the final rejection of claims 1-22.
We reverse.
BACKGROUND
The disclosed invention is directed to an information
display system for displaying time-series numerical-value
data. As described in the specification, it was known to
display time-series numerical-value in a list form as shown in
figure 1; this lets one see the exact numerical values (and
non-numerical values, such as the "urine sugar" parameter),
but it is difficult to visually grasp the trend in the data
from this presentation. It was also known to display
time-series numerical-value data as a graph as shown in
figure 2; this lets one easily visually grasp the trend in the
data, but it is difficult to read exact values off the
coordinate axes. Appellants' invention is to display the list
of time-series order numerical-value data and the graph of the
time-series order numerical-value data simultaneously on the
same display surface as shown in figure 16.
