          Appeal No. 95-4645                                                          
          Application 07/678,441                                                      


          subject matter of the means for modifying clause of each                    
          independent claim on appeal relates to doing so for                         



          reproduced image data and reproduced voice data.  The examiner’s            
          reference to the bottom of page 21 of the specification as filed            
          correlates to the Figure 12 showing of the system of the                    
          invention which concerns modifying both image and voice data as             
          set forth at lines 22 through 26 at this page.  It is noted                 
          further that the subject matter of the original but now canceled            
          claim 1 recited this same feature of means for modifying the                
          voice data and the image data in accordance with the claimed                
          controlled program.                                                         
               In light of this understanding, it is apparent that there              
          is, as disclosed and originally claimed, a means for modifying              
          the reproduced image data and the reproduced voice data as                  
          presently claimed in independent claims 10 and 19 on appeal.                
          Although the original claims in the specification as filed do not           
          detail the manner in which the means for modifying of voice data            
          would occur, the corresponding teachings and showings associated            
          with Figure 9, as urged by appellants, do detail the specifics of           



                                          4
