Zusammenfassung:	PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a user interface for a device which supports a complicated user interactive task while providing a simple command interface. SOLUTION: A disclosed processing device, including an on-screen user interface display, incorporates a means for generating a display of a plurality of hierarchically ordered menus (500). The menus include a current menu (555) and a preceding parent menu (535, 540, 545, 550) showing a selection path (545, 555) from the parent menu to the current menu. Also a menu selection item (555) within the hierarchical menu display provides a user (a) a display of control information for the device, (b) a function selection capability and (c) control parameter data entry capability. They have a master-slave relationship in the sequence of (a), (b) and (c). The processing device also incorporates a means for updating the on-screen display in response to user menu item selection (555) by a user. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
