Abstract
The invention is a process and device for the function selection of complex technical equipment having standardized operating sequences and standardized interfaces. The interactive module is universally applicable by means of a universal dialog processor and programmable displays and function keys. Furthermore the invention refers to a process for user prompting implemented by displaying an interactive protocol in conjunction with a conventional user prompting method (e.g. menus), said protocol permitting at the same time the control of the interactive sequence by using programmable displays and function keys.
