Appeal No. 2006-0165
Application 10/292,721
Suarez discloses that the dispatch center includes a
dispatch controller that encodes passengers’ inbound dispatch
requests into outbound assignment messages, and decodes inbound
replies from the vehicles for matching a request for dispatch
with a vehicle that affirmatively replies (col. 3, lines 13-14
and 21-25). That disclosure would have fairly suggested, to one
of ordinary skill in the art, storing, at the dispatch center,
the requests and replies so that they can be matched. Suarez’s
disclosures that the requests can be received over the Internet
and that the dispatch center communicates with the vehicle
wirelessly (col. 3, lines 6-10 and 31-32) would have fairly
suggested, to one of ordinary skill in the art, storing the data
in a web server and transmitting the matched requests and replies
to the vehicles over the Internet.
Claim 2
Fan discloses a method for distributing location relevant
information including advertising of local interest, discount
coupons accepted by local businesses, and addresses of local
points of interest, to data receivers in mobile units which can
be taxicabs (col. 1, lines 63-67; col. 2, line 55 - col. 3,
line 1).
