Summary
The application relates to transcoding a web site by storing information that is found on one page of the site, inserting it into the transcoded version of another page, and providing the result to a mobile communication device. The ‘stored information’ may be a street address, a map, a telephone number or a brand logo.
The Hearing Officer applied the Aerotel/Macrossan test and also considered the decisions in Symbian, AT&T Knowledge Ventures LP and CVON, Autonomy, and Townsend. He concluded that the contribution made by the invention fell solely within excluded matter. The application was refused as no more than a program for a computer and the presentation of information as such.
