Appeal No. 2002-1771
Application 09/204,914
files contained therein, as well as a file itself, claim 1
requires the displayed "high interactivity objects" to be from
the "displayed plurality of objects." Claim 1, as drafted, does
not appear to permit a "file" to be displayed as a "high
interactivity object" while the directory that contains the file
is what is displayed separately. We point out this claim
interpretation in case it is not what appellants intend.
Based on the proper claim interpretation, we agree with
appellants that the CENTER & RADIUS item cannot be "high
interactivity objects [displayed] separate from but
simultaneously with said displayed plurality of objects" because
the CENTER & RADIUS item is not one of the "plurality of
interactive objects" which is monitored. The examiner errs in
finding that the CENTER & RADIUS item is a high interactivity
object selected in response to monitoring user interactivity with
the CIRCLE object. The CENTER & RADIUS item in Fig. 3 is clearly
a high interactivity object selected in response to monitoring
user interactivity with the menu items CENTER & RADIUS, TWO
POINTS (DIAMETER), THREE POINTS on menu 6 (col. 2, line 59 to
col. 3, line 5), not with respect to the CIRCLE object as stated
by the examiner. The CENTER & RADIUS high interactivity is not
displayed separate from but simultaneously with the menu items of
menu 6; only the CENTER & RADIUS object is shown with the other
objects concealed by the FULL MENU button.
