Appeal 2007-1720 Application 09/148,832 information about usage information related to at least a portion of a property should be collected, reported, and/or used. (Ginter, col. 46, ll. 5-27). 6. Ginter also discloses the format of a generic logical object structure data package in Figure 17 (Ginter, col. 134, ll. 15-28), and discloses specific embodiments of this generic data package as applied to traveling objects (Figure 19), content objects (Figure 20), and smart objects (Figure 73). 7. Ginter discloses: The content portion of the object is typically divided into portions called data blocks 812. Data blocks 812 may contain any sort of electronic information, such as, “content,” including computer programs, images, sound, VDE administration information, etc. The size and number of data blocks 812 may be selected by the creator of the property. Data blocks 812 need not all be the same size (size may be influenced by content usage, database format, operating system, security and/or other considerations). Security will be enhanced by using at least one key block 810 for each data block 812 in the object, although this is not required. Key blocks 810 may also span portions of a plurality of data blocks 812 in a consistent or pseudo-random manner. The spanning may provide additional security by applying one or more keys to fragmented or seemingly random pieces of content contained in an object 300, database, or other information entity. (Ginter, col. 135, l. 59 – col. 136, l. 8.) As such, Ginter discloses a data package or “object” which contains data relating to the transaction (e.g., content material). 5Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Next
