Appeal No. 2005-1760
Application 09/316,649
to telephone/computer network interface 128 (column 5, lines 32
through 35; column 14, lines 36 through 41; column 16, lines 19
through 26). The data transmitted to the collection center does
not, however, contain a program ID obtained by comparing a
detected channel and current time with channel and time
information stored in a TV program table as set forth in the
claims on appeal (brief, pages 9 and 10).
In summary, the obviousness rejection of claims 1 through 3,
5 through 8 and 10 through 25 is reversed.
The obviousness rejection of claims 4 and 9 is reversed
because the teachings of Rothmuller fail to cure the noted
shortcomings in the teachings of Herz, Welsh and Williams.
