          Appeal No. 2001-1135                                                        
          Application 09/002,733                                                      

          LaJoie teaches that figure 14 is an illustrative screen display             
          of a general settings menu of a set-top terminal of one                     
          embodiment of the present invention.  See column 8, lines 59                
          through 61 of LaJoie.  LaJoie further discloses that figure 14              
          illustrates all timer setting of the general settings menu.  See            
          column 22, lines 47 through 68 of LaJoie.  LaJoie then teaches              
          another screen display in which the fields are completely                   
          different in figure 20.  Figure 20 is an illustrative screen                
          display of the theme mode of an interactive program guide of a              
          set-top terminal.  See column 9, lines 8 through 10 and column              
          26, lines 48 through 68, of LaJoie.  Finally, LaJoie teaches a              
          completely different screen with completely different field                 
          layouts in figure 29.  Although LaJoie teaches that figure 29 is            
          a screen display of an impulse pay-per-view.  See column 9, lines           
          21 through 24 and column 30, line 54 through column 32, line 7,             
          of LaJoie.  Therefore, we fail to find that the Examiner has                
          provided substantial evidence that LaJoie teaches or suggests a             
          basic field for display in consistent form regardless of the                
          selected source, wherein the consistent form comprises a same               
          displayed location and format of the basic field regardless of              
          the selected source as set forth in Appellant’s claims.                     

                                          9
