         Appeal No. 2004-1379                                                       
         Application No. 09/823,458                                                 

         as taught by Titmuss.  Titmuss teaches the desirability of using           
         prestored user preferences so that only the most desirable                 
         downloaded information gets displayed to the user.  We agree with          
         the examiner that the artisan would have been motivated to modify          
         Amin’s device so as to use prestored user preferences to filter            
         the data in the manner taught by Titmuss in order to display only          
         the data most desired by the user.                                         
         In summary, we have sustained the examiner’s rejection of                  
         the claims on appeal.  Therefore, the decision of the examiner             
         rejecting claims 1, 3-20 and 22 is affirmed.
