Appeal No. 95-4187
Application 07/835,374
the goal and to directly obtain the goal without subdividing
the goal as recited in claim 8. We find that Tsuruta teaches
these limitations in the first column of page 492 in the
section
"b) strategy objects" and on page 491, second column.
Appellants further argue that Tsuruta fails to teach
the step of proposing a result and inputting a result of
judgement conducted by a user as recited in claim 11 and
Tsuruta fails to teach that the harmonizing knowledge can be
set and modified via an input/output device as recited in
claim 14. Tsuruta teaches in the first column of page 491
that the machine shows and asks the user the information
needed and the user can intervene to modify and resume the
machine's automatic planning process or to change the planning
strategy of the machine in order for the machine to cooperate
with a human to obtain common-sense reasoning which cannot be
accomplished by the machine alone. Therefore, we find that
Tsuruta teaches these limitations recited in Appellants'
claims 11 and 14.
