          Appeal No. 2002-1041                                                        
          Application 08/866,402                                                      

          teaching in Volk of separately sensing the upper and lower                  
          portions of the visual representation of the selected key, even             
          though claim 29 is not specific as to exactly what happens when             
          the upper and lower portions are sensed.  The rejection of                  
          claim 29, and its dependent claim 30, is reversed.                          





               Claim 31                                                               
               The computer usable medium storing programming instructions            
          of claim 31 would have been obvious for the reasons stated in               
          connection with system claim 20.  The rejection of claim 31 is              
          sustained.                                                                  

               Claim 32                                                               
               The computer usable medium storing programming instructions            
          of claim 32 would have been obvious for the reasons stated in               
          connection with system claim 22.  The rejection of claim 32 is              
          sustained.                                                                  

               Claims 33 and 34                                                       
               The computer usable medium storing programming instructions            
          of claims 33 and 34 would not have been obvious for the reasons             
          stated in connection with system claim 23.  There is no teaching            
          in Volk of separately sensing the upper and lower portions of the
