Appeal No. 2003-0739
Application No. 09/319,763
recompressed by a recompression network. The recompression
network is selectively inhibited when the subsampling network is
activated.
Claim 1 is illustrative of the invention and reads as
follows:
1. In a system for processing a datastream of MPEG coded
image representative data, an MPEG compatible signal
processing system comprising:
a decompressor for decompressing MPEG compressed data to
produce decompressed data;
a data reduction network for data-reducing said decompressed
data to produce data-reduced information, said data
reduction network comprising a recompression network and a
subsampling network;
an image data processor responsive to said data-reduced
information; and
a control network for inhibiting said recompression network
selectively when said subsampling network is activated.
The Examiner relies on the following prior art:
Canfield et al. (Canfield) 5,825,424 Oct. 20, 1998
(filed Jun. 19, 1996)
Claims 1-8 stand finally rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
as being unpatentable over Canfield.
Rather than reiterate the arguments of Appellants and the
Examiner, reference is made to the Brief (Paper No. 8) and Answer
(Paper No. 9) for the respective details.
