between the host computer and the memory (16) of the handheld device via
a memory interface (22). (Id. 6.)
3. Alternatively, when the host is not connected to the handheld device
(10), the processing module (20) retrieves a second set of operational
instructions to playback multimedia data3 (34) stored in the memory (16) of
the handheld device (10) via memory interface (22). (Id. 9.)
The Prior Art Relied upon
4. As depicted in Figure 3, Kikinis teaches a personal digital assistant
(PDA) with a microcontroller (11), memory (13) and a host interface (14)
for connecting the PDA with a host computer (Abstract, Col. 5, ll. 41-49.)
5. Kikinis teaches that, in stand alone mode when the PDA is not docked
in the host unit, the microcontroller (11) acts as a CPU and retains full
control of its internal bus structures. (Col. 5, ll. 29-31, Col. 9, ll. 53-56.)
6. Kikinis teaches that in stand alone mode, the microcontroller (11)
loads operational instructions to retrieve applications and data stored in
memory (13). These applications and data include databases, spreadsheets,
travel files, documents, address and telephone records, and the like. (Col.
11, ll. 13-17.)
7. Kikinis teaches that, when the PDA is docked in the host unit, the
microcontroller (11) acts as a slave unit surrendering control of its CPU to
the CPU of the host computer. This enables the host computer to transfer
correspond to a file system algorithm that facilitates the handheld device to
function as a mass storage device for the host device. (Specification 16.)
3 Appellants define multimedia data to include at least one of digitized audio
data, digital video data and text data. (Specification 10.)
