cameras for receiving vehicle image information to be misplaced
because although cameras 17 receive vehicle image data, the
vehicle image data is received by the service provider, and is
not received by the vehicle information receiving means of a
vehicle information display apparatus, as required by claim 1.
However, we find from the disclosure of Liebesny (col. 9, lines
15-34) that when video receivers are to be used by a customer (as

proprietary receiver, with the customer interacting with the
customer's own locally stored information rather than directly
with the information remotely stored at the Central Station. The
information is locally stored at the receivers by radio
transmission before the customer requests it, and is locally
communicated to the customer user for presentation on the
proprietary equipment, when requested. In addition Liebesny

periodically for storage and retrieval with speech and video
