the need for special programming skills. (Brief 7). Language specific
attributes are assigned an identification number (IDs) (Specification
11 middle), with these IDs being arranged as keys to a database
(Figure 3), and with attributes in the same language having related IDs
(e.g. IDs starting in the 100’s (e.g. 101, 102 …) signify English, IDs
in the 500’s signify French). (See Specification page 11). The
invention uses a database of the terms in the different languages,
called a Language Resource Control File (LRCF), with appropriate
programming, to put the proper language words into the GUI in
response to the user selecting the desired language. See Figure 2 of
the Specification, where the user clicks the flag indicating the country
using the desired language. Attributes that are changed include fonts,
alphabet characters, audio data, and of course, words. (Specification
12-14).
2. The Examiner has cited Kennelly, which teaches a GUI that
comprises a set of web pages designed for a visual display. “The user
interface includes a set of pages that are represented by a set of
corresponding management objects.” (Col. 1, l. 43). The user selects
from a menu a language which will be stored in box 52 (Figures 2 and
3), for example with a mouse, “The user can select the desired
language in box 218, e.g. with a mouse”. (Col. 9, l. 13). For example
the identifier 54 represents English, and 56 represents Japanese.
Wording, characters, fonts, formatting and other attributes are all
changed depending on the language. (Col 9, l. 20, and col. 11,
middle). The choices for all the different languages are stored in data
files, such as #160. (Col. 3, l. 20).
