Application No. 08/119,980
fault information from a remote device to a
maintenance device only when the fault occurs is not
a teaching to modify the first reference, since to
do so would prevent the objective of the first
device from being accomplished.
We note that Appellant ascribes “immediate display”
and “continuous information” to Okurano. Neither phrase is
found in
the reference, instead “immediately detect” (page 3),
“immediately countermeasured” (page 3), “immediately
recognizes” (page 7), and “immediately countermeasure” (page
7) are the closest phrases found. We therefore discern that
Okurano wants the quickest possible response to a remote fault
(in a communication network), and accomplishes this with a
dedicated fault monitoring line. Okanda on the other hand
wishes to save the overhead cost of a dedicated line in
monitoring remote faults (in a non designated system), and
uses an automatic dialing system to report faults, precisely
