From KSR we find the court stating that the proper question to ask for obviousness was:

"whether a pedal designer of ordinary skill, facing the wide range of needs created by developments in the field of endeavor, would have seen a benefit to upgrading Asano with a sensor."

or in general

"whether a [person] of ordinary skill, facing the wide range of needs created by developments in the field of endeavor, would have seen a benefit [in combining two or more pieces of prior art]."
