Appeal No. 2003-0408
Application 09/019,965
would have been obvious to the artisan to include the digital
camera of Nagasawa in the system of Tung. The examiner also
finds that it would have been obvious to the artisan to store
still images and digital video streams in first and second
memories of a computer system. Finally, the examiner finds that
there is no evidence that the combined system would suffer from
interruptions or information being lost or destroyed. The
examiner, therefore, concludes that the combined system would
operate in a non-interruptible manner [answer, pages 4-5].
With respect to independent claims 1 and 8, appellant
argues that there is no teaching or suggestion in Tung or
Nagasawa to combine the features disclosed in the two references
to arrive at the claimed invention. Appellant also argues that
neither Tung nor Nagasawa, alone or in combination, teaches or
suggests that the entire capture and image retrieval command
sequence of claims 1 and 8 is an atomic operation and non-
interruptible. Appellant notes that the lack of a discussion of
interrupting video streaming in Tung or Nagasawa is not evidence
that the combined system would operate in an atomic and non-
interruptible manner as claimed [brief, pages 5-7].
