a video, or sequence of “temporally related images,” a
plurality of tracks displayed at the same time and the
identification of selected areas within images.
The examiner applies Aisaka against the claims for its
teaching of selecting locations within a single, static image
on a screen but notes that Aisaka lacks the claimed “sequence
of temporally related images.” The examiner applies Preston
for a teaching of selection of locations on a displayed image
wherein the selection is made from live-motion, animated
“tracks.” The examiner contends that it would have been
obvious to apply the teachings of Aisaka to live-motion images
so as to give a user a more useful live-motion interface in
which objects in the display bear codes which can be
retrieved. Tonomura was then applied to show plural, pointer
selectable video icons which are concurrently presented on a
single display, with the additional reasoning that it would
have been obvious to give a user access to plural live-motion
images. Thus, the examiner applied Aisaka for its teaching of
identification of selected areas within images, Preston for
its teaching of a “sequence of temporally related images,” and
Tonomura for its teaching of a plurality of tracks displayed
