data, comprising:
a display for displaying data;
means for optionally setting a confidential mode and
indicating whether the electronic apparatus is currently in a
confidential mode;
processing circuitry for determining whether data to be
displayed is confidential, and displaying confidential data on
said display after converting the confidential data into
different data using a code converter if said electronic
apparatus is set in a confidential mode.
The following references are relied on by the examiner:
Karasawa et al. (Karasawa) 4,786,900 Nov. 22,
1988
WordPerfect for Windows, Version 5.1, pp. 3, 12, 13, 347 and 348
(1991)(WordPerfect Corp.).
Simpson, “Mastering WordPerfect 5.1 & 5.2 for Windows,” pp. 5
and 408-10 (1993)(Sybex).
Claims 1 and 3 through 24 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. §
103. As evidence of obviousness, the examiner relies upon either
WordPerfect reference each in view of Karasawa.
Rather than repeat the positions of the appellants and the
examiner, reference is made to the briefs and the answer for the
respective details thereof.
