          Appeal No. 1996-2822                                                        
          Application 08/153,916                                                      



          image movement vector representing movement of an object                    
          within an image represented by the image signal based on both               
          the image signal and the vibration vector" as recited in                    
          Appellant's   claim 1.  In fact, we note that Kondo fails to                
          teach "[a]n image movement vector detection apparatus for                   
          detecting an image movement vector from an image signal                     
          produced by a video camera, the image movement vector                       
          representing movement of an object within an image represented              
          by the image signal" as claimed in                                          




          Appellant's claim 1.  Upon our review of Kondo, we find that                
          Kondo is concerned with determining a vibration of the camera.              
          In column 5, lines 7 through 45, Kondo discloses a vibration                
          isolation apparatus for preventing a frame vibration of an                  
          image signal.  In particular, the output terminal 22 outputs a              
          signal representing an image vibration movement amount.  We                 
          note that Kondo is not concerned with detecting the movement                
          of an object within an image.                                               



                                          10
