Appeal 2007-1658
Application 09/838,428
Appellants' invention relates to an improved system for presenting
multimedia data to users with disabilities. See Specification, page 1. Claim
1 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it reads as follows:
1. A method for presenting text from moving video to a user, the
method comprising:
receiving multimedia data containing a plurality of moving video
frames and an associated plurality of sets of text data, wherein the associated
plurality of sets of text data are associated in time with the plurality of
moving video frames, wherein the plurality of sets of text data includes a
first text data set associated with a first plurality of moving video frames of
the multimedia data, and a second text data set associated with a second
plurality of moving video frames of the multimedia data;
extracting the associated plurality of sets of text data from the
multimedia data;
extracting a first video frame, from the first plurality of moving video
frames, associated with the first text data set to form a first still image;
extracting a second video frame, from the second plurality of moving
video frames, associated with the first1 text data set to form a second still
image;
outputting the first text data set in association with the first still image;
and
outputting the second text data set in association with the second still
image.
The prior art references of record relied upon by the Examiner in
rejecting the appealed claims are:
1 Since the second plurality of moving video frames is associated with a
second text data set, it appears that this should read "second." We note that
the same inconsistency appears in each of the independent claims.
