Appeal No. 96-2383
Application 08/217,418
Appellant has appealed to the Board from the examiner's
final rejection of claims 6 through 10, which constitute all
the claims remaining in the application.
Claim 6 is further illustrative of the subject matter on
appeal and reads as follows:
6. An information processing device, comprising:
a recording medium on which data is recorded thereon as
files, the recording medium including identification
information for identifying whether a file should be time-
continuously processed or time-discontinuously processed;
reproducing means for reading out data recorded on said
recording medium;
buffer means having storage capacity corresponding to a
plurality of data storage units on said recording medium; and
control means for controlling data write-in and readout
operations for said buffer means so that when it is judged on
the basis of the identification information read out from said
recording medium by said reproducing means that a selected
file read out from said recording medium should be time-
continuously processed, data contained in the selected file
are written in a first part of said buffer means and at the
same time data contained in the selected file are read out
from a second part
of said buffer means, to thereby continuously output the data
contained in the selected file, and when it is judged on the
basis of the identification information read out from said
recording medium by said reproducing means that the selected
file read out from said recording medium should be time-
discontinuously processed, data contained in the selected file
are written into said buffer means and thereafter read out
