Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is an apparatus and method to build programs from activity functional units (AFUs) within a graphical environment. AFUs are comprised of a set of graphically-represented functional units (FUs). The resulting AFUs can be combined with other FUs and previously-created code represented in FU graphical form to build large complex programs which are easily modified and added to by the user by means of manipulation of graphical elements on the computer screen.
