Appeal No. 1998-2825
Application No. 08/595,282
Independent claim 2 is directed to a method for
monitoring the heart rate of a person including, inter alia,
the steps of:
(b) electronically obtaining a target zone
consisting of an upper limit and lower limit of the
heart rate based on the person’s age; and
(c) issuing a signal when the heart rate is outside
the target zone, wherein at least one of the upper
limit and the lower limit is selectively changeable
by the person after obtaining the target zone in
step (b). (Emphasis added).
Claim 4 is indirectly dependent on claim 1 and contains
the same “wherein” clause as claim 2.
Independent claim 6 is directed to an apparatus for1
monitoring the heart rate of a person including
means for displaying the measured heart rate,
wherein the displaying means includes electronic
circuitry for setting a target zone having an upper
heart rate limit and a lower heart rate limit based
solely upon inputted age of the person, wherein the
displaying means is configured to allow selective
change of the target zone after setting the target
zone based upon inputted age. (Emphasis added)
Claim 8 is indirectly dependent on claim 5 and contains
the same “wherein” clause emphasized above in claim 6.
Claim 6 actually reads “[a]n apparatus apparatus for monitoring” This1
informality is worthy of correction upon return of the application to the
jurisdiction of the examiner.
