  • Device and method for controlling selection in a user interface employing a display
    Patent number: 5159546
    Abstract: A device and method of controlling a duplicator with a user interface. A display, located on top of the duplicator, displays cascading menus (cascades) of various modes and selections available to the user at a given time. Cascades are selectively displayed depending on which combinations of optional devices are present in the duplicator. The method allows a large amount of information to be displayed on a relatively small display, thus eliminating display clutter. Keys on the display have different meanings depending on the current display picture.
