This paper proposes an Object-Oriented Video technique, which enables operators to interact with objects in a live video just as they interact with graphic objects, and introduces a prototype system, HyperPlant, which has been implemented to demonstrate effectiveness of this technique. The Object-Oriented Video technique conveys realities of plants to operators in a control center and allows them to work on tasks in real spatial context. This context helps operators to intuitively grasp what they are doing and what is going on as the result of their actions.

This paper proposes a new man-machine technique for operator's consoles at plant control centers. The technique is direct manipulation of objects in real motion pictures taken by monitor cameras. Operators can manipulate devices placed in a plant, such as buttons and sliders, with pick and drag operations on the real motion pictures. They can also get information related to objects which they pick on the real motion pictures. The virtues of the technique are: (1) The operators intuitively understand what they are doing and what is going on as the result of their manipulation because of the realty of the pictures, as compared with graphic interfaces. (2) The consistent interface to real motion pictures and to graphics is established. Operators can manipulate objects shown either in real motion pictures or in graphics in the same direct manipulation manner. A prototype man-machine interface with the technique is presented to show how the technique is applied to plant control centers. © 1991, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

Design concept of a system for developing application-dependentuser interface

The authors describe a novel approach to a user interface management system (UIMS), which does not need much programming effort constructing graphical user interfaces. Using a conventional UIMS, designers can develop a graphical user interface by combination of user-interface parts such as menus or meters. But in this approach, a variety of user-interface parts are needed to build a graphical user interface customized for a particular application, and it is also difficult to prepare all parts types beforehand. The authors extend the UIMS concept by which a designer can build a graphical user interface for a particular application without any programming. Its main points are: (1) not only using the parts, but drawing a picture for display design by a graphical editor, (2) then relating the picture to an application program, and (3) adding echoing functions to the picture by deciding how to manipulate figures using interactive methods
