system was mounted in a vehicle can be preformed with ease"
(Specification at 3, lines 10-12).
Claim 1, the sole independent claims, reads as follows:
1. A location detecting system mounted on a vehicle,
comprising: sensor means; a main body having an operating mode
consisting of a traveling mode and a simulation mode and
including location detecting means for calculating a current
location of said vehicle on the basis of data sensed by said
sensor means and further including a navigation controller
connected to said location detecting means; change-over means for
changing over said operating mode to said traveling mode or said
simulation mode; storage means detachably connected to said main
body; write means for storing said data sensed by said sensor
means into said storage means when said storage means is
connected to said main body and also said main body is in said
traveling mode; read means for inhibiting said data sensed by
said sensor means from being supplied to said location detecting
means and instead supplying the data stored in said storage means
to said location detecting means, when said storage means is
connected to said main body and said main body is in said
simulation mode; and displaying means for displaying during said
traveling mode said current location of said vehicle calculated
by said location detecting means, wherein during said simulation
mode, said location detecting means calculates a vehicle location
based on said data supplied from said storage means, said
calculated vehicle location being displayed by means during said
simulation mode.
The references relied on by the examiner are:
Benn et al. (Benn) 4,604,711 Aug. 5, 1986
Ando 4,903,211 Feb. 20, 1990
The examiner has rejected claims 1, 2 and 5-7 for
obviousness over Benn and claims 3 and 4 for obviousness over
Benn in view of Ando. Appellant treats claims 1, 2 and 5-7 as
