          Application No. 08/150,744                                                  


          178-183 stand rejected under § 103 as obvious over Lin in view              
          of Sakakibara.  Rather than repeat the arguments of the                     
          appellants or examiner in toto, we refer the reader to the                  
          briefs and the answer for the respective details thereof.                   


                                       OPINION                                        
               In reaching our decision in this appeal, we considered                 
          the  subject matter on appeal and the rejections and evidence               
          advanced by the examiner.  We also considered the arguments of              
          the appellants and examiner.  After considering the entire                  
          record before us, we are not persuaded that the examiner erred              
          in rejecting claim 177.  We are persuaded, however, that the                
          examiner erred in rejecting claims 169-175 and 178-185.                     
          Accordingly, we affirm-in-part.  Our opinion addresses the                  
          anticipation of claim 177, the obviousness of claims 178-183,               
          and the obviousness of claims 169-175, 184, and 185.                        


                              Anticipation of Claim 177                               
               Regarding claim 177, the appellants “agree with the                    
          Examiner that manipulation of the received image is necessary               
          in order for it to be displayed.”  (Appeal Br. at 6.)  They
