          Appeal No. 1999-0085                                                        
          Application No. 08/427,514                                                  


          storing the updated view of the radio communication database                
          in the local database [id.].  The examiner disagrees with each              
          of appellants’ arguments [answer, pages 5-8].                               
          After a careful consideration of the record before us,                      
          we agree with appellants that Connor does not anticipate the                
          claimed invention.  Although the examiner has found some                    
          similarities between the claimed invention and the database                 
          management of Connor, we find that Connor does not disclose                 
          each of the steps recited in the claimed invention.                         
          The invention of independent claims 1 and 7 refers to                       
          three storage areas, that is, a radio communication database,               
          a local database and a radio system personality profile.  The               
          information in the radio system personality profile is                      
          retrieved                                                                   


          and compared to information in the local database.  The radio               
          system personality profile is updated with information from                 
          the local database when the compared information does not                   
          agree.  Finally, the claimed invention performs operational                 
          control of the system through the device holding the radio                  
          system personality profile by a console operator interface                  
                                          6
