Appeal No. 2005-1975 Page 13
Application No. 09/819,292
From our review of Haneda, we find that although the
reference discloses the use of sensors and switches in the
detection of the positioning of the rotatable arms (and the
position of the lid), we find that the lid body detection results
in the lighting or turning off of the lighting of the two
displays. Haneda additionally discloses (col. 11, lines 4 and 5)
that “[t]he display state is controlled at the same time with the
lighting state control.” Haneda further discloses (col. 13,
lines 25-28) that “appropriate display and lighting states can be
obtained with the information processing apparatus . . . in
accordance to the states of the lid body 2.”
It is additionally disclosed that when the apparatus is in
the inverted state, “control for changing displays on the main
body display section 3 and the lid body display section 4 is
carried out in response to outputs from the main body sensor 16
and the lid body sensor 17” (col. 11, lines 59-62). When the lid
body is moved to the inverted state, information of the same
content is displayed on the main body display section 3 and the
lid body display section 4 (depending on the cursor location)
(col. 12, lines 3-28). In addition (col. 13, line 66 through
col. 14, line 4) when the lid body is in the inverted state, it
is possible to carry out a display which can be easily recognized
