Appeal 2007-1576
Application 10/020,398
INVENTION
The invention is directed to online meeting software which reduces delays in
viewing presentations, by retrieving previously sent slides stored in a local cache in
lieu of re-loading the slides from a remote computer. See pages 1, 3 and 4 of
Appellant’s Specification. Claim 1 is representative of the invention and
reproduced below:
1. An article comprising a medium storing instructions that, if executed,
enable a first processor-based system to:
set up an on-line meeting with a second processor-based system;
receive first information from the second processor-based system, said first
information to enable the first processor-based system to determine if it can
acquire second information sufficient to display an image, in connection with the
on-line meeting, from a cache local to the first processor-based system;
upon receipt of the first information, utilize the first information to
determine whether the second information is stored in a local cache coupled to said
first processor-based system; and
retrieve the second information from the local cache if the second
information was locally cached.
