Appeal No. 2002-1875
Application 09/245,776
limitation of "said displaying a dialog box further including:
displaying at least one question to diagnose the device" was
incorporated from original filed dependent claim 20.
As to claim 15, the examiner finds that Taylor discloses
"displaying the device" at column 3, lines 10-15; "interrogating
the device in response to a user's command" at column 3,
lines 15-20; "displaying a dialog box ... in response to said
interrogation, wherein the dialog box contains a useful
description of the result of the interrogation" at Fig. 14D and
Fig. 14K; and "displaying at least one question to diagnose the
device" at Figs. 6A-6I.
Appellants argue that Taylor does not disclose "displaying
at least one question to diagnose the device" (Br10).
The examiner states that, based on appellants'
interpretation of diagnose as investigating a problem or
troubleshooting a device, questions such as "When someone calls,
do you want to hear the telephone ring?" in Fig. 6B, can be
interpreted as correspondence to a question to diagnose the
device (EA11).
Appellants respond that the questions in Figs. 6A-6I of
Taylor are for "configuring" or "setting up" a device," but does
not disclose "displaying at least one question to diagnose the
device" (RBr8).
