Instruction presentation apparatus

摘要

The invention is an instruction presentation apparatus adapted to present a series of instruction screen displays to a user according to a predetermined sequence. Each instruction screen display includes both textual information describing the work to be done during execution of an instruction and graphical information correlated with the textual information graphically illustrating the machine that is worked on during execution of the instruction. The apparatus is configured to withhold display of a next instruction screen display in a series of instruction screen displays until the apparatus receives a user initiated command to display a next instruction screen display. By withholding display of text and graphics pertaining to an instruction until receipt of a user initiated command, and by simultaneously presenting textual and graphical information particularly associated with that textual information for each instruction that is executed, the apparatus significantly enhances a user's ability to comprehend each instruction and to maintain attention on the instruction presently being executed.
