Appeal No. 2000-0546
Application 08/509,228
control signals to a camera such that the camera automatically
tracks the position of the speaker based upon the coordinates for
the point in space. Thus, we also fail to find that Baker
discloses a camera controller operable “to receive speaker
position data representing the position of the speaker as
coordinates for a point in space . . . to provide the camera
control signals to at least one camera such that a view of the
least one camera automatically tracks the position of the at
speaker” as recited in claim 12.
Therefore, we find that Baker fails to teach all of the
limitations of claims 1, 12, 14, 20 and 30, and thus the claims
are not anticipated by Baker.
We now turn to the rejection of claims 2-3, 5-11, 13, 15-19,
and 21-29 under 35 U.S.C. § 103. The Examiner has not relied on
the secondary references, Ashida, Washino or Kannes, to teach or
suggest the elements in claims 1, 12 or 20 missing from Baker.
As such, we also cannot sustain the rejections made under
35 U.S.C. § 103.
REMAND
After a careful review of the record, we remand the decision
to the Examiner for further consideration.
