and AAA, monitor municipal transit controls and wrecker
companies, cellular phone users, video cameras, etc. In
addition, Liebesny discloses sending radio transmissions to the
video receivers V in the vehicles. From the disclosures of
Liebesny and Furuya, we find that an artisan would have been
motivated to provide the road information display system of
Furuya with the multiple inputs regarding traffic congestion,
etc. and to provide the information to the receiver as disclosed
by Liebesny in the system of Furuya, to provide a comprehensive,
integrated traffic information system as a complement to the
system of Furuya, in order to provide more accurate traffic

Furuya, the system would play back image information received
from the system provider. Thus, we find that the systems of
Furuya and Liebesny complement each other and do not teach away
from each other as asserted by appellants. Nor are we persuaded
by appellants’ assertion (brief, page 8) that because the
information received by receiver V in Liebesny can be
reconstructed in video or audio formats, that the information is
not displayed as received. The fact that the data received can
be reconstructed in either video or audio formats does not mean
