had its own processor and was electrically connected to
the apparatus, the claims still require that the module’s
electrical circuit execute communication programs and
applications (a function not suggested by Takagi or any other
applied reference) and, moreover, that it do so “in
cooperation with the electrical circuits” of the apparatus, or
communication device. The electrical circuits of the
apparatus must also have a processor. There is clearly no
indication in Takagi that both the main body of the telephone
and the module have processors nor does it seem even likely
that Takagi would even need a processor in each of the main
body and the module in view of the rather simple and mundane
functions described by Takagi, i.e., transfer of data from a
telephone memorandum module to the main body. In any event,
there clearly is no disclosure or suggestion in Takagi, or in
any other applied reference, for processing circuitry in each
of the main body apparatus and the module whereby there is
interaction between the two such that an electrical circuit in
the module executes communication programs and applications in
