Application No. 10/017,739
1. A method of monitoring a computer network for specified events
at a presence, comprising:
gathering heterogeneous data, as directed by the presence, at two or
more remote computers and placing the gathered data in a data stream
and forwarding the data stream to the presence;
receiving, at the presence, the at least one data stream sent from the
two or more remote computers, the data stream including data
representative of events; and
applying rules to the at least one data stream at the presence for
sorting data representative of events and for taking one or more actions
based on a specified event.
The following reference is relied on by the examiner:
McCreery et al. (McCreery) 5,787,253 July 28, 1998
(filing date May 28, 1996)
Claims 1, 4-6, 8, 15-19, 22, 24, 26, 28, 31 and 32 stand rejected
under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as being anticipated by McCreery. Claims 2, 14,
20, 23, 27 and 29 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103. As evidence of
obviousness, the examiner relies upon McCreery alone.
Rather than repeat the positions of the appellant and the examiner,
reference is made to the brief and reply brief for the appellant’s positions,
and to the answer for the examiner’s positions.
