window is already displayed is unpersuasive. The Edit Window
264 is just a wordprocessing window for entering data into the
object; it is not the object itself. Instead of a separate
line for each field (object) as for fields 0, 1, and 7 in
Appellants' figure 2, Davis uses a pointer 266 to indicate the
field and a single edit window because the data length may be
extensive. Claim 1 does not specify how the objects or
locations appear on the user interface and does not define
over Davis. The edit window's presence in Davis does not
eliminate the need to determine if the second object is
present on the user interface. The system in Davis determines
that the next object is on the user interface if the TAB key
is pressed (i.e., that it is one of the fields for a
particular category) and determines that the next object is
not on the interface if the "next category" is selected from
the menu. The location of the cursor in the edit window for a
first object (say "alpha 1") is a first location and the
location of the cursor in the edit window for the second
object (say "beta 1") is a second location although the cursor
may have the same physical location on the screen.
