Appeal 2007-0595
Application 09/822,855
1 ISSUES
2 The issues pertinent to this appeal are
3 • Whether the art applied shows converting a show rundown into broadcast
4 instructions that are executed in a step-by-step manner responsive to a
5 manual trigger from the producer in an event-driven manner (Br. 9).
6 • Whether the art applied shows transmitting commands to at least a camera,
7 and a robotic pan/tilt head (Br. 9).
8 • Whether the art applied shows populating a broadcast instructions time sheet
9 with production icons (Br. 14).
10 In particular, the Appellants contend that, as regards all claims, Trumbull does
11 not show execution in response to a manual trigger nor control of a camera (Br. 9)
12 and that, as regards claim 10, Washino does not show use of icons on the same
13 screen as a time relation image (Br. 14).

15 FACTS PERTINENT TO THE ISSUES
16 The following findings of fact (FF), supported by a preponderance of
17 substantial evidence, are pertinent to the above issues.
18 01. Claim 1 contains the limitation “converting said show rundown into
19 broadcast instructions that, when executed in a step-by-step manner
20 responsive to a manual trigger from the producer in an event-driven
21 manner, enable the transmitting of commands….”
22 02. This limitation in claim 1 does not recite the performance of a manual
23 trigger, but rather what the response must be should a manual trigger be
24 performed.
