Appeal No. 2002-2177 Page 14
Application No. 08/777,424
(Examiner's Answer at 31.) The appellants make the following argument.
[T]he Examiner has completely failed to address the limitations in claim 14
which require ["]a display unit having a first correction intention input
display displayed for only a specified one or some of said plurality of
different image data in the vicinity of the specified image or images, and a
second correction intention input display displayed for all the images,
wherein the automatic layout unit decides a layout of at least positions of
said plurality of image data."
(Reply Br. at 10-11.)
1. Claim Construction
Claim 14 recites in pertinent part the following limitations: "[a]n image edit device
comprising . . . a display unit having a first correction intention input display displayed
for only a specified one or some of said plurality of different image data in the vicinity of
the specified image or images, and a second correction intention input display
displayed for all the images. . . ." Giving the claim its broadest, reasonable
construction, the limitations require that an image editing device concurrently display a
window allowing a user to input data for correcting all of images inputted to the device
and a window near a subset of the images allowing a user to input data for correcting
the subset.
