          Appeal No. 1999-2379                                                        
          Application 08/716,061                                                      

               of recording among the control data and the order                      
               list p3 which are supplied from the controller 2                       
               represents that one of the recorder/reproducer.                        
                    The sequence of operations by the above various                   
               devices is summarized as follows:  When the broadcast                  
               schedule list data p1 as shown in FIG. 4 are supplied                  
               to the controller 2, the controller 2 compares the                     
               broadcast schedule list data p1 with the data bases for                
               the recorder/reproducers 6a, 6b, ..., 6n to determine                  
               which ones of the recorder/reproducers 6a, 6b, ..., 6n                 
               have not recorded which material.                                      
                    Thereafter, the control data (including the shelf                 
               number data) and the order list data p3 are supplied to                
               the cart machine 5 and the recorder/reproducers 6a, 6b,                
               ..., 6n to enable the cart machine 5 to reproduce the                  
               video and audio signals of a desired material and also                 
               to enable desired ones of the recorder/reproducers 6a,                 
               6b, ..., 6n to record the reproduced material.                         
               [Emphasis added.]                                                      
               Assuming the "control data and order list data p3"                     
          corresponds to a "record list," as argued by Appellant, we                  
          find that a record list of non-recorded materials to be                     
          recorded is added to this record list.  Takeuchi discloses                  
          that one of the recorder/reproducers records the supplied                   
          audio signals av if data indicative of recording among the                  
          control data and the order list p3 represents that                          
          recorder/reproducer (first paragraph quoted above).  That                   
          is, the order list p3 contains a list of materials to be                    
          recorded.  Takeuchi determines non-recorded material by                     

                                       - 11 -
