version of The Random House College Dictionary as "3. the
organization, plan, style, or type of something: a complicated
format" or "4. Computer Technol. the organization or
disposition of symbols on a magnetic tape, punch card, or the
like, in accordance with the input requirements of a computer,
card-sort machine, etc.," the format data of claim 36 broadly
encompasses any information describing the organization of the
photographic data.
Robison discloses (column 3, lines 20-24) that the
problem solved is "how to permit the photofinisher to use
magnetic recording on film . . . using the same magnetic
recording format . . . for all cases." Robison teaches
(column 3, lines 32-39) that
[m]agnetic reading and writing of information in a
virtually transparent magnetic layer in the film
during each stage of film use and film processing is
restricted to certain dedicated parallel tracks
extending longitudinally along the length of the
film, the choice of track being determined in
accordance with the particular information being
recorded. Each track begins and ends essentially
within a particular frame.
