Appeal No. 95-4383
Application 08/110,456
These two group types are represented by the two output lines
from block 507, which are labeled "GROUP TOTAL-PER
TRANSACTION" and "GROUP TOTAL AFTER DISCOUNT CRITERIA MET,"
both of which are shown connected as inputs to block 508,
which is labeled "SELECT DISCOUNT CRITERIA." The reference 4
goes on to say that "[i]f the user has entered a type, e.g.
"flat" or "percent", a prompt is displayed for entry of the
discount criteria, at block 508" (col. 6, lines 23-25). This
appears to be an error, because the "flat" and "percentage"
choices relate to "SELECT DISCOUNT TYPE" block 504 rather than
to "SELECT GROUP TYPE" block 506, which immediately precedes
block 508. In any event, the reference continues:
The user now has the choice of entering a selection that
the discount will be based upon the dollar amount of
usage of the carrier and/or class by the shipper, the
number of pieces for which the carrier and/or class has
been used by the shipper, or the total weight of parcels
that have been shipped by the carrier and/or class.
After entry of the desired selection, the user is now
prompted, at block 210, to enter the time period for
which the discount is to be applicable. . . . After the
user enters the desired period, the program exits, for
example to the menu for further entries.
4It is not clear why the "GROUP TOTAL-PER TRANSACTION"
output of block 507, which does not appear to be based on
discount criteria, is applied as an input to block 508.
