Appeal No. 96-2383
Application 08/217,418
teachings of time discontinuous processing as required by
claim 6 on appeal for the visual display capabilities in
Yamauchi. For the karaoke environment of Yamauchi, there is
simply no specific teaching that the data structure of
Yamauchi, which is consistent with the conventional data
structure of the prior art in disclosed Figure 1, is
specifically taught to permit the use of the time
discontinuous or non-real-time setting of the appropriate flag
to process the graphic or other information in association
with the audio information time continuously processed at
substantially the same time.
For his part, the examiner appears to merely assert that
Yamauchi teaches the noted time continuous and time
discontinuous
capabilities in a coordinating manner. Our study of Yamauchi
does confirm the examiner's basic assertion that Yamauchi
processes audio information in a time continuous manner but
does not confirm that the other or graphic information is
processed in a time discontinuous manner in accordance with
the requirements of claim 6 on appeal.
