Appeal No. 2005-1975 Page 15
Application No. 09/819,292
display viewing areas with a first type of application configured
to run with a computer system having a first viewing area. We
additionally find that use of the display of Haneda in a stacked
state (figure 11b) where the telephone directory software is
displayed, meets the claimed interacting of the second viewing
area with a second type of application. Thus, from the
disclosure of Haneda, we find that Haneda discloses all of the
limitations of claim 9.
Turning to Kumar, we find a touch screen that is movable
between different positions (see figures 2-4). In particular,
the display may be positioned in a variety of angular positions
relative to the main unit so as to permit operation of the unit
in laptop mode, keyboard mode, or slate style pen-based mode
(col. 2, lines 34-38). Due to the hinge connection (by hinge 36
and hinge pin 38) between the base unit 11 and display screen 16,
the unit can operate in a laptop or upright mode with the
keyboard and touch screen 18 being used (figure 2). In addition,
the unit can operate in a slate style mode where the keyboard is
not in use but the touch screen and pen-based mode in use, as the
keyboard is covered by the display (figure 4)(col. 3, lines 52-57
and col. 5, lines 10, 11, 55 and 56).
