USER TERMINAL

摘要

A user terminal, comprising user modules in software and hardware, a screen and pointing means for selecting screen objects, with which modules or sub-modules can be activated. A generic selection module generates in a primary selection field (6) selection objects (A, B, C, ...) for activating application modules. For all application modules, a panel-shaped screen object having a uniform structure is generated, comprising a central information panel (1), vertical side panels and horizontal panels, [and] selection objects (a, b, c, ...; al, a2, a3, ...). The information panel and both horizontal panels can shift away or back in horizontal and in vertical direction under the control of panel sliding buttons (4, 5). Horizonzal shifting displays or hides the primary selection fields (6); vertical shifting displays or hides a full set of selection buttons (a...i) from which the user can form a subset which is displayed on the side panels (2).
