FIG. 2 shows a specific circuit configuration of an embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, the control unit 21. Output unit 22, image memory 23, image processing circuit (BMU) 24, keyboard 2, video random access memory (VRAM) 9
, are commonly connected to the system bus 30. Control part 2
1 mainly includes a microprocessor (MPU) 21a, an internal memory 21b, and an external storage device 21-1.

The MI'1J 21a performs the following processing by executing a program, which will be described later, stored in the internal memory 21b.

(1) Performs document processing instructed by the keyboard 2 (first input means) and pointing device 3 as an arithmetic processing means.

(2) When learning mode is instructed from the keyboard 2, learning processing is performed and the device operates as a display control means.

(3) Performs other device control for the entire system.

The external storage device 21-1 stores the created document information in either a hard disk 21C, a floppy disk 21d, or a cartridge disk 21e. Further, the document information to be processed is not read from the storage medium. The internal memory 21b as a storage means stores the document processing program 2tb-x.
, learning data 21b-2, which is a collection of messages indicating operating procedures for each learning item, and system program 21b.
-3, and a random access memory (RAM) that temporarily stores document information to be processed.

The output unit 22 includes a high-speed printer 22a and an interface 22b. The high-speed printer 22a is, for example, a laser beam printer that records recording information in the form of electrical signals in dots on a recording material. Interphase 22b transfers recording information from MPU 21a to high-speed printer 22a.

The image memory 23 temporarily stores image information to be output to the high-speed printer 22a. A keyboard 2 serving as a first input means and a second input means, together with a pointing device 3 called a mouse, input various operation instruction information and character information in document processing. pointing device 3
is used to input position information in image creation processing.

VRAM 9 temporarily stores information to be displayed on display device IO. The BMU 24 executes control processing to rotate and move the image inserted into the text.

Next, the operation of the circuit shown in the second diagram will be explained with reference to FIG.

When learning processing is instructed from the keyboard, the MPU 21a
executes the control procedure shown in FIG. In Figure 3, MP
U21a reads out a learning item guidance message previously stored in internal memory 21b and displays it on CRT display device IO (step 530 in FIG. 3).

Next, the learner's selection input of a learning item from the keyboard 2 is accepted (step 531 in FIG. 3).

If there is no instruction from the learner to end the process, internal memory 2
For example, an operation message regarding the learning item inputted from 1b is displayed on the CRT display device 10 as shown in FIG. 4 (step 533 in FIG. 3).

Next, the operation of the circuit shown in the second diagram will be explained with reference to FIG.

When learning processing is instructed from the keyboard 2, the MPU 21
a executes the control procedure shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, first, the learner uses the keyboard 2 or pointing device 3 to select an item for which he/she wants to learn how to operate (step 531). At this time, if "end" is selected and input, the learning program of this procedure ends. If a specific learning item is selected from among a large number of learning items, a learning operation for that item is activated (step 532). For example, when a learner selects and inputs a learning item "how to draw a figure" from the keyboard, a learning operation that explains how to draw a figure is activated. That is, first, explanatory text about how to operate the keyboard 2 and pointing device 3 is read from the internal memory 21b by the MPU 21a, and then displayed on the CRT display device IO (step 533). Next, the document processing command input by the operator specializing in document processing commands for this learning item stored in the internal memory 21b is reproduced and executed (step 534). At this time, if the document processing is simply reproduced, it will be difficult for the learner to understand what instructions to input using the keyboard 2 or pointing device 3. Therefore, when reproducing an operation performed by a specialized operator, a message regarding operation guidance is displayed on the CRT display device 10 so that it is easy for the learner to understand. For example, the message “Press the left mouse button twice”
Display a message before a necessary input operation, such as.

Next, the learner's input on document processing is accepted. At this time,
It is difficult for the learner to know where in the document displayed on the CRT display device 10, for example, text information can be input. In addition, keyboard 2 and pointing device 3
It is also difficult to understand how to operate it. Therefore, in this example, the input device is indicated on the CRT display device 1O by a range indicating cursor, and the operating method of the keyboard 2 and pointing device 3 is displayed at the same time. Thereby, the learner can easily learn how to operate the keyboard 2 and pointing device 3. The above operations are repeated until the selected learning item is completed (step S35→536).

FIG. 4 shows an example of a range indicating cursor displayed on the CRT display device IO and a message instructing how to operate the keyboard 2 and pointing device 3.

The square dotted line 41 in the figure is a range indication cursor, and the symbol 42 in the shape of a human hand next to it is a symbol requesting operation of the keyboard 2 or pointing device 3 at the position indicated by the range indication cursor 4. be. Reference numeral 43 is a message indicating the operation content of the keyboard 2 or pointing device 3. Reference numeral 44 is a diagrammatic representation of the contents of the message.

Conventional learning operations only involve demonstrations of how to operate the keyboard 2 and pointing device 3, making it difficult for learners to understand how to operate them. However, in this example,
Learning is facilitated by displaying guidance messages regarding operating methods and information input positions on the CRT display device 1, thereby increasing learning efficiency.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, in the present invention, the selected learning message is displayed on the display means, so the learner can practice input operations according to the message. Also,
By repeatedly selecting the same learning item, the operator can learn only that learning item as many times as necessary, making learning easy and improving learning efficiency.
