Appeal 2006-3362
Application 09/838,365
STATEMENT OF CASE
Appellants appeal from a final rejection of claims 1 to 18 under
authority of 35 U.S.C. § 134. The Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences
(BPAI) has jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 6(b).
Appellants’ invention relates to a method, system and computer
program for enlarging the size of images in an electronic document. In the
words of the Appellants:
The present invention provides a method, program and
apparatus for providing access to alternate images in an electronic
document. The present invention comprises identifying an initial
image to be displayed in an electronic document (typically a web
page) and then determining if alternate versions of the image are
available for display. If alternate versions of the image are available,
they are provided within the same electronic document. The alternate
images differ from the initial image in size and resolution, allowing
users with visual impairments to access larger, higher resolution
images. The user accesses the alternate images by means of a selector
displayed within the electronic document. When selected, the
alternate image replaces the initial image in the electronic document,
and the document is reformatted.
(Specification 3).
Claim 1 and Claim 15 are exemplary:
1. A method for providing alternate images in an electronic document,
comprising:
identifying an initial image to be displayed in an electronic document;
explicitly providing references to alternate images of the initial image
within, the same electronic document, wherein the alternate images differ
from the initial image in size and resolution, and wherein the alternate
images are different-sized versions of the initial image;
displaying the initial image;
providing a selector for accessing the alternate images; and
