with Lincke’s user interface. The examiner states that data in
the call history can be manipulated in the same manner as data in
the all category.
Appellants argue that the combination of art does not
show or suggest the ability to select a recent category so that
entries in the recent category are displayed in a manner that
allows the user to manipulate the entries in the same manner that
entries can be manipulated from the all categories label.
Appellants note in particular that a user in Hawkins cannot
delete a record in the address book through the call history list
because Hawkins does not suggest such a feature and because the
user would lose valuable information from the address book when
he only wanted to eliminate a phone number (brief, pages 4-7).
The examiner responds that the user in Hawkins may edit
entries from the call history list which consists of the same
kind of manipulations performed on entries from the address book.
The examiner also asserts that the delete argument is not
persuasive because claim 1 does not recite the delete
manipulation. The examiner notes that the “manner” of claim 1 is
met by the manipulations of selected, highlighted, dialed, edited
and saved in Hawkins (answer, pages 6-7).
