Appeal No. 95-1942
Application 08/135,190
maintaining a play list of recordings selected
for play and their order of play [the "play list" in
Rowe]:
playing recordings upon accepting credit of at
least a predetermined amount [the amount required to
play a non-"premium" recording];
determining if an amount greater than said
predetermined amount [the "premium" amount] has been
received;
determining if the customer has made a
prioritized recording selection [has selected a
recording designated by the owner as having both
"priority" and "premium" status];
if an amount greater than said predetermined
amount [if the "premium" amount] has been received
and the customer has made a prioritized recording
selection [has selected a recording that has
"priority" and "premium" status], then prioritizing
the play list whereby the prioritized selection will
be played in advance of other selections which have
not been prioritized.
We note the last paragraph of the claim does not require that
the "priority" status of the "prioritized selection" be
determined by whether or not the customer has paid "an amount
greater than said predetermined amount," i.e., the "premium"
amount.
Consequently, we are affirming the § 103 rejection
of claim 17 and of claim 7, which is grouped therewith, over
the admitted prior art jukeboxes in view of Rowe and Pioneer.
