Appeal 2007-0647
Application 10/421,366
communicating an order selection menu from the merchant
service terminal to the telematics control unit over a wireless
channel, the order selection menu comprising a text description
and an image associated with at least one item on the order
selection menu;
(Claim 20).
Appellants also contend the proffered combination of August,
DiPietro, and Witkowski fails to teach and or suggest the following
limitations recited in claim 37 (App. Br. 8):
receiving and displaying on the telematics control unit an order
selection menu communicated by the merchant electronic drive-
thru service over an adhoc wireless channel, the order selection
menu comprising an image and a text description related to at
least one item on the order selection menu;
(Claim 37).
We will sustain the Examiner’s rejection of these claims for the same
reasons discussed supra with respect to independent claim 1, and also for the
following additional reasons:
We note that claims 20 and 37 recite essentially the same limitations
previously addressed in our discussion of claim 1 supra, with the exception
of the recited limitation of a “telematics control unit.” When we look to the
Specification for context regarding the intended meaning of this claim term,
we find Appellants disclose examples of telematics control units as: “a
mobile device (e.g., GSM/ GPRS or CDMA enabled device) or a wireless
personal digital assistant (PDA).” (Specification 4, ¶1016). After carefully
