Appeal No. 2002-1771
Application 09/204,914
Although not relied on by the examiner, Fig. 5 of Siefert
comes close to meeting the simultaneous display limitation. The
top embodiment shows high activity objects (menu items LINE and
CIRCLE) displayed separate from and simultaneously with objects
representing the other menu items, unlike the lower embodiment in
which the objects representing other menu items are hidden under
the MORE? option. However, claim 1 requires the separate but
simultaneously displayed "plurality of objects" to include all of
the objects which is not shown in Fig. 5. That is, the selected
high activity objects (LINE and CIRCLE) would have to be
displayed separately from the menu 6, not just emphasized within
the menu, to meet claim 1. This is not taught.
