ACTIVE CONTENT WIZARD EXECUTION WITH IMPROVED CONSPICUITY

摘要

Active Content Wizards (ACWs) related to helping computer users perform tasks are executed using an ACW interpreter. In one aspect of the present invention, the interpreter provides multiple levels of user interaction for a given ACW script. In order to help focus the user's attention, various methods are used to increase the conspicuity of the user interface elements relative to sub-tasks during execution of the ACW script. In one embodiment, areas around the user interface element are also de-emphasized.
