4, lines 21-22) and it is an Internet-based service that updates
the graphic user interface (page 4, lines 28-29), Kemink may be
said to receive at an Internet Web site data that functions to
identify at least one of a plurality of consumer electronic
devices. Of what use does Kemink make of this data? It uses the
data to download graphic user interfaces corresponding to
particular appliances. But, in modifying Kemink, in accordance
with the teachings of van Ee, to use the Internet Web site for
accessing pre-programmed sequences, or macros, corresponding to
the appliances, it is clear that Kemink would be using appliance
identity data to access the appropriate macro.
Having considered each of appellants’arguments, and finding
none convincing of unobviousness of the claimed subject matter,
and since appellants do not separately argue the dependent
claims, we will sustain the examiner’s rejection of claims 22-50
under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
The examiner’s decision is affirmed.
