          Appeal No. 2006-0558                                                        
          Application 09/800,113                                                      

          as extracting data from them.  Appellant attempts to predicate              
          patentability on the word “extraction”.                                     
               Notwithstanding these considerations, there are at least two           
          aspects of the teachings of French that permits this more narrow            
          view anyway.  Figure 5 of French is characterized as depicting              
          the three principal software modules that carry out the steps of            
          the general method of operation of French’s embodiment.  A report           
          distribution module 180 in figure 5 is shown in detail in figure            
          13 which in context permits data that has already been stored in            
          a fax queue or a print queue or a general queue to be printed out           
          later in time, even overnight.  Additionally, the figure 5                  
          showing includes the module 140 labeled the report reader module            
          which is detailed in figure 8.  The bottom portion of this latter           
          figure is depicted in Figure 12 which indicates that for a given            
          database already prestoring a queued report, a new physician may            
          be subsequently added such that data may be either faxed or                 
          printed later in time to his own office once the correct fields             
          within the database have been established and a new doctor has              
          been matched to its availability.                                           
               The second compelling teaching within French that allows for           
          the later in time extraction by an external monitoring facility             
          of prior formatted data stored in a file of information is the              
          showing in figure 11.  The augment report capability within
