              Appeal No. 2000-1323                                                                                        
              Application No. 08/923,474                                                                                  


              telephone call information is displayed on a client workstation using a graphical user                      
              interface wherein a user creates an object image symbol using the graphical user                            
              interface.  A behavior is defined for the object image symbol and information is then                       
              collected in one of three ways.  The information may be entered through an input device                     
              (e.g., keyboard); the information can be collected from an incoming call by a CTI server;                   
              and the information can be collected from other application software.   The information is                  
              automatically collected and displayed using graphical objects.  A user does not need to                     
              know programming code to create and display an object image symbol or to define a                           
              behavior of the object image symbol.                                                                        
                     Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                                         
                     1.  A method for displaying information on a client workstation, the                                 
                     information collected by a communication management server, comprising                               
                     the steps of:                                                                                        
                            (a) creating and displaying an object image symbol using a graphical                          
                     user interface on the client workstation;                                                            
                            (b) defining a behavior for said created object image symbol without                          
                     requiring written programming code; and                                                              
                            (c) collecting the information from the communication management                              
                     server and displaying the information by a graphical object representing said                        
                     object image symbol.                                                                                 






                                                            2
