          and the HTTP server communicates with the ATM through HTTP                  
          messages.                                                                   
          Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                            
                    1. Apparatus comprising:                                          
                    an ATM host, wherein the ATM host is operative to                 
               send and receive ATM transaction messages; and                         
                    an HTTP server in operative connection with a                     
               database, wherein the database includes conversion                     
               data, wherein the server includes server software                      
               operative responsive to an ATM transaction message sent                
               by the ATM host and the conversion data, to generate at                
               least one data object including transaction data.                      
          The examiner relies on the following references:                            
          Vak et al. (Vak)              5,473,143          Dec. 5, 1995               
          Anderson et al. (Anderson)    5,706,442          Jan. 6, 1998               
          Claims 7-10 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being                
          anticipated by the disclosure of Anderson.  Claims 1-6 and 11-37            
          stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a).  As evidence of                    
          obviousness the examiner offers Anderson in view of Vak.                    
          Rather than repeat the arguments of appellants or the                       
          examiner, we make reference to the briefs and the answer for the            
          respective details thereof.

          We have carefully considered the subject matter on appeal,                  
          the rejections advanced by the examiner and the evidence of                 
          anticipation and obviousness relied upon by the examiner as
