Appeal No. 96-4029 Application 08/386,604 windows so as to include only nonoverlapping portions of the lesser priority windows. We note that claim 1 recites the following: obtaining a first list of graphic orders for graphic objects in a first window of the overlapping windows and a second list of graphic orders for graphic objects in a second window of the overlapping windows, wherein the second window has a higher priority than the first window; processing the first list to identify nonoverlapping graphic objects, wherein the nonoverlapping graphic objects are not within an overlapping portion of the first and second windows; processing the second list of graphic orders and the nonoverlapping graphic objects to generate a list of modified graphic orders. Furthermore, we note that claim 8 recites the following: detection means for detecting nonoverlapped graphics portions of the graphics objects of the first list, wherein the nonoverlapped graphics portions are not overlaid by the second window; processing means, operably coupled to the detection means, for processing the nonoverlapped graphics portions and the second list of graphics orders to generate a list of modified graphics orders. 6Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
