Appeal No. 2004-0945
Application No. 09/605,929
as to which frame should be scrolled (specification, page 2).
The present invention provides for a scroll device which
automatically scrolls the displayed frames wherein the frame that
has reached its end does not scroll anymore while the other frame
continues to scroll until its end is reached (specification, page
4).
Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:
1. A method comprising:
receiving a command to scroll each of a first frame for
display in a first display window and a second frame for
display in a second display window, said first and second
frames having a beginning and an end, at least one of said
frames being larger than its window;
scrolling each frame in its window in response to said
command;
determining when the beginning or end of one of said
frames is displayed in its window; and
automatically stopping the scrolling of a frame when
its beginning or end is displayed while continuing to scroll
the other of said frames.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the
Examiner in rejecting the appealed claims are:
Gillick et al. (Gillick) 5,530,455 Jun. 25, 1996
Onda et al. (Onda) 5,877,760 Mar. 2, 1999
