which has been configured according to the local database.
Although Connor refers to a prior art database for
containing personality information for the system [column 1,
lines 28-30], the only storage area of Connor’s disclosed
system which stores operating parameters is the “first data
base” [column 1, line 68 to column 2, line 2]. This first
database is changed infrequently and only through intervention
of service personnel [column 4, lines 24-28]. The second
database in Connor gets changed whenever the first database
has been changed. Thus, while the claimed invention recites
retrieving information from
the database having the personality profile and updating this
database based on information from the local database, Connor
never updates the first database based on information in the
second database. The first database in Connor gets updated
only in response to intervention by service personnel.
Independent claims 4 and 9 do not update the
personality profile as recited in claims 1 and 7, but these
claims recite that the local database is updated in response
to a “validate configuration request” message. As noted
