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.
