          Appeal No. 2002-1474                                      Page 14           
          Application No. 09/002,927                                                  

          synthesis or reconstruction at the proprietary receiver.  The               
          single set of updated data transmitted for local storage,                   
          moreover, is used both for the audio and graphic interpretations            
          of the information.”  Liebesny further discloses (col. 9, lines             
          47-49) that “[a] keyboard selection KA and Kv, FIG. 6, will still           
          cause previously recorded information to be played back (either             
          audibly or visually).”  From the disclosure of Liebesny that the            
          digitally transmitted information is broken down as to graphics,            
          and that previously stored information will be played back                  
          visually, we find that receivers V of Liebesny receive image                
          data, and play back the received image data on video receiver V.            
          Moreover, from the disclosure that the received information is              
          reconstructed by the receiver (col. 9, lines 39-41) we find that            
          to be reconstructed as video data, that the data sent to the                
          receiver was originally video data before it was encoded and                
          transmitted for reconstruction as image signals.                            
               From all of the above, we find that Liebesny discloses "when           
          the vehicle information receiving means receives a vehicle                  
          information based on image data, the vehicle information based on           
          image data is displayed,” as recited in claim 1.                            
               We are not persuaded by appellants assertion (brief, page 7)           
          that the data received by receiver V is not image data because it
