Abstract

PURPOSE:To facilitate a correspondence irrespective of the type of a guide information even if the number of pages of the guide information is increased by displaying an image information read from an image memory means in response to a storing address outputted from a discriminating means or a display lapse memory means. CONSTITUTION:When inputting the start key 15 of a key input mechanism 1, the pointer of a recording mechanism 4 is set at an initial value Po through a mechanism 3. When a number corresponding to a desired guide information is inputted from a key section 11, a discriminating mechanism 2 reads a corresponding image from a magnetic memory through a reading mechanism 5 and displays on a display mechanism 6. A recording mechanism 4 records this image ID and a storing address in a stack 41 and renews a pointer to P1. When inputting a next page key 12, the discriminating mechanism 2 refers to an image ID table, feeds the storing address to the reading mechanism 5, displays the corresponding image on the display mechanism 6. At the same time, the recording mechanism 4 records this image ID and the storing address in the stack 41 to renew a pointer to P2. A similar operation is repeated thereafter.

and an image ID table creation mechanism 7 that creates an image ID table showing the relationship between the image Il) and the guide information image to be displayed next in response to each of the commands;
It is composed of a control mechanism 3 that controls each of these mechanisms.

In this embodiment, it is assumed that a plurality of pieces of guidance information can be displayed, and each piece of guidance information has at least one page.

Referring to FIG. 2(a), the key manual mechanism 1 includes a numeric keypad part 11 for inputting numbers, a next page key 12, a previous page key 13, a backward key 1'4, and a start key 15. and a related item key 16. A description of each key is shown in FIG. 2(b).

FIG. 3 shows an image ID table referred to by the guide information discriminating mechanism 2. This table contains the current image ID field 21, the key capital punishment field 22, and the next image I
It consists of a D field 23 and a next image case f1 address field 24. This table stores the image ID and corresponding image of the page of guidance information to be displayed next to the page of guidance information corresponding to the image ID shown in the current image ID field 21.
= Enter the stored storage address in field 23 for each key.
and 24.

FIG. 4 shows a display history stack 41 created in the recording mechanism 4. In this figure, the image IDs (0) to () corresponding to the displayed guidance information (0) to (n) are shown in
n) and image storage address aQ%afi are stacked. When the start key 15 is pressed in the mechanism 1, the pointer points to the position Po. Next, keys 11-1
When the mantles 3 and 16 are input in sequence, the image ID and storage address of the displayed guide information are sequentially stacked by updating the pointer. Note that when the backward key 14 is pressed, the previously displayed information is displayed and the pointer is moved back by one position, which is different from when pressing other keys.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. Key human power mechanism 1
When the start key 15 is input, this information is given to the recording mechanism 4 via the mechanism 3. This mechanism 4 is M
Set the jJ pointer to the initial value P. Next, part 1
When a number corresponding to desired guide information from 1 to 61 is input, the discrimination mechanism 2 instructs the display mechanism 5 to read out an image corresponding to this guide information. The mechanism 5 reads the corresponding image from the magnetic storage device and displays this image on the display mechanism 6. At this time, the recording mechanism 4 records the image ID and storage address of this image on the stack 41, and updates the pointer to Pl. Next, next page key 1
If 2 is input, the discrimination mechanism 2 refers to the image ID table. For example, if the image ID of the currently displayed guide information page is (003), fields 21 and 24 of the table in Figure 3 can be set using the information (003) and (next page key). The image ID of the page to be displayed next after testing is (004
), it can be seen that its storage address is X4. The discrimination mechanism 2 transfers this storage address X4 to the bladder removal mechanism 5, and the mechanism 5 reads out the image corresponding to the address x4 and displays it on the display mechanism 6. At the same time, the recording mechanism 4 records this image ID and storage address X4 on the stack 41, and updates the pointer to P2. Thereafter, similar operations are repeated in response to inputs from keys other than keys 14 and 15. Further, when the backward key 14 is input, the storage address of the previous guidance information is learned from the recording mechanism 4, and this guidance information is displayed at the display mechanism 6.
