dimensions. Clanton further teaches that each icon is assigned
to a point on the logical coordinates in accordance with its
category in that the movies are placed on the wall board
according to an XY coordinate system based upon whether they are
a particular movie type as well as where they are as far as in
the top 10. Furthermore, Clanton teaches the step of displaying
on a monitor pictorial icons representing at least some of the
physical items in accordance with the logical coordinates of the
physical items. Therefore, Clanton teaches all the limitations
as recited in Appellants' claim 24.
In view of the foregoing, we will sustain the Examiner's
rejection of claims 24 through 27 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 as being
unpatentable over Grossman in view of Clanton and Williams.
In regards to the rejection of claim 28, we note that the
claim recites
[a] method of providing access to a database of video
data, representing identifiable video segments stored
at least one computer-accessible storage, the video
segments having at least two classifications
comprising:
representing the video data as a geometric object
having at least two dimensions wherein in the first
dimension the video segments arranged in accordance
with the first classification and in the second
dimension the video segments are arranged in accordance
with the second classification.
