Appeal No. 2002-1946
Application 08/988,080
gateway 90 and switch 95 perform the separate calling functions
of initiating two outbound calls to directly connect user A and
user B. This is clear from the discussion at the bottom of page
48 and the top of page 50.
Although the examiner's reliance upon Figures 16A through
16C ends with the discussion at page 50, line 10, the next
succeeding paragraph at lines 12-23 make clear that in the
circumstance in accordance with the embodiments in these three
figures where only one telephone line may exist, the discussion
in this paragraph makes reference to the previous discussion with
respect to Figure 14 regarding the various approaches including
the termination of the Internet session just discussed earlier in
this opinion as an option to provide a solution to the problem
presented when only a single telephone line is usable. However,
it is clear from this overall discussion, when put in proper
context with respect to Figure 14, that there is no additional
teaching or suggestion here as to the embodiments in Figure 16 to
obviate our consideration earlier with respect to failure of Low
to actually instruct a calling party to terminate the connection
as required by all claims on appeal.
