve the overall legibility of a displayed page.
Figure 1 diagrammatically represents the operation of the
claimed color transformation apparatus. Specifically, circle
20 represents the color transforming mechanism with alterna-
tive input color and character signals on arrows 22 and 24 and
cor- responding transformed output color and character signals
on arrows 26 and 28, respectively (page 4, lines 36-37).
