DEFINITION

Classification: 463/30

Perceptible output or display (e.g., tactile, etc.):

(under subclass 1) Electronic data processing including a recited detail of a structural or procedural means for presenting information to a participant in a manner that can be recognized in the mind of the participant through one of the participant's senses.

(1) Note. To be properly classified in this subclass, there must be more than mere nominal recitation of an output or display.

(2) Note. This subclass provides for hardware for actually presenting sensory perceivable information, and for software or other data creation, manipulation, or other methodology for the specific purpose of presenting perceivable information to a participant.
