Appeal No. 1997-1240 Application 07/881,753 signal having a same format as the high definition signal and the same field frequency as that of a standard television signal as recited in Appellants' claim 1. The Examiner responded to Appellants' above argument on page 9 of the answer stating that the claimed high definition processing means for applying to the double rate signal a scanning line conversion processing to convert the same into a signal having the same format as that of a high definition signal to be an inherent characteristic of Katsumata's figure 11, component 1103, because Katsumata's reference discloses that the signal outputted from figure 11, component 1103, to be a double rate signal as well as a high definition signal as clearly specified in Katsumata's column 15, lines 7 through 12. In column 15, lines 7 through 12, Katsumata states: The double scanning speed conversion circuit 1103 forms interpolation scanning lines from the output signals of the IDTV processor 1101 and the EDTV processor 1102, and performs movement adaptation scanning line inter- polation processing so as to attain high definition. 8Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
