`REISSUE APPLICATION
`
`6.
`The early T_Vision protot.vpe did not use the method disclosed in U.S. Palent
`No, 6,100,897. RE41.428, or the present reissue application because at the time ot'
`SIGGRAPH 95, the msthod had not.vet been iinplemented trr invented.
`7.
`The notr,vork intlastr,ucture required for the method disclosed in U.S. Patent
`'No. 6,i00,897, R1141,428, and the present reissne application did not exist on a gkrbal scaie
`at the time of'SICCRAPI'I 95.
`8.
`The early'prototype denronstrated at SI(i(IRAPII 95 used a simple singie
`database residing on a loeal system to access the earth data u.ithin the database. A disiribured
`database rvas not used at SIGGRAPH 95, and a s,vstem prnviderl '*,jth a plurality of spatiall;,
`distributed clata sources was not clemonstrated at SIGGRAPH 95. The systern denronstr:aled
`at SIGGRAPH 95 was also not networked. Because the systern was a stanclalone prototype
`
`demonstrated in a non-networked c:onfi,guration, it r.vould have heen unable to pertbrm at least
`
`steps a, c, f, and g as recited in clairn 1 of RE41428. Thus, the early protntype demonstrated
`
`at SIGGRAPITI 95 did not possess all of the claimed featnres.
`9.
`At that time, it was atso urlolear rvhether a distrilruted database could even be
`used in snch a system due to limitations in computing speed, graphics capabilil.v. and netu,ork
`
`intlastructure.
`10. [J.S. Patcnt No. 6,100.891,1{841,428, and the present reissue application all
`relate to the next generation s).stem, using a distriliuted database and a plurality of spatially
`distlibuted data sources.
`I 1. Befbre SIGC}RAI'|J 95, an early prototype of thc f _Vision System was also
`clemonstlated at the Interactive Media Festival in Los Angeles in 1995.
`12. The early prototype demonstrated at the Inteiactive Media Festival also used a
`simple single database resir-ling orr a local systenr to access the ealth data within tlre database.
`A distriburteci database was not used al the Interactive }r4edia Festival, zrud a systern ,r.ith a
`plur:ality of spatially distributed data sources was not demonstrated at the Interactive Meclia
`Fostivat. Tire system demonstrated at the Interactivc Mediir Festival r,vas also not networkcd,
`Because the sysiem \^,as a standalone prototype demonsttated in a non-netrvorked
`coniiguration, it would have been unable to perfonn at leasl steps a. s, f, and g as recited in
`claim I ol RE41zl28. fhus. the early irrototype demonstrate.d at the Interactive lvledia
`Feslival clid not possess ati of the claimed features. Again, at that time, it rvas unclear y-$,ril
