ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an operation guidance generating unit, in which data necessary to generate a guidance display are stored in a guidance description unit, an object data unit, and a style rule unit. The guidance description unit updates the contents of the display of the guidance in accordance with a procedure a user is to follow. The object data unit stores image data for each element consisting of an image and an image data processing program; the image data for each element are necessary to generate a guidance image. Of all the guidance images generated by the image data stored in the object data unit, the style rule unit stores display format data for an area where a display format is amendable. An automatic guidance generating unit selects certain image data from the object data unit in accordance with each procedure described in the guidance description unit, generating guidance image data by editing the image data based on the display format stored in the style rule unit.
