Appeal No. 96-3047
Application 08/053,191
programming said mobile computing devices so as to appear
to said network as virtual routers able to change access
points during a session;
wherein said virtual routers connect one subnet to one
other subnet, said one subnet being connected to a mobile
computing device and having a fixed network ID and said other
subnet, through said fault-tolerant routing, being connected
to a selectable access point and therefore having a variable
network ID.
The Examiner relies on the following references:
Benjamin et al.(Benjamin) 4,677,588 Jun. 30,1987
Harrison 5,181,200 Jan.
19,1993
Freitas et al.(Freitas) 5,321,542 Jun. 14,1994
(effectively filed Oct. 29, 1990)
Claims 1 and 2 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over the teachings of Harrison, Freitas and
Benjamin.
Rather than repeat the discussions of Appellants and the
Examiner, we make reference to the brief and the answer for
the respective details thereof.
