Appeal No. 97-0802
Application 08/414,112
Moss does not disclose that the display can be for
displaying communications information and telephone push
buttons of a mobile telephone equipment. The Examiner states
that "[t]he prior art set forth by applicant shows all the
claimed structure needed for a mobile telephone" (EA3). While
Appellant's figure 4 shows only a handset, there appears to be
no disagreement that it would have been obvious for Moss to
display any kind of control panel, including mobile telephone
equipment communications information and telephone push
buttons.
Moss does not disclose or suggest "a transparent touch
panel formed on the front windshield in a pattern
corresponding to the displayed telephone push buttons." The
Examiner finds that "Ellis had suggested (col. 2, lines 42-46)
that light could pass through a programmable keyboard with
actuating key means" (EA3). The Examiner concludes that
"[o]ne of ordinary skill in the art having Ellis would readily
find it obvious that the actuating keys in Moss could be made
part of the head-up display" (EA3).
