Abstract
The method of generating a set of instructions for teaching a process including the generation of a video image of each step of the process while viewing the image on a video monitor for correction and adjustment, printing over the image various characters representing instructions to teach the process, printing a hard copy photograph of the process and recording the video image on a recorder for future use.
Claims3
The method of generating a set of instructions for conducting a process, comprising the steps of:
- conducting the process to show the various steps of the process in sequential order;
- imaging each step of the process with a video camera to generate a video signal;
- supplying the video signal to a video monitor to allow study of the image for correction and alteration;
- generating a hard copy of the image by supplying the video signal to a hard copy device capable of receiving a video signal and generating a hard copy photograph-like record on a paper-like medium;
- recording the video signal on a video signal recorder for future use in generating subsequent hard copies;
- and
- assembling the hard copies in proper sequence to form a set of instructions showing the process.
