Appeal No. 96-0463
Application 08/069,161
the examiner allowed claims 1 through 4, and 8 through 12. As a
result of the supplemental examiner's answer mailed on September
30, 1998, which follows from a remand to the examiner from this
panel on July 30, 1998, the examiner has withdrawn a rejection as
to claims 6 and 14 and indicates they would be allowable if
rewritten in independent form including all the limitations of
the base claim and any intervening claims. Therefore, the claims
that remain on appeal for our consideration are claims 5, 7, 13
and 15.
Representative claim 5 is reproduced below:
5. A method for generating a list of places of interest
geographically located near a travel route, the method comprising
the steps of:
providing a user interface for receiving user input;
providing a routing database having geographic information
for roads and places within a geographic region;
providing a place of interest database having geographic
center data indicating the geographic locations of geographic
centers within the geographic region and places of interest data
associating each place of interest with one of the geographic
centers;
selecting, via the user interface, a departure point and a
destination point geographically located within the geographic
region;
using the routing database to generate a travel route
between the selected departure point and the selected destination
point;
