Abstract

See full text

A method of operating a processor control machine, and a machine having a processor for producing human perceptible output related to an image display feature presented in an original image using the model data structure (the model) from which the original image was produced. In response to the display of an output producing region displayed coextensively with the first image segment including a display feature representing a data item in the model, a human perceptible output is produced using the data item. This is done at the same time as the first image is being displayed, giving the perception to a machine user of providing information related to the display feature in the first segment. The human perceptible output is a second image displayed by the output producing region, called a viewing operation region, or VOR. The VOR consists of one or more explicit input regions and one or more explicit output regions, spatially separated from the one or more input regions. The VOR, nevertheless, functions to bind or link the second view in the output region to the original image associated with the input region.
