         Appeal No. 2006-1492                                                       
         Application No. 09/884,489                                                 




         history.  Alternatively, you can instruct your browser not to              
         save history information in the first place.”  But, as the                 
         examiner recognized, SurfSmart does not indicate anywhere that             
         this user input is “the entry of a selected user identification.”          
              HistoryKill does appear to disclose selective disabling or            
         erasing of history information on a browser and while there is a           
         dearth of disclosure, the Figure on page 1 does appear to permit           
         a designation of a user name so one might say that there is a              
         receipt of a user input and that input is the entry of a selected          
         user identification.  Moreover, as is apparent from the Figure on          
         page 1 of HistoryKill, the combination of user identification              
         input and an appropriate box checked, e.g., “History file,” will           
         delete the elements of the checked box e.g., “History file” when           
         the “Kill” button is clicked.                                              
              The examiner relies on Janis for disabling history recording          
         processes associated with the browser for an identified session,           
         responsive to receiving the user input and wherein the identified          
         session is identified based on the selected user identification,           
         as claimed.                                                                

                                         5
