Appeal No. 2003-2053
Application 08/646,500
page 9 of Appellant’s specification. Because the accessory
provides its capability to the teleconference system while
remaining independent of the application, an application with
only minimal teleconference capability may appear to the user to
be quite robust simply by accessorizing a number accessories.
See page 10 of Appellant’s specification.
Claim 1 is representative of Appellant’s claimed invention
and is reproduced as follows:
1. A system comprising:
a processor;
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory storing a
teleconferencing application and at least one accessory; and
an accessory invocation mechanism which dynamically
associates the accessory with the teleconferencing application
such that a capability of the accessory is provided during a
teleconference, independent of the teleconferencing application.
