Appeal No. 95-4968
Application 08/074,518
Independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A character recognizing apparatus, comprising:
input means for inputting a character image;
field of induction calculating means for
calculating a field of induction on the retina
of the character image input from said input
means; and
character recognizing means for recognizing a
character based on difference between fields of
induction on the retina of different character
images calculated by said field of induction
calculating means, by quantitatively evaluating a
magnitude of a strain generated when the field of
induction of one character image deforms to be
matched with the field of induction of another
character image.
The reference relied on by the Examiner are as follows:
Foote et al. (Foote) 3,874,586 Apr. 01, 1975
Claims 1 and 4 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102 as being
anticipated by Foote. Claims 2 and 3 are objected to as being
dependent upon a rejected base claim. On page 2 of the
Examiner’s answer, paper no. 19, the Examiner withdraws the
rejection of claims 1 through 4 under 35 U.S.C. § 101.
Rather than repeat the arguments of Appellant or the
Examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answers for
the details thereof.
