television 16 such that information can be transmitted
therefrom through the access phone 10,” there is no disclosure
in Biggs that the information transmitted from the television
16 via the access phone 10 includes an overlay image.
Further, we find that Biggs discloses (col. 4, line 61
through col. 5, line 2) that
This would allow the user to select, for example, a
movie. The amenity 52 would then initiate
activation of the in-room amenity 54. This could be
done remotely by a call to the hotel establishment
to activate the amenity, or some similar way.
Another method for activating an in-room amenity
is that the store-and-forward switch 48 itself collects
prompt information from the access phone 10 and then
initiates a routine wherein it activates the in-room
amenity 54 itself.
Thus, we find no teaching or suggestion in Biggs of “image
overlay means for overlaying an image corresponding to said
received data on another image displayed on said television
receiver” as recited in claim 13. We would have to resort to
speculation to assert that an image would be received on the
TELEVISION of Biggs and that the image received corresponding
to received data was overlaid on another image.
