Appeal No. 1999-0477 Page 8
Application No. 08/571,236
The system includes a telephone having an input
device. Telephone amenity i.d. information is
stored in the telephone and then billing information
from a user is input and stored in the telephone.
In addition, amenity selection information is also
input into the telephone to select an amenity having
associated therewith selected stored identification
information. The telephone is connected with a
remote billing station in response to input of both
the amenity selection information and the user
billing information. This information is then
translated to
the remote billing station. At the remote billing
station, the received billing information is
validated to determine if it is acceptable.
Additionally, col. 4, lines 3-7 state “[t]he entire billing
procedure is performed at the store-and-forward switch 20 at
the remote location and neither the amenities nor the
establishment contracting for the access phone 10 have the
responsibility for validation of the card or retaining billing
information.”
From these teachings of Biggs, we find that Biggs does not
disclose that a credit card, used to charge amenities, will
include a processor configured to determine steps in the
transactional applications based on chip card data.
