subsequently to continue to deal with the
incoming call as if untreated by the user.
Therefore, the scope of the claims before us requires a processor
operable to delay performances of the predetermined function for
a period during which the user generation of predefined cancella-
tion signal cancels performance of the predetermined function.
Turning to Furuno, we fail to find that Furuno teaches
this limitation. We note that Furuno teaches two separate
embodiments. The first embodiment is shown in Figure 4 in which
taking out the earphone 27 causes detection switch 67 to switch.
The controller 95 performs the function of placing the handset in
the off-hook position after a time interval after the detection
switch 67 is switched. See column 5, lines 29-52. When the
earphone cord 29 is placed back on the reel after the conversa-
tion is over, detection switch 68 is closed and the controller 95
switches the telephone to the on-hook state. See column 6,
lines 33-38.
In a second embodiment, Appellants show in Figure 9
that a lid element 105 providing an area of notch 26 in the
earphone containing portion 28 is present. The lid element 105
is configured to push a detection switch 108. When the lid
element 105 is open, the telephone is switched to the off-hook
