Appeal No. 2006-0165
Application 10/292,721
The appellant argues that Suarez does not disclose turning
address information into a mapping solution but, rather,
calculates criteria parameters for limiting receipt of assignment
messages by drivers (brief, page 12).
Suarez discloses that the wireless communication device
preferably uses a navigation program to calculate whether the
vehicle meets the criteria parameters by being within a specified
driving distance or driving time of the assignment, and that
program takes traffic conditions into account (col. 5, line 7 -
col. 6, line 31; col. 11, line 57 - col. 12, line 38). That
disclosure at least would have fairly suggested, to one of
ordinary skill in the art, processing the assignment address and
vehicle location into a mapping solution in order to determine,
taking into account traffic conditions, the driving distance or
driving time. Suarez would have fairly suggested, to one of
ordinary skill in the art, displaying the mapping solution to the
driver when the criteria parameters are met to provide the driver
with the shortest or quickest route from the vehicle’s location
to the assignment address.
