ABSTRACT:
An operator guide device is constructed to detect guidance needed by the user with an inputted key word request. The key word is extracted from the request, referenced by a corresponding table, and used to target an operation. A list of operations is determined from the current operating state and the target operation. Guide or help information corresponding to each of the operations in the list is displayed to guide the user to the target operation through several state transitions. Furthermore, the help information displayed on the screen is reflective of the user's competence or proficiency level for each operation.
