interface (citing Figures 5-7, and data entry area 68, at column 5,
lines 35-50, wherein the data entry area 68 comprises “Seattle,
WA,” “Tokyo,” the data selection arrow, and the images of the
clocks representing the data entered by the user). The examiner
recognizes that Vale did not teach moving the data entry area on
the user interface to display the keyboard image, but the examiner
cited Zellweger for a teaching of adding more data to the display
and moving the data in area 150 of Figure 13, in order to
accommodate area 158 of Figure 14 without obstructing any displayed
area (citing Figures 13 and 14, and column 2, lines 29-39, and 49-
50, as well as column 11, lines 13-29 and column 12, lines 33-38).
The examiner concluded that the artisan would have found it
obvious to incorporate the feature of Zellweger, wherein data is
added to a display and a data area is moved, into Vale “because in
Vale the images of the clocks are removed from the display. It
would be desirable to be able to keep them on the display. For
example shrinking, compressing, or repositioning the image area
(also taught by Zellweger, see col. 2, lines 29-39 and lines 49-50)
would affect this” (answer-page 3).
