          Appeal No. 2001-1944                                                        
          Application No. 08/734,857                                                  

               Of Figs. 9A-9C, Fig. 9C illustrates and column 13, line 45             
          begins a discussion of a cordless telephone as depicted.  This is           
          one variation of remote control input 124, shown in Fig. 1.  The            
          discussion at column 14 beginning at line 15 indicates that this            
          unit interconnects with the personal computer 118 by the use of             
          RF circuitry 324 in Fig. 3 and a similar discussion was                     
          introduced at the initial portion of column 9 as well.  The                 
          keyboard embodiment in Fig. 10 is also discussed at the bottom of           
          column 13 and intercommunicates with the personal computer 118 in           
          Fig. 1 by the use of RF element 1040 in Fig. 10 by means of the             
          RF input/output portion 324 in the Fig. 3 showing of the personal           
          computer 118.  Part of the remote control 124 from Fig. 9C is               
          shown in Fig. 12 to emphasize that it communicates with the                 
          personal computer by means of the radio frequency capability.               
          Note the discussion beginning at column 16, line 11.                        
               Column 17, lines 26 through 41, noted by the examiner in the           
          answer, emphasizes that the implementation of the telephone                 
          capability in these earlier figures of Schindler focuses upon               
          portable phones and speakerphones, the latter of which charac-              
          terization is consistent with appellant’s assessment of the prior           



                                          4
