Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 電機工程學系 === 86 === Many application programs on computer systems are getting more
complex as their functionality is enhanced. As a result, they
require their users to have extensive knowledge in many
different disciplines in order to take advantage of the power of
the systems.Therefore, it is virtually impossible for a novice
to master a complicated application. Even if some users can
understand the functionality of a computer system to some
extent, they may not use the system in a consistent fashion. The
concept of hyper-control wasproposed to solve the problem
mentioned above [Chen 96]. The basic idea of hyper-control is to
use a hypermedia document to control other hardware or software
systems. The same idea can also be applied to other systems to
shorten the The same idea can also be applied to other systems
to shorten the training time, and to make the on-line help
system more effective.In this thesis, based on the Design
Pattern technology, we design and implement a system
architecture supporting the hyper-record and the hyper-control
mechanism. The hyper-record mechanism allows an application
system to record user’s operations and then save the results as
a hyper-control document automatically. The user can control an
application system through a hyper-control document. The system
also provides a convenient tool to manage hyper-control
documents, and allows users to share their experiences by
exchanging their hyper-control documents on the Web. We also
propose the concept of the “Dialog Server” for developing a
consistent user interface quickly and easily.
