ABSTRACT:
A color coded electronic user interface system is provided for use between an end user and a computer system. The system includes a graphical user interface that presents information to the user from the computer system on a display device. This information preferably includes instructional icons having associated therewith a computer system procedure from different predetermined functional categories and a color. In addition, a user input device receives user instructions for initiating computer system procedures. The user input device includes a function key having a color which corresponds to each of the instructional icons. Also, the system includes a controller which initiates the computer system procedure based on which function key is actuated. As a result, the user can associate and initiate computer system procedures based on a uniform color coding scheme of associated instructional icons and function keys. In addition, a color coded electronic user interface method and storage device readable by a computer system for implementing the method are provided.
